I'd rather have John Gemmell You played against him? and no, I haven't either, but heard he is very hard to handle....Goodie would so feed off him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a dreadful midfield this season he struggled to be selected for the starting 11. To be honest, I wouldn't have re-signed him last season Talented player, but simply needs to be 40% fitter....if he can't commit to that he deserves to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Would you consider this season to be a successful one?My opinion is 8th place is a success. I had hoped for 8th before the season started, 7th at a push.Also a decent cup runHowever our football had been pretty awful and rotten to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely League 1 line up...... Airdrie, Alloa, US, Cove, East Fife, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Morton, Peterhead, Queens Park. Unless a change of heart....Chairman saying Budget for players around same as this year. Looks tough again.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hoped for 8th before the season started, 7th at a push.Also a decent cup runHowever our football had been pretty awful and rotten to watch.Success in that we stayed up but we really just finished the best of 3 really poor sides in Clyde, Dumbarton and Forfar. League 1 will be stronger next year so a big improvement is required.The season has just been shite from the start not just due to our largely awful performances but the stop, start nature of it. Watching it on Pixellot has been garbage too. I'm scunnered with all the in-fighting and arguments around Covid as well there really should have been an agreed set of rules put in place at the start of the season.

Looks tough again.......... We don't know who is in our league, so we do not know attendances e.g. Morton v Cove We don't know who is sponsoring us, and the amount I assume? We don't know what the SFA and SPL distribution is to be yet. We don't know whether our fan groups will continue as before with donations e.g. Bully Wee fund, Golf day, Xmas dinner etc. We don't know our cost base for things other than salaries yet If we are settling on a budget already then we are doing well re predictions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the chairman said it at the AGM....feel sure the budget for the squad will already have been given to Danny so he can make his imminent decision on who he retains and who he lets go. Doubt with so much cash in the bank they really need to wait for the play offs to conclude before deciding. If we waited for all of the above to be nailed down.......we'd be in trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Clubs are starting to approach players already. Surely the player budget is set by now. Surely the golf day, the Xmas raffle and dinner etc can be forecast with reasonable intelligence from last years figures...surely this is the job of a FD to set the budgets at this time or even before. Surely the commercial dept are set targets from which a budget can be forecast? I'm really struggling to see where SLW is coming from here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxruby Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 When was the last time we agreed a pre contract deal with a player? We seem to scrape around the bottom of the “no longer required” barrel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
