A lot o chat aboot Williams potentially being returned tae Liverpool. Robson nae impressed wi his attitude and his ‘injury’ that the physios can’t fathom

Gan by the Robson/Burrows press con on YouTube, I dinna think we’ll be selling onybody unless it’s for funny money. Van Veen disnae have tae be a replacement, we will need a big squad tae fight on 2 fronts wi Europe and Domestic. Signing Van Veen as a 3rd striking option and as Watkins’ replacement - bit of no brainer.

Certain fowk in the Club may be playing funny buggers, but, I ken that a journalist wis telt yesterday that, Rodriguez will be announced next week. Funnily enough, P&J has an insight tae Rodriguez in this morning’s paper.

I would happily have a 'proper' Director of Football in place. It would both take some accountability and responsibility away from Cormack. Ideally, though, this should precede the appointment of the next manager, especially if the manager would be reporting into them rather than Cormack. It would probably be a fairly long process, though, and if results continue to slide then the pressure will be on to get a permanent manager in sooner rather than later.
Our approach to reorganising the 'football structure' since 2021 has been a bit odd. That's why I think the criticism of Gunn has maybe been a bit unjustified. His role is still a bit ambiguous to me, but he definitely isn't a DoF in the way that would be recognised in Germany or at some clubs in England. It is like we are in a halfway house between more traditional and modern models, but we have been wanting to shortcut it and don't really want to do the necessary to make the latter work properly. Either that, or Cormack is reluctant to surrender the necessary amount of control at the moment to make it work.
Aye, we’re neither one thing or anither - time tae be brave and radical

The shambles is people believing “leaks” until the facts are confirmed. I fully believe that he should be gone, but he can’t say that he hasn’t been given every chance to save his job.
Hardly a shambles passing on info min, calm yirsel. Players were leaking that he’d been sacked and I was informed that was the case. im convinced that was the decision, until an intervention by a senior player pleading that Goodwin be spared. Check back, I posted there was a reverse park before the announcement fae the club came oot. The identity o that player is your guess as good as mine, but it’s nae hard tae guess who. Would ye nae agree that Cormack’s statement is a poorly drafted, rushed communication? Wonder why? Considering we have somebody on the Board, Ogilvie, that has a PR background. Fitba social media withoot rumours and leaks - how boring

All joking aside. Is that not a very odd statement for the chairman of a professional football club to come out with?

Gone is he, aye? LOL
Totally deserve that, but I did reverse park before the announcement came oot - let’s be clear this is shambolic, players leaking he’s been sacked, decision made, Milne and the fuckin Football Monitoring Committee give him one last chunce. Gets beat on Seterday, he’s sacked, wins but gets beat St Mirren? It’s a shitshow

You haven’t watched the 2 cup games then. So far not really that much better than last year. The 2 foreign attackers rumoured to be coming soon and the 3/4 still to be signed will need a good percentage of them to be quality before Aberdeen challenge for anything notable.
Jist nae getting the hyper critique - so far we’ve shown a lot mair incision in terms of oor general play. Defensively I think Stewart and Scales are an improved pairing and distribution is better. Aye, we’re a work in process and we could do wi a puckle o additions, but, I can see fae this team is going - much improved on last year.

I was also impressed with Ryan Duncan.
I only watched the last 30 minutes but I would say there's still question marks over the central defence.
Early days, and they still need to build a partnership, but Liam Scales didn't look particularly comfortable and Anthony Stewart looked slightly cumbersome and his distribution into midfield was slack at times and would've been punished at Celtic Park on the first day of the league season.
Which is another point, that he'll need to play Bates with Stewart in preparation for that match.
Jury still out on Polvara for me too.
Mmm, apart fae a wee bit slackness in first 10 mins or so fae Stewart, I thought baith centre backs were solid and distribution was varied and mair than decent. I’ll name colours noo, Stewart is gan tae be a colossus for us and Scales will show up tae be a classy centre back.

Guessing Lauritsen isn't one of the ones arriving shortly if he's playing today.
The Norge journo on RTG seemed tae hint that Odd might want tae keep him until the transfer windae opens there in August

Looking like Ange disnae fancy the lad - wid be great if permanent, wid accept a loan tae buy - standard loan wid be disappointing. From the little I’ve seen he looks a player

Before Glass got the bullet, I got some stick on here for arguing for an experienced person tae come in. I also questioned the contribution o Russel. Well, according tae Graham Hunter on the latest ABZ podcast - Glass turned doon the offer of getting an experienced person in tae support him in the winter. And surprise, surprise, some players were nae enamoured wi Russel, he got aff on parking his Ferrari outside the players entrance and appears tae have been a bit of knob that jist didnae tak tae the north east and didnae get his players. Looking back, the club did a disservice tae Glass by giving him too much responsibility too soon, including, in the absence of a Head of recruitment, responsibility tae recruit last summer.

I think you’re right. I never really saw Ramadani as a sitting, defensive midfielder, Robson especially wanted him as a high energy box tae box. Nae saying that is McGrath, but Robson like Clarkson as a 6 - and I widnae be surprised if we saw Williams being used as a 6 sitting deep if required.
