Always value your opinion Andy. I will always continue to bang the academy drum. I just thought maybe 1 leftfield signing would be an idea. I just feel our recruitment has went seriously downhill but hey get a result on Sunday and win in Israel and my tune will severely change..(might even start the corny jokes again)......just kiddin. COYW
I am going leftfield here considering I am mr youth academy but how about this. Now bear in mind we are debt free....sold DT.....got 750k minimum for europe run. Now we keep a safe amount in the account but why dont we try and sign Stevie Naismith? Hear me out.........yes he is 34 but too good for championship but still ambitions to play for Scotland and I think a great leader to have in dressing room. Could offer 2 yr deal with coaching position in youth academy after that. Again it is just my idea and you dont need to agree with it.....COYW
Fair do's ropy but even if they go on loan and play games would they get a chance when they return as it would pre season and more signings would be made pushing them down queue again. I know a lot wont agree with me and I value everyone's opinion but I feel the youth set up is a worrying concern and money should be invested into it.....COYW
Everyone knows my views regarding youth academy so I am saying nowt apart from young guys will never get experience if they are not given a chance. I wish crawford well and yes it's better than the english non league 5th division but really........
We have no debt , have got over 3 million for DT and made a minimum of 750k from this run but guaranteed Robbo will say he has no budget to sign new players...ba boom
Yep totally agree its giving them a platform but I wouldn't say it worked if we then get no return. And before folk start having a go I know it has worked ie. Louis....Johnson....Kipre and others. It is just my own opinion..COYW
Yep great example of when our business model doesn't work. Sign Randolph for nowt on 3yr deal.....Gillespie for nowt on 2 yr deal....see them honour full contract and we get hee haw money....brilliant
