    If they're still paying me for a column (they are) there's no chance that there's anything wrong financially that would see the likes of Jackson out of a job. Believe it or not but not seeing a print copy of a newspaper and thinking it's a sign of their demise is a bit like thinking the cars are on their way out because you've no seen a Datsun Sunny in a while. The internet is a massive thing now and there is far more focus on that than there is print. Print limits your audience to where you have physical copies - 30 years ago few folk outside the UK will have seen a Record - now I get folk from literally all around the world reading my shit.

    Papers need to do about 10x the views online compared to print to balance out the difference in income per reader based on a survey done be Deloitte last year (£124 - print/£15 - digital) and looking at the circulation figures of papers then that would appear to be a piece of piss. The Record get around 125,000 paid print readers every day. Doing 1.25million clicks would be a piece of piss.

    Do you not mean they need 10 times the paid subscribers? They need 1.25 million paid subscriptions to match print sale income. To reach the readership income of 10 years ago they need 3.75 million. Thats not clicks, thats folk entering their card details.

    Seeing copies of Rhebels in the shop shelf and not in the pub at 5pm is a good sign.

    Because they don't have a homesick problem with the money they earn and  how is the transfer fee going to be paid back, that's another bill the fans will have to stump up if nobody wants to buy them for what we paid.

    From a business point of view we need to write off the losses and move on and that includes the Mexican duds instead of being held back by lame ducks.

    Sorry , it was the coop chap who made the fishong comment

    It was Valleta from Malta.

    Tbh I thought it was a bit shit at the time taking the piss out a poor team. 

    I would probably have found it funny if it was against celtic but poor old Valetta have done nothing to annoy us!

    I was there and thought it was disrespectful too as did a lot of the support.

    He's an excellent player but is being expected to do more due to the inconsistency of others around him I think.  On his day Arfield is a brilliant player.  Would love to see him and Dorrans fit and playing together as I think that and Jack sitting in front of the back 4 would brilliant.

    Maybe but we need another midfielder to be the ultimate playmaker.
