elvis Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 When are Yous going to wise up it won't matter who we sign we are f**ked we are %100 going down and have been for months. I thought when Oran came in he might do a good job he has signed some good players but can't get them to play as a team and nothing has changed since Stubbs results wise I excepted relegation ages ago just hope it's not through play offs COUNTY OR DUNDEE UNITED Would hammer us as will be provin in the cup shortly.

Lord Pityme Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 The much hailed Money Bollocks recruitment strategy bombed on first contact with reality. We were told that loan players were not the way to go as they have little loyalty, or investment in the club. fast forward a whole three weeks and Gus is singing that old classice by Heart to Oran... "How Can I Get You A-Loan?'.... after two largely inept performances, and shipping six goals, ask yourself this! If a player we are in for, is part of a chain, and perhaps has options? Will he choose us over a team perhaps performing and sitting in better stead? any fool can slash a budget ( funny how the budget slashing deniers now accept we are slashing the budget), to then be able to do more, with less is a very difficult task that requires clear, simple but effective strategies. In Oran, i have to be honest, as much as i like him and how he comes across... I haven't seen him deploy one successful strategy, save perhaps for his first game, which he now states was against a team that wont define our season! he didnt say that in the post match interviews back then!

It's now looking like a low risk balancing of the books pre-relegation , rather than a genuine attempt to stay up ! I know I shouldn't be, but I, m okay with this, though I would like a couple of signings who are both experienced and have a bit of pace.

Mykey Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 If we're not getting Lewis back, maybe we're getting their new winger, Brenda says he's going straight out on loan, he's called Shved, if he's a right winger he'll be Shved 7.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Oran has said long term he wants to build a team of contracted players. He said unfortunately you are very limited in the January transfer window as most players go out of contract in the summer. So this window we have to look at loan deals to get the quality needed. We are not dead and down yet it is still in our own hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begs the question then, why go to all the expense of sacking, then paying off a management team, paying compo for new manager and giving him loads more budget to bring in free agents, as well as hiring a load of extra backroom wallahs?

We are not dead and down yet it is still in our own hands. This is the point many are missing. We can’t afford transfer fees for every player we want. So January is a matter of picking up released guys, or working out “deals” to help with the player’s pay off from his old club. The easiest way to get players is by loans. Should Kearney he manager in summer, he will have the best opportunity with an abundance of free agents to bring in. He doesn’t have that right now. Kearney has also stated we have signings lined up, but we are in the hands of other clubs waiting to get someone in first. People need to stop wetting their knickers over this. See where we are when the window shuts, then see where we are after a month. We didn’t get going with JR until the 25th Feb, his new signings needed a bit of time. It’s pointing shitting yourself when the window isn’t even shut yet. Get a f**king grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the best part is we do sign some random guy who turns out to be dreadful, so they can go from “I WANT UH SIGNING!” to “FFS JUST SIGNING ANYONE!”. Apologies if we haven’t signed Messi, C.Ronaldo, De Gea and De Bruyne. Some seem to think it’s really easy to bring in good quality players at no cost.

aldo_j Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Reading between the lines, I’m guessing they thought the fullback and one other (Smyth?) were done deals...and for whatever reason they’ve not got over the line. Tough to take, but can’t be helped in this window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that people tend to airbrush over it was JR who took us on a hellish run to the bottom of the championship we clung onto! It seems with Oran, for at least the first part its history repeating itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s truth in that, but IF we can get going we can win any fixture outside of trips to the bigotdomes, which if I’m right then we won’t encounter again this season once the Sevco fixture is done in the near future. We’ve had the odd random result (home to Green Bigots, away to Hibs, beating Hearts at home) and with a better team we could do more of that. The difference between JR’s season and this season is that the JR team were miles adrift - we are still in close proximity with Dundee and Accies. Outperform those two and it’s safety, JR’s squad needed top of the league form due to the massive gap that had opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap between the top and the bottom of the Championship is far, far narrower than in the Prem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
