TartanC4 Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 And so three day after that game it begins. I've always found it amazing how quickly I can go from praise and admiration of a player to disgust and despise. I'm sure this is just the start of the End of this team.

I have nothing but respect for Tiff - was brilliant for us and a huge reason we got out of League 1. I’m surprised an English club didn’t fancy a punt on him but I wish him all the very best and thanks for some great moments and superb football. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Now that our finances are out in the open we may not even get value selling Milne or Fitzpatrick. There'd have to be serious competition to drive up the selling price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Good luck to all of them who move on to try to "better" their earnings and their career. Although they all deserve praise for the past couple of months, the truth is that for one reason or another they pretty much all did too little too late for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Players for Thistle are not on mega bucks so for me i understand them leaving. They have to think about themselves and their families. I will wish them all the best unless it affects Thistle in away. My only regret is if we would have got promotion we might have held on to some or most of them and we could have had a really good shot at having a decent season in the premier league.

chunky jag Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 The League 1 win was hugely down to signing Tiff, we would not have went on that run if we'd hadn't got him on loan. But overall a frustratingly streaky player, either ripping teams to shreds, or poor, with no in between it seems. Thought it was his 2 worst games back to back for us vs Ross County, very wasteful, and can't strike a ball well, I'd loved to have kept him but won't lose any sleep over it either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think we only had 5 players in that team that could play Premier League, McMillan, Milne , Turner , Lawless and Holt So undoubtedly it would have been a struggle but financially it might have got us out of a hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ability not in doubt but couldn’t play Premier League due to his work ethic , on Sunday the left hand side was Ross County’s target as they knew Aiden wouldn’t track back and that is where they saw our weakness . There is not a chance Aiden would have even lasted 90 mins let alone an extra half hour , shouldn’t be for a 22yr old . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got a great chance to establish himself now that Tiff has gone . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) "Dismantling" the squad I think is too benign a term, as it suggests a planned, methodical intervention (from within) for a reason. "Demolishing" might be better, as it suggests outside forces acting with no concern about the destruction!

Sivad Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 It's perhaps worth remembering that those who may be signing elsewhere are no longer Partick Thistle players. They are free agents, a consequence of the club not having the resources to offer them contract extensions that they might have found attractive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 It is likely that most of the out of contract players would have left anyway(without promotion) even if the finances were in a good state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it likely? I’m not convinced it was. They didn’t in 2012/13 when like now a lot of other clubs could have offered higher wages too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought Holt was away back to Cyprus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Dastardly Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 This is neither a dismantling or destruction of the squad. The players are out of contract and are choosing other options. There is no malevolence involved. It is simple evolution of the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
