jaggybunnet Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Is this the same Brian Graham who said he was going to do his best to make sure Morton won the league cos they were the best team in the league and would be worthy champions ? Sorry Brian but my memory is a bit better than a lot of folk on here.I for one will not be welcoming you to Firhill. who cares.....apart from you and so there for who cares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThickAsThieves Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Are you joking? Former Morton player says he hopes Morton win the league rather than a team he's got no connection to, and you're upset about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindau Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I was hoping for a link to the Record. What I quoted was a word for word quote from Brian Graham in Mondays Record before we played them. I have said countless times this season that I think Graham could do a good job at Firhill, so the quote isnt made up, its what he was quoted as saying!! Give me two from McAllister, Graham and May and I will be more than happy with our striking options (if Dools stays) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 The players and Archie are away to Magaluf today so I doubt anything will be happening in the next week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 The players and Archie are away to Magaluf today so I doubt anything will be happening in the next week or so. They might turn up back in Glasgow with Juan Ramos Escalas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kni Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) The players and Archie are away to Magaluf today so I doubt anything will be happening in the next week or so. Ian Maxwell deals with the contracts after Archie makes the offers. Presumably, he has taken his mobile to Magaluf.

Lindau Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hope they are back by Monday as Nicky Clark has said in todays papers that the QOTS boys are heading out there on Monday. Could see a few battles on the beaches after the Aero cup final episode...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bunny Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Looks like action is suspended till they get back from the break. I guess this means we're looking to sign a few guys who will be let go from SPL clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky jag Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I reckon thats inclusive of promotion clauses that some players might have. And plus, im guessin our players are pn peanuts, so by doubling our budget i still think we'll have by far the lowest budget in league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggests to me our squad will not be that much bigger than last year. Maybe we can make up the numbers with some loan players where we can get half the wages paid or something.

Lenziejag Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I doubt the current set of players will get a doubling of their wages. I would expect them to get a decent wage hike 10 or 15 %, which will leave a good amt to add to the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all assume our players get paid in buttons and fluff. But we need to be paying wages commensurate with similar sized SPL teams in order to get a squad good enough to hopefully stay up - so maybe this means we will be doubling the wages of our current squad just to 'level up'!

I take it that you agree that most of our squad next season will be the same as this season. Paying them more doesn't make them better. My point is that most people would be happy with a 10 to 15 % increase - so doubling the wage wouldn't be necessary. The players need to be told that we need to live within our means to avoid going the way of Dunfermline and Hearts. I am not sure that even doubling the wage would 'level up' since Erskine and Paton are going to DU for considerably more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
