Said last year I wouldn't be back. However, if we get a yes vote, I'll be there hungover tae fuck.

If true, I don't think this is one he could turn down. While not manager, a very hands on job at a Premiership club is quite a step up. Palace are a bit of a basket case club but if it wasn't to work out, he'd still get a decent job in the aftermath. All going well though, he'd possibly be in line to replace the previously retired Warnock. From our perspective, small amount of compensation would be welcome but I really hope Scott Leitch wouldn't be in the reckoning.

Maybe John Boyle will spunk away a few quid in the event of a No vote.

4-1 Hibs. Faddys first goal upon his return. Higginbotham peach.

Dom Thomas has been struggling to get on the bench recently. For some reason, I think we'll get a result on Saturday if a couple of the injuries have cleared up.

McCall should return from that trip full of inspiration. Team were a credit to the country.

What was the consensus?

It's perfect timing to introduce the initiative. Looking forward to future seasons though, such packages would needed to price at higher rates than the ST.

Excellent move from the club. And one I'll take advantage of after not renewing my ST in the summer.

Makes sense although you wonder about a private investor willing to put in around £300k with no guarantee that this will be repaid by the fans. If the soft loan wasn't repaid in x months, would investor get a shade of the club? I've been openly sceptical about the viability of the WS from the outset, however I have been encouraged by the recent shakeup and increased focus in networking with local businessmen.

Interested to know how a soft loan fits with fan ownership.

I think we should have done better with player recruitment, turnaround and youth investment with income generation in mind. While you can't make a club buy one of your players, I remain baffled that we couldn't get any money for Randolph, Hutchinson et al while the likes of Falkirk and Livingston attract very good fees. The structure of our budget hasn't being right either. While our attractive bonus scheme has contributed to our unprecedented consistency in the park, the players have benefited more than the club from 2nd/3rd place finishes.

With Celtic and Accies double to follow, this is a pivotal game. Result needed here to have a shred of confidence going into the cup game.

The issue is that during 6/7 years of relative success, we have failed to provide a platform to sustain the future of the club. This leads to apathy. In terms of the league, we can do any better than recent years but have relatively nothing to show for it. Interesting to see what happens with the WS over the next couple of months. Reading tweets about soft loans to fund fan ownership?

No bother. Judging by the attendance figures, I'm not the only one scunnered by a sham of a summer.

McCall has played his part in getting an organised and competitive Scotland team on the park. Massive couple of months ahead for the national team, good luck to all involved.

A relegation battle might reignite interest for some. Another £23 saved today.

Good sensible pricing.

Cheers for this.

If the rumours regarding the salary of youth team manager at the time of JJs appointment were true, I can't see a media gig being too appealing for an experienced professional. On the media front, it would be nice to have the under 20s fixture list on the website.

Agreed. Winning certainly isn't sufficient to do the trick. Our qualification for Europe against ICT a few months back is as low key as I've seen Fir Park. Young kids playing good football with the potential to secure the financial future of the club is required with a mentality, that on our day, we can beat absolutely anyone.

At some point we'll get it right with Ainsworth, Vigurs, Ojamaa and Erwin clicking into gear. Who knows when though.

Are player contracts still pegged to the league position bonus scheme? Do we still budget for top 6?

According to Derby fans, O 'Brien is a good defender but very uncomfortable with the ball at his feet so we're maybe wary of putting him at fullback. Alrhough I suppose it doesn't stop us playing Reid.

If this form was to continue, a few directors would be sweating at the prospect of us going down as the much missed sevco come up. Piss poor summer on and off the park was always going to have an impact early season. Given how bad this league is though, it doesn't take much to turn fortunes around.
