Dunno. ICT may say they will be ok next season but dropping down to L1 would hit them very hard financially compared to a us. Big Dunc wouldnt stay on and lots players likely to move too. Seen time and again FT teams go down and struggle in L1. QotS, Falkirk, Dunfermline.

Only one man for the job.

Playing in Bangladesh now. Mad.

What about a player from the Icelandic league or Uzbekistan?

Currently our starting lineup is GK - TBC RB - Walker CB - Steele and ToB LB - Hamilton RM - Stewart CM - Slater and Gold LM - Dow (but we know he will drift inside to AM) ST - Reilly and Gallagher A decent starting XI.

So confirmed McIntosh can go if he wants too. Have to wait and see what he does then. But 12 players signed. 13 if McIntosh signs. 7 more signings at least

Think they were talking about the hybrid players. Had a few signed on 6 month deal and others on only 1 years.

Any club that played in the SPFL Premiership in the 23/24 season that has not reached the group stages of European competitions. So next season even though Livi will be playing in the Championship they will still recieve these payments but Dundee United will not.

Oh no.

Now that is a good signing

They will also get the Solidarity Payments from UEFA. Could potentially be around £1m

To be honest we should never have been in this situation if we wanted McKenna and Gaston past this season. Letting their contracts to get into the last year was a bad idea and they have chosen to leave rather than stay. Their contracts should have been extended last summer but they were not. As far as i know Gaston was offered a deal to stay. But not as number 1 keeper as McIntyre is wanting a younger keeper to take on the role but have an experienced keeper to challenge for the role. Gaston didnt want to be 2nd choice. Now Gaston is an excellent keeper but he is slowing. Certainly not as agile as before so i can see why McIntyre wants a replacement. Had to happen at some point but at least 1 year too early.

Gaston was offered a deal.

Little, Gaston and McKenna away. 3 big players. 3 big sets of boots to fill.

If thats true, in his time with Arbroath he has travelled enough to reach the moon.

In the same boat. Blind hatred of all things McIntyre makes this thread pretty hard going.

The start of next season is all that matters.

4-1-3-2 narrow.

Boruc Norey, Stewart, Little and Delaney Slater, Mackinnon and Gold. Dow and McIntosh out wide. Bird up front.

Usually when sponsors put money into a club they usually get something back in return. Tickets to games that they can hand to friends/family/employees etc , invites to the boardroom for games, corporate events, etc etc. Just part of the game. Nothing sleekit. And that also includes tables at awards dinners where they get to sell these seats to people they know. Last year i am sure there was a number of seats advertised by the club. This year the tables were all full up. Club has expanded with the womens teams so that has probably ment that there was no extra tables this year to sell to Joe Bloggs as they got a share of the tables. Next time there is a chance to interact with the board at a meeting, if someone is that bothered by not getting a chance to go to the awards, perhaps they can come along and raise the question with the board.

McKenna has been offered a deal. JMc wants to play him up front but he is reluctant as he knows himself he is not as effective at playing up front.

Last time we were relegated from the 2nd Tier, 2002/03, we finished on 3 wins 6 draws and 27 losses. Scored 30 and conceded 77. 15 points in totals. And also papped out of all 3 cups at the first game. We had a 10 game (11 including Rangers in Scot Cup) losing streak. And our lowest attendance home game that season was 381 against Ayr on Tuesday November 5th. At least we have not had as bad a season as that one.
