Lambies Lost Doo Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 We should nip in and try and sign Connoly Junior from under the noses of the DABs. Give QP some compensation, maybe even play a friendly at Hampden. I feel it could be beneficial to have an arrangement with QP over players. We could loan them young players on the fringes of the first team squad and in exchange we could get first shout on their promising players. Agree 100%. We are in a unique position to have a tie up with Queens Park. Their players can only go so far due to the amatuer status. Being in the same city and combining resources in a reciprical agreement could benefit both parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Would such an arrangement contravene their amateur status? I'd imagine that as long as we and not QP were paying a player's wages, amateur status wouldn't be an issue. I've heard it said that QP players are quite well looked after, as amateurs.

Third Lanark Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) I'd imagine that as long as we and not QP were paying a player's wages, amateur status wouldn't be an issue. I've heard it said that QP players are quite well looked after, as amateurs. Ian McCall was very keen to work closely with Gardner Spiers at Queens Park to have a good relationship. Makes perfect sense for us to do this. On another note I see Jags target Aidan Fulton has been made a new contract by Morton, of course would be in their own interests to do that anyway given that because of his age we need to pay compensation for him Edited May 17, 2013 by Third Lanark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cup Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Not a target for us but McMenamin has signed for Celtic Nation even though it was rumoured he was offered a contract by Qots.

kni Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Not a target for us but McMenamin has signed for Celtic Nation even though it was rumoured he was offered a contract by Qots. They play in the Northern League where Christie Elliott once played. Celtic Nation are the new Gretna. "McMenamin, whose goals propelled the now defunct Gretna to the Scottish Premier League, has become Celtic Nation’s first signing under their new management team of Mick Wadsworth and Davie Irons. "The 32-year-old has turned his back on Scottish football because he believes the spark has gone out of the game north of the border... "The game in Scotland is dead as there is no money, and the move to Celtic Nation is something really different for me,” said McMenamin, who has been given a full-time deal."

Members Willjag Posted May 17, 2013 Members Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Any player receiving a wage is a professional, not an amateur. IIRC the Spiders' players can only get expenses. The last Jag to go to Hampden was Ricky Little. In the past, the QP Directors used to employ the players at their place of business. Not so sure that sort of thing goes on now though. QP mainly bring through youngsters these days and they are very good at giving the youngsters first team football early in their careers. This along with the fact that they are highly regarded for bringing through kids and allowing them to move on freely is very attractive. They're simply very good at what they do.

ThickAsThieves Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 A possible coaching role? If its as a player then thats a backward step. If he's coming in as a coach, he'll probably register as a player too, just in case. But yeah, we shouldn't be looking to play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

read'n'yell Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Do we really want someone like Hardie, just a big physical player, coaching our under 21's? Would prefer someone who had a bit more flair and was more technically orientated. Think that serves for a better coach (not necessarily a better manager).
