No it’s everywhere as a quick google search will testify …. Think originally it came from hearts so no left back in the squad

As times are tough and we are verging on a shambles I’ve emailed the club to offer my cat - Archie - on loan till June. Hes a natural left back but two footed. .He’s tenacious and has good pace. He’s also cheap. On the other hand he can be difficult to manage. Still he’s our level . the management of our playing squad is a lesson in incompetence.

The annual accounts.

Yep

Doolan interview in the herald …..not expecting any more ins or outs….the squad today is it.

He was but overall it was his best so far

Why Ablade has not had more game time is a mystery that only Doolan knows . slightly better in parts today and Megwa finally turned up today the way we are set up , sit deep , don’t press and have huge gaps between our lines are why the play offs are all we can achieve

It’s simply a must win…..wonder if we will have any keeper on the bench

How do you know ?

Of only our finances were managed that well

He never played unless injuries meant he had to . A pointless signing and expensive.

Interestingly the pre match interview with Doolan doesn’t mention the playing squad at all …..back to Pravda

It’s clear unless a keeper turns up we won’t be adding to the squad. The finances are clearly poor. frankly the way we recruit and assemble our squad is baffling . Sayers left because unless there are injuries he will never play , like so many squad players we recruit. to overspend on our squad in the summer and then reduce your squad from 27 to currently 20 5 months later borders on the insane. Ver poor squad management but luckily no one is responsible.

Why he’s on the board last time I checked.

They finish fourth ?

It was stated by Donald mcclymont at the recent meeting on tranche 2. We have given Doolan a playing budget we couldn’t really afford, that’s verifiable by statements from the board and the need for tranche 1 itself. If the board think it’s a budget that can win the league them I’m sure it’s competitive.

Football is a black/white business…… if your given a league winning budget - according to Donald McClymont - and your fourth looking over your shoulder then you are not doing well plus our football has been terrible . We are currently going backwards.

Really dreadful…..can we make fourth

Nilsson, Sayers , Smith, Lyons, Diack, Ablade, McCready…..rarely played unless they had to……very very poor squad building and now we can’t strengthen in January ……that’s simply bad management

I can’t be the only one who wonders the plan over the last few seasons of having a large squad filled with players who never play , rarely come on as subs and then disappear. Who is masterminding this ludicrous strategy ? it should be clear that we are now in cost cutting mode , I guess a goalkeeper might turn up , as was predicted on looking at our financial situation. we are one of two teams who have not added to their squads.

There are some positives in the accounts eg increased turnover etc but without tranche 1 we have losses over the last two years of £500k. Tranche 2 then gives us a buffer but that’s only going to last if we stem our day to day losses and effectively break even. And that is something we have struggled historically to do.

Thursday 16th January, 2025 at 3:58pm The Partick Thistle Football Club Limited has today issued their shareholders with details of the club’s audited accounts for the year ended 31 May 2024. The key financial details are as follows: 2024 (£) 2023 (£) 2022 (£) Turnover 3,203,875 2,817,844 2,471,595 Turnover growth 13.70% 14.00% 67.25% (Loss) before tax and exceptional items (131,811) (355,834) (215,440)* Exceptional Income – – 1,716,432 (Loss) / Profit before tax (131,811) (355,834) 1,500,992 *Financial Year ending May 2022, included non-repeat Covid Grants totalling £137,267, increasing the like for like Operating loss to £352,707. It also included a one-off exceptional donation of £1,716,432 from Three Black Cats Limited. Review of The Partick Thistle Football Club Limited This year ending 31 May 2024 saw the first full season where Partick Thistle was a fan-owned football club, with this position formalised by the signing of the Club Trust Agreement in February 2024 and strengthened through the introduction of the Club Governance Manual in October 2024. The first stage of stabilising the club financially was completed in October 2023, through the issue of £500,000 of C Preference Shares to a consortium led by Donald McClymont, a lifelong Partick Thistle supporter, the US-based CEO and founder of the NASDAQ listed business Indie Semiconductor. The beneficiaries of the PTFC Trust who represent the majority shareholding in the club voted overwhelmingly in December 2024 to support a further share issue of £500,000 which will be formalised at the upcoming AGM. The directors believe that these investments provide the foundations required to run the club on a breakeven basis, whilst providing necessary reserves to make essential repairs to the stadium and ensure funds are held to guard against unforeseen financial challenges in future. The financial year ending May 2024, saw a pre-tax loss returned of £131,811, an improvement of £224,023 on the prior accounting period.
