Kuma Power Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 2 hours ago, Broken Algorithms said: Absolute no to Akio from me. We need a higher standard than him. Agree on this. The other thing I'd add is that Akio will be 25 by the time next season starts. In that sense, it's a bit like Frederiksen in that we're not exactly dealing with a raw teenager who might have potential to significantly improve if we give them some game time. Don't get me wrong, I love Akio's attitude and enthusiasm and I hope he finds a club soon*, but with a small squad we can't afford to be having senior players who we need to treat with a kid glove. *I might have mis-heard this, but I think they said on Raith TV that someone from a US team was looking at Akio, so it would't surprise me if he heads back to north America. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I'm just hoping a decent budget can allow us time to get a good proven talisman in. We simply can't afford any more "panic" signings such as fredriksen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he signed after a trial period?? If it turns out he wasn't doing enough to warrant game time, then how the f**k did he pass a trial?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had assumed it was maybe someone further down the divisions but it could be MacDonald if we’re looking for someone to really push Albinson. He gets a fair amount of stick from our fans for being ex-Killie but at the last game at Somerset he was taking it quite well and having a bit of a chat with fans in the SRE during stoppages. Mind you, if Mark Ridgers exploits last night are anything to go by it may well be him that’s joining us. Late to the party but could this be Mehmet? Rumoured that we've tried to give him reduced terms (Peter Grant made him our highest earner ffs). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRFC_Liam Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Would anyone take Callum Smith from Airdrie? He’s out of the contract in the summer plus Ian Murray signed him twice once on loan then permanently, still lives local and has scored goals the last 2 seasons and can play Centrally and Outwide… just putting that name as a suggestion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A larger budget is great as long as it’s affordable. I’m interested to see what they’re looking at behind the scenes to improve revenues as we’ve obviously not been doing great on that front. No doubt we’ll soon find out the new boards ambitions and what strength of squad we’re fielding next season. We’ll definitely need a bit more luck on the injury front as ourselves and Inverness seem to have had some terrible luck this season. Anyone know who’s contracted for next season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be an odd choice to replace Spencer when he’s a forward than can play out wide! I’ve said before, maybe even on this thread, that Smith to Raith in the summer makes a lot of sense. Murray has signed him twice before and his best form has came under Murray, he’s exactly the kind of ridiculously hard-working wide player Murray likes. I think he lives in Cowdenbeath and has a young family, so a move to Raith seems incredibly obvious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well get revenue from pitchside advertising back up and running that's for sure, if it's not already been done Thomson, McNeil Millen Brown, Easton, Stanton, Mathews, Ross, Arnott Gullan, Vaughan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take that as slightly more than this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
