Is it just me that would rather play for less money, but play for a first team every week?
He looked like a great player in the making for us, but then patched all that and moved to a team where the chances of a starting place in the first XI are between slim and fuck all.
While he has to take some responsibility, when you are that age you depend on good advice from your agent and your family. I think it's fair to say he was badly advised in this case.
-
No sign of mine either now that you mention it.
In fact, no sign of anything other than the letter I got about 3 weeks ago. Anybody recieved anything else yet?
I'm still waiting.

Or replace caley with any number of teams in the First Division who manage to run a business without the buns money and still survive (Obviously not including Dundee or Livi in that!). Although they are both examples of what happens when you try to rise above what should be a level playing field.....
I'm not disagreeing, and think we would have a viable league without them. Unfortunately, the Chairmen of most of the 'lesser' teams don't see it like that.

Thing that gets me about El Tel's comments is that ICT have recently suffered relegation and managed to survive without the TV and Rangers dough. They even went on that spectacular away run which lasted well into their 1st season back in the SPL.
Another bit of proof that we do not need Rangers in the SPL to survive.
Of course, their counter argument will be the Rangers dough gave them sufficient funds to survive relegation.

Champions League sleeve badges:
We are waiting on final approval on this one. The first advice we got from the Official Supplier was that they could not supply us until we reached the group stages. This meant that we couldn't wear the sleeve badges or the "respect" logo.
I made further enquiries and it appears that this is the case in the Europa league but not in the Champions League so the latest info I have is that we can wear them. I am just waiting on official clarification so we can place our order.
Please note: The "Respect" logo is changing from last season so even if you find a shop that stocks them just now, it won't be the same as the ones that go on this years players shirts.
As soon as I get Official clearance I will let you know both the pricing and delivery dates on here.
Bet you never thought you'd see the day when you'd have to worry about Champions League regulations!

From today's Times.
Midfield stalwarts Keith Lasley and Steven Jennings, left-back Stevie Hammell, stopper Tim Clancy and reserve keeper Lee Hollis have all been offered new two-year deals.However, squad player Ross Forbes will be released along with several of the club's young reserve players, including strike prospect Gary Smith.
-
Starting to think that the SPL and Clubs all know that the buns are fecked and keep delaying any votes so that they dont have to show their cards in public, knowing how bad the backlash from fans will be!
Basically, we are all just waiting on them being liquidated and nature taking it's course and in the history books it will go down as a Third Lanark/Lehman Brothers type event......it could never happen etc....
And then they'll buy Ross County (you heard it here first).

SPL chairmen are to hold an emergency pants shitting meeting at Hampden park tomorrow according to the latest report on Sky Sport News.
Been much simpler if they had just relegated them already.
-
Is that a legit quote? He seriously walked away from a multi-million pound business deal because some punters called him a Yank and told him to go home?
Link up on the Beeb now shows fans with 2 banners:
"TRUCK OFF MILLER - YANKS NO THANKS"
and
"MILLER TIME - NO THANKS TO ASSET STRIPPING YANKS"
But it sounds more likely he was scared off when he finally had access to the accounts.

in 2001/02 st johnstone were relegated with a squad that they could afford. we stayed up with a squad of players who's contracts we decided not to honour. not much integrity there.
Only if we knew we couldn't honour the contracts when we agreed to them. Otehrwise, it was just poor business judgement.
Rangers, on the other hand, knowingly cheated.
-
All the players are being told today who are being offered new contracts or not.
Some of the players being offered 1st div wages at most. Mass exodus coming soon me thinks.
Mass exodus, signing panic on the forums - is it summer already?
The cold facts of the current climate are that clubs are cutting budgets and there are more players than there are clubs. I'm sure whatever happens by the time we kick off our (brief) Champions League campaign, we will still have a decent team to put on the pitch.

Probably, given that London is marginally less of a shit-hole than Blackpool is.
Aye, but he's not going on his holidays, he's trying to improve his career. And at Blackpool he could stay beside all the rich footballers in Southport or Lytham.
-
I just a born cynic
-
First things first. I'm just waiting to hear official confirmation we are actually in the Champions League.
-
Are they?
Yes. Go back and read the threads over the last few weeks. Many of the posters are saying that he SPL is corrupt and they will not support under any circumstances if newco is allowed back in.
-
Just watching the german footy on ESPN.
Dortmund organised a controlled pitch invasion for their fans to allow them on to celebrate winning the title.
Players got their medals and trophy in main stand and celebrated in front of supporters.
If the germans think its ok.......
The Germans think fiscal responsiblity and safe standing is OK too. We can't manage that either.
-
Then people can continue to get behind the club.
Up til now the request for clarity on our position is falling on deaf ears.
We know where we stand on pitch invasions though
Fair enough. Many on here, though, are saying they will turn their back on the SPL if newco is there. Just wondering if that still holds true if we vote against.
-
Wrong Iain ......................... I'm for penalising the Club I have supported and loved for over 40yrs if they ditch their morality and take the low and totally unacceptable road of voting for the immediate re-introduction of the bunch of cheating tax dodgers from Glasgow.
MFC now have to choose between Filthy Lucre or Honest Dosh ! I reckon there are 10 SPL Chairmen in the same position today.
What if Motherwell vote against it, but newco is allowed in anyway?
-
The simple reason attendances are low is down to cost. Nothing else. Drop the ticket prices and watch the stadiums fill up.
It's nothing to do with the quality of the football.
That's partially true, but I bet if you let everyone into Fir Park every week for free, we still wouldn't have to ever put up a "Ground Full" sign.
-
He was keen to get Black back from Hearts yesterday... I'd discount that also
Wee bit of a difference though.
-
Strange one!
In his MFCTV interview, McCall said there were a few players (who he wouldn't name) who had knocks and been playing through them - so he might not play them today.
Maybe Higgy is one them.

Clarkson is still getting treatment at Bristol to recover from his injury. Won't be easy picking up a good deal in his situation.
I see in The Herald today that Butcher is keen on getting Clarky to Inverness.

Petrol Blue, obviously.

MFC tweeted the Delvin news yesterday, so definitely correct.
Good to hear.

He certainly looked a decent prospect any time I saw him on the MFC TV highlights.
