TFW Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Talbot players are going nowhere. Why would they? Best set up outside the SPFL, best fans - anywhere - and they play for the shirt, not cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not naive, and know it will be amongst the bast structure at the old Junior grade, and so it should be because we have been a consistently good side winning many honours. It's the honours that are the difference though. You do get some mercenaries at our grade, and others looking for final pay days, who would rather have the money than medals. If you can get both, and the players certainly have during Tucker's reign at Beechwood, then you have the best of both worlds. Couple that with our support, who have raised something like nearly £200,000 for the players transfer and retention fund since it started and it's easy to see why there's such a strong relationship between players and fans. Let's not forget as well, that Tucker and his management team, and all the players contribute to that as well - so there's approximately £2,000 coming in for team building from themselves every year. Talbot never go head to head with other clubs over transfer targets. Remember the Irvine Meadow situation when they were chasing the honours a decade back now, and they were buying players to stop the likes of Talbot buying them. That was never sustainable. Then you look at Tucker's record of plucking players from the more obscure ranks of the game - Annbank is a favourite hunting ground - and his record there is second to none. We do buy established players. Gormley and Steven Wilson being two prime examples, when goalscorers were needed, but on the whole Talbot do not pay big, and would certainly never countenance paying the kind of wages it would take to bring some of the ex seniors who have played in the Super League to Beechwood. Will any Talbot players move this season? I doubt it very much, but you never know. We were on the verge of something very special last season when it all stopped. Big money clubs like Darvel might be competing for honours with the cash they've been throwing around, but it's not a sure fire way of guaranteeing success. You can buy great players, but you never know if they'll mould into a great team or not. Over the last two decades Talbot have shown the team ethos is the way to win trophies, and am sincerely hoping when we start back up again it serves us right again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
