EdinburghLivi Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Presumably John Ward and the consortium who took over in 2017. Can't remember the other partners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's David Martindale's money laundering business. Or it's John Ward's considering it was registered at the same time he took over, but I'm sure you've already made your mind up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Got up this morning and checked the club website to make sure it wasn't just a dream yesterday, yep it was real. we have signed Ryan Hardie on loan for a whole season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpire Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Getting slightly concerned about the manager situation - we keep pushing back the deadline and clearly K Miller doesn't really want it or he would have said yes already. Long it goes on the more disruptive its going to be when one does come in. If Miller says no on Wednesday now, then what? Holt? If he doesn't want it then we are in real trouble (or just give it to Martindale anyway)! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Mill Out Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 So is that Livi back to being a shambles after an impressive two seasons? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manager wise - don't think its been handled that well... If we were waiting on a manager to get our squad signed up then i'd be worried, we aren't though so not really bothered. Will have to see what the new manager's role actually is, how much input he'll have etc, from what I've read though I can't see him making any changes to how we successfully won promotion last season, and if that has made us take this amount of time to get the right guy in then fine. Last thing we wanted was a guy with his own ideas wanting to change how we play and feck everything up (John Hughes type of signing). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my concern - surely every manager wants to come in an put his stamp on things and the sooner that happens the better. If he doesn't then whats the point in having him... just give it to martindale 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why we have taken as long to appoint a manager, others applying would've done what you're saying. John Ward said the manager would have to fit in to our footballing philosophy, not the other way around. I don't think you can fully commit to managing and playing, one of those has to suffer for the other, if Miller wants to play then Martindale is going to be more involved on the touchline, which would prob suit both of them. Whatever the dynamic is going to be, i'm sure it will be discussed before the appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Kenny Miller either wants it or he doesn’t. Given he already seems to have a propensity for being a wee shit in the dressing room, I’m really struggling to see how his apparent ego is compatible with our collective mentality of having a strong bond as a squad. My fear now is that Gary Holt tells us to do one. Then what? Gavin Skelton or Gregg Ryder? Not exactly inspiring confidence tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Was about to come on and say similar. Would hope we've still been talking to Holt and all the carry on with Miller we could tell him to do one. Think it's more likely to be like what Afro says above; talks break down between ourselves and Miller, likely over wage; Holt no longer interested; we get Jim Duffy and are relegated by Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of top flight experience, fairly proven but still relatively young. Also, in a position that we still need to address. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then sift through the candidates to find the suitable one and begin talks. There was talk last week that the rubber stamp would be put on things today with a view to announcing by Thursday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
