dennyc Posted May 25, 2024 Report Share Posted May 25, 2024 4 hours ago, Kmcalpin said: That scenario did occur to me, although it would seem very strange. Making very public offers to players for some hidden reason, in the knowledge that they wouldn't accept them. Or maybe it's as simple as retain them if they take a wage cut. And so reduce the wage bill overall. Finance ahead of quality which may well be a line SK has had to go along with. As well as referring to a Takeover, Caldwell also stated we cannot continue making losses each season. His words, not mine. (before Steelboy tells me we have millions in the Bank.)

Actually depending on how the investment talks go we might have some more money to spend (or possibly not if the offer isn't suitable). I don't know about having money to spend, but if the investment talks come to nought, then we'll benefit financially from the Society proposal - no?

I can't renew online as I'm a student.

stv Posted May 25, 2024 Report Share Posted May 25, 2024 “Offered a new contract” could be three irn bru bottles and two freddo bars every week . Being offered a contract that if you accept suits us very well and if you dont like it then bye bye . It all depends on whats offered , may be good business sense by us.

wellup83 Posted May 26, 2024 Report Share Posted May 26, 2024 I sincerely hope any talk of us signing Joe Lewis is quashed sooner rather than later. That guy is the worst goalkeeper I've seen play against us in my lifetime. I don't remember seeing a goalkeeper make so many successive blunders against us as he has.

Actually depending on how the investment talks go we might have some more money to spend (or possibly not if the offer isn't suitable). I could be wrong. But I dont think any prospective investment money will be going straight into the transfer budget. My understanding is that we need the extra investment to underwrite our financial security going forward. That might leave a little wriggle room in terms of players but I dont think we are suddenly going to start signing players previously out of our price range. We still need to spend wisely and get maximum "bang for our buck" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbybingo Posted May 26, 2024 Report Share Posted May 26, 2024 Joe Lewis makes as much sense as the Stefan Scougall rumour did. Why would we be after a 36 year old who - unless I've missed something - hasn't played for a year and was never that good in the first place?

Spiderpig Posted May 26, 2024 Report Share Posted May 26, 2024 Watching the playoff final, RC are crusing it, but if Simon Murray is available we should be after him, 22 goals this season now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelman1991 Posted May 26, 2024 Report Share Posted May 26, 2024 I can see why we'd be interested in Dylan Easton - been tidy with the ball so far, but jeez his physique puts him in the Dougie Imrie doppleganger category. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretzel Posted May 27, 2024 Report Share Posted May 27, 2024 Is Simon Murray out of contract? County paid a transfer fee to Queen's Park only a year and a half ago so you would think he would be on a longer deal. He's a player that never really impressed me while at Hibs or Dundee United but was done well down the leagues with the likes of Arbroath but at 32 he has just enjoyed his best season in the top tier. The Joe Lewis rumour originated from Pie and Bovril as did the one about Obileye signing away back in the January transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
