I suppose you could ask Groningen if they got their money's worth. Kilmarnock can tell us in May.

All those achievements were prededed and followed by seasons with poor league finishes and cup results. We haven't managed to maintain a credible challenge over an extended period for nearly a century.

You could well be right, I've no idea what funds we have available. But I agree, it's too risky.

How do you define 'a credible force in Scotland'?

That could certainly work as long as he delivers. If he doesn't, very different story.

We can't afford his wages, if the figures quoted are anywhere near accurate. I have no problem with that. He promised Groningen 30 goals this season. There are no guarantees.

Is that guaranteed?

What's the difference in prize money between 4th, 5th and 6th place?

I know their fan. I'll ask him.

What's mental - signing Obileye or believing what the Livi fan said on Pie & Bovril?

Both towns have larger populations. Not sure how you could measure stay-away fans, given there is no figure for total fans. Edit: as David said

Make him feel at home with Syd's version of Little Arrows. Fired by the wee arra people.

Can we ask the questions if and when he signs for either of them?

Notts County haven't paid a penny in transfer fees this season, so there's no chance they're coughing up quarter of a million for Jack Vale.

Steak & Kidney's grandson. Can he yodel for Yoda?

Read someone saying that while he's still technically on loan with us, we will pay nothing while he's back at Celtic and unavailable to play. No idea where they got that info from or how accurate it is.

It's from the Book of Alternative Stats. Same place us beating Gretna's non-existent record for games without a win came from.

There have been failures in Kettlewell's time - Shaw, Wilkinson & Obika - but Van Veen, Biereth & Bair all scored more goals than their previous stats would suggest likely. Just need to hope Vale joins the second group. Every signing for us is a fingers crossed, we can't afford sure things anymore.

How many games did he start for Lincoln City?

I see very little criticism of Vale from their fans when it was announced he was leaving. The negative comments were more along the lines of 'why did we sign him but hardly play him?' Either way, doesn't matter. Different club, players and management now. Be nice if the fans gave him some encouragement, which I'm sure most will.

Is what folk say about you on here true?

Bair's scoring more goals that anyone at our relegation rivals - he's no good. We sign someone who doesn't have a great goalscoring record - he's no good. Our current form is better than the teams below us, funnily enough, but if we did end up in a play-off, who would we face?

Could you clarify, are you speaking as a Motherwell, St Johnstone, Ross County or Livingston fan?

Brophy's a couple of years older and obviously played more games, but he has 46 Premier goals as opposed to Shaw's 16. Definitely been more consistent over the years, although there's the usual question with a couple of spells out injured. Think one was a broken foot, which could obviously happen anytime to anybody we bring in, but more recently a thigh problem. That's the January sales for you, I suppose - if we're even after him....

All Brophy's goals for Killie were in the Premier. Every goal Shaw got for them was in the Championship, and he hadn't scored at all in over a year before coming here.
