    Its very very difficult for a Championship Club to break even and thats just funding the Squad and Coaches - nothing else 

    Investors back a Winning Team - simple fact of life 

    Try telling that to Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney and the good people of Wrexham. Maybe not always the reason for someone to part with their money.  

  2. From the BBC Scotland thread on the game, interesting point by McCall:

    "McCall isn't ruling out his former side - currently 10 points behind leaders Dundee United - making a late charge for the title, but reckons they'd be favourites had they done more to keep Kevin Holt and Ross Docherty last summer.

    "I was pretty certain that given the correct deal, where it's since been proven that they could have afforded it, Holt and Docherty would both have stayed," said McCall.

    "And I think them in this Thistle team would make them favourites for the title. There was just so much unrest around Thistle at the time and I think that's why they they got out the door."

    It's a photographers dream. Landscapes, architecture & people all strikingly photogenic. Bring lots of data cards along with plenty of patience. It's not the easiest path to navigate.

     

    Thanks BB - will add it to the list of possibles for the next "big birthday" - not so long now! 😉

    I spotted an irresistible flight deal a few weeks ago so I'm taking myself off to India on Monday morning. Not taking laptop so, after tomorrow, no meaningful updates until I return on 10 November.

    I realise that this tardy behaviour is not up to the high standards set by the Pop Up franchise but, well, tough!

    Enjoy your trip BB.

    Been on my list of places to visit with my camera, interested to hear how you get on!

    What Doolan did with McCall's squad in 3 months last season spoke volumes.

    Much as I like him, McCall's a busted flush as a manager now.

    Much as I agreed it was time for McCall to go how much Doolan's success was actually down to getting a full, fit team to choose from? I guess we'll never know.

  6. So how did you get the cash in your pocket? More than likely with a Debit card used in an ATM. The same debit card could be used to pay for you contactless bus or train journey to Cappielow. As noted earlier in the thread a contactless payment gate would seem a logical step.

  7. Back home from that and it was a tough watch. No pass marks for anyone, hardly any passes to talk of either. The gulf between a top half Premier team and us was frankly glaring. Quicker on the ball, faster to close down and way more clinical. Probably unfair to single any one player out but Williams really is a bomb scare - god knows what they saw to give him a two year deal!
