If he thinks a player is good enough he'll sign him 2/20 isn’t too convincing but fair enough. Possibly 3 if Sal stays. He’s let go Main, Moore, Jamieson, McGrory who are all learning their trade. He’ll need to recruit a lot to get an 11, a full bench and some squad players. The youngsters I’ve listed could have stayed and developed. I also thought the idea was to sell players for a price and not give them to our competitors for free? Our YPOTY going to Stirling is the first example. I think he’s going in his own direction. That’s fine btw, our team is forming strong. The players that have arrived are exciting. Just my thoughts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanQP Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I think people should take into account that we can’t have bloated rosters anyway as each player needs to be paid. If they aren’t going to make a difference to the team and Ray thinks he can get better players out there then he should release them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our YPOTY going to Stirling is the first example. The idea is players in our youth team will no longer be snapped up for free by bigger clubs . Moore was a first team player who was out of contract so free to go anywhere he likes for no fee. I don't think Stirling would have offered a fee for him if he was under contract, especially in the current climate. Now I suppose we could have extended his contract but what's the point if he isn't in McKinnon's future plans. That would have been unfair on everyone. I'm more excited to see how our youth system develops players under the new set up. We will also be able to attract better youth players to develop. McKinnon is definitely going in his own direction and rightly so. I don't see that stopping him from signing ex-QP players currently playing at a higher level if he thinks they will improve the team.

Hampden Diehard Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Really encouraging news from the club in setting up the first Modern Apprenticeship and part time contracts for some of the youngsters. This is the way to keep them and maybe we'll get a year or two extra out of the next Andy Robertson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Reilly Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Exciting times with the new ground Can’t see it clearly on the plans but has the suggested standing area not made it into the final design?I noticed that someone had commented on the clubs Facebook page asking about a standing area. There's a reply from the clubs account saying there is some standing included in the plans, but it will be dependant on approval by "licensing authorities, city council etc." Hopefully this gets the go ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all see his potential but no way is he going to get a game ahead of Muir and Bell right now. This gives him focus and stops another club nicking him for their youth team. In a couple of years we should have a fine young keeper. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a couple of years we should have a fine young keeper. Ideally be looking to loan him out to a Pollok, BSC or Clyde type club in the coming years. Important that our full-time players get experience before making the step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any club that wants to install a safe standing area in Scotland needs to apply for the appropriate permits, so why you believe QP should be afforded special privileges is beyond me. I'm sure your sugar daddy Haughey could pull a few strings given his connections. He moves in the same circles as Lawwell.

Pondering over things that are beyond you will only give you a sore head, Charlie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
