jags on tour Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Sneds signs a 1 year extension, I thought he would be for the off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he would be our marquee signing. I’m surprised financially we can afford 3 keepers though and hope it’s not at the expense of not being able to afford adequate replacements for our departed players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfirejkl Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 While I am glad he signed, I don’t believe we have the luxury of having 3 keepers Would rather the budget was spent in the outfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see anyone missing unless we are counting Ji Stevenson or Ricco Diack as part of the first team squad? With 14 signed and 3 of them keepers then we still need another 7 or 8. In my opinion we need at least 2 central defenders and a covering fullback, 2 midfielders, a winger and a striker. Can't see 3 keepers being needed so either McCready out on loan again or Mitchell is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot depends on their contracts. Low basic/high appearance rate for instance. I wouldn't imagine one keeper going out on loan with two in the squad against only two keepers and the cost of an emergency loan will differ much. Of course it's possible, tho' unlikely, that neither of two keepers will get injured/suspended. And I'm imagining the host club would be paying a considerable slice of the loanee's wage. Whatever I imagine the cost to budget of a third keeper is marginal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunnikierjag Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 If that’s the squad then McMillan and Milne should be telling their agents get me out of here. If we are so broke why are we running a woman’s team and an academy? Surely the money must be spent on the men’s team or let’s just call it a day. I have bought 2 season tickets because I really believed the money would be spent on the first team squad, all I’m reading on the official site is women signings. Why do we need 3 goalkeepers ok Doolan says he has players lined up but how could we not have offered Holt a decent contract to stay. Are we so broke that 5 have left who I assume are our top earners could we not have kept at least one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The womens team generate their own funding so their signings are not having any negative impact on Kris' budget. The youth academy, as I understand it, is also fairly self sufficient and without it the squad would be a lot smaller. It is always frustrating when we lose players but given what the previous regime left behind we have to tighten our belts and get on with it.

dunnikierjag Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Thanks FT but I can’t be the only one on here wondering what the hell is going on, the board is silent, all out best players are leaving, we’re giving 2 year contracts to players who don’t deserve it. I am a supporter of over 70 years, I’ve seen it all but I’ve never felt so worried as I feel now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anniesland Jag Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Happy enough with Sneddon for another year.Would imagine McCreadie would be loaned out for another year as part of his development leaving 2 experienced keepers in first team.

To echo Fawlty Towers, we have to tighten out belts and survive. 2 years to the youngsters would probably be pretty cheap. The 2 year contract to Bannigan is the only one I would disagree with. Regards Holt, if it true he is off to Arabs FC, then we probably couldn't match them at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to your other points I think we will probably need to take a step back football wise this season but now we have gotten rid of the previous regime and the work that is being done to get things back on track under fan ownership I am actually feeling quite positive about the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks GRE but not buying it surely getting rid of 4 high earners would have been enough to keep Holt, in fact Brownlies wages to Holt would have been enough. We can’t go into a new season with this mindset. Time to hear from the board, stop asking people to buy season tickets until they know what they are buying into.

As rumoured, that these players were offered lesser terms from their old contract, then it is obvious they would turn it down. We have to face the fact that the previous board left us in a financial mess and we now have to within our means, which quite frankly are not big.

Out of all the players that have left , Kevin Holt Is the biggest loss and maybe Tiff but a big chance for Aiden Fitzpatrick to establish himself in Tiffs place Possibly would have kept Danny Mullen who got better as he got fitter and scored important goals for us . The rest of the players who have left won’t be that difficult to replace . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Said it before, will say it again... Fair play to those who called out the previous board. I wasn't one if them. Without that I think the state we're in could have been worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Queens Park have signed Ruaridh Paton. someone we should have been looking to sign. Maybe we were but would have preferred any money for Bannigans second year or money spent on signing a not really required third goalkeeper has went to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
