  1. A year without Champions League money was always going to happen one day. What mistake was a business plan that relied on it.
  2. He is a young man and sounds like he is struggling emotionally. Sometimes you're better off just cutting your losses, clearing your mind and starting fresh.
  3. No, it's the constant attempt to buy talent, throw it on the park and grind out results. It has escalated recently and the football is ugly to watch too. Craig Whyte may not be a popular man but when costs > revenue for an extended period of time then you're in a bad place, regardless of the other stuff going on.
  4. Why did it take so long to move Matty on? I think he could've been brilliant but if you're not gonna play him then it's a massive waste of money. Good luck Matt!
  5. Way too hard to predict a line-up, let alone a result. I highly doubt the full current squad will be around much longer. Personally I think it should be 100% attacking mode from the team, take risks and play possession football from defence to attack and entertain the fans as they deserve it, they are after all the greatest asset to this club and the only asset that cannot be sold!
  6. There'd be a good mix of player salaries in there. Some will be on great money, but some of the younger and/or fringe players wont be raking it in and you can hardly blame them for looking after themselves.
  7. Their choice may be to either move or be unemployed (and on the long list of creditors). What they'd choose would very much be up to each individual player, but I cannot see anyone wanting to continue their footballing career not being at a club of some form.
  8. I just hope that the players are informed in full ASAP. Last thing the club needs at the moment is players on the pitch that don't know where they stand. As for who will be released, I can only assume that other clubs will be vulture-like and will be waiting/hoping for torn up contracts rather than waiting to pay up in the transfer window. I think the high wage players will be first to go, cutting costs is surely their first move. Who knows what sort of squad will be left but it's hard to imagine low-wage players will be released, but could instead become regulars. There is good reason for some balance though, cutting costs is one thing but keeping the fans turning up is financially also of utmost importance. Having been "released" from a business in dire financial circumstances it's a c*nt of a situation that I do not wish on anyone.
  9. Should be one touch football, working the triangles and tire them out. Ally doesn't like playing possession football though, he just wants it up the park.
  10. You know it's a sad situation when you start to believe that a run of bad results to force changes could be in the best interests of the long term.
  11. One big issue now is that if Ally decides to start playing McKay and he plays very well, what sort of questions is that going to raise? Especially troublesome if he was signed against Ally's wishes and hasn't been played in spite. That's a very big IF, I realise.
  12. IIRC he has even filled in at left-back for some reason and did an OK job at it (not as good as a solid LB though). But he is best off commanding the passing just left of midfield in attack and drawing the oppositions defence out of position and finding the pass to exploit it. Patient, possession football transitioning into attack. I hope he gets enough bounce games to stay reasonably sharp because it's crazy to assume we'll have many other options at the current rate.
  13. TBH I'm sick of the McCoist sympathy by some. The results have been in a downward spiral long before the transfer window.
