ATLIS

Really down to the shit choice of date, and time. 2pm midweek kickoff in Inverness is the dumbest thing I've heard for a while

I'm honestly fairly embarrassed for the club and players, it wasn't that long ago that they all shelled out to buy a drum to create atmosphere during the games. It's still sitting behind the reception having never been picked up, I'd completely forgot about it until I had to ask. Anyone fancy picking it up?

I don't really know of another CB who's comparable to him in this league

Halkett easily the best CB in the Championship by some way, absolutely solid defender who rarely makes mistakes and chips in with goals. Joint top for us now I think.

All three been offered two year deals

100% those three have been offered 2 year deals.

We're officially out the race, he's going to either ICT or Raith, ICT offered a house and double what we'd pay He's been offered a 2 year extension, not much more you need to know We run on a small scale full time operation, there's some part time teams that offer more wages than us easily. Given our wage cap is roughly 500pw I doubt we're living outwith our means

It seems like you know everything about what goes on inside the club, care to elaborate? As far as I know the debt owned to previous directors are either gone or very reduced now. We've had a budget and stuck to it, what more do you want? We won't be racking up debt as is and we're performing well. I'm failing to see what there is to be negative about right now as a Livi fan????

Hearing ICT have offered a house as part of the signing on fee, really going all out for him apparently

I think Ward has the best intentions, and is running us as such. I don't think we're living outwith our means, or in a way that will harm the club long term

I don't know why you're being so negative honestly. We're in the best place we've been for a good 7 or 8 years, possibly even 10. That's competitively and financially. Be happy we're still here and doing well - if players leave that's fine. We have a manager with a great track record for replacing and bringing in players, I don't think he's actually really made many bad signings at all.

I would've been delighted had he signed for us, highly rated - Aberdeen and Motherwell wanted him not too long ago. Lost a bit of form but a tall fast striker with a decent goal record not much to sniff at, apparently between ICT and Raith for him. Highest we likely would've offered is 400 or so a week, so guessing he'd be pushing 1k+ at ICT/Raith

Austin about to sign for you guys apparently, agreed a deal with us but you lot offered a 'substantial' amount more - likely double and a bit what we did

Players will leave, but I trust Hopkin's recruitment.

Massive bite there mate

Like a broken record. Must be the worries of Falkirk going under setting in

We're The Amber Machine, and to the Premier League we go....

You'll go bust before we do

Heard Pittman signed a two year extension

Aye, just to balance it - I've heard we're losing Pittman, getting Austin and Penrice is telling Partick to do one and signing a big amber PCA in January and promptly protesting on top of the Macaroni Bowl screaming "this is my home now"

I wonder what the long term plan is. To be challenging playoffs for Premier League or just to be safe in the Championship?

Doubt that, the home game's will still come so it's not as if the money won't ever come into the club A year and a half ago I would've believed it but trust Ward to keep us stable and in a good place financially

Starting to get a bit worried about the lack of news coming out the club regarding contracts. Surely we should be doing all we can to keep Halkett etc.. A fair bit of the players can sign a PCA in January and there won't be a shortage of clubs looking at them given our start so far. A bit of communication would be great but I'm sure a decent amount of the players will be looking to move on which is worrying given we might be looking at a big job of replacing certain players.

Penrice should be coming back for you guys, what a player he is. Absolutely baller every game, strolls through and is brilliant on the ball at LM. Will be wasted if he's played at LB. Would love to keep him, heard he's out of contract in the summer though

Feel the same about Longridge, on the fence about Cadden. Here's hoping we take someone in on loan to fill the space. On another note, I'm excited about Boyd. Looks shit hot. Looks like for like a replacement for Mullen. Penrice out of contract in the summer though Bring him home Hoppy....
