  1. I do think though that the young protege's like Slane and Forbes need to be put on longer contracts. Getting 100k for Slane now would be gross incompetance when he can be kept for a couple of seasons to shine in the team and command a hopefully Faddy like fee in a few years.

     

    Abso-bloody-lutely matey. Thats the only way clubs like ours can survive.

     

    When i talked about 'investing in the squad' I was meaning the kind of thing that jim McLean was a master at. Like getting some kid from a lower division team, signing him up on a 7 year contract and punting him on. That is the kind of thing that only the richest can do. (Man U, Ronaldo) Remember people saying Fergie had accidentally signed the wrong Ronaldo ?? :-)

     

    Players that we've brought up and brought through should be on decent length contracts so that we can get the best out of them and still get a decent fee. Unfortunately, these days, agents are getting in the heads of young players and advising them against long contracts with the promise of big moves and big signing fees. As you say, if we allow these kids to slip away, that is just incompetance.

  2. We are in the enviable position of having dealt with it early and have the full close season to bring in the new boys. Having a manager who moves quick in the transfer market has also been key.

     

    Absolutely spot on mate. I think there are a lot of clubs yet to deal with their incoming problems. In a way it's similar to the administration thing a few years back. It forced us to get our house in order while other clubs firefight their finances and continue to accumulate debt, we are in a position where that is not happening any more. Every club in the league will have to deal with debt problems (if they haven't already) and it can come as a short sharp shock in the way it happened to us or it can be done slowly by offloading players (how many 'sellable' players are there in the SPL ?). I firmly believe some will not survive this process. I'd rather be where we are than where some of the others are.

     

    Fans talk about 'investing in the squad' but these days there is no such thing. Players on two year deals to get their next bosman move. Only the very richest teams can 'invest in the squad'.

     

    Can you imagine what would happen in England if Sky went bust ????? :-)

     

    :thumbup:

  3. one name Faddy!

     

    With the greatest of respect to the younger fans, someone like Faddy can in no way be considered to be our best ever player. He played for the Motherwell first team for about 5 mins before moving on. The mid 70's team was half full of players who could do what Faddy did. Guys like Wark, Ian Taylor, Vic Davidson, Marinello could ALL beat men and cross and score goals. Faddy was special for his time but his time was brief and he was in a team dominated by non special players. Just my opinion like :lol:

     

    Tin hat on........ :D:D:thumbup:

  4. McGhee is a whore. Simple as. When he started fucking us, he was fucking someone else in his mind. He's now fucking the sheep and thinking about the tims.

     

    Like all cheap hookers, and like happened to him in England, he'll run out of people willing to pay to fuck him.

     

    GIRUY McGhee.

  5. Maybe Mr Boyle should add a further question to his interview list for potential candidates.

     

    "And can you tell me that in spite of your obvious desire to get this job, are you likely to last more than six months before you turn into a cheap hooker offering free gammys to any chairman with a potential managerial vacancy".

     

    I think McGhee has been great for the football side of things but away from that, he's been an arsehole who speaks with a very, very forked tongue. Would love to see him go to the sheep shaggers and then discover that he's A) caught a dose from Stewart Milne & Willie Miller, and, B)Got far less of a budget than he expected.

  6. Only saw the game on the telly yesterday and haven't seen anything else of him (other than highlights) so maybe i'm not qualified to say :huh: but I thought Sheridan looked pretty pish to be honest. He might improve with games but why give that opportunity to someone else's player ? Sutton might improve with games and at least he's our player.

  7. Would be the wee cnut Nevin........

     

    He was on TV t'other night and when asked about the financial implications of Man City's bid for Kaka, started by saying 'I studied economics for a while...........'.

     

    If he studied economics, how did he not know that paying players £5500 a week on our turnover was probably not that clever a plan ?

  8. What an amazing find ! Cheers !!

     

    That was my first ever game against Rangers.........remember going feckin' wild at that third goal with tears of joy streamin' doon ma face !! Magic......magic........

     

    Vic Davidson was some player mind......one of my favourites of all time (as per the other thread).
