Was not that funny that it needed repeated.

Div Can you ask if the club have insurance to cover the players wages in the case of long term injury or do the players have to obtain their own cover ?

What business is that of yours?

Just because they play football, doesnt give you the right to know how well covered they are against injury

Thats all we need, signing players from the lower echelons of the English League ! When will folk realise this never works. they are off like a shot at the first offer.

It worked for Butcher at ICT, no?

I'm not necessarily advocating the approach, but you can't make a blanket statement such as that without substance.

To be fair, nobody has said nothing is getting done til end of June. What was said is that English contracts run to 30th June, so any deals from down South unlikely to be done til July. Also stated we are talking to several players and that there's loads going on.

Only Stevenson has knocked us back to the best of anyone's knowledge.

Surely not that difficult to read what's written without making wild assumptions?

. It's quite amusing trying to work out what some fans read between the lines when in fact it's really quite simple as you rightly pointed out.

We'll have offered what we can afford. We almost went out of business chasing a stupid dream, I really don't need to go through that again.

How much longer is the same tired old shite going to be trotted out as an excuse for not paying the going rate ? We can afford the same money Thistle will be paying him,just trying to get players on the cheap as per usual and losing out

It was the 2 year deal, with a years extension, that probably swung it for Thistle. bye1.gif

Anyway, what exactly did we, and Thistle offer, as I'm interested in how cheap we are? 1eye.gif

spittal to united

McGregor to Gers

Redmond to accies

Stevenson to Thistle

We have definitely got the drop on these teams, not one of them is signing keepers. They'll be sorry when they face our 11-man line between the sticks

All four of those clubs have at least one (first team) contracted goalkeeper already. (Cierzniak, Bell, McGovern, Fox)

I will,im sure TC will have some complete dross lined up to compensate for the loss of a very good player

You know what is hilarious, this forum takes great pleasure, quite rightly, pointing and laughing at teams who overspend and yet we live within our means and some half wits still don't get it. 1eye.gif

These "experts" know nothing abut the clubs finances and throw comments around like "tight" and "cheapskates" thinking the club should sign anybody no matter what the cost.

Isabella was right, some football supporters are stupid.

And no doubt not wanting to pay players wages for the next few weeks so holding off which in turn means we lose out on the better players. Just like we never have home friendlies since we'd need to pay stewards etc etc

Cheapskates, that sums the club up!

The picture accompanying the article below would suggest that, as is typical, Tommy Docherty is relaying the pitch for the start of next season. Might this account for the absence of home friendly matches?

"we live within our means" can be used at anytime by anyone to justify almost anything.We are not talking about a world beater here , a good seasoned pro who would have been a superb signing and offset the loss of mcgowan ,and been on less money,oh wait apparently hes on 8k a week with thistle.

Stevenson has now knocked us back 3 times now.

I don't think it's the money in his case

We are careful with our spending therefore we will not die.
