And to be clear the opposite point of view is currently just an opinion as well isn’t it

Which to be fair is your specialist subject

Because we have people saying other clubs have more money than us - no facts then we made no money off the playoffs-no facts Then well we made some but we were in debt - no facts We have a sufficient budget to challenge for the title just like Raith but we want to excuse that fact away.

That was the £500k was it not

Don’t we get 20% of our gate then ?

Well you said we got 20% of our gate which I estimate to £40-60k or a player ?

Ok not being funny but you don’t actually know then and as for WJ it depends on what next to nothing actually means … if we had actual numbers we could decide for ourselves

So how much did we make then ?

How much did it generate ?

But let’s forget the extra cash the play off also generated …..

If you can quote where I said it allowed us to spend lots of money on new players I’ll give you £100

DU have more resources than us and eh well Raith who seem to be competing with them in a way we are not and Murray’s track record isn’t exactly stellar. Just maybe if we had recruited some decent players we might be doing better.

The £500k stabilised our finances and gave us a financial buffer at least that’s what the statement said. we sold 3000 season tickets and recruited 8 players , it’s just that most of them turned out to be not very good.

It was always going to be a challenge to overcome DU but not impossible. The last time they came down they struggled to get out the division. I find the unsubstantiated claims about Raith amusing …..does any one have any actual information that they have spent a load of cash ? None that I can see and they have half our number of season ticket holders. And let’s ignore the £500k we received. There is no reason why we couldn’t be above Raith except in football terms they are better. I also don’t accept the we lost 4 players excuse either. That happens to us and every team in the championship nearly every year. Just check the other teams new signings for this season. where Dollan has been culpable is in recruitment. Hardly any of his signings have been successful and clearly there are 5/6 of them he doesn’t rate as they never play. We can’t afford to only have a preferred squad of 16. I shudder to think of the money he’s wasted. Getting into the play offs is not a given and if other teams win their games in hand and we stumble then it could be a struggle. so we are under achieving with a manager who is increasingly of concern.

Aidan was poor last night …..invisible for most of the first half as was mentioned several times……and his tracking back and defensive work can certainly be improved as his all round work rate is not consistent with the requirements at the highest levels which is probably why he is with us.

Absolutely correct…..we all know our midfield isn’t right, our defence can’t keep clean sheets and we have six players the manager doesn’t want to play ….nit good

I prefer managers who don’t talk complete mince after games who does he thinks he’s kidding …..we were dreadful last night

Not at all …..there is no evidence he can recruit well so give him some help…think of the money he’s wasted on six players who rarely ever start….it doesn’t follow that just because you played football you can recruit well, coach well or manage well …..

It will probably be helpful is someone other than Doolan picked the January signings.

He actually said we were on the ascendancy and in command in the second half … he’s on drugs

We should be worried about January signings as doolans signings so far have been very very poor.

He doesn’t have to throw anyone under the bus just give a realistic assessment of how we did which the players seem to be able to do. His post match comments last night are crazy.

It’s becoming a concern that the post match interviews from the players are much more honest and realistic than the nonsense Doolan talks….maybe they could have a word with him.

‘For most of the second half we were in command’….’we were in the ascendancy’…..’we have been on a good run’…….doolan clearly watching a different game…..delusional

Play offs it might be….keep playing like this and that will be a challenge
