SueSue Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 1 hour ago, SUPERSOUTH said: Listening to sportsound it cost Roy Mcgregor from Ross County £35,000 to buy a covid testing machine plus it'll cost them £50 a week per person to get tested. He thinks all spl clubs wil need to have their own to get the league up and running, but could possibly share usage. I wonder with Queens training at Hamilton they might also get the use of their covid testing machine further down the line when the Championship clubs gets the go ahead to start training again. Sure with QoS Director Mark Blount being on the medical & player welfare committee group to get scottish football started again Queens will be right up to speed with all the medical guidelines etc. why doesn’t the guy wanting to put £2m into the Scottish game buy 10 of these testing machines, allocate 4 clubs to each machine and cover the cost of testing for 12 months. That would be his money well spent in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, as seems likely, League One and League Two are not played next season, or at least not played until crowds are allowed which in turn presumably means the testing regime for players is likely to be less stringent, then giving a £35k machine to clubs down there will achieve absolutely nothing. The clubs would certainly rather have the cash to put towards their fixed costs. If playing behind closed doors isn't achievable anyway then testing players to allow it is pointless. As a suggestion for the top two divisions though it makes some sense. I guess though if the bottom two divisions have the cash the other clubs would say they'd rather have the cash too and decide for themselves how best to spend it.

Thus giving most clubs enough finance to see out the remainder of the season. Edited June 6, 2020 by SUPERSOUTH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Did you guys ever have a sell on with Dykes? We've basically came out and said he's leaving for no less than £2m so even a tiny sell on would net you a decent bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hope so, but I suspect not. Pure speculation on my part, but I suspect getting Dykes back on loan from the January and then Jack Hamilton last season were the sweeteners in the deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental he's valued so high but hopefully he goes for such a price if we do have a sell-on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Whoda thunk three seasons ago we would be even talking about the chance of getting a wad of cash for Lyndon Dykes going to that lot. Good luck to the lad if the move does happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entirely separate deals 6 months apart. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Livi should be giving us an extra 10% for nicking McCrorie and sending us that dud Stewart. Fair's fair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MallanandFlanagan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 With a possible start date for the Championship in October when will Queens need to start building a squad? Bearing in mind there will have to be a preseason of sorts I imagine the beginning of September. Any other views on this? And who would you like to come in realistically!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind there will have to be a preseason of sorts I imagine the beginning of September. Any other views on this? And who would you like to come in realistically!) I don't think we can afford to start building a squad until that "possible start date" becomes a "probable start date" or even a "definite start date". As for signing targets, it's going to be a complete free-for-all, with most teams starting from scratch. I suppose the teams that did well enough last year might stick with what they know and re-sign a lot of last season's squad. Better the devil you now and all that. That wouldn't be an advisable strategy for ourselves though. Assuming we stick with Johnston, which unfortunately seems likely, hopefully he has learned some major lessons from last season. We basically require a whole squad, but priorities have to be; a reliable goalkeeper, actual wide men instead of 10 central midfielders none any better than the others, and an energetic partner for Dobbie. Of the ones released there isn't anyone I'm desperate to see return, but I'd be fine with Semple, Mercer and Lyon returning. Kilday, Murray and Hamilton would be acceptable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it there will be no transfer window meaning we can add players in September . It seems we are going to play 27 games play teams 3 times surely we could finish the season later and still play 36 games . As for new signing it looks like we will still be full time so like last season we will pick up players late who can't get a deal anywhere else . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
