All on your own. Bravo

And? Be boring if everybody posted in the same style. Plenty understand the why’s and why not with no issue. Some choose to read who & what’s posted rather than what’s being said. Then you get those who are scrambling for relevance, of which there’s more than a few.

I’m glad you’ve got that off your chest. Dress it up how you like, I’m of a vintage where being referred to as ‘dude’ is just wrong & a differing viewpoint as talking ‘keech’? Deary me. Not once claimed to be ‘in the know’. Nothing regards squad budget or kit releases that isn’t available without scratching the surface. I’m not sure the link reported was a surprise given who represents the player? It’s what they’re paid to do. On credit for contributing - Alexander, Hammell & Kettlewell all gave similar opinion on the player to shareholders & the support in general. All wrong? Some come down for him in club choice? How so? Are you aware who has registered interest, offered contract(s)? Suggest you’ve answered your own question on both fronts in closing statement. Any additional salary will be a bonus.

A nonsense.

dude? keech? Honking patter. Nobody getting called out 😂 I know steelboy and we discussed offline straight after the post. Sorry if you didn’t get the memo. A touch parochial in the thinking that playing budgets in the 4th Tier are not above that of our own. Information is there to support. Dean Cornelius da? Think the biology part will count me out for that suggestion. But, batter in if it gets you likes. Only replied to the revisionism of some. Stats are there to disprove some theories.

Knew you’d be an expert on their finances 😂 Doesn’t hide the fact their playing budget exceeds that of our own by some distance.

Infinitely.

What’s he missing out on? Exposure at Ibrox, Darkhead & the city clubs’ aside… not a lot. It's a risk. Opportunity to progress, more moves come with more responsibility.

Nae bother. He could’ve done, but, the injury concern doesn’t fit the narrative. Players signs for the benefit of the club said no player, ever. Not me with the issue though. As I mentioned, it worked to our benefit. Perhaps reading what was said rather than who said it would help.

What’s happened is good and acceptable for good of our club? Expansive question. Lots of variables, nature of the subject and a system that means not everything would be good and acceptable to our club or have options not to be explored? Could as easily be the actions of the club that the player and his representatives think they would be better served exploring said options. Different way of doing things. Definitely, big difference in exploring options and throwing toys out of their pram to get their wish.

Discussed at length before, David Turnbull signed a deal for David Turnbull. The revisionism is disingenuous. It happened to work to the benefit of the club. Not every renewal does.

Think some need to reign in expectations… I’d wager not everybody leaving will be replaced

Bravo.

Whatever. No problem understanding our energetic midfielder is going to be much easier to replace than a 30 goal a season maverick. Bracketing him alongside McGinley, Carroll et all does the kid a disservice. On replacement, I’m far from convinced the budget and current contracted players give us the changes some on here are expecting.

Deary me, it’s a wonder you’re not on our recruitment team.

We get it as you’ve alluded to more than once. There’s not a player in our squad who isn’t infinitely replaceable. Up to those tasked with the job to develop our next batch better than pay the system lip service in my view. You’re right, it’s a wild guess. Easy to deduce from the article that he favours crossing borders for now over remaining at home.

That’s fair enough, some think he is given the interest. Doft my cap at the fact that he wants to further his career, obviously disappointed he’s leaving but wholeheartedly behind his decision for all the right reasons.

He was a first team regular under Kettlewell so that kinda negates your statement. Pointed out before, picked up a strain pre-split. Your closing gambit is a nonsense 😂

Imports 🙄

😂 Scrambling for relevance returns. It’s really not that difficult.

It’s not the lack of sponsor which may or may not delay unveiling…

He may well have the ear of some at the club. Plenty involved in academy and parents won’t entertain that thinking…

Time has told? Over 50 appearances in last 2 seasons. Been lucky enough to be in company hearing our recent managerial appointments give expert opinion that he’s got the attributes to progress.

Quite the take. Think most will trust Kettlewell’s judgement over yours right enough - he’s been open in his assessment too. This warming the bench you speak of, at least be factual - Slattery retained his position after securing a point at Kilmarnock, Kid reclaimed his place before picking up a knock pre-split, then got back in on full fitness.
