I've got a nagging feeling that something's not quite right!

Hartley prepared us for 'an exciting 10 days' and there's been no movement at all. (Well, in the way anyway)

He said he had offers out to 6 targets and it's beginning to look like they've all told him to bolt, unless maybe he was a wee bit over optimistic with his timings? Alternatively, he's maybe put things on the back burner because he's had a sniff of the St Mirren job? Hope not.

Stubbs got the St Mirren job, announced tomorrow. For the something that is "not quite right" you need to look above the manager. Been that way for years, and isn't going to change any time soon.

How do you know about Stubbs? 

As far as the BOD are concerned, that's a different story and I don't see how that could affect the fact that he had ' offers out to 6 targets'?

If we are going down the route of signing the majority of our players from the English market, lots of them are still contracted until the end of June, hence why it’s announced we’ve signed pre contracts with some of our signings so far.

Whilst it doesn’t make ideal preparation for the first day of pre season, I’d rather take our time and get the right players in than panic and pick up the likes of Mark Durnan.

I think telling us about the 6 offers was probably a mistake.  And he should not have promised an exciting 10 days. Still its easy to say that with hindsight.

I am sure Hartley will get his signings right.

Every season Hartley was with us and indeed with Alloa, he'd have his squad pretty much completed by the beginning of June if possible with only tinkering being done afterwards. Seems strange.

We've signed two players who had actively been freed by their clubs in England, we are hoping we are looking at players who's contracts are yet to run out in a couple of weeks.

 

Either that, or something is mightily broken.
