Michael W Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 More convinced than ever that this is a banter season for us. We're going to finish 9th and be relegated by an Adam King goal in the play-off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be us, East Fife, Dunfermline and Falkirk so plenty of local matches... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The timing of it is the fucking shitter. I think if Hibs came in for him at the start of the summer, got the deal agreed and we got him back on loan, maybe with another player thrown in, I don’t think anyone could have argued too much. but at the eleventh hour and just buckle and agree is a quite hard to take. We move on though. No point fucking crying about it. If we had a regular support of 2500+ every single week, transfers like this wouldn’t happen as easily… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we’ve gotten much more tbh and if the sell on clause is only 5% then we have messed this up big time. Yeah, no doubt it was embarrassingly lower. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The undisclosed thing is clearly coming from our end. If Hibs had paid decent money for him then they’d want to trumpet it to their fans as a big money signing for the future. Or if they got him for a steal then they’d also want to crow about the good bit of business they’d just done for a promising young player. If we’d have got decent cash for him, then our Board would want to say look what we were paid to deflect from the loss of the player. The only scenario that leads to ‘undisclosed’ is obviously us having sold him cheap for short term cash and wanting to keep it quiet to avoid fans going nuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 If he has signed a 4 year deal any sell on clause could be a long time coming as they,re not going to move him on any time soon oh wait! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said if we are that desperate that we need to sell Tait for £100k at this point then there are much bigger underlying issues that a few more fans wouldn't solve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 You can't even say it was player agent power. For 100k I would gamble he can get splinters in his arse for 3 years or more likely get on with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re three weeks away from a much bigger payday than £100k from Parkhead as well. It shouldn’t be finances dictating it, and if it is we have far bigger problems. I appreciate the deal isn’t even ‘official’ yet but at some point in the next couple of days we’re going to need to see a reasonable justification for this. Don’t care whether it’s a website article, an interview, a soundbite to the press - it seems bonkers on the face of it. If there’s more to it, and for example Tait insisted on a £100k release clause or he wouldn’t sign a contract, better getting out and saying so now. Pretty clear from here and social media that the fanbase is furious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) It wouldn't be so bad if the transfer money for Tait & Bowie and and the extra cash we got for finishing 3rd was being used to reduce the debt, so where is it all going Edited September 1, 2021 by SirJimmyofNic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Absolutely not good enough. Further justification required very, very quickly. As above, even if it's just a leak to the Courier to say "the figure is much higher than was previously rumoured" or whatever, whatever the actual reason for accepting it is, other than just "a big boy came knocking". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
