Shuggy07 5 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Cant believe we couldnt find 400K pound for him when we had the chance. Have it on good authority that wee scott had agreed with smith to sign for rangers but murray wouldnt pay the 400K? Scott was in Aus sayintg that he was going to rangers and the inevitable phone call came by smith to scotty to say that Murray would not sanction it ! To say at the time Scot was gutted is an understatement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 9 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Our financial management has been appalling for about 8 years now. Refusing to stump up an extra 50k for Riorden (thankfully), then not going to 500k for Gow. Same with McDonald. Yet happy to splash out 3.5M on Lafferty. I don't get it.

barrymorrison1 1,033 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 i suspected that. knew he would have preffered the tims, but remember mo malpas on radio saying mcdonald was inconsolable at the time, as he thought his big move was not going to happen. 4 weeks later, tims come in on pre contract, and the rest is history as they say my son.

ScotBear 144 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 He's been great value for them, and would have been a great squad option for us......and probably a first choice starter at this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggy07 5 Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Who cares? He signed for them. End of. either way yuo look at it, had we signed Brown, McDonald, robson when we had the chance and were heavily linked with them at the time they were available, where would we be now (where wopuld they be?)? Instead we brought back Barry (finished) instead of Brown, Lafferty instead of robson, and Miller, (although I actually think he has done ok), Velicka, JCD, instead of McDonald(top goalscorer last year, sores in massive games for them). weakned them and strenthened us????Go figure.
