No it wont,it will only work if the current amateur set up is dumped and they get competent professional people in place with the skill and ability to make the WS work, improved communications, recruirment etc, etc. Only then will they have a chance to meet their targets and end up running the club.

The prices are cheap because thats about the most they could charge people to go to that shite hole of a stadium, lower league prices for a lower league standard club

keep the faith guys "The Rangers"are average at best we have nothing to fear from that mob bring it on, a great chance to slap them down early doors and set the tone for the season.

Wring your knickers out, if he turns out shite we punt him and sign somebody else. Footballers with a Guarantee of ability when signing aye right its Moore not Messi

It will allow all of the Celtic fans in the US to join with their compatriots in Scotland to mix and share stories about their longing for the "Ou Country" the displaced masses have to stick together.

The only sensible tactics should be the same as they have always been ie go out and win the game then the other team gets feck all points. All this extra points for pen shoot out wins stuff is bollocks.

That's the fundamental problem Dave, this is not some local camera club they are running / hoping to run it a top flight football club generating significant amounts of revenue, large numbers of members etc etc. We need experienced full time people in place to administer it on a professional basis, I have no doubt that there will be opportunities for the ordinary fans to help out in some form, but the core functions of the WS, i.e recruitment, managing the membership, communication, setting strategies etc need to be done professionally by people able to devote their full time to the job, if that means hiring people then that's what needs to happen, only then does it have a chance to grow and succeed.

Agree it sound like another half baked idea, so you win in 90 mins and get 3 points, or win after a pen shoot out and only get 2 points, WTF is that all about.

The Rangers won't be happy as 2nd seeds, but its a cert they will end up in our group,

Not a member and have no immediate plans to become one but that post pretty much sums up my thoughts as well. The concept of fan ownership was great to start with and still is but the WS so far has become a badly organised and managed shambles, no effective communication with current or potential members, no clear direction, amateurish at best administration. The whole thing needs relaunched on a more professional basis with people in charge that actually know what they are doing only then do they have a chance of keeping existing members onboard or attracting new ones.

This topic should probably be moved to general football but here is my view. I long for the day when Scottish football is rid of the blue and green bigot brothers for good we dont need either of them the other 40 clubs will find their own level and the game and country will be the better for it. For far too long the SFA, SPFL, media etc have pandered to both of them and every other club has suffered, i hope there is a Euro league, or whatever it is called set up and both of them get invited to join Scottish football will be the better for it. ok rant over

As the organising body of the club owners ie the fans would that not be a sensible plan to consider, i.e maximise the revenue potential for Fir Park etc. Or do you think that is beyond them

Installing a decent wifi set up throughout the whole ground is a must these days it will cost a few quid but people/businesses looking to hire the facilities expect it as standard. However the lack of it is another example of the amateurish way that the WS goes about its business.

He would be a better option in midfield than Lasley so he might be worth a punt i doubt we could afford him, but lets be honest he is not going to get a new deal on the stupid money he was on at Ibrox so he might fancy the wage cut.

Did you watch the game yesterday Leahy had the pish ripped out of him by McGenniss all game, i will keep Hammell for now thanks. Falkirk were rank rotten yesterday and from what i saw there was nobody in the team that would bring any benefit to Motherwell assuming they were available etc. It says a lot about the standard in the championship when McHugh is getting regular starts and scoring, we need to be looking further to try identify some hidden gems like Moult or Johnson.

ok then thats me told

no rain today only sunshine on Leith

its the SFA so no they wont Rangers will be feckin whinging arseholes about it as they got pumped so the SFA will pander to them as they always do and Hibs will get blamed

Lasley is done i would not even be offering him another year,we need to replace him and build for the future.As for Hammel if he stays fit he may have another season possibly 2 in him so it would make sense to offer him another deal

Do you really believe that guff even if Scottish clubs had millions to spend the quality players wont come anywhere near the Scottish premiership, if they have options elsewhere. Rodgers will soon wake up and realse that he wont have the millions he had at Swansea or Liverpool and will have to recruit on a budget like the rest of the league.

Lighten up ffs

you have Rangers on the list surely that should be 'The Rangers' for 31/5/15 and then we should have another entry for Rangers.

Give Brendan Rodgers a year until they dont make the CL group stage and that quote will apply to him

25 years ago today and I remember every detail about the build up and the match, after that the details are a bit of a blur until the Monday morning when I finally got home, happy days I hope its not another 25 year wait and I will be too old to enjoy it.
