It really is a mess..... 

What we are witnessing on the pitch is a direct cancerous effect from off the pitch goings on.  The team we have, have shown glimpses that they can play football and I have no doubt that if managed correctly, with the knowledge that there was full unity and the manager had their backs... that results would turn round.  Instead they have nil respect for the manager and full working knowledge that he's not going anywhere.  Add onto this now the news of the board leaving and the players will generally be all over the place, through no full fault of their own.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe we have a league winning squad but we certainly don't have a squad that deserves to be where it is.  Yes there have been injuries, but i'm not buying that excuse as the manager has got 2 full squads to play for... his arguement at the AGM that the younger players aren't quite 'there' yet doesn't stand as if they aren't good enough... then he shouldn't have signed them.

My biggest concern is that the Board haven't acted and seem to be sleep walking until the end of their tenure and letting the new board change things around.  To go out on a positive note, their easiest win would be sacking this imposter and putting someone in the game until end of the season who will be able to motivate a young team.  Dougie Anderson and Eddie Warwick have the abilities to engage and motivate until the end of the season easily.  Yes they are untested, but both have the man management and technical abilities in abundance, while having a relationship with the team.  Would they step in and help until the end of the season? debatable... but would love to hear the board have been looking for replacements. 

Dougie Anderson works for the SFA and therefore can't be employed by a club due to their rules

Exactly. We all knew that would happen

I really couldn't care. But I'm confident that you've got your wires crossed along the way. If Hearts had done everything correctly and wanted Cowie, there's no way they wouldn't have went through with the deal if "Queens didn't have a case". 

 

I'm 100 % confident my wires aren't crossed. But seen as you don't care, you won't be replying. Enjoy the game Mon the Queens

They had no case but Hearts dropped it because they didn't want the bad publicity of being in the right? 

Aye, ok. 

Nothing worse than someone in the know when you're not eh?

If Queens aren't willing to sell him then they obviously have plans for him. Seem to be making an issue out of nothing here. 

I'm merely giving you facts. Queens made a mistake with Cowies contract by failing to offer him a new contract within 14 days of his old one running out. He agreed terms with Hearts only for QOS to threaten Hearts with a law suit (even though they had no case) Hearts didn't want the bad publicity so pulled the plug. So I'm sure your limited brain can understand the issue now?????

He did move, he went to Gretna. 

Bit of a difference signing a full time contract with Hearts and going on loan to Gretna

I'm sure Marv will do what's considered best for the team, he seems the kind not be bothered by hurting players feelings. 

Of course he will. My point was, why stop a player moving to a club if you have no intention of playing him 

[The Queen of the South thread]

Be interesting to see who plays in goals today, Stone or Cowie. If it's Stone, Cowie will be absolutely fuming considering that Queens dashed his hopes of a move to Hearts B team in the summer.

GK from Hearts Stone?

Where’s he off to? Saw this the other day and assumed it was a rumour, but no sign of Main today.

Going back offshore I believe 

[Walking Down The Halbeath Road]

I hear you've lost your Gk coach, Alan Main. Will he be a big miss to you and Deniz?

Wullie has an injury !! 

No he hasn't. The club might say he has to squash rumours. He is not injured

Well why did the chairman not just give him the job as manager not player-manager. Absolute nonsense. To me reason WG is not playing is he is obviously got a few niggles or injuries as when he is available he is either on the bench or starting. 

At this moment in time, Wullie has been told by the chairman that his job is as a manager and not to play. If results don't improve, that stance may change or Wullie might decide, I'll play and get sacked on my terms. He definitely wasn't injured yesterday or has any niggles. He is 100% fit.

...or obey it and achieve results that make it likely you'll lose your first management job and not get another one.

It's a remarkable sounding allegation to me.

That's exactly the dilemma Wullie has got. Remarkable sounding but true, believe me!

No, I don't think he's injured, but such an intervention would be outrageous, and I'd be amazed to learn that it had happened and been accepted.

It's either accept it or walk away from your first management job, knowing you might not get another one.

How do you 'know' this?

Tbh, i thought it was pretty common knowledge. Do you think he's not playing cause he's injured? He's certainly not injured 

[The Queen of the South thread]

Wullie won't be playing any time soon. He's been told by the chairman that he's not to play and concentrate on managing even though it weakens the team. I think I'd be inclined to say, I'm playing and if you sack me at least I'm sacked doing it my way.

O'Connor has been released from Motherwell WG must try and get him he was easily our best loan signing.

Get him Moxon and Reilly that should be WG 3 top targets.

 

We have no chance of Moxon. He's been offered double the wages at Hartlepool than we can offer. And that's just one club that's after him.
