  5. Enough is enough

    Diluting the meaning of competions, cost to fans no doubt having to shell out on another subscription to watch or the cost paying to see games live. 

    Then theres the Staff, not just players playing more games but the back room staff getting less time with families. Theres going to be next to no breaks for anyone.

    Filling the pockets of fifa and all their buddies. Rich clubs getting further ahead of the other teams in their countries. 

    Theres nothing good about any of this.

    Too late, he’s off to Partick.  We should have started that rumour earlier.

     

    In other news, perhaps a return for Louis Longridge…?

    Hes not signed yet, still a chance. If not then pull out all the stops for El Bakhtaoui.

    Mccann from united would be nice if Edwards is going. 

    Someone said it was mentioned we were looking to keep a few of the loan players. MLW and Kane would be great but I'm more worried it would Benjamin, Holmes and Moffat. 

    Have really noticed much of Glass, I'd certainly be happy with Chalmers. This is more likely a level Mochrie would be happier at but I would say I was overly impressed with his last spell. 

    Hadn't saw Livi signing Muirhead but three in already for them if thats the case. Think Partick have three in now also which is a surprise given they could arguably sign better players if they were to go up.

    The only positive argument on where’s the money going is that we’ll suddenly have a world class academy which will fund itself as well as a good first team.

    I’m far from convinced that will work.

    I don't think thats ever been a claim out with stuff I'm being told halfwits are posting on dotnet. Not a dig at you. Its about being sustainable. People get a bit carried away.

    Its a training facility to bring everyone together 1st through the different ages levels (or academy). The short fall is we aren't paying to use other facilities so that should pay the losses after 3/4 years (on my assumption) on charges elsewhere and that the facilities will pay for themselves in the long run, the hope is bring players through for the 1st team and then hopefully creating players we can sell on.

    We are also looking to bring in other young players to move on (KRH, Otto and Fisher as examples). 

    The assumption of a world class academy your right it will fail, we aren't Liverpool, Man city, Man u etc.... Rangers MK2 and Celtic can't do with even more money.

    Have to say I'm disappointed by 6th place, We should have had 5th sorted three games ago and frankly I think we have bottled it.   

    Management did, not sure about the team. Granted 1/3 of the squad sadly aren't good enough the tactics have been shocking. Fair enough being cautious when players were out, theres been no justification since the main ones came back.

    All the talk of big summer ahead hasn't come across as massive squad changes, I think hes telling the players to adjust to the formation and tactics.

    If so hes ****ing against the wind. I hope I'm wrong, I'd have bit your hand off for 6th at the start of the season, feel like we've shot ourselves in the foot every chance of top 4. A couple of contracts, Summer window, injuries, jan window, injuries, tactics, loan window and again tactics.

    Any word on Memhet?

    Looking at McPakes comments, I think he was looking to rest some of the players returning from injury as they looked tired and performance levels had dropped. Hence no Bene, KRH, Todd and Jakubiak.

    Thats fair enough, Holmes tho and the Chalmers/Allan combo. Not so much.

    Whilst he’s not been great, one thing that can’t be levelled at MOH is his work rate 

    Exactly, its hard to judge when hes hardly played in his position too. Pars fans love the lazy tag. Mccann, Wighton and Chalmers get it at some point. 

    I wouldn't describe any of those lazy.

    I'd like to keep Allan, he offers a bit more than Chalmers, younger and far better with set pieces. Jakubiak I think offers us more than Wighton (Hard to judge but mostly injured in some form) or Mccann (Needs some decent coaching).

    unfortunately its Wighton and Chalmers who still have contracts.

    Benjamin, Holmes, Summers and Moffat. The first two aren't anywhere near any standard for this level, Summers doesn't fit in at all bit like Mochrie last season. Moffats very fleeting but in the wrong position. 

    Kane and MFW would be keeps if possible and Miles would be good but only on a free.

    Memhet we are stuck with for now, I though Little was out of contract this year?

    O'Halloran is a paradox, why did we sign him? He's not a wing back and we won't play him up front.
