Two big sliding doors moments in our season for sure. Yes, we could have won either/ both of those games and banked considerably more money, but that would have led to either of our previous incumbents remaining in post longer than they did which could quite literally have been catastrophic. It's a sore yin which we will feel financially for a while yet due to missing out and their subsequent pay offs, but in terms of where we are now as Ketts' free scoring fitba gods instead of the early season relegation certainties we surely were, I'll take it.
I said before, if we didn't have that cold snap in December the St Mirren game postponed due to burst pipes would have, on form, probably been a loss. As it turned out it was Ketts first and was the start of the revolution. A home defeat against a fellow diddy would have potentially not given Hammy the grace he then got till Raith as you'd have had an extra week of clamouring for his P45.
The prize money should have asterisks and footnotes to show how much of it was used as Golden Handshakes to pay off the failure for the 2 respective gaffers.

This is daft - how did we manage to get nearly half a million out of the Sligo fiasco?
From memory it’s about €350k Euros per tie plus you get money from UEFA for travelling expenses.
I get the table shows prize money but that £478k would probably be total awarded by UEFA.
Just annoying as that winnable two legged tie and Raith in the Scottish Cup would have been an extra +£1m (cumulative with gate revenue) in the hippy.

Here me out, since the broadcaster, SFA, Doncaster and their fans only have interest them and circumventing pyramids, create 8 new regional teams and form a new breakaway top tier. Since all they care about bragging rights, the them and us thing, singing about wars in other countries let them do so 20x a season. Let the bile pound flow.
For the 16 games against fellow brethren, they can try out tifo'ing each others all black wearing paramilitary ultras with scarves knotted mid nipple. The Green clubs are contractually obliged to steal other songs synonymous with English clubs, "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles", "The Liquidator", etc. The Blues unfortunately are not afforded credit terms and must pay for everything up front.
Saves on the charade of Sky sending cameras to Almondvale or SMiSA to adhere to any obligations. All games hosted at Ibrox and Parkhead, Chris Sutton and Fat Sally/Chris Boyd mud wrestle in a paddling pool at half time.

The rest of us can compete in a competitive 16 team 2nd tier where in theory anyone can win it on opening day, you know ...... sport. The arrangement is they get the champions League spot and playoff until Putin is deposed. The rest of us get the 3 other diddy UEFA places. I actually think the authorities, Tories and a good number of their fans would buy in.

What’s the best bit of Strathclyde country park for dog walking?Motherwell thread collectively nods and winks at “dog walking”.
There’s a roundabout near the Roman Baths that heads up the hill to Bellshill. In among those trees and stuff is the most dog friendly, unless it’s a wee fat thing your Mrs carries round in a handbag then the far side between the water sports centre and and the starting tower for the rowing.

Dundee Utd are literally the worst run club (not) in the league - I'm sure most Arabs would agree that they are the case study into how not to do it and we are not in that bracket by any stretch IMO.
I think we suffered from a bit of "drift"/taking the eye of the ball/whatever you want to call it - and (very similar to the first team) we can't cope if we lose key staff in a short period of time. I don't think anything is fundamentally broken.
I'm hoping that one of the first things on the new guy's to-do list is to look at the structure of the non-playing side with fresh eyes and not be influenced by what's been done in the past.
Maybe your confusing me citing Dundee United based on size and turnover and not on capability which is separate.
My point was about if they were adequately resourced and people doing various jobs beyond their remit not if those in the job were adept at it which is a different issue.

Question is has this sort of thing gone/goes on at similar sized clubs? (Dundee United and Kilmarnock).
If we’re unique in this then we really need to have a reassessment of the status quo.

Was formulating a response then read @Al B post and it pretty much covered everything better than I could.
Flao handed his notice in 6 months ago (at least) we sat on it and Aberdeen pushed the announcement. Regardless we’ve been looking to fill two media positions for over a year.
Evidently the people there have had their positions diluted to cover and our temp CEO while extremely capable is diluting his time at a £8m turnover business with his other commitments.
Can’t remember who said it before all the above isn’t really surprising when the job descriptions are looking for the equivalent of director general of the BBC, Saachi & Saachi head creative and Lord Alan Sugar.
Time the club did what it does with the vast majority of its onfield talent recruitment and appoint people with promise and drive rather than the finished product as we can’t afford the latter. While not ideal and may need a bit of hand holding the former is better than the vacuum that currently exists.
@crazylegsjoe_mfc we discussed the season ticket stuff a few weeks back and we’re none the wiser if the delay in pay at the gate prices is to boost season tickets, hinder them or just firefighting with a water pistol in the Chapman.

Short old off season this eh? When do they report back 3 weeks?

My take on that retained list was as expected, the biggest job for Kettlewell will be moving on players who aren't out of contract.
We seem to have extended the deals of O'Donnell, McGinn, Mahon and Efford on the fly. I'm guessing that O'Donnell and McGinn were activated by clauses, hence no official announcement. With Efford, I'm assuming we are either doing the right thing, or Kettlewell thinks there is a player there.
With the out of contract players, I reckon we have offered Cornelius and Johnston deals (which they've no intention of signing) to protect our compensation rights. Beyond that, I see Goss and Casey being offered deals, which I think there's more chance of Goss signing than Casey.
I think there's also a chance some of those deals could have been done under the previous regime. McGinn fair enough, Mahon he'll be buttons, Efford a lot hangs on that purple patch, SOD is good value corporately but he's had more bad games in C&A than good, but yeah how he's used/sytems yadda yadda etc..
Still a lot of bit part players in a quite bloated squad. Final role of the dice fo Maguire and Shields or seaside leagues for them.
But as far as lists go, it offer littles tangible information.

@Kapowzer Accies with 3 top 6 finishes? i think not.
Copied down from the one above which didn't have them in order left to right. They got the Livi column.

Can you do "post-split top six games won" next?
Thank you.
Ha, you're trying to get the denizens of Paisley out for you with their pitchforks after their internal audit ..... nope and I think that's my last, the changes in averages now we're in year 23 are so minimal that there's no point doing it for 10 years.

Updated for 2022/23. Highlights include:
St Mirren get top 6 for the first time since the league split was introduced and have the biggest improvement (+0.28*). They could overhaul Dundee next year if they ensure there is a 5 league place difference.
The Champions take a whole .01 off their average.
Aberdeen improve modestly in the average but massively from last seasons 10th place. Courtesy of the Robson revival post Darvel, a bronze medal and €4.5m UEFA windfall.
The best the Arabs can do next season (13th) is 8.46, not allowing their nearest rival in Perth to overtake them even with a league win.
HIbs draw level with Motherwell on top 6's (which is madness).
FInally, Accies championship playoff and drop means the best they can achieve next season is 23 means they drop 0.24 and an average of just over 16th place. Probably about time to consign them not being worthy of a place.
*The Cinch Fan Club's record since their inception in 2012 has improved by a whopping .70 but as their fans and media like to count pre-2012 stuff so it is only 0.15, put those cigars away peepul.

The fact that Calum Butcher speaks quietly makes him much scarier - having someone telling you sotto voce that they're going to break your legs in the next tackle would be far, far worse than some sort of Ryan Porteus daft as a brush type shouting it in your ear.
23 of 25 SPFL strikers can testify to this. It would be 22 but Mandron said “Bonjour” to him and he went on the list.
