  1. The FA will not sign a work permit off for him and its even harder after brexit to get one on appeal.
  2. Joey Barton has unfinished business and out coffee maker.
  3. It was a fee of up to so the majority would have been milestone/success based
  4. If it’s 25% it could well be some of the shareholders who where frozen out along with Far East and Maybe King selling. They will not have a controlling interest but they might get want to get rid of Robertson which is no bad thing.
  5. You just know Gio will go for the usual suspects and we will win by 3 or 4. However we could easily rest a good few of them and still win by 3 or 4.
  6. Was going to say he will end up at a championship club but Tom Lawrence has played at that level most of his career and showed more in the short time he has been here than Kent has this season. Cannot excuse his lack of application when it comes to tracking back but that's up to the manager to sort out. However our wingers always seem to struggle for confidence/form I wonder if that is in part due to the pedestrian speed that we play at for large parts of the game. When I think back to some of the chances he has had or created in Europe its normally when we are really going for it.
  7. Just realised the bench is going to be really bare…..would struggle to think of 5 guys you would want to come on and change a game
  8. I know someone that was sacked for posting on Facebook that her job was boring or shite. A lot of companies will have contracts with social media clauses that the employ can not act in a way that reflects poorly on their employer. there was a female solicitor that worked for a firm in Glasgow that was canned for something she posted about us a few years ago.
  9. Fan anger maybe as fan opinion includes things like the price of tickets is ripping the arse and they don't care. When the anger builds to a certain amount and they start thinking of their own jobs/revenue streams they will then lower the drawbridge and send out Gio or Wilson to appease us. It will then go back to normal when the real problems are in the boardroom. If you keep talking about building a player trading model why do we have some of the best assets coming to the end of their deals, why do we have so many old players getting contract extensions, why did we sign Soutar when he has a history of injuries, why do we have so few sellable assets.
  10. Safe standing, disabled toilets and the quality of the pies will be the kind of questions asked. Nothing will be asked around shortcomings.
  11. In fairness if its a Sunday the hearts ones where probably not in so he could have easily be getting some work to ease tiredness from the game the prev day
  12. Ross WIlson is a useful patsy but at the end of the day its the board that sanction the signing policy and in the past have turned down deals or simply priced players out of it. Colak is 29 and never managed to make it into the Nations league squad so he's unlikely to feature anytime soon unless there is a lot of injuries. Accounts will be full of backslapping and low on detail.
  13. Player trading is simply not the amount that has been reported on transfer fees. In extending contracts of Davis, Arfield, McGregor and Goldson we have probably spent a few million on signing bonuses and agents fees. Lawrence whilst on a free has probably got a 7 figure signing bonus. Also whilst we have finally sold some players for decent money I am struggling to think where the next significant transfer fees are going to come from.
  14. We will win this 4 or 5 nil and all will be well for a while. Hopefully 16 players get a good run out so the manage (and us) can see whos' up for it
  15. Condolences to Ally and his family. hope the guys can give him a good score and bring a little joy to him.
  16. Rest easy your Majesty Your service to the country was unrivalled
  17. Wilson is however he is not the person that signs the checks. For years now since Pedro the board have been talking of developing players to sell and until this season this has not happened. Even now when you look at the squad you would struggle to see where the next major sale is coming from. They are the ones sanctioning extending contracts for the likes of Davis etc rather than saying to the manger we either need to replace or promote our youth. Ever since Robertson said "20 million minimum" for Morelos his hands have been tied. Unless we get a manager in after GIO who wants to control the signings and actually believes in developing players we will keep on signing players 26/27/28 with little or no resale value simply because the next manager wants results.
  18. Not worried about this game and at worst expect a draw. We are a different beast in Europe
  19. It’s the best 16 we should be looking at in the league and making greater use of subs. Take Colak/Morelos we are not going to play them at the same time but on form we should be telling Colak you have 60/70 mins to give it your all before Morelos gets a 20-30 min run out. Same with othe positions rather than trying to find the best starting 11
  20. We should start introducing him in the league at 60 or 70 minutes in most games if Barisic keeps his form. That way he gets game time and it keeps Borna on his toes.
  21. But we have been talking about a player trading model for years so we should be looking for a 20m plus sale at least every other year. This coupled with regular UCL participation should mean 100m can be achieved not every year but maybe 1 in 3 at least.
  22. You really don't want your next match to be against Man City.....think he will get a pass for that game. It then comes down to game against Leicester....whoever loses probably gets binned
  23. Morelos has always taken time to get up to speed which was why he was getting cameo's. It could well be that they where annoyed at him because it was again taking time for him to get sharp compared to other players. His sending off obviously brought some conversation out which did not go on his favour so gio is thinking enough is enough the now. It may be getting used as they know he would not be any use given his fitness right now but dropping him like that might spur him on to actually get fit
  24. Its a soft red I think in people's eyes as He has not connected with him well
  25. PSV came third in their group last year in the Europa League and then got to the QFs of the conference. Yes we might struggle in the groups against a lot of teams in the UCL however we should not fear PSV. Plenty of times we have went away in Europe on a poor run of form and dug a result out.
