  1. As I understand it the money from broadcasters, sponsors etc goes into what is known as the prize pot so we get the same amount of money for not advertising cinch as those that do. Hell mend them. They chose not to pass the vote of no confidence.
  2. However they try to spin it it's a defeat for the spfl. Again. They are giving them more media rights to somewhat save the deal. Win the league at Ibrox next season and there will be no cinch in sight. Doncaster and MacLennan continue to take incompetance to a new level.
  3. It is their ground so I defend their decision to decide what they want to do with it. But this is financial lunacy. Where are all these extra fans going to come from to fill 3 stands ? All those empty seats are just going to make it a worse viewing experience for TV broadcasters. Hopefully they go down next season which will serve them right.
  4. Yes...something to fill the retirement hours.
  5. Have not bothered with football forums for the last few days. I needed a break so I was unaware of this match. Scotland scudded 3-0. Can't say I am surprrised. Set up to play like Killie and expect Killie like results.
  6. Sometimes the best team gets beat. That's football. Got to feel for Ukraine though as they were better than Wales by a country mile.
  7. Will not be at all surprised if he ends up at QPR. Wish him all the best. However we have quite a few CB's and probably time to get one off the wage bill.
  8. The only reason I can see for another year for Alan is if McLaughlin ends up injured then he is the cover. Which is hardly ideal.
  9. For me a rather strange decision as Leon is one I would have retained at least for another year. Gio gets the big bucks to make these decisions and as he sees them every day I have to back him.
  10. The sexual abuse of children is a horrible subject and how they have got away with it for generations sickens me. When the court case is won, as it surely will be, then there has to be a call to disband that club. A stain on any society. Should they wish to rebrand/reform then they can apply for entrance to the Lowland league or whatever happens to be the lowest tier. Will that happen ? In modern day Scotland I rather doubt it.
  11. We have some very promising youngsters and they have to be given their chance next season. I do not want another Goldson scenario so those going into the final year of their contract must sign extensions or we take what we can get for them. What with the sale of Nathan, the money for Gerrard, the Scottish Cup win, the run to the Europa League final we must have made a profit last season. Up to Gio how he spends his budget but I don't see more than 1 or 2 signings (first team starters) though I am not opposed to more cross border deals as both Bassey and Aribo worked out well.
  12. 70 years in the same job is quite an achievment. I am retired now but looking back I doubt if I lasted 7 years in one job. Congratulations to her.
  13. The club statement says nothing of any note. However for now I will give them a break and assume that some conversations have to remain confidential if they are to ultimately be fruitful.
  14. Squad player but nothing more. For sure not a first name on the team sheet type of player.
  15. A very mixed season with many highs and lows. Injuries to key players and managerial change did not help. Gio now has the summer to assemble his own squad and get a proper preseason into them then it's go again. Our CL qualifiers are in early August so we have the time.
  16. McLaughlin must be number 1 for us next season. I can still see shagger from the bench shaking his head at lots of absurd decisions.
  17. To be fair to Collum he was simply doing his job which was to make sure that Hearts won the cup. He failed so his masters will probably not appoint him again.
  18. Bassey and Alfredo are the two that I would be slapping a 'not for sale' sign on this summer.
  19. I would imagine that everybody on the playing side (including Gio) is going to take the next couple of weeks off. Time to rest and recharge the batteries. Gives the board time to come with a number to give Gio as his budget for next season. That number, of course will be flexible to take into account possible player sales.
  20. I take comfort from the fact that our B team skelped them last week. Too many regulars will be emotionally and physically drained from Wednesday. Team today has to be a blend of youth and experience. No interest in the score I just want to see us lift the cup.
  21. A bit harsh but it kind of makes my point which is that he is keeping an academy player out of the starting XI.
  22. I think that 40M+ is way over the top. They will have to win a game or two to even get 30M.
  23. If they want to make Jota and Carter-Vickers proper signings then then they are looking at the thick end of 20M to just stand still. Not a sustainable model.
