To give you another view about the club, on top of what @Bud the Baker has already posted, CLEARLY giving you the financial position of the club. 1. Existing players which looks like lower term? Can you give some proof of this?  2. Sale of players, using McMenamin as an example who's hardly put together a full 90 decant minutes I'd suggest what ever we get is better than what we're paying him, and again, you're CHOOSING to believe it's a "small fee" when I'm assuming you don't know, strange. 3. Can't comment on admin staff as I have no proof so I'll leave that there. 4. New manager being chosen because he's cheap? Again, you have absolutely no knowledge this was the reason. 5. Taylor leaving for a club in a war zone? Brilliant take. FYI Maccabii are a very bog club, finished 3rd in the Israeli league and feature regularly in Europe, unlike St Mirren. I'd suggest it's an upgrade. 6. Yes, we've signed TWO players from lower leagues and you throe in Ramos as an afterthought. It's very early in the transfer window, I'd suggest people stay calm and keep their whining until the window is closed. You , again, come in with a comment about lower wages, interesting.  I'd add we have an excellent board behind the scenes with Lasley being recognised as SPFL CEO of the year, not the bowling club types we've had in the past. This is also reflective when there's next to no "rumours" leaked from the club, something that was frankly embarrassing in years gone by.  Also we've resigned Declan John, I'm not sure he was on the cheap, I'll leave that to others to comment on.   

Apparently we're still in it with a 0.42% chance of progressing!  Scotland need Algeria to lose by two or more goals and Austria to be beaten by at least four goals.

Iran still in it!
