Or maybe its because mediocre is more acceptable at Firhill. The expectation of, say Erskine, to perform consistently at a high level was never achieved. At us, we accepted that for every bad game he could have an outstanding one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just interesting that all three that left us in 2013 all of them have struggled especially Jackie at the same club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave 100% and was our captain in one of the best teams i have seen that got us promoted. Did he not imply he had done us a favour by playing at Cowdenbeath one night when he had his medical booked for the following morning?

allyo Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Paul Paton did fine after leaving us. He's just getting on a bit. Worth remembering that he was only good for us for about 3/4 of a season. Before that he spent about 3 years punting long and useless crosses in from the half way line as a right back.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 There may be other add-ons. International call up, games played thresholds etc. They don't necessarily become redundant on 2nd transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRE, today's unusual burst of positivity from you will not wash with the usual suspects on this forum!!!! I'll offer a note of realism to this particular discussion. The appearance of the cash will depend on how the payments are staged.........................might be a tenner a week for the length of the contract for all we know.

allyo Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Wonder if he's in Clarke's thoughts. Suddenly seems to be several young central defenders of similar decent standard coming through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly seems to be several young central defenders of similar decent standard coming through. McKenna and Mulgrew appear to be the favoured pair at present. Grant Hanley is still a worthy option. Souttar is injured and Jack Hendry has been obliterated from the picture. I certainly hope Liam would be considered as a replacement for Berra, who shouldn't have been near a Scotland squad since Ljubljana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Good news on the extra money for Lindsay. Could make the difference in getting transfers and temporary transfer deals over the line. Some of these can go down to an extra £50/100 a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 I know there will be a clammer for the money from Lindsay's sell on to get spent on players but I would prefer to see some of it used for that but the rest used for things which will last for a longer term like repairing things that need fixed around the stadium. We could throw all of it at players and still not get promoted but the repairs would still need done so better to fix the roof whilst the sun shines in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the plan was money from transfers of players brought through academy was supposed to go back into the academy to make it self sustainable ultimately. I may have entirely misinterpreted that at some point though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good , not really sure what “ thistle terms “ means , but we should focus on the Academy and make better use of it , if you look at what Motherwell, Hamilton, Hibs have achieved and the transfer fees they’ve generated by coaching their young players , giving them a pathway to the first team and ultimately selling them on for big money. Motherwell have certainly reaped the rewards with the fees attached to Jake Hastie and David Turnbull, still think Liam Lindsay was totally undervalued at 350k even with add ons . Needs to be more focus on the Academy in my opinion to make it worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacNamara turned him into a huge asset for us so credit to both player and manager. It doesn’t mean we have to like either though! And I think he’s been pretty rubbish since he left us, for every team he played for. And so has Jackie!! Despite all the baggage that went with Jackie Mac , he definitely had an eye for a player up in Scotland, our two current full backs playing for Scotland just now Andy Robertson and SODs were signed up by Mcnamara He changed PTFC with his training methods , the Sports Science and the way we played . If he hadn’t left in the manner he did and burned his bridges , I would have taken him back . Interesting with all the signings at Dunfermline, what input Jackie Mac had in all of it .
