Good to see Dan Mackay back in training. I hope that means he will be good to start the season.

Alex Rae? FFS! If it's Wilson's choice fair enough. I'd probably rather have Dalziel...jk

Budget Update At Monday’s budget approval meeting, the Club Board and trustees agreed on the playing component of the 2025-26 budget. The figure agreed will be broadly in-line with seasons 2022-23 and 2023-24. The purpose of ring-fencing this component of the budget is to provide certainty and to allow the first team to crystalise their recruitment plans for the upcoming campaign.” “It is recognised that the wider budget requires further work, to satisfy the trustees as to its sustainability and deliverability. Further discussions will take place in the coming days, and we aim to provide a further update next week.” From club email. Seems okay on Facebook of things. Would be good if the club could update other media channels rather than just an optin mailing list but hey ho, let's go.

Probably end up with Wurzel Gummidge junior...

Bud 2.0 out of that busted flush and we would need another.

I feel it's a shame the site didn't close at times...

FFS. I was looking forward to a wee day out through in Edinburgh. I don't think I'll bother on a Friday night.

Reading between the lines? 😉

...and relegation to the league below

Right footed though?

I see it as a donation to the club really. It would be nice once but I won't hold my breath waiting on that win. A few prizes monthly to keep the interest.

A friend was getting their season ticket and apparently signings are imminent and there could be a fair bit of news this week. New kit reveal on Wednesday which goes on sale the following Wednesday. Not sure why the club could have said something to a similar effect, but there you go.

We don't have a left or a right back at the moment. Also no goalkeeper, so probably need two unless the apprentice can step up.

News on signing players this week. Will that be actual players arriving or how the recruitment team are going to go about filling the gaps in the squad? I genuinely don't know.

Sad to see @Norgethistle has chosen to step down from the TJF Board. He has put a lot of time and effort into the role. I don't know the reasons specifically and that's his business but cites the TJF response to recent communications from the club. The club find itself at a very difficult stage of the fan ownership model. We have a club board which is made up of fans. Fan owned but not fan ran was the manta I thought we would use? The lack of experience in the board has led to a rack of heads of department. Too early to say but as we hear nothing apart from glib communications on social media from the club it is difficult to actually know what the heck is going on. TJF have seemed to take a very measured approach to their response to the board. Personally, I don't know if that is the right course to take as we need action and all of these constituent parts pulling together. Still so many questions but a lack of answers.

Father and son. Although Isaac junior is a full-back

I hope that the majority of additions are younger players, more than enough experience at the back and in the doughnut. Couple of full-backs in the ATS or Milne mould would be nice. Someone like Isaac English up front to support and create space for ***insert lower English league workhorse*** would be good too. Goalkeeper I'd assume an older body along with a Lewis Budinauckus type who could be developed. At least we should have some signing news by the end of next week, surely?

Nothing is surprising in the current scenario unfolding.

I never said you did 😉

He usually is, but to be fair that is an opinion based stance. I just wish someone was ITK at Firhill, but that seems to be a forlorn hope...
