I think we'd need to offer stupid money to get Lafferty. Even at this stage of his career he'll be looking for 2K a week...

The Fraser Aird award...

I had an American pal come over a few years back. We were walking through Stirling and he asked what the number (1123 or something) was on the house wall. I said 'it's been there since 1123' and he just looked stunned. Forget sometimes how old Scotland is as a real country with actual institutions.

The only natural move he'd have from Clyde would be Livingston

Don't want to go all Maude Flanders here but the fact so many of our fans think this would be good, shows just how far we have to go with the 'Educate Your Sons' movement and at least try to curb the scandalous level of violence against women in society.

I'm not ITK in any way but would be astonished if we signed someone with that baggage. It does sound like Internet pish.

It's not entirely irrelevant. There's many fans who wouldn't attend games if he signs. And that could be for what...3 years. So are you going to continue to pay FSS monthly if you can't/won't attend games. Maybe, but it's harder for people to justify I think.

Surely to f**k we wouldn't be insane enough to sign Goodwillie? That might be a worse call than appointing Holt and Sheerin combined

Halle Berry Fucking Looyah Well done new board...

Correct. Jefferies and Brown both did stupid miles driving to England midweeks to watch reserve football. We got several of our best players from them going to watch someone else and seeing the guy they signed instead- I'm sure Neil Duffy was just such an example. Possibly Cadette too. That's by far the best way to build a squad. There's no fucking way Holt travels beyond his patio to watch a player. It's hard work but it's not that complicated to sign much much better than the fucking shite that's in this squad.

The concern is if anyone in charge thinks tinkering around with 1/2 signings will get the job done.. At least 7 of this current side cannot start another game post window.

I don't believe we'd currently beat The Shire. Genuinely.

I get what you tell trying to say but it only makes sense if those on the board already know the names are a significant step up in quality. I'm not sure how we can have scouted and had in place a number of names for Jan though as we didn't know we had the Patreon money to spend until very recently.

I never got the positivity with Rennie's arrival. The best attribute he had was that he isn't Sheerin. It seems and seemed a massive gamble. Bringing in a real left field punt to try and eke out more from the utter garbage we have. I'm still hoping he has enough about him to keep us up but I'd say relegation is a very real possibility. Absolutely fucked off that Holt is still stinking the place out. He'll bring in more shit in January and the patreon cash will be pissed up a wall trying to cling on to L1 survival. League One fucking survival! We were told to give the new board time to empty Holt properly vis a vis employment law. Time is up.

Entitled to your opinion. I disagree on Dixon (but am fine with keeping him til June - being the best defender on our books is like being the best looking woman in Fife) I've been quite vocal that Sheerin is a clueless clown but it could well be Krasniqi is miles away from being a starter even at this level. We'll see what Rennie thinks. Lemon has had more than one howler. Very raw and may well ve worth developing with a few seasons on the fringes or out on loan. He can't possibly be a starter imo if we are to solidify.

Think you're right. So far we've managed to win against teams that were going through hideous runs of form. The kind of run we're now in the middle of. The teams above us we'll struggle to get anything from. QP, Cove, Montrose (!) all look vastly superior. And do you trust this squad to battle to wins against Clyde and East Fife? Mmm. We have a bit of a left field manager coming in from the US, who may be good or may be another Ian Cathro, so it's crossed fingers time. You wouldn't be too surprised if this season ended in relegation at this point.

Well yes. Not saying he's good but he clearly has to come back into this squad given how bad it is, and he's already our player so will cost nothing. Mind you, given he's playing in a better team and a better league he might down tools and say f**k that if we force him to come back and lead this shit to L1 survival.

Maybe re Krasniqi.. certainly wouldn't trust Loser Sheerin's opinion that he's unplayable. So from that stinking carcass of a squad Rennie has to bring in 3/4 in Jan then somehow get competence from the rest until the summer full clear out Means something like Mutch/Martin R. Williamson (if ever fit) New New Dixon Nesbit Telfer New Morrison New Dowds 4 starters arriving in Jan should be possible if we correctly use the loan market. Very difficult though.

Sorry but the 'we can't just keep replacing entire squads every year' argument is exactly the same as the 'we can't sack the worst manager in the club's history just in case people think we sack managers' We have to draw out a financial plan that sees us lose all of the below players in the next 6 months, between Jan and June windows :- priority - Holt, Hall, McKay, Miller, Hetherington, Ross, Ruth, McDaid, Dixon, Ompreon, McGuffie, Wilson, Krasniqi Could be kept at a push - R Williamson, McCann, Keena, Mutch, Martin, C Williamson, Morrison, Telfer, Nesbit, Lemon (edging toward priority), Weekes, Dowds So there's 13 who have to go between now and June 2022. 3 loans - they can get to f**k early in Jan. Of the other 10 we need to clearly decide who goes in Jan and who goes in June once we hopefully limp to L1 survival. Its critical none of that list is here next season.

You've still yet to justify your 'neutral on the managers' gem....

All that and he wasted a wage signing his son. A player who was never ever going to start a game for us. I dont even care if its £100 a week. Disgusting.

I was thinking the exact same thing last night- seems a really bizarre gamble. But then you think its only to the end of the season. If he's shite we punt him. If he's decent we keep him on. As long as we sign the right players in January we should stay in L1 regardless of the manager. Even the worst manager in our history beat Clyde and Dumbarton. It's a fresh face and a no lose gamble I'd say

Just saying that above. It's totally head scratching. We get beasted weekly but never budge from 5th.

Sorry but what the f**k? Sheerin is the worst manager in our history. Rennie hasn't managed a day for us yet and it isn't clear Holt had the slightest thing to do with his hiring

We need to already be identifying the 6 or 7 to come in in January.. 2 or 3 loans and some frees. The longer Holt remains at the club the more difficult that becomes.
