Im not saying the board need to empty their pockets the time to do that was before the qualifiers so that ship has sailed. Im saying we need to play the game properly in terms of buy low and sell high. Then use the money from that to invest. We are attrocious at selling and getting value for players. No we don't need squad investment. It would be nice yes, but we have a squad of players more than capable of beating Motherwell, Aberdeen etc and winning the league. It's no easy to buy low and sell high or everyone would be doing it. We play in the Scottish League. Nobody buys big from here. And btw you don't think the recruitment of Sakala and Lundstram was speculating o accumulate? The Specky Forum Organiser 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we didnt qualify still you could say well we gave it our best shot and recoup some of the expendature will player sales. Instead we sat on our hands and stagnated. Thats not speculating to accumulate, thats high stakes gambling. Relying on player sales to dig us out a hole wouldve been extremely risky. We couldve had no interest in our players and if we did buying clubs wouldve had us over a barrel, effectively it wouldve been a fire sale and we would have surrendered the league there and then.

The theory behind Lundstram was bring in a premier League quality players on a free and sell him for a fee. I'm sure at the time you along with the rest of is thought it was some "shrewd business".

mclovin9091 1,388 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Long and short of it is, Had we not spent the money over the last couple of years they would have won 10IAR and we wouldn't be happy. This year we need to win the league to get CL football so we couldn't sell our best players from last year as we would have expected them to strengthen. We won't be happy not winning the league this year. jamess and jintybear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladytonbear 375 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 As others have said, the figures do make grim reading but I also feared that it could have been worse. Mr Park and his fellow shareholders who have continually stepped up to the plate over the last few seasons are owed a massive thanks from us. I get it that we have to develop a selling strategy but I also believe the board were in a real no win situation this year. Even in good (financial) times the team needs to be refreshed which involves moving players on and bringing in fresh blood. Given those accounts the best we could have hoped for was selling our best assets and replacing them with less expensive “prospects” - and our record in doing that in the last few years is very poor- I would say that less than half the “prospects” we have signed have actually improved the first team. ( That’s me being generous as well!) Can you imagine the uproar if we had dismantled the team that did so well last season by selling those mentioned above, brought in some cheaper players, and still got horsed out of the CL?

Financially obviously not. Should have been sold, more so when players are at their highest value. Morelos another. Who bid for Goldson that we knock back money from....just out of interest? We can't sell a player without an interested buyer....that's how transfers work Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
