We drew 0-0 at home against BOD at the end of Feb. He put on Grady with 3 minutes of the game remaining. That meant that he had dropped 11 points in his first 13 games in charge. For me that was the time as we still had 10 games remaining and we could have gone back to the combination of Simmons/ McHattie (who had been interims before Price was appointed)

Nail on head

Honestly don't know how much it is.Was hoping maybe give Brechin a few young players on loan and do some sort of deal.

It is up to the clubs to agree a fee, if they can’t agree, it goes to a tribunal.

Think you'll find it was 5 HL games and in 3 of these he played circa 30 mins not 10 

Check the stats if you like, not difficult to do

Grady was left out of the starting line up in 11 league games. Once under Kirk and 10 times by Price.

We certainly won't be able to maintain the current wage bill therefore I think that some of the experienced guys will have to go. We keep signing young players and then letting them go out on loan without giving them a proper run.

In my opinion we should have kept Chris Mudie and Spencer Moreland ( still a signed player).The loan players Strachan , Wright and Richardson have not lived up to expectations either. I just hope Sparky signs a new deal and I would also keep Cruicky. He gives his heart and soul for the club but has hardly played any minutes this season.

Completely agree and would add that we should have kept Ewan Murray. His signings, if anything, have made the team worse rather than better, there really wasn’t much wrong at all and for some reason he pretty much dismantled Kirk’s team and style of play, what a mess.

Very poor comments by the manager on the match preview. Basically saying its all the players fault nothing to do with him 

Totally agree. Basically putting down to a lack of effort, total nonsense imo. The style of play(or complete lack of it and just humping the ball from back to front and hoping for the best is the problem) combined with the constant changes of personnel and formation along with ridiculous substitutions is the biggest problem. Had 4 ch on Wednesday including one at right wing back!

What a mess this manager has created, incredible really. Inherited a team more than capable of winning the league imo and has for some reason, completely dismantled it, bringing in several players who are mostly proving to be worse than the guys they’ve replaced. Get Simmo in charge for the last 5 games and hope for the best.

Agents are always trustworthy individuals 

Grady cannot sign a pre contract with anyone as he’s only 21. You have to be over 23. There is no reason he isn’t starting other than the manager preferring others.

I bet there's more to it, is he refusing to train because they won't release him or something?

Absolutely nothing more to it. Grady hasn’t missed a training session the whole time he’s been there. He is desperate to play but the manager prefers others and doesn’t rate him, that’s all there is to it
