Well yes , but I'd rather pay my monthly Smisa for no immediate return , than purchase an ST . My choice , so there !

Oh absolutely. But then you should have the decency to shut the f**k up about our struggle to sign better and by extension more expensive players.

Do you really need this explained to you?

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 am going to guess he is related to one of the players or someone at the club who likes to blab.

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.

You could be indeed Ricky, and you are, according to their last accounts.

We signed Thommo , Teale and Isma , amongst others , when I wasn’t an ST holder either. The club is more cash rich than it was then. It’s nothing to do with me , or anyone else , not buying an ST , it’s more to do with the unwillingness of the current BOD to part with their dosh . Which , of course , is a matter of choice for them too. [emoji9]

They may well be carrying debt, but that doesn't stop rich board members bank rolling them.

That interview was just shambolic. "At the moment I've got what I've got". There are many things he may have, unfortunately managerial ability doesn't appear to be one of them.

That seems like he wants Kenny in and Cammy Smith will be free to go

Indeed, which is a P45 move in itself, never mind all the other things that have gone wrong.

I work in social work so I'm used to shambolic management, I think Stubbs must have been on the same training course as some of my bosses.

Stubbs was inconclusive when asked whether Smith was free to leave.

He said: “I don’t know, no. At the moment, no. You know what football is like, anything can change. But as far as I am standing here now, what I have got is what I have got.

“If something happens over the weekend or next week and we feel as if it’s for the benefit of the football club and makes us stronger, then it might be something that we look at.”

This is really concerning. Considering letting Smith go seems absolutely bonkers with the squad we have at the moment.
I’ve completely lost faith in Stubbs now. The thought of what state the players heads are in is a real worry. I know it’s only rumours, but you wouldn’t be surprised if he has completely lost the changing room.

Besiktas is a seriously big but underperformibg team in Istanbul. .a city area of up to 17 Millom people. By the way, they play in Black and White. I have one of their scarves which was given to me as a gift when I attended a game there.

The silence on this thread is worryingly deafening.

Booooooooooooooo!

Willo Flood was in the Main Stand on Saturday...........just saying like !!!!

[Sweeper07]

Rumour Falkirk want Stubbs and his team to take over from Hartley who they have just sacked and are willing to take them for as little as £150,000  (I wish)

 

Are we trying to pinch Osman Sow from under Hearts noses? Aye they have bigger budgets but he would be in our 1st 11 every week if fit......

Much better option than Miller or Stewart or naebuddy….

I was over that way and didn't see him.

He must have had his magic ring on at the time.

I can still see us getting Johnston on loan from Celtic as he won't be a first team regular for them, Miller signing due to Stubbs pursuit of him but I'd really like to see us sign an experienced centre half, someone with 200-300 first team appearances behind them.

I hear Gary Kenneth is available.

I would like us to go for Mark Sykes of Glenavon

He doesn’t fit the Stubbs criteria as he’s not an English jobber plying his trade in the fifth tier non league.

He was a very promising youngster.

You'll be disturbed to know that I agree with you.
