Some really good early stages of moves then it just breaks down as we have so few making runs and they're doubling up on anyone that gets the ball.... we're crying out for an out and out striker or two

That depends on what the buying and selling club agree, every deal is different and Celtic were in a very strong position to include sell on clause the immediate and the next transfer. I seriously doubt we are in that position with anyone, and the fact the Penner's left livi at the end of his contract would mean in previous circumstances we'd have got nada as you can't enforce an agreement onto his next club, or club after that. Thankfully the current system allows a bit more flexibility to reward the developing club. If for j low was to move on for a few at the end of this season, we'd get that transfer fee as he's under contract, the end of the season after we could get no transfer fee unless he signs a new contract but there would be a development fee due to his age. but as I understand it the thistle academy and also his previous club (as he had only been in the academy a few years) would get a payment as well. Could be wrong, and happy to be corrected by someone that knows more about the current transfer system but that's my understanding

And given he left us for livi, surely any sell on clause would be limited to what livi sold him for.... But given he left them for free, to join hearts at end of his contact that's probably where it would have ended without the development fees. I'm sure both us, livi and the thistle Weir academy all get money from that as he's moving to another country

If only we'd waited a little longer we'd have got Ange, pretty sure he couldn't have resisted the urge to return to Glasgow but to the one team in Glasgow this time

Get turner back into the advanced midfield role when he's back and that should solve that

Banzo staying fits for me, I suspect we are going to end up with a very young squad so we'll need the experience in that area, at a guess won't play as much as last season but for me he still has a lot to give

Im not saying he should have, but if you put yourself in bg's position, he's a contracted player who we're told they want to keep, has decided the time is not right for him to take on the new role that was offered....and someone senior from the club posts that pretty much everything positive from a coaching pov was down to your previous partner in that role, and you were just the alpha male ( yes I've over simplified and ignored the legend talk etc etc) would you feel valued and want to stay ? If BG's time as part of the caretaker team was so minimal, why offer him a role in it for the future.

Did you read it.....I took it as after you get past the Brian is a legend of the club stuff that everything positive that happened in training and during matches was all down to Mark, and Brian was just the alpha male... I might be reading to much I to it.. but that's how I took it

Well that's BG been thrown under the bus......

Yeah but only told the players after the game during the week

I noticed at the start of the game it was more like what we used to do before tiff left, 3 forwards players and they rotate round so you've always got someone fresh to press and harry....but always with 2 up top and 1 sitting behind them. Was working well until the red for banzo

From his previous time at Motherwell, is there any senior pros who might be looking to move into coaching/management....so know the Scottish game and already know the sd

I always wonder why in situations like this is all debts are paid etc etc why does the club still get docked points...surely the deduction for simply going into administration should be removed

I assume the delay in a perm appointment being announced was due to someone else and taking Ferguson, McCann , dodds and McGregor from under our noses 🤣🤣🤣

Then sit on his arse, let the physio come on, then go off if needed and it gives us time to get players in the right place to cover....
