He was on peanuts at FGR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendry would be an absolute baller alongside Brown, but I highly doubt we can stretch the wallet to fit…although if we were to offer him a two year deal, with an agreement to allow him to move to a Premiership or English team in exchange for some sell on fees and cash, he might see it as a way to market himself while “coming home”. I am interested if the third year option for Connolly is player or club, but based upon it being appearances, I’d guess it’s a player option.

Brashy's Boots Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Connolly deal is an excellent piece of business. That he's chosen to stay says a lot too about the club and its vision. There are undoubtedly a few other clubs scoring his name off a list tonight and refocusing on the names below his. Well done, the board. Well done Ian Murray. Well done Aidan Connolly. Announce Hendry and get the open top bus booked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 He will have had a long list of admirers from other clubs so in a way I class this as abit of a coup Aiden resigning , Not many wide players in the championship can show a return of 25 goals in 2 seasons , Well done everyone involved in getting this over the line 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Delighted that Connolly has signed on. Shows that we can be competitive with players that other teams will be interested in. McGill a solid addition as well. Good day all round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Delighted that the club have clearly offered him what he wanted. Can’t do that for everyone of course, but he was and is well worth the contract. More than a few other Championship clubs who he would have had offers from so says lot that he wanted to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if Falkirk have tried too. I feel that in their current situation they'll continually need to offer over the odds to get lads to sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover1990 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Great to hear in his interview he wants to stay here as long as possible. That’s what we want to see committed players who want to play for the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully lots of incremental increases on multiple year contacts and nice big fees to agents… 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Would love to see Regan back, but he'll probably be signed by Tranmere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Absolutely delighted with Connollly staying, was convinced he'd be away but for him to commit to another 2 years and hear him talk so affectionately for the club really is pleasing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s also realised that the club is made for him as well as by his previous track record he’s not really hit the heights anywhere else so he’s also probably looked at it that way and also finances obviously would also of been a big Factor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Retaining Connolly is an excellent statement of intent, in addition to being a good standalone piece of business. I don't imagine he'd have had (m)any offers from the Premiership, but any Championship team would be glad to have him. It's not just about keeping him as a player, it's about being able to keep hold of a player like that, rather than see him go to a direct rival. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double whoosh… Meanwhile, I like the attitude the Club announcements are taking, but a couple of nails with Pars shirts on them would have played it a little better…none the less, well played, Ruaridh! It may seem like not much, but that kind of fun play on announcements and social media is what we need to try to draw in some younger fans…and maybe get eyeballs on our accounts, which can generate some small amounts if played right, and will certainly raise our profile with possible advertisers. I’m starting to think this Kilgour laddie may know what he’s doing…and we should start a pool to bet on which poster here and on P&B is actually Ruaridh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
