That's the really frustrating thing. Not only have we got a lethargic, underperforming squad, we've also lost millions in transfer fees because Wilson lacked the vision to act when he should have (after 55). At their peak you could conservatively say £13M for Morelos, £10M for Kent, £9M for Kamara, £5M for Barisic, etc. No wonder we're scrabbling for bosmans when we've got those kinds of holes in our wallet.

Spending the budget we do have in the English market just seems naïve to me. Everything's so inflated, we ended up paying ~£4M for Davies, who's been no better than Balogun. 

Probably McGregor again if he’s retiring, or maybe Arfield if he’s moving on. 

Suspect it will be Tav POY and Tillman YPOY.
Shld be Tillman for both. Which would send a message at least that a kid at 20 from another country is the only one that can hold his head up. But we don't do hard truths so would expect the above.
Fuck knows on the John Greig Award, be as well giving it to a long running member of staff at the club, rather than one of the players this year.

Some laugh spending millions of our transfer budget on a new left back and still going into this game yet again with that position being targeted.

Tbf Yilmaz has been unlucky with injuries 

Sums up our club 'leadership' culture
"not as broken as people think"
"ross is doing a brilliant job"
Rather than face up and own failure and make big decisions to shake things up, we drink our own kool aid and protect/promote those already in power.  As if we are in denial at times. This was an opportunity to shake things up, and for one of the most important roles at the club we have turned to someone who has already proven himself to have questionable judgement in the context of a football club, and whilst he might have good background sponsorship/commercial chops, its hard to believe its a 'best in class appointment' for CEO of a club our size.

Sorry for your loss mate
 

Need a bit of dig as well as footballing skill for the Scottish game. Doesn’t have to be British, but would like a nastier streak in them. We’re far too nice right now. 

Scouts suspected he would easily pass a medical so didn't meet our signing criteria.

One team looks like they have the heart, desire and spirit to win a game of football here.
The other look like a bunch of passive silent passengers, passing the buck and hoping someone bails them out.

Amazes me that best in class Ross Wilson couldn't find Duk but Aberdeen did.

The sheep, with a vastly inferior budget and infrastructure, have managed to sign two players who have scored what, 18 goals did they say? For all the money and players we have brought in, when did we get forward players with those numbers (Colak early season form aside)?
Recruitment has been shambolic.

Can't finish and can't defend. A great combination.

I think it’s Cameron Archer (if Boro don’t go up). 
 
We were linked with him under Gerrard, Beale will have come up against him in the EFL, probably knows him from premier league u21s games as well back in the day. 

would think Dykes is just lazy journalism. With his history and Beale's.
Sounds to me like Beale has a pretty exciting striker from Champiosnhip or somewhere up his sleeve, clos eto being done. Hope so anyway, Dykes would be a squad option, but is absolutely not the goalscorer and mobile type of player we need to lead the line.

We went to South America, to literally a Catholic team, full of Catholics and signed a Jew
