Makes you wonder why we identified Kearney as a candidate.

We now need another Champions League winner to replace Kluivert in the running. Please not Edgar Davids.

From today's Record it looks like Kluivert is a non-starter but Guti is definitely interested.

So why respond?!? Seriously though would that be an acceptable solution.

If we kept the main stand and South stand we could give the OF the West stand and sell even more tickets. Presumably that would be ok?

Minus significant increase in police costs and income lost through reducing South stand season ticket prices. Also not every ticket will be £25 due to kids tickets.

Can any of the people in favour of giving OF fans the South stand explain the £100k+ figure? If you believe the decision is justified by the significant extra income then presumably you believe it. Lots of huge positives since the change of ownership but that doesn't mean there should be blind acceptance of everything.

Never realised that. Presumably the contractor pays us a fee to operate in the stadium and we can charge more based on a projected increase in sales? That said I wouldn't imagine any increase would be a huge sum of money

I used £25 as the maximum possible price to get over the magical £100k figure. I suppose there will be an increase in catering sales but I'm still struggling with the sums.

I'm sure someone on here will help me but I'm struggling with the supposed six figure sum we will get out of this. If we have three OF games that's 4500 tickets. £25 a ticket would be £112,500 but police costs will be significantly higher and reducing South stand season ticket prices will cut income. Potentially some fans won't renew tickets though guess this will be far fewer than the number that threaten not to. Top six might give 4 home OF games but I would be concerned if we are basing our budget on a top six finish when Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts are likely to take five out of six spots.

I'm delighted to pay a player to not play if the reason their not playing is cos Morgan, Smith and Reilly are banging the goals in. Rather that than having to rely on Duffy or someone else to come on and try and rescue a result for us every week.

No idea what the rumoured add ons will be but I assume there would be none if he had just signed a pre-contract.

Ryan is on £500 a week according to an Airdrie fan I know. Maybe £1300 is what he is looking for from Livvy

Music for people that don't like music

Billy might improve and turn out to be a good keeper. Then again he might turn out to be the next Scrimmy or Chris Smith. Samson is a safer bet just now but don't know what wage he'll be looking for. Also does he have his driving licence just now?

I think these stats are more down to the way we dominated games during this period than they are to do with the keeper's ability.

Danny Rogers that Falkirk have on loan from Aberdeen too

Clearly I'm in the minority but I'd be worried if Billy was our first choice keeper next season. He seemed to spill shots in every game, was weak at crosses and doesn't command his area. I sit behind the goals and can honestly say I didn't hear him shout once for the ball. I don't want to criticise any of the players when everyone is so positve but think we need better if we're going to push for the league next season

Obviously getting five years added to life without parole was too much for him

Centre mid is the last position we need to strengthen

Disappointed if the fee is correct but despite showing a lot of potential the reality is that Kyle has played a limited number of games for a team well adrift at the bottom of the second tier in Scotland. The size of fee is in part linked to our position. If Kyle was playing in the top flight we would get more but if we get relegated we'll get buttons - how many players in the bottom two tiers in Scotland ever go for any fee never mind a sizeable fee? Maybe the board are simply being pragmatic and taking the money whilst they can. I would love Kyle to stay and keep us up but can you imagine the meltdown if we get relegated and they let Kyle go for £50k

Agreed. Think the issue isn't we've let good players go for peanuts but that we haven't had players worth lots of money. How many that have left us in recent years have gone on to better things?

Hamilton only got 500k got James McArthur who had played about 170 games and went to a premier league club. Sell on clause was only 10% but paid off cos McArthur has proven himself down south. Could argue we got a better deal with McGinn with him being out of contract and the sell on clause apparently being 33%.

Stephen Kingsley and Jay Fulton have both been in the Swansea first team this season. Not sure how much Falkirk got for them but suspect it was nowhere near the going rate for a Premiership player. Would agree it is galling though when you see guys like Fyvie and Andreu go for big money then do nothing
