Who signed Kpekewa? Sorry I am still struggling to believe that any football team would field such a non-footballer let alone pay him money as well. Astonishing, astonishing indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were also after big Itchy who we will see tomorrow, (might have been Ross in for him originally) Miller, Tony Watt (allegedly) a raft of other proven goal scorers that we couldnt match wages on. And one or more Celtic loans. there is always a mad dash of bargains up to the final minute from agents who have stuck it out hoping for a better deal, only to have their bluff called. Usually fees involved though, and as our board believe we can compete in this league without giving the manager a transfer budget then we're probably screwed for bringing in a striker?

elvis Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 The people I feel sorry for are the ones who paid for a season ticket all that money thinking they were going to be watching a decent team instead they have got this utter dross someone has a lot to answer for if it was me I would be looking for a refund.

Naw... Stubbzo identifies them, then Tony & perhaps Stubbzo sound them out, then Tony signs them. If there was any player the board didnt want, then they wouldnt sign them! surely down the years at our club, and most others you've seen the fall out when a signing didnt work out, between the board blaming the manager, then the manager blaming the budget the board gave him, then the player blaming the manager, the manager blaming the player, then the fans blaming everyone?

Wendy Saintss Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Erm....yes. Surely the quality part is down to Stubbs if he is the manager. I'd have thought Fitzy's job was mainly to get them over the line, not to judge the quality. That's the manager's job surely?Erm.... yes. And which quality players that Stubbs identified has Fitzy failed to get over the line?And do we know all the reasons behind each failure?

Wendy Saintss Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 If nobody is to come in then it’s been a clusterf**k of a window. We’ve ended up with a squad weaker than the one that won promotion. Clusterf**k all round - from the manager, to recruitment and the board. Having lost Lewis Morgan, that was always going to be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have bought season tickets every year regardless of how good or bad we were. It's called supporting the team first and foremost. If the team are dross (and there have been more seasons where they have been than not) then we bear it out hoping the club will improve that or the next season. Some fans retain loyalty and buy a season ticket every year as the club is in their blood. They don't quit but, instead, tough it out. They don't go crying for their money back because the team are not successful AFTER 3 league games. It isn't going as some thought but the Board will take whatever action is required if things don't improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I'm curious about from the Sportscene highlights - there was a shot of AS in the dugout with head in hands. I was reminded of Tony Mowbray the night we beat Celtic 4-0 looking like he knew what was coming - and it did. I hoped AS might work out and it still might I suppose, but the apparent lack of fight from the team is a big concern and it looks to me like there has been some very frank discussion between board and management. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
