  1. Either or both Luke Wall and Sam Scrivens could turn out to be undiscovered gems but this squad doesn’t need more shots in the dark, it needs signings like Tam O’Ware and Joe Cardle - players who have been over this course before and know what’s needed in this division. I’m sure the manager knows what he needs to do but right now this squad is light and we all know the pitfalls of not having the squad full enough to  gel in league cup games of July/early August.

    Throwing some names into the hat that haven't been mentioned - not sure of all their respective availabilities.

     

    Craig Moore (FWD) - Ayr United

    Jamie Ness (MID) - Free

    Cameron Burgess (DEF) - Scunthorpe - Possible Loan

    Chris Porter (FWD) - Crewe

    Padraig Amond (MID / FWD) - Newport 

    Michael Rose (DEF) - Ayr United

    Lee Wallace (DEF) - Free

     

    Michael Rose signed with Coventry back in January.

  3. Great point. If you cut the official fan groups out of any meaningful communication structure then you create a void that will be filled by others, and you can’t control whether their input is well intentioned or not.

    I presume someone on the Board knows this. ( I hope that is not too great an assumption). 

    On that basis, why should it be a concern to the ordinary fan?

    You’ll see that I don’t get involved in these debates but this question struck me as hugely naive.

     

    In my mind it should be of concern to the ordinary fan because many clubs have history for sleepwalking into extreme debt, ours included. This is our club, we predate the board and will be shuffling up to Firhill long after Ms Low and others wearing he suits of office have found somewhere else to be on a Saturday. Our role is to ensure our club is protected for future generations and therefore we have a moral responsibility to question when things don’t seem right. Financially things at Firhill don’t seem right so question we must.

  5. He’s unlikely to tell us specifically who he is targeting and likewise he is unlikely to break confidence and share his true thoughts about the players that have left the club. So what you will get is a night of discussion about his ‘philosophy’ and his intent for the direction of the club - wee spoiler it will be to sign players with the ‘right character’ and to get us back to ‘where we belong’. Being realistic can anyone see it being anything else?

    Don't see anything wrong with the article. Caldwell asked players to name a team, by doing so finds out who the players trust to get a result. These things happen all the time, just highlighted by a newspaper. 

    But in no way is this going to be used to affect team selection or team shape. So what is the benefit of knowing?

  7. The Propco investment wasn’t ever meant to be a long term with little return investment. It was expected that planning permission would be given and the land would quickly be turned around, ensuring relatively quick sale of flats and return on investment. That the deal hit the buffers is a matter of circumstances (and terrible planning) rather than the original investment plan.

  8. We should let Doolan go and sign a striker that has hit double figures five seasons in a row in the Premiership  and has hit double figures almost every season in the last decade.  Oh wait a minute.......

    Hazard had no chance with any of the 3 goals v Hearts but it doesn't stop some saying otherwise. The penalty in the second game was the defenders fault also.

     

    You’re trying too hard to gloss over his weaknesses, and every player has weaknesses. Keep the shots low and hard and you stand a chance of scoring against Hazard. It doesn’t even have to be well placed in the corners of the goal, just low and hard. Goals conceded against Dundee Utd, Hearts and yesterday were all capable of being saved. That’s not to say he should have saved all of them but they weren’t greatly hit well placed goals.

    We needed to build a squad that was capable of challenging for promotion. We pick a player who is in dispute with his club, a player who we can’t field, a player who hasn’t played for ages. And now it appears that we may have to shell out some money we can’t afford as a result of his former club winning an appeal. Sounds kinda shambolic to me.

    What money are we having to ‘shell out’?
