daver Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I immediately read that as the Leanne that has recently made quite an impact on this forum. Wondered if she had personally signed Fraser Fyvie and was keeping him in a cupboard! Then I remembered he had signed for Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I wonder who we missed out on. There must have been a long list of targets. I was told we missed Lyle Taylor, we just about had him, then Thistle threw everything at him. I believe the fact he had been there lead to his decision to go back.

CoF Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 "I read some of the feedback on Twitter and some of the messageboards - and usually myself and others are getting stick on there. "But last night was a pleasant read. They could see that people at the club were working hard to identify areas that needed strengthened. There is something quite sad about that. It's been a great window, but make no mistake these guys could have been working just as hard under far tighter financial circumstances and landed absolutely no-one because we are otherwise rooked. Would the club then have got the usual barrage of abuse they've been getting so far? Individually I don't know if anyone on here has done a complete u-turn, but it highlights how fickle fans as a whole must seem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Interesting point CoF and one I thought about. Evident Les dipped into his pocket to fund a few more of these deals than we could have afforded based on our balance sheet. There is a degree of speculation to accumulate here. If we did live within our means, out of the 7, who would we have managed to secure and would that have resulted in more heat being directed the way or our GM and Manager? If our chronic injury list started to diminish along with 2 signings (Pearson being one) I think we would have done enough to stay up. St. Mirren hardly did anything impressive and lost out massively with McLean's departure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinnae-punt-it Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Good article about Flow in the Daily Record: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/used-play-football-manager-after-5120804? Interesting to read that Leanne tried to pinch him for Hibs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punk_in_drublic Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hope he's enjoying it. It is a bit of a surreal rise to probably the dream job outwith actually being a player. The article does shed a wee bit of light into the foregoing argument in here about what the job role entails i.e. "general manager (in effect chief executive).

punk_in_drublic Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well the fact he is noted as being one of 4 on a panel involved in the manager interview process, is our European Association rep and talks to guys like Lawell, gives the insight.

Well Up For It! Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Very good article and believe it clears up a lot of stuff in relation to his role as GM opposed Leannes as CEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Everyone needs to start from somewhere. Any time I've listened to him, I'ce quite liked what he's had to say. Likewise with the manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punk_in_drublic Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I didn't expect the GM role to be that encompassing. So he's doing more than I'd originally thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raoul_Duke Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 From what was said both on here and on Twitter, I think we missed out on Marvin Morgan, who went from Plymouth to Hartlepool on loan and Padraig Amond, a former Irish U21 striker who currently plays with Morecambe, think they never released him because they missed out on whoever their signing target was? What a day to be a Well fan though, kudos to everyone involved in it all at the club, we usually dread losing players in the transfer window but its the first time in a while there has been as much excitement for Well fans! Long may it continue! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3401453/Meet-Grimsby-Town-striker-Padraig-Amond-not-lethal-striker-England-s-better-Lionel-Messi-Cristiano-Ronaldo-Neymar.html Read a wee bit about this boy when I had heard we were interested in him back in Feb 15, shame we missed out then as I think he might move onto better things at the end of this season.

weeyin Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Surprised nobody has commented on 'Flow's promotion to Chief Operating Officer. I was in the "dubious" camp when he was appointed as GM, but I think COO is an ideal role for him in the club. Congrats all round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Surprised nobody has commented on 'Flow's promotion to Chief Operating Officer. I did. However, I put it in the in and out section and called it a contract extension. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
