Guest TPAFKATS Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Any chance we could borrow that tanker the Russians used to block the sea route near Crimea? Might be useful in a few games. Anyway.. Jimmy will bring a steadfast approach to defending.Steadfast or Staunch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TPAFKATS Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yes, and we have probably still have less back-room staff than other teams around us. Accies for example employ 2 x physios and 2 x sports scientists. We have 1 of each. Given the state of accies pitch, I can understand why.

I just don't constantly employ smilies to augment my point, which is the fact we are trying to improve the playing staff from a relatively negative position so I would think, due to priorities, any funds should be diverted in that direction. Would you not think due to the car crash that was our summer recruitment, a change in tactic might be a good thing in hiring someone to try make sure we don’t sign a bunch of duds again? On top of that, how anyone can be critical about OK bringing in one staff member, I’m not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, though Jack had requested additional coaching staff going into this season before he left. Whether Gus' role was thought of back then too or was created off the back of Stubbs' disaster period i am unsure, though it would probably make more sense it was due to the latter with his transfer dealings.

OK is entitled to bring in whoever we can afford but I just wonder if we can AND bring in the quality of player we need. We have a technical director as the "change in tactics" to ensure better signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to him rightly going into our HOF due to his great service to SMFC. I know we have moved on. Most Clubs were part time around 50 years ago. Dunfermline, Kilmarnock, Dundee, Hibs etc were doing well in European Competitions. Salaries for full time players were similar to the average working man, maybe slightly over. Gate prices were decent for everybody. Edited November 30, 2018 by shull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
