It's completely driving it. It definitely isn't a blank cheque and Haughey has given us a specific budget for the next 8 years to fund full time football 

Hopefully we'll know more about the rest of the club's finances and operations  after the AGM next month

If Ray McKinnon was not sacked, why did he leave? Money reasons, perhaps?

The great unknown is the club's current financial position. Willie Haughey has not provided a blank cheque and a great deal of money has been spent. To what extent is finance dictating the direction in which the club is travelling?

A couple of bits of artwork have appeared which you may not have seen:

This appeared on the wall of Lesser Hampden in the lead up to Rememberance Sunday last November. Edwin Garvie was one of the clubs players who was killed on the Western Front in the First World War. No idea who added it or the relevance of "Sing for the boys" though.

 Also, over in Shawlands in an alley just across from the Granary on Kilmarnock Road is a mural of Andrew Watson, captain of the Scottish Cup winning teams in 1880, 81 and 82. This was organised by an anti-racism project.

Young Rangers fans were responsible for the artwork at Lesser Hampden. They did the same at Firhill and some of the Thistle fans were none too impressed.

It's very easy to blame the manager for the team's failings. The simple truth is that Queen's are no longer able to recruit sufficient players of the quality required to do other than struggle in the SPFL.

Are you suggesting he (she?)  has insider information, or is just making slightly more educated guesses than his colleagues in the Fourth Estate?

I was simply trying to make the point that the journalist concerned has Queen's Park's best interests at heart.
