shawfield shed boy Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 If you were a manager who would u take out the two Mcstay frustrates me. Doesnt score enough goals or close for a central mid but one of the few players that can get up the park, pick a pass and perhaps with FT football could defo kick on...Grant. Is a holding deep midfielder. Very Clever and goes about his business really quiet...We.ll miss both of them (even perhaps with some of their faults that are very minimal) that is for sure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 If you were a manager who would u take out the two If we had the decision of only keeping one of them I would choose Grant. He is a bigger influence on how we play as a team, getting hold of the ball at the base of midfield and making us tick. Generally if Grant plays well, the team plays well. He rarely wastes a pass and is very composed.McStay is a good player too though and has the attributes to develop into a very good player. He is more prone to losing the ball, partly as he plays further up the park and tried to make things happen, but also partly through carelessness. As mentioned if he goes full time and is well coached he has cracking potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 McStay last 3 games was influential for the most part, pre Christmas he was worse than a man down and as everyone says it’s so frustrating because he has ability and physicality to be a good player at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyweehutch Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Well that financial update was grim to read. Even if we make it to a new season we will be playing with Lowland league pish level squad again. #TheDuffyYears 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I am pleased that the Board have been clear around the size of the issue. We now know what is required. I am surprised at the size of the issue, not having seen the accounts for 12-15 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said previously, unfortunately, the players may have to take a hit to their income. Clubs will not have the money to pay at current levels. Due to the Celtic match we may be in a slightly better position than most teams around us.When it comes to means of funding the club, I hope they consider standing orders as one method.An automated method would allow the club to budget on a known monthly donation income. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I agree that other clubs will be in the same position and probably have to lower their budgets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 While it’s not great, I was actually fearing much worse, given the initial statement was warning of severe shortfalls. Obviously not good but we might actually be better off than many. Contracts for everyone will be negotiated at a much lower figure now. We will not be alone in this, hopefully the attraction of Danny Lennon and Broadwood set up will help when we are trying to attract player on smaller contracts 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the above signed beyond this summer is a decent start and better off than some other clubs will be at this stage in terms of looking ahead to next season. I dare say most if not every club in the lower leagues will have reduced budgets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The important thing to realise and if possible solve is that number has to be raised every season to continue at this level, not just once. This is a structural problem not a one-off. All the more reason to avoid the Falkirk up, Thistle stay up, Clyde down scenario of reconstruction i.e. 14-14-14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawfield shed boy Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Im fine with statement. Honest enough.. Personally not expecting anything positive from SPFL reconstriction for us and reading between the lines the club perhaps has this in mind moving forward.. More importantly with the funds we do have available DL needs to be very wise with his signings , Cant afford to bring in Wallaces. Smiths. Johnstons and Petkov wage to sit on the bench & a couple of under 19s starting before them, that im sure he knows himself.. Never a dull day indeed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Having read Livingston suggestion here is mine. First and foremost looks at Clyde's interest but does away with the tedium of 10 team leagues and adds more play off excitement. Premier - 14 teams - play home and away gives 26 games. The split gives the top 6 another 10 games - total 36. The bottom 8 get 14 more = 40 games. 40 games gives more revenue. Relegation for 1 team and then 12th,13th play off versus 2nd and 3rd in Championship. Championship - 18 teams - play home and away = Minimum 34 games which is two less if you do not get involved in play offs, so League cup/Other cup can be restructured to make up extra games before Premier clubs join. Promotion for 1 team plus 2nd and 3rd in play off. Relegation for one team and play off for 16th and 17th versus 2nd and 3rd in Division 2. That means 6 places are competitive in a league of 18, so up to 12-14 teams could be playing to win/avoid those playoffs to the end. Middle set may end up safe too early. Division 2 - 12 teams - play home and away 44 games. Gives extra revenue( but may be a couple too many). Promotion for 1 team plus 2nd and 3rd in play off versus 16th and 17th in Championship. Relegation - either 1 team relegated or play off with HL/LL Additional alternative suggestion could be split in Championship after 17 games with top and bottom section. Next set of games determines play-off places plus Promotion/Relegation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 An 18 team league with only one guaranteed promotion and relegation spot would be absolutely dreadful. It wouldn't be surprising to have 16 of the 18 teams stay the same most years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Premier are very unlikely to agree to 2 auto spots. Otherwise you are back to 14 team leagues with 3 games and all that brings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Haven't been paying attention but I thought they were aiming for 14 with some ludicrous split involving the second tier, which would render large swathes of the season irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 They may split Prem but that has no impact on us. If they go 14-14-14 we are f*ccked 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Agreed. Much as some here don't like the Jags it seems unfair to relegate them when they could have every chance of escaping. But it would be much more unfair to, effectively, relegate ourselves and Peterhead who weren't even close to relegation. It would mean Celtic get their title, Hearts survive and Dundee United go up, while Clyde, Peterhead, Forfar and Cove get shafted. Would be hard not to conclude that they care more about the perceived "bigger" sides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
