My opinion of McLeish is he got the best out of the squad he inherited. But when it came to bringing in his own players he fucked it right up. Given that we don't have the funds for massive spending, and therefor need to get the best out of what we've got I'd seriously consider McLeish.

Not sure about gambling on Europe. Firstly I'm not convinced we'll be allowed to compete. But even if we do I really can't see us getting through 4 ties before the group stages. So I don't see a massive amount of additional revenue. The main thing Europe will do is convince some unhappy Bears to renew STs But if King doesn't put in some money soon, then I think it'll take more than a few games against FC Whothefukryu, to get all the fans to cough up again

We have 3 options as I see it. 1 Do nothing 2 Change the players 3 Change the manager Option one is probably what will happen. Option two is beyond our resources Option three is what we should go for

Doh..

Ok I'll come clean I lose sleep at night worrying that I might get sober. I made up the falling bit.

On a serious note. I hope he's been cleared for flying, if that's how he 's getting home. I'm sure I read that cabin presure can have an effect on head injuries. Hopefully he'll make people aware before getting on the flight

That's the spirit. If you'll pardon the pun.

That's the vallue of alcohol. I've had a few bad falls - although not as serious as that looked- when steaming and just bounced off of the stairs, pavement etc. But sober? Every fall has taken it's toll. Sprained ankle, broken wrist, stiches in the napper, etc etc. So I never worry about falling over with a drink in me. But I lose sleep at night thinking I might fall over when sober. Although I counter that by not being sober too often

They might have PLEDGED a few sheckles, in the same way as King PLEDGED £30m

I seem to remember quite a few endorsing King as somebody who could be trusted with OUR money, but they didn't put any of their OWN money in

Level 5 ?

Not financialy as far as I know.

If we had a more trustworthy chairman, they might well do that, but they're not going to give money to King

Exactly, so let's hoist him by his own petard. One of the reasons he got in, was the fans boycott. So let's make it clear to him, that if he doesn't pony up, we won't either.

Does a valid question lose it's vallue because the questioner is deemed worthless. Not in my opinion. We need to be told the truth and I don't care who prompts that. What about "Sons of Struth demand the truth". Well demand away guys, or are you too busy printing "Leipzig T shirts" ?

I have no love for the Scottish Media, but I think they would be doing us a greater dis-service if the didn't raise pertinent questions. It is obvious that there will be no investment under King, unless it comes from King. He needs to start pissing, or move away from the urinal.

We have a chairman who is a convicted fraudster. Who has been described as a "glib and shameless liar" And you're worried that the media might scare off investors ?

Get an early goal in the second leg and we're right back in this. Oops getting ahead of my self

"Given investment". That's the key and we need to KNOW if King is going to do it. It SEEMS obvious that he isn't, but he needs to make it clear one way or another. A lot of people are saying "there's nobody else". That's crap. Vacuums don't exist outside of controlled environments. If the current board are ousted others will fill the void. The question is will they be better or worse. Well unless King delivers in the next two weeks I'm prepared to take the gamble. King needs to pony up, or get on the pony and fuck off.

You can say that again. Oh you just did

The problem is we're not challenging them. Last season the won by 15 points I'm not sure how far ahead they were in Jan but I'll bet it was a lot less than 19 going on 22 points. Far from being competition to them we are competition to the teams chasing them. Now I accept it's early days and we need to build, but what's going to make us more credible challengers next season? There's nothing that I can see. So King needs to tell us what he sees

I agree with him to an extent. It seems obvious that King isn't going to pump £30m into the club. At best it will be more loans. So he needs to just be honest with us. What exactly is his game. Is he hopping that res 11 will eventualy be passed, is he hoping that we'll be able to punt a few players for large fees? At present our income doesn't cover costs. I don't see how we can reduce costs further without going backwards on the pitch. I don't see how we can increase revenue at a greater rate than costs even with Europa football. So King should just tell us what his plan is. If - as it seems to be- it's a case of hoping something will turn up, then he should at least say so.

Cert to happen now

Shops in the main station should be open

What if the bombers were bomber Jackson and bomber Brown. Sing loud sing high. Fuck the shitebags
