he might not take the job, he's currently up at dalziel park watching us getting gubbed by rhyll. it was 3 - 0 when i left. bit apprehensive about thursday now. spoke to gannon briefly before the game, he said he has targets identified and that he knows the squad needs strengthened. seems like a sound guy.

we're always going to feel hard done by as soon as any player puts together a consistent run of form bigger clubs with more money will come sniffing around and said player will be off quick as they can. i'd much suffer from players being on an upward trajectory than a downward one though. consider how many of our players have left and moved onto "better" things compared with our rivals - killie, st mirren, dundee united, falkirk aberdeen. we're fortunate enough to have been able to watch better players than the fans of those clubs and while it's sore when they leave surely it's better to have loved and been hurt by faddy, skippy, rossco et al than never have loved at all? i started a thread on the final day of the season gloomily predicting what state our squad would be in a year's time. somehow as well as losing our manager nere enough everything i predicted has happened in a month. we just have to hope a new manager can sign a few gems and that the youths step up, the same things we're always hoping for basically times 5.

if the players train hard, eat properly and don't bevvy they should be fine... shite. loads of players play 50+ games a season. more physically demanding sports such as tennis and cycling have 11 month seasons. and you won't hear anyone going to the world cup moaning about burn out. the way only europe could effect us negatively is if we make the groupstage and have to play loads of midweeks (which would be amazing).

fucking XXXXL! fat bastards.

there was more but i edited it for reasons of politeness. seriously, hoping we draw 1-1 against a welsh league team at home, what's that all about? if you want to be petty use your flight down to wales to go and put a dug shite through their letterbox but don't root against the 'well.

clarkson should be tucked up in his bed just now. 800K seems a bit more like and if we are punting our assets just now lets hope the club have a plan as to how they and a new manager are going to reinvest the cash and make us a competitive side again.

hope it's not true as well. i also thought the price was a bit low but considering we didn't get much more than that for mcdonald it's probably about right. half a million is about 15% of our total turnover so we probably can't afford to knock bids like that back. pretty sad, davie along with quinn is the only player who has been here all the seasons since we went into admin.

very good.

i agree about quinn but gie reynolds a break. clarky and quinn had bigger form drop offs than mark had this season and now we're deperate to keep them. i fully expect reynolds to bounce back as well as they have done in the last two seasons. wee yin - not as simple as that. saunders looks decent but quinn is a threat going forward and a leader on the park, when he leaves he'll be missed.

you get 90 grand for each qualifying round you play in. so if we get by the welsh team that's £180K guaranteed. obviously we've got to pay for hiring the shyberry and trips to wales and albania but hopefully our home gate money (£50-60 thousand?) would cover that.

if we get through the two rounds drawn, we'll make £270,000 in prize money. hopefully that'll be clear profit and the home gate revenue will cover hiring the excellsior and travel. say we make it through three rounds (which will be difficult but not entirely unlikely) come the first day we could have won three or four competitive games and go through to perth buzzing. imo the club have everything to gain and nothing to lose from these games. from my perspective as fan, a game in eight days and a quality trip coming up - bring it on!

it's alright saying that but if we get relegated next season we are up shit creek. we can't afford to lose maybe 7 (porter, buzz, hughes, klimpl and maybe clarky, reynolds and quinn) of our best players from what was already a thin squad. trafficlight - not everyone slated clarky. it's a shame all the old posts got wiped or we could have a right good laugh at what all the regular nostradamus's have had to say about clarky, quinn and buzz.

if they don't turn up to training they shouldn't get their last weeks wages buzz - he had an excellent season - especially the last six months - and should have offers on the table. you'd also imagine that any new manager would be willing to give fraser a chance and spend his budget on other areas. so i doubt we'll see buzz resplendent in pink next season. i'm very sad to see him go, tap man. hughes - got a feeling he's waiting for rangers and now they've got champions league money they're looking at other options. can't see him playing for any other scottish team than us or the h**s, i don't think any other diddy team can offer him much more than he was was on at fir park and playing here suits him personally. he probably has offers down south and abroad it just depends on what his ambitions are. i think there's a chance of him signing if we bring in a manger and some players who show we're meaning business next season. really hope we sign him as he allows us to play fitba on the deck. mclean - suprised he looks like leaving but i don't think he'll be missed much if he does go. probably values himself higher than we do after all his injuries. i don't think we'll miss him anyway, he looks impressive 90% of the time then loses his man and costs us a goal. i'd rather see saunders, hutchison and page get a chance than break the bank to sign him. klimpl - would be a good signing but isn't worth the money. i'd imagine his wage demands would be high and the danish club will be looking for something. provided us with dig when we needed it but if you put his best run up against lasley's first 11 games then wee keith comes out ahead. keith was playing out his skin when others were poor, when maros came in quinn, crags, o'brien , porter and hughes had all found a bit of form. cheerio maros.

if we get stung two years in a row announcing friendly's that won't happen the club will look like complete tits.

whoever wrote this is a retard.

they must think they can only break even at the bigger stadium if they can pull a few thousand locals in as well as a decent travelling support, it would be daft for a wee club like that to risk losing money. anyway i'm sure everyone who goes down will see the game, there must have been 3000+ in nancy and no one seemed to be looking for tickets. these things always work out.

the 'well are off to forgewood

seriously don't post anymore logical and well thought out posts. you could hurt somebody.

one eye's going for the messages the other one's coming back wae the change.

i would say that about a lot of opinions but as this website continues to prove on a day to day basis everyone is entitled to one. i still don't think his comments are any reason to demonise him though it should rule him out managing here (as well as being shite). i would have been happy to have had a minutes silence for puerta who had played in glasgow five months earlier but others on here you could guarantee would said it was OTT.

and as i said at the time where was our silence for antonio puerta? i don't want the guy as our manager but he should be allowed an opinion.

pittodrie's a bit of a shitehole these days, richard donald stand apart. some of it makes the east look like the emirates.

maybe too big a gamble for boyle. i've got a feeling that the reason luke isn't in with much of a chance is that boyle doesn't know anything about him as a manager or a person and there is no one over here who can give him a reference.

anyone who expects reynolds, clarkson or quinn to sign another contract at motherwell is aff their heid.

it's in the spl's long term benefit for setanta to keep the epl sweet first and foremost. if the epl take premiership games away from setanta subscribers would plummet and that'd probably be the end of it.
