3-0 wow

Sounds like we are really up for it today... CMON THE JAGS

we ******* scored!

Anyone else read this article yet? Was a bit shocked to see us rated as being worth more than Dundee Utd?? Surely cant be right.. Also see that Dundee Fc are listed as a minus.. wonder how long before they go overboard again http://www.scotsman....worth-1-3903530 FOOTBALL is a multi-billion pound global business but its riches are not evenly spread among clubs. While the English Premier League reaps the rewards of its record-breaking television deal, teams north of the border have had cut to their cloth to suit their means in the last 10 years. Several Scottish clubs have had spells in administration with some reportedly coming within hours of going out business altogether. It is not all doom and gloom, however. The 2015 edition of the respected BDO’s Annual Survey of Football Finance Directors Report suggests that clubs have got their finances in order and have embraced a new era of prudence. All Scottish Premiership clubs surveyed said they were not raising funds by selling off future earnings, such as advances on season tickets or media income or player transfer fees. Charles Barnett, professional sports group partner at BDO, commented: “It is clear that the financial lessons of the last decade which saw several Scottish football clubs go into administration have been learnt. “There is a much greater understanding and will to ensure financially security in the years to come. Clubs know they cannot borrow now to fund future success and have responded accordingly. “They are also much more aware of the need to develop new sources of income where possible.” The Scotsman has compiled the net worth of the Scotland’s leading clubs from information calculated by companycheck.co.uk, the UK’s most used online business data provider. ABERDEEN - £7.3 million The Dons have enjoyed a renaissance on the pitch under manager Derek McInnes. A series of sold-out games at Pittodrie will have pleased the club’s board of directors as well. CELTIC - £46.6 million The reigning Premiership champions may have missed out on qualification for the Champions League group stages for the second year in succession, but prudent financial stewardship ensures the Hoops remain Scotland’s most valuable club by some distance. DUNDEE - minus £115,000 Companycheck rates Dundee as having a net worth of minus £115,000 once the club’s liabilities are deducted from its assets. The Dens Park club have endured several spells of administration since the turn of the century but are now enjoying a period of relative stability under the management of Paul Hartley. DUNDEE UNITED - £1.1 million The Terrors are currently without a manager after Jackie McNamara’s departure last weekend. The sale of several first team stars has tried fans’ patience but has significantly reduced the club’s debt. HAMILTON ACADEMICAL - minus £102,700 A net worth of minus £102,700 does not reflect Accies’ reputation as one of the shrewdest clubs in Scotland. Despite having one of the smallest average supports the club has profited from the sale of several players in recent years. HEARTS - £1.1 million Under the ownership of Vladimir Romanov, Hearts were known for paying extravagant wages to players. Those days came to abrupt end when the club entered administration in 2013 with debts of £25 million. The Jambos are now enjoying a fresh start under chairwoman Ann Budge and swept to the Championship title last year. HIBERNIAN - £14.9 million While avoiding the financial scrapes of their city rivals Hearts, Hibs still found themselves relegated from the top flight in 2014. Despite significant investment in the club’s infrastructure, the Hibees have endured a lean few years on the park and face a battle with Rangers to secure promotion at the second time of asking. INVERNESS CALEDONIAN THISTLE - £291,800 This has been a year to remember for fans of the Caley Jags. John Hughes led the club to its first major trophy success in May when it won the Scottish Cup courtesy of a 2-1 win against Falkirk. KILMARNOCK - £10.9 million Killie fans have made their displeasure with the Rugby Park board known in recent years and a poor start to the season has not helped the mood in Ayrshire. MOTHERWELL - £737,400 The Steelmen are also looking for a manager after the departure of Ian Baraclough following a cup defeat at Morton. The Lanarkshire side have bounced back considerably from their 2002 administration and remain on a solid footing PARTICK THISTLE - £4.5 million The Maryhill Magyars have seen their average home attendances drop in recent seasons despite a return to regular top flight football. RANGERS - £31.5 million The Glasgow giants endured years of financial uncertainty which culminated in the liquidation of the club’s former corporate identity in 2012. Although not in the Premiership the Gers are now under new ownership and look favourites to win the Championship this season and reclaim their place in the top flight. ROSS COUNTY - £3.5 million The rise of Ross County from Highland League origins has been one of Scottish football’s success stories and the Staggies are now firmly established as a top flight team. ST JOHNSTONE - £1.8 million The Saints are in robust health on and off the pitch. The Perth team tasted Scottish Cup glory for the first time in 2014 and under manager Tommy Wright are now a good bet to secure another top six finish.

Maybe we can have a whip round for one of these for Archie? Might still have mine in the loft somewhere

not enough likes for that Lindau

I really think we have been coasting on players that were left behind by other managers.. getting players into the team 8 games into the season is a ridiculous strategy.. players need a pre season to get to know their team mates and the strategy they are supposed to be playing.. expecting people to fit into whatever plan archie has straight away is nonsense..This isn't Archies fault im guessing its down to the budgets set by the board.. So i would expect at least another 3 weeks of shit.. Then the team will know how to play with each other.. Unfortuantly for us i reckon it will be far to late to make a diffrence

thats the best your gonna get this season mate.. best get some lube

2 - 0 ...........

thats ******* depressing

Just on official site http://ptfc.co.uk/ne...gns_for_thistle Thursday 24th September 2015 at 11:05 The transfer window may have closed a few weeks ago but Alan Archibald’s search for additions to his squad is ongoing. With that in mind, we are delighted to announce that he has today, on a deal until May 2106, secured the services of attacking midfielder - and Australian under 23 inentionalist - Ryan Edwards. The 21 year old is a product of the Australian Institute of Sport and he arrived in the United Kingdom while still just 17 years old, joining the youth academy at Reading. Ryan, who can play just off the front man or in a wide role, spent a total of four years with Reading and progressed through the ranks making a total of seven first team appearances last season. During his time at The Royals Ryan also spent a season on loan with Perth Glory in his native Australia. Ryan’s development as a footballer hasn’t just been restricted to his time with Reading and Perth Glory as he has, for a number of years, been a key component of the Australian international set up. A current member of the under 23 squad, who in January will be hoping to qualify for the 2016 Olympics, Ryan was a member of the Australian squad that participated in the under 20 FIFA World Cup in 2013. All at Thistle wish Ryan well in his time at Firhill.

scored 1 in 8 games?

shite

I really think that all AA has done is kept to the blue print that was left for him after JM left.. Now this is his "team" (after loosing so many key parts) its completely fallen apart.. a manager should be evaluating his teams strengths and weakness all the time and then adapting the game to fit our players. he is still trying to use the same system that JM left behind. Square pegs in round holes.. Can anyone point to a tactical initiative that he has made that is his own? apart from having Stevenson as striker

ffs

Would hope the youth setup funding could be advanced past the 4 year mark with it.. some new toilets would be nice in the main stand..and don't want to spend it all at once but maybe a new scrubber for the bird shit on the seats too

lol lol lol

Doolan should be starting every week

whens the away top released?

Last season i was a bit annoyed by the lack of activity.. this year im gonna trust Archie.. So relax and enjoy the summer!

I really enjoyed that.. Cant wait for the follow up

Im sure if the game had actually meant anything point wise we would have put in a shift... Sucks for people who paid to watch that.. perhaps the players can pay back their entry fees...

tbh think the team haven't turned up.. 8th is secure so they just aint playing... Kinda Shameful :/
