The African

Looks like a draw to me, unless Accies are as awful as I hope they are. Any real confidence I currently have is based on the sincere hope that Accies, Livi, St Midden and the ‘Dee are more shite than we appear to be.

Not heard any rumours regarding late interest from down south in any of our saleable assets. Hopefully time for people to settle down until January and try and get our season up and running.

I believe Hutchison matches it by reducing the debt rather than a cash payment. Not really in the spirit of his generous offer to make a payment which was not genuine, just to generate the debt reduction.

My understanding is that the debt is interest free for now, but that this is only for the short term.

If the debt is such a priority, perhaps we should pay it all off with the substantial down payment we are receiving for Cedric? Then, without this hanging over us, we can play hardball with suitors for the likes of Cadden, Carson and Campbell? As previously stated, I have no problem with selling players on, I simply do not want us to be seen as the cheap option. An extra hundred grand is close to chicken feed in their market, but it would make a reasonable difference to us. We need to be squeezing the most out of these deals to allow us to progress.

One question. Does our model have a provision for the season after it fails in it’s core purpose, and we find ourselves in the Championship?

Agree with a fair bit of what you say here. My one concern is that you feel hounded. This is the Internet, not real life. Any **** with a keyboard can add content and it is all just bs or insightfully brilliant at one and the same time my own input included. Do not let it get to you.

If the replacement is anything like recent signings, prepare to be underwhelmed.

The debt being paid is necessary, but will it give us a warm rosy glow after three seasons in the Championship? The problem is that the only figures being quoted are a possibility of seven figures when the add ins kick in. So we are really looking at letting him go and praying for their success. Cedric is a potential goldmine as he genuinely has the assets to go all the way to the top. We seriously need to cash in on this, whether it is now, or later. Half a million now( speculation) looks cheap and one would hope that we could do a bit better.

With the amount of cash English clubs seem to have, and the silly prices they seem to be happy paying, why should we settle for anything less?

Seems a funny time to be having a fire sale. There will probably be a fair amount of cash swilling about in the next few days with the English window about to close, but that does not excuse us for accepting any half arsed offers that come along. If we lose Kipre, Carson and Camden for say a combined initial total of around £2 million, it will be good news for Hutchison, Boyle and Hartlepool, and a season of grim struggle for us as we fight for tenth place.

I suppose £1 million plus add ons for Cedric would be acceptable. The final line of the Sun article suggests it would be a down payment and then possible add ons making it up to seven figures. That sounds like selling on the cheap to me.

Got the win required. Now show the same commitment against Clyde and we should be okay.

He's 35 and a brief look at his career stats suggests that he is only a prolific goal scorer for QoS. Not sure if he is quite what we should be looking for, though he will probably score against us now.

We need to see a reaction to Saturday's poor performance. Play our strongest available side, win the physical battle and, having done that, take advantage of the resulting control to create chances and score goals. I would expect more from Kipre and Hartley and would expect Campbell to make a difference. Main and Johnston up front and Frear to get a run at some stage. A win is the only acceptable result after dropping points at Stranraer. We can afford to experiment a little against Clyde, if we win on Tuesday.

F*ck*n' Jonah!

By all accounts a poor performance, and undoubtedly a poor result. Way too early to be throwing the toys out of the pram though. Lots to work on if we are to have any kind of success this season. Fitness and organisation, effort and enterprise. Without world beating talent, it will only get us so far, but it is where we are.

Let’s hope that off the field distractions don’t get in the way of a professional approach and performance.

I see that, according to the BBC, Gary Neville has accused us of a breach of etiquette by discussing Salford's " business". The irony is that these words of wisdom have come by the medium "twitter"when we all know that we should have been informed of our transgressions by a hand written note, delivered by his valet or manservant, with our choice of time, place and swords or pistols. Just proves,once again, that you can't buy class.

The stance taken by the club and the manager is the correct one. At the moment, all we have is an allegation. If and when any of the facts concerned in this allegation are proven is when some action and comment would be required.

The thought of Lightning McQueen playing for us might revitalise the Disney thread?

The sell on clause for Kipre could be the real money maker for the club. Given the sums being paid down south,, and his undoubted potential, 25% of his next move could well be more than what we initially get for him. Carson won't make us much, as a fair chunk of any fee goes to Hartlepool.

Living overseas, I've not seen much of McKenna. Is he in a different league from Cedric? Or can this be put down to the usual bs and exaggeration from a deluded club.

But he looks nothing like Hardy Kruger?

Job done. We move on. All about the result and game time for the squad. We will have tougher tests.
