Shodwall cat Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Cove were attracting players that noone else could afford by paying them excellent part time wages and supplementing it by giving them a job with their major sponsors. Now that they have gone full time who knows how they are affording it but players like Fraser fyvie could still be playing much further up the pyramid and earning a very good wage so cove must be paying him a kings ransom for a league one player . He's most likely the highest paid player in this league. Mark Reynolds was signed from Dundee united and again could probably have played higher up the leagues but signed for cove . Again he will be on a pretty packet . They must be losing money hand over fist . I mean who in the right mind turns full time after getting relegated. You wonder how much longer the money pit at cove will continue to fund the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read back and can only see the one poster who was corrected as being confused with Cove and Hamilton having higher budgets, not Queen of the South. Yeah it seems they were getting confused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Assuming Allan is offski in the summer and we retain Yeats, Tait, Ross and Shanley then my 3 starting position upgrades would be at GK, 10 and ST. 2 more signings as cover would take us to a senior squad of 22 which I don't think is too unrealistic.

StuartA Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 If we can get to a situation where there’s two credible starters for each position in a squad of 22, then I think we’ll do well. I certainly don’t want to write any current starter off but we’ll see what JM brings in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybowski89 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 48 minutes ago, Shodwall cat said: Yes that's a good shout he always looks a tough player to play against. Not sure what his contract situation at Morton is at the moment. George Oakley would be a great shout. Scored a brilliant hattrick at Tannadice the day we played QotS at TFS. My mate is a Morton fan. I've asked him if he knows what Oakley's situation is. We take what we want from Morton so if he's out of contract, get him signed -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Oakley would be the perfect signing for the system we play. He can hold the ball up and he can put it away. Not to mention he has lots of experience playing in the premiership and the championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jives Miguel Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Falkirk fans thinking they take an average of 1,000 to away games is the funniest things I've read today. I don't think you chumps manage even half of that when you visit Cappielow. edit: you also think Cove have a bigger budget than you this season? Wtf am I reading?

Given we’ve now taken 2.4k to Montrose, 2k to Hamilton. 1.5k both times to Alloa, 1.5k(plus) to Stirling both times, and have never had less than around 400 fans (cove and Montrose away midweek), 1k is probably on the light side of average. Assuming, of course, that you know what the word “average” means. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk attendances at Palmerston this season are 560 the 1st time and 629 the 2nd time (which to be fair was on live tv at 5:30). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Cove's owner was on the same level as McGregor, Cove would be at the same level as RC (probably). The point stands as it's all relative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he does. “Average” at best chance of keeping Imrie next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nesbitt's had a fantastic season and I have no doubt he'll start next season as our number 10, I however would like to see a quality option signed there who can prove better than Nesbitt when they get their chance. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total 1,237. Not helped by the live tv, Scotland v Ireland egg chasing at the same time (I think Man Utd were also on at the same time), and the general expectation we'd be thumped (which we ultimately were although only because you ran away with it in the last 15 mins). But ultimately, fans voting with their feet after what's been a dreadful season for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No player in any position should have an automatic right to start imo. We should be looking to have the strongest starting 11 and squad as possible. If that means bringing in players who can challenge and eventually replace current starters, so be it. Part of the reason for our success this season in my view is that we now have competition for places in a good number of positions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
