GTMLivo 149 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 So the end of the season is close we've been promoted and can start looking at signing new players ready for the SPL. However when are some of the big wage earners contracts up? I'm speaking about Templeton Clark Shiels Bell all the deadwood we no longer need. And for some never needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Clark, Shiels, Law and Templeton's all expire this summer. Bell's expires next summer. We will be saving a fortune! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I would keep none of them, we need to be buying first team players as well, not squad players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. We need to improve the overall quality of the squad and guys like Tenpleton, Clark & Shiels aren't going to cut it at the top level. Hopefully we can get rid of Bell too, but if not I would take the hit and just pay him off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Temps contract expires 31st aug 2016, Clarks the day after, Shiels the 31st July. Bell signed a 4 year deal in May 2013 Should save a few bob and release money for good players. As has been stated we dont need bloated squad players - MW likes a tight squad so we really need 1st team standard so i expect a few Bosmans as signing fees are still an issue - but hopefully the money freed can attract a few good ones.

ThatNightInFlorence 696 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Bell is contracted until 2017 so hopefully we can find a club who will take him off our hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templeton's and Clark's won't expire as late as the end of August. It'll be either after the final game or no later than July 1st. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal return has been poor and id expect it to be worse in the SpL. I think he is good professional but not sure he's the type of player we should be keeping if we want to improve our squad.

KeyserSoze 14,654 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Keep none of them. They can't cut it now they won't cut it next season. Bell needs to stay until his contract is up as we need a squad keeper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Our budget should be spent on guys good enough to start every game and win us the SPFL title. If we need squad players we should be promoting youth or getting in short-term loans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The agent John Viola has tweeted a pic of Ibrox front door stating he's there for business today? Represent any of the above? Or someone new? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser1041 9,088 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The only one I would have kept would have been sheils but we need to be fair to the boy.he won't get games and it would be better for him to leave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMax399 3,798 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'm pretty sure that only those who have actually proved their worth will be rewarded with a contract by Mr W. Which will spell the end for Templeton and Clark as a minimum. Possibly Law, Bell and Shiels as well who I think are at contract end but not entirely sure.
