You do realise our season ended about 50 days ago? To put into perspective there’s 18 days to go til the season starts and 46 days until the window closes

I think this is one for the AGM. We were lead to believe he was coming in to prevent what happened when JR left, we appointed Stubbs and he was starting to get players in cold. But here we are at the first time he’s really required to see that through and we look like we are stumbling about. I genuinely cannot believe how light on the ground we are with 2 and a bit weeks to go til the season starts and about the same since pre season started, is there another team in the league in the same state? Motherwell, Livingston and Accies have made plenty of signings. St Johnstone, Ross County and Killie haven’t but they didn’t need to arguably due to not losing too many players. All the teams that will be around us and we are miles away from the squad being sorted Real questions need to be asked of what Gus is doing

DJ was it you Div that tweeted it from the B&W account?

Anyone explain what Stephen McGinn was doing at that 3rd goal?

Gary MacKenzie is really struggling, towing a caravan, and erahon not good enough at left back and that’s exposing GMac even more

St Johnstone have the boy Tanser at left back who is their first choice, maybe they were only willing to pay him as a back up option. Or due to Liam Gordon getting an injury maybe the money they had aside for a left back needs to go on a centre half now. Loads of ways we could get him in but they couldn’t I’m sure with all your inside info you would have known that though [emoji90]

Team line up with trialists named

Think that's a bit harsh At Aberdeen he's been papped out on the left side and not played as an out and out striker like he was at St Johnstone Even though his goal record has been poor at Aberdeen he's still offered plenty of graft I suspect this is his agent trying to get some interest but I would take him in a flash

Accies fan in work loves him. Said it took him a while to get up to speed last season but once fully fit he was quality, best as the most advanced central midfielder and can pick a pass as well as score some screamers. Good addition for me We now have Magennis Mcginn Flynn Tansey MacPherson Erahon Andreu That can all play central, that’s plenty Gus!

Coleraine to announce their new manager at 6pm today..... edited to add, STV reporting the coleraine chairman has said they are close to appointing Kearney

Week? your being kind This has went on for about a year, vague predictions that could mean anything....absolutely tedious

Craig Samson and Ross Stewart.....last season ...... Sorry Oaksoft, couldn’t resist

The rumours started on Friday! Should have been dealt with long before now

Would you hand yours back?

Very little would have renewed based on OK being the manager I’ve renewed though Tommy Craig, Alex Rae, Iain Murray, never has who has been the manager influenced whether I would buy a season ticket or not. Had OK left right after the playoff and been replaced by Jim Goodwin I would argue that Seasons Ticket sales would have been exactly the same as they have been to date

Coleraine drew with Formartine united of the HIGHLAND league and only beat them on pens in the challenge cup this year Crusaders got beat by Queens who finished 2nd bottom of the championship

Think someone needs to have a word with Alan Wardrop after this. He retweeted a journalist saying a statement is imminent about Orans departure, commenting on players about to be signed. Think he enjoys the attention, needs to start acting like a director and not someone playing the role. Makes us, and him, look amateur.

Despite making a dogs dinner of his point, I think the bit you highlighted is from a twitter post from a guy called Gary Peebles made on the 14th May and not IoBS view, unless of course he is Gary Peebles (whoever that is!)

Another rumour from twitter.... Oran wants to go back to Coleraine and teaching job but also wants a pay off. There’s a bit more too it but I can’t remember but that is the jist Hopefully all resolved tomorrow regardless

Alan Wardrop on twitter saying 2 signings are close!

If OK does go they need to move for someone quickly, no messing about getting CVs in, go out and get who you want to get. Scott cant let a manager go 2 or 3 days before pre season starts (with no assistant manager in place, or new signings made) and then take 3 or 4 weeks to appoint his replacement The rumours of him going have been swirling for over a month now

I can easily believe this, more so than any fall outs over budgets which you would imagine the discussions would have been held previously. If this is a case of GLS spitting the dummy and getting rid of a popular manager then he will need to be careful that fans don't start to turn especially if we have a poor start to the season (which looking at the fixtures isn't too hard to believe could happen) Obviously its all guesswork at this stage but your right, 3 sackings in 3 years (2 very early in a season and one potentially after securing survival in the top league) doesn't look good on GLS

I genuinely hadn’t heard this I just assumed the issue would be his commuting arrangements

There’s now an online article from the sun but doesn’t add much to that one liner in the gossip. Either way it needs to be resolved ASAP, if Kearney stays then fantastic if there’s any doubts from either side we need to move on. There’s a fair bit of a squad rebuild to happen and with players back on Monday we can’t be pissing about. I know the sun is an absolute rag but they aren’t too bad with saints news
