  1. It would be but we'd get by as we have done in the past................ Same as other teams manage to do..........
  2. It seems that none of our Scottish media chums on yon Twitter thing know how the share of TV revenue generated by the SPL is split between each club ? Can anyone on here enlighten me please ? Mr Spiers says............ Re SPL reform. Walter Smith's point is that Scottish football may die if Rangers + Celtic stay. He thinks it best for SPL if they leave. And then contradicts himself with this. The Old Firm are certainly a 'gravy train' in terms of Sky or ESPN. Put it this way: without them, TV is not interested in SPL. No mention of the % of TV revenue shared between each club. Derek Rae is at least honest........... Sorry. Don't have any answers. Also asked him the following question, Big two get extra money on their travels via TV, others suffer lower attendances as a result. How many live games per season in Glasgow ? His answer was 8. Whilst Richard Wilson (Herald) agrees............ True, but then smaller TV audience when Ibrox/Celtic Park is full. TV is income, so it has an influence. Otherwise, 16-team SPL He also goes on to say about 16/18 team league............. Like everyone in football, but TV want four Old Firm & Edinburgh derbies, hence 10-team league. W/out TV income, clubs bankrupt. No mention of the % of TV revenue shared between each club right enough.
  3. Agree. Would also help out with the atmosphere. Too many driving to matches these days and sitting on their hauns.
  4. I agree that we've got some decent talent at the moment. We were chatting about this over the weekend & I made the point that Broon (in my opinion) has held us back in terms of player development. He was looking to sign David McNamee (30 years old) for christ sakes. Guys like Ross Forbes, Jonathan Page, Robert McHugh, ect ect have all lost out as far as I'm concerned by being denied game time.
  5. If that's the case, It'll be 'FC Dossers of Motherwell' for me then. No if's, No buts.........
  6. 100% Correct. Some of the SFL teams have an equal (or larger) fanbase than ourselves.
  7. Lennon sticks his oar in as well. Clicky
  8. Sorted that for you mate.
  9. 1'st point. McGhee was tactically naive as well when it came to the crunch. Boyle has done well in his last few appointments, no doubt about that whatsoever (coming from a massive, massive critic) Issue for me is, We, as a club and a support need 'Galvanised' big time just now.......... Last guy who done that was big Butcher. All for one and one for all. For me (anyway) 'Yogi' 'might' be the man given his previous work with youths, budgets ect. Scottish Cup final at Falkirk ? Europe ect. Stability is the only way forward for me (IMO) at the moment. Pick an ambitious' guy by all means, just make sure he stays a couple of seasons............
  10. 'Main' thing for me mate is someone who is going to stabilise the club and (hopefully) move us forward at the same time. Don't care if I like them or not to be honest.
  11. Calderwood needs money to build bud. We've none....... I know you like your stats (check them out)
  12. I like Yogi anyway. For what it's worth I think he'd do a decent job at a club like ours especially in regards to bringing through young players and trying to play fitba in the correct manner. He's also used to working with a limited budget (Falkirk) & seems a fairly loyal kind of guy which we as a club are crying out for at the moment. The next manager 'NEEDS' to bring a bit of stability to the Ark. Press conferences would be top notch as well. That said, I don't think he'll get the job.
  13. Good thread this. Wish there were another few thousand like you guys, who've seen the light.
  14. Funny thing is, Most 'Dossers' I know were fully behind his 'alleged' long term plans for the club.
  15. Had a laugh at that mate. He 'even' mentioned Jim Gannon.
  16. Boyle defends Jennings. Click Here
  17. Correct. Utter pish in my opinion. Clicky
  18. Use Firefox. I don't see any adverts on the forum.
  19. No thanks. Butchers time has been and gone.
