Roboccop Posted Wednesday at 13:38 Share Posted Wednesday at 13:38 I should say anyone who sent me a quote for the book will find it in there ( some cut down for space reasons). Just another reason to buy. Plus loads of crowd shots so good chance your pic is in the pages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted Wednesday at 14:15 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:15 3 hours ago, ShaggerG said: Agreed, however, the dilemma for Allan is, would he be happy with potentially no game time at all? Having played one up front for the whole of a L1 season, I don't see McGlynn changing that in the Championship. As it stands, it looks to me that, because we have Shanley, who McGlynn preferred to Allan, it's likely that the latter will be the guy naturally left out of the squad each week. That would obviously change with the inevitable injuries and suspensions, but even so... We have all seen it over the years. It just ain't working on the pitch so its not only a change of player its a change of formation. McGlynn will have bounce gamed these formations and think we will see a bit more of that tactic this season. Hope to see a couple of loan players coming soon so dependent on that Allen may be put on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, more Falkirk like, we'll get humped first game of the season and the whole season is a struggle from then on in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only loan options potentially available to us will be where the parent club are happy to cover the full wage of the player for the duration of the loan period. Despite incredible backing from the support, McGlynn's interview in the FH two weeks ago made it crystal clear that there is no money whatsoever to do anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a large top and while it's slightly bigger there's not much in it. It depends if you prefer a neater fit or looser, O'Neills is definitely looser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think that will be the case at all, we will almost definitely still see players in and out IMO. We may put players out on loan ourselves or move players on completely which frees up wages to be spent elsewhere, we may come through our league cup group which is worth an un budgeted for 50k, we may sell more season tickets / get more FFS sign ups ect ect. Mcglynn said this time last year he’d spent all his budget yet we still signed another two players before the transfer window closed so despite actually being quite happy with our current squad I’m 99% certain we will still see players both in and out before the transfer window shuts.

Other than Jordan Allan, I don't see much too scope in the current squad for moving players out. There's two or three I would not be adverse to seeing move on if it allowed us to inject some freshness into the squad, but realistically, he's the only one - certainly in terms of the senior players - I can see going out the door any time soon. As you rightly say, something could yet turn up to change the situation but as of right now, I don't see anyone coming in. I hoped we might have been able to bring in a bit of proven Championship experience, and certainly believe we would have been an attractive enough proposition this summer for plenty of players of that calibre,, but we clearly do not have the financial wherewithal to do so. Just the way it is unfortunately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was the case this time last season the situation is not as ridgid as you are trying to portray and there will more than likely still be movement both in and out before before the transfer window closes however regardless of that its all about choices and the manager has chosen to spend his budget on the players he has brought in or re-singed so far, given his record in the transfer market I’ve absolute faith those choices he has made will be proven the correct ones. Every club has a finite budget, when it’s spent it’s spent there is no bottomless pit of money for anybody in this division so I don’t see that as being “unfortunate” but just a blindingly obvious fact of life.
