In the unlikely scenario that sacking Farrell and his staff would set you back even £15k, that's likely to be around 10% of your playing budget or thereabouts. That's a big blow of course but would you rather entrust Farrell with that £15k or roll the dice and give a different manager a smaller budget? It's a nonsense argument to suggest that it can't be done, and if the same logic was universally true then no manager would ever be sacked in the lower leagues.

But thanks
I mean on a purely sporting level it'd normally be a GIRFUY job from me for any relegated team, but it's hard not to be sympathetic when Dumbarton are teetering through no real fault of their own. A flimsy relegation into the bottom tier is usually a daunting enough prospect post-pyramid without a bunch of shysters in the background trying to shaft a club out of key income streams and its home.

Tough luck Sons fans, hope things improve across the board for you and sharpish. Things looking really bleak for you through the dealings of shady arseholes; never nice to see a diddy wee club like my own being strangled by such characters.

Has Ian Murray brought Jay Cantley on yet? Need to keep Currie fit for another spectacular play-off bottle job next season

Don't think McGeever is realistically attainable, as much as he'd be a decent addition. We should absolutely be asking Craig Howie what he's planning, though. As far as other Dumbarton players go, I'd hope we would be making serious enquiries about Joe McKee as soon as the final whistle blows tomorrow. I'd like to see Syvertsen back too, but it would really have to be a contract structured heavily towards appearances for that gamble to be worth taking. Duthie and Pignatiello are others who'd be good pick-ups IMO, both quite versatile and two of Dumbarton's better players. I don't have enough of a recollection of George Stanger to argue for or against a sniff around him.

Andrew and McGrath confirmed as away, while it sounds like Kennedy will be staying. Can't complain about the former two - if Andrew was on absolute buttons, would he maybe have been worth holding on to? - but I'd be more than a bit concerned if we end up with all three of Gomis, Grant and Kennedy signed up.

Lovely stuff. Didn't expect his career to have stalled quite like it has, and he's not a world beater, but I'm sure Lennon will get the best out of him again. Absolutely loved him in his first spell with us!

Rumsby 3 year deal incoming!

It's unbelievable that we're going into our fourth season in League One and have had such a slap-dash approach to squad-building that we're going to shed at least fifteen players, with three of the four already contracted for next year also not good enough. There'll have to be some amount of groundwork already in place for us to avoid anything but a repeat of this season.

Ach, who wants to go up to a League with Clyde in it anyway...
I'd say you do, given our rent-free occupancy of your head in the past half a decade. Hopefully your dream comes true!

Should be a clean sweep for Splaine, at least he's picked up the players' one. The most important retention for us this close season so I hope he fancies sticking around.

It would appear that Berwick have ditched Balatoni already

Evicted for dug racing and now evicted for idolising rapists. A new low.

"Greenmachine" still droning on about a nothing win over Clyde about six months on. I was worried that we were now a diddy club but the extent of his hard-on shows that it was the best day of his life. Fair play!

You know very well the point. And I am fuming. At my own club, yes. But I will rest easy knowing my club aren’t rape apologists. So whatever the footballing landscape, we’ll always have the one-up on you for that. Which suits me just fine.
Smashing. You'll need a good rest up before your arduous journey to the Lowland League. Choo-choo!
Just now, Bring Back Paddy Flannery said:I still look at the Clyde squad and wonder how the hell Danny Lennon managed to keep them up. It probably has a lot to do with us appointing an absolute diddy.
I don't think Lennon would've done any better with Dumbarton's squad, but it really would've been a spectacle to see how Farrell fared with ours. Derby-esque points tally at best, IMO.

Good one. And totally bodyswerving the point. Just like your club and that repugnant thing.
Whatever point it is you're trying to make, it's heavily obscured by the tears and snotters. I'd be fuming too, don't worry!

Well played to Dumbarton today, and although obscenely jealous of you all, it must've been wonderful to be back at the football in the sunshine with your team dishing out a doing. A few more additions and you'll have a good shout at 8th for sure.
And so it proved.

Bogheidsgone!

I really don't think they'll be too dissimilar to last season's play-offs if you lot do end up having to go through them. You're at least scoring goals at the moment and I wouldn't be especially fearful of any of the League Two sides - a month ago I'd have fancied Annan heavily, but they've wobbled a fair bit recently. I'd give you a reasonable chance of staying up as things stand.

Been an awful season in many ways but fair play to Danny and a limited group of players who've pulled out some big results and gutsy performances when the pressure's been on. Time to put everything into recruitment and get it right this time; much more energy required right through the squad, at a minimum.

Monday being dropped while Jones and Page start is a bit of a farce; he was anonymous last week, but being shunted out wide of a gang is always going to go that way. Splaine will be a big miss.

Don't want to burn too many calories appraising those wasters, but that was one of the worst Clyde performances I've ever endured. Huge credit to Aaron Splaine who had a pretty poor game but didn't utterly chuck it like many around him. That Dumbarton result is absolutely horrific news for us and I must admit, I've gone from thinking we would coast to safety at kick-off to now thinking it'll come down to a last-day shootout for 8th.

This is unspeakably bad. It really is remarkable that we're all but safe. It's bad enough up in the stand but Jamieson must be the most fed up person in the stadium - our chances of seeing him again are slim to none.

Announce a five-year deal for Monday Samuel now.
