Shankland, if I remember correctly, went to our fragrant neighbours and stank the place out[emoji1]. Walsh will be plying his trade in lower leagues this year. Hardie may however get his chance in the top league. Yes, Jack made mistakes in the transfer market the same as every manager, but by and large he's had more successes than failures . You mention that the McAllister money funded this. To me a manager who can revolutionise a team with the money made from selling a player who had made 17 appearances has something about them. He's not Alex Ferguson but then who is? He is however an excellent manager. You say that it took a hell of a long time to get to the point of us winning games. This was his first transfer window, the shambles he inherited being down to the previous 2 managers.
