    Espresso or macchiato till noon, tea in the afternoon

    My In-laws were staying used my last tea bags and then bought PG Tips as a replacement

    That stuff's only good for Londoners and Chimpanzees



     

    You need to match your tea with your water.

    Scottish Blend for Scottish Water imo

    I think there would be this season. We apparently tried to make Deas one of our highest earners and Killie more than doubled it.

    There's every chance our wage bill this season is higher than yours too.

    it would surprise me if St Johnstone were paying more than us. We had a large amount of dead wood to clear out and that costs money.  One of the reasons for such large losses in the last two seasons has been the turnover of playing/coaching being turfed out.

    Do you really believe Killie are paying out twice as much as St Johnstone? Sounds like some Eric Nicholson chat. No doubt Killie are paying more in wages than Saintees but not that much. And they only signed Deas on a 2 year deal so if they pushed the boat out they didn't secure him for long.

    One reason we were not in the running for Van Veen was that we got knocked out the cup by Morton. We made an offer, which was probably more than fair but got outbid by Killie and St Mirren. Killie probably not feeling great about funding big Kev's semi retirement.

    I which case sack the useless b*astard 😂.

    In all seriousness I think it is accepted that the budget was cut for this season. I think I would be safe in assuming that all teams that are currently above us in the league will have a higher player wage bill. 

     

    Look if we were actually as hard up for wages as people think we wouldn't be signing guys like Moses or Callan Elliot. They have money to spend at Fir Park and continue to do so. 

    We spend roughly the same as similar teams. There is no huge difference between the wages we pay and what Killie and St Mirren are paying.

  4. I think there is some covenient memory holes here.

    Kettlewell had some absolutely stinking line ups. Particularly playing a 2 man midfield of Spittal and Paton for a few games.

    There were several games where we had zero attacking threat until we piled forward in the last 10 minutes. 

    McGinn at left wing back would be another move he pulled out a few times and it never worked, he couldn't even play right wing back.

    Is Kettlewell a good enough manager to get us back into the top 6 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Redemption for the previous Dingwall visit.  Lots of calls for his head that night but was that the only stinker of the season? 

    If it was the only stinker we wouldn't be bottom 6.

    We rescued a lot of draws from bad performances. Particularly against St Johnstone. Biereth last minnute equaliser was huge because we had been completely shite but we stopped them getting the win.
