In fact, I hope all of the supporters attending, who are in a position to do so, do just that. A small gesture. More of a sticking plaster than a solution but worthwhile IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Any speculation out there about potential movement of players coming in or going out? Transfer window closes next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrie82 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Can I ask how jj seems to know so much ? Who is going to buy shankland? Is Stubbs actually getting any additional cash cos it doesn’t look like it. Makes all the panicking over the McGinn money seem utterly pointless now. Glad we got the cash and well done to the old board. Sad that the other lads all left for a pittance tho considering their talent.

I don’t know anything really but it’s quite obvious killie outbid us for Stewart when we have been chasing him all summer. Shankland has no intention of coming back to us either.

norrie82 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Shankland would come back if we offered enough. Seems we’re content to be 10th after all . Always thought he silly top six chat was just that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergie only just kept us up after promotion. It's a big step up. 10th would be OK. Up to 7th might be possible. Recruitment isn't over yet so difficult to judge. Still think it will take 3 transfer windows to be able to judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 I think some of us are forgetting our place in the pecking order. Talk of signing players like Stewart and Allan is pie in the sky if they're on the level wages that have been quoted. Even with the "McGinn fund" the likes of Kilmarnock will always outbid us and are , whether we like it or not, a more attractive option. I won't even go into the lunacy of a £250K bid for any player. Maybe if we went in for Scott Allan at the close of the window and nobody else wanted him, the green bigots might give us a cut price loan as they try to offload him. Even then, only the fact that he likes working with Stubbs, would even allow us a sniff of a chance. I'm afraid that this is the level we're at.

I get the argument that Killie finished top 6 but don't get the financial argument. I could be wrong but they are still carrying debt.

True pod but I think it will take 3 to move us to challenge for the top 6. January will be key (I think we might keep some money aside for that ) so I take your point.

rabuddies Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 FTOF. I get the argument that Killie finished top 6 but don't get the financial argument. I could be wrong but they are still carrying debt.They were debt free at the end of May 2017 so any debt they might have will be for the season to May 2018 which was a good season for them. They won't publish their accounts till the end of the year so I think it's safe to assume that Billy Bowie has got them on a better footing. There is money in shifting shite after all!
