The full core of the team needs redone yet again for about the 3rd or 4th season running. 13 signed players for next season already which means there's going to have to be a hell of a lot of wheeling and dealing to try clear out the dross. I'd keep Mcguffie, Williamson and Martin on as back ups but that being said Martin's been posted missing for the past few months. Goalkeeper Paddy Martin Luke Holt - Get Rid Defenders Ryan Williamson Brad Mckay - Please Get Rid Leon Mccann Paul Watson Midfielders Callumn Morrison Steven Hetherington - Get Rid Aidan Nesbitt - Get Rid Craig Mcguffie Seb Ross - Get Rid Strikers Jaime Wilson - Get Rid Finlay Malcolm Why would you keep Martin rather than Holt as a matter of interest? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen Martin play and I don't think we have to see Holt play given Gretna sent him back from his loan. But either Martin's injured or he's had a falling out with Rennie as he's not been in any of the match day squads for a while.

JulioBairn Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 So it now appears that Fergus (I assume) has brought in a whole squad of players and promised them the world without the club even knowing about it? How can that actually happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it thee Darren Barr? He’s been at quite a few of our home games this season so would imagine it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brought in a bunch of kids at U12 level, promising pro youth and the world, then he left without telling anyone, New board had no clue and doesn;t have the funding for it so cut the team. IMO writing was on the wall when he came to us, gutted boys clubs from Edinburgh, and presented them as a new squad almost instantly scouted. Sure, it was enjoyable for us as we benefitted, but one day he'd do something dodgy to us too. Only took him about 6 months it seems! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing from the fatal Q&A that wasn’t addressed enough was the question about nepotism being rife at the club. Gary Holt appointing his mate fergus who leaves shortly after he does who then appoints his son to help run the youth teams with him and meanwhile Gary holts son gets a 2 year deal that summer, that’s Netflix worthy content. Utter shambles and do not envy the job the new BOD have walked into. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember commenting on this at the time being pretty sceptical about it. The youth setup seemed like a bit of a con from the off with one trial in Edinburgh resulting in a team of players that suddenly were flying out the traps against teams(handpicked no doubt to make them look good). A new poster called Edinburgh Scout came on to suggest Fergus had pulled a fly one over the club too. Never thought it would be that bad but then as you say if he did that to others then why not to us too!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Gary Holt is an absolute c**t and it is a mark of absolute shame he was allowed to return to the club and pull some strings. Dictionary definition charlatan. Seems like his pal Fergus isn't too dissimilar in character. Edited April 7, 2022 by 18BAIRN76 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passionate Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 5 hours ago, 18BAIRN76 said: I know this is totally off-topic and old news, but it's better than talking about our chances on Saturday. I saw on the Airdrie thread that they're talking about the possibility of Alan Gow going to them in some youth development capacity. I didn't really pay attention to the thing with him being Head of Football Operations, what with Covid being the main concern at the time in 2020 - can someone tell me the story of his appointment and why he left after so little time? I remember Deans making a snidey comment at the infamous Q&A, but he didn't really go into much detail. Who were the Alan Gow backers, heard a snippet of him coming on board as Head of Youth with some far east investment, Will believe it when I see it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
