Aye, if you have an academy of any repute, it itself will be getting scouted. Tony Gallagher showed us that reputation at that level can be enough to bring in the wedge. His foray into out first team was short and very poor but still the money came because of that he has achieved prior .
100%. I actually forgot about him, his time with us was so fleeting. It shows we had a rep for producing talent and even Liverpool (who are arguably the best in the world at bringing in players right now) bought into it. It sickened me at the time we binned it, and to this day it still does.

Can't dispute that because out decline has been massive. Very few of them appear to be sellable assets though. They probably do a job but none of them are going to pull in 6 figure sums which is what kept the academy sustainable.
Just having an academy is the big difference to me, at least there is potential to sell, or bring in to the first team. You are always going to have good years and bad. was always the chance of a fluke, like the Connor McGrandles money

Wonder what the ST figures will look like next season, already seen a few say McGlynns appointment will make them renew having decided not to. Think the recruitment will be a big factor for some people though.
I do agree, might even coax a few back who haven't the last few seasons. If he gets us playing with an identity and a bit of heart the PATG numbers will shoot up too.

Not that I was never going to renew my ST, although the thought did cross my mind a few times. But with this slight whiff of optimism, i'm up at 5 in the morning, reading this nonsense and champing at the bit to get it, my auld boys and the new kit. Amazing what a new "manager" can do. COYB.

I mind actually being there when the big man did this. I cannot remember but can anyone confirm it was a wallpapering table he stood on? The more I think of it it couldn't have been as he was some size of a man.
