And no I wasn't able to get there unfortunately. Or are you referring to the Airdrie game? In which case I was. If you'd been there you'd have seen the sprinkler system at work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Maybe it did. I wouldn't say he was overly keen for getting involved with the fans and town etc but would that have made him any better as a manager if he did. He had a job to do and granted it didn't work the firs time but that made him even more determined because he was getting seriously desperate. If he had failed this season by either missing out on promotion or being sacked mid season then any chance of a career in full time football was gone for a long time. He wasn't the given the tools he felt he needed for the job and walked. This is now on the BoD and owner of the club IMO. Do they make the job attractive and magic up some funds from somewhere or do they keep to the rule they've set and hope we can get a new manager who can work under these conditions? Yes."and granted he didn't do it" ftfy.The rest is your usual nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 What's the story with the cash from the supporters club? It was alluded to earlier and I heard something today about it but I wasn't sure what the full story was. Hopefully you get someone decent in. You coming up and Falkirk going down would be sensational. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 3 hours ago, liam_barnett said: The only thing I really took out of it was that a lot of this appears to have come down to budget, the board would promise Smith X amount of money for a player & he would put in an offer for one then have to withdraw it as it suddenly appears that the money he was promised isn't there in the first place If true, that's worrying. On the whole I find it hard to sympathise with the budget angle because failure last season has its price, but of funds were promised and then not delivered that's a different story and it's hardly surprising Smith got pissed off. It's disrespectful. I recall that the move for the Dundee defender last season was canned after it was seemingly agreed, but can't think of anything reported since (hearsay or otherwise) regarding similar events. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks Park Kdy Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I think our next boss will be a Jim, I just hope it's a Good one and not a Duff one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daysgoneby Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I think our next boss will be a Jim, I just hope it's a Good one and not a Duff one.I fear you are going to be disappointed, as the cost of repainting the sidelines 20 yards closer to the centre circle will prove prohibitive!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Aye, the Gadzhov deal was cancelled as far as I’m aware last season, and to be honest, rightly so, as we had a player in Dave McKay who was able to play in there extremely effectively. Smith’s lack of trust in him was strange. Barry said in the build up to the Cowdenbeath match that he had a budget that allowed him to bring in a back up goalkeeper and no-one else, including loan players. Of course, different conversations may have taken place after that point about the budget being extended or whatever, but on the surface, nothing seems to have changed between that point and now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 We know nothing of budgets and such. If you had a manager you weren't sure about and he wanted to spend the last cash you had, you might well say there's none left. I would. I have. Only to then find more down the back of the couch etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanStarko Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 So this issue with the board saying money is there then it’s not. When Locke was here the board let him sign whoever he wanted with no questions asked, and then admitted they should have been a bit more questioning of his signings.Which leads to the question of if it’s the board saying money is available then changing their mind for no reason. Or is the board changing their mind based on who Smith wanted to sign?Our squad is pretty unbalanced, with no cover in certain positions, which is pretty obvious to everyone. So if the board have said money’s available and then Smith has said he wanted to sign another striker for example then I’d kinda expect the board to be questioning that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Considering we used some of this season’s budget last term, I’d hazard a wild guess we don’t have a bean. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the board changing their mind based on who Smith wanted to sign?It’s a different board. I’m not sure I buy the line about transfers. If it were true, Smith would’ve walked last week. He can now only sign players for 90 days, whereas last week he could take them until the end of the season. If he had players lined up, it was last week. It’s almost definitely a big factor though. The timing just doesn’t quite fit. Most likely there’s been a meeting between Sim and Smith on Tuesday. They’ve discussed a range of things, including transfer budget, and it’s ended up in a shouting match and Smith walking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Dick Campbell has ruled himself out of the running, if he was ever in the running. The FFP alludes to a £15k player donation that has caused some issues, although the chairman said he expected us to make a signing over the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Did we receive anything from St Johnston relating to them signing Callachan from Hearts? Obviously went under the radar since Barry has gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
