Saw Fletcher play for Stoke towards the end of last season. Coming back up here isn’t suddenly going to make him be able to run again and he is likely to spend half the season injured. This looks like a massive gamble and possibly a serious waste of money. 

Nothing against United.  But this all reminds me off the Boyle Motherwell years. Spunk a LOT of cash on players past their best and hope it comes together. I hope your owner has deep pockets….

I'm off for a cold shower lads. Its all a bit much for me. Two signings in close proximity, two internationals and two boys that'll have us in the group stages of the Champs League next season.

Tony, I'm almost willing to consider you might actually know what you're doing. Nearly.

The cash we have spunked so far isn't even the difference in prize money we got from finishing above Motherwell.

But we're not spunking a lot of cash. The wages to income will have fallen last season due to paying customers back in the grounds, and league prize money. Squad will be smaller this season. This coming season we'll go into it with our highest season ticket sales in over a decade. We have the.Shankland money, Fuchs money (and potentially fuchs sell on fee).

18 players out, 3 in. Hardly an exercise in profligacy.

Losses have been coming down eaxh year from 2019-2021. That included the Mellonball year with no fans in the stadium. The money received in the Premiership is far higher than the Championship and even with the high wage to turnover our wage bill was similalr to Motherwell. We have more ST sales, higher ave attendance than Motherwell. We have lost 18 players from our squad, some of which were higher earners. We're replacing those 18 with promoted youth and some quality signings to bring the squad to a manageable 1st team squad, adding in the league position last year, player sales, your losses should have shrunk further.

Next year should again bring the losses down with ST sales and hopefully (with some luck) a couple of Euro games, decent cup run and league position should keep it heading the correct way.

Who were these? 

Siegriest and MacDonald (one of whom was only there for about 3 months)?
