Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I know we have 2 GKs already so not really important but Alan Martin signing for EK is a shocker in my books. Surely us or another league team wouldve taken him?He's far too good and experienced for Jim Duffy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best GK I've seen in recent times in a Sons jersey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 There's a few Lowland League Clubs with fairly serious local investors now, Kelty, EK & East Stirlingshire spring to mind, and a fairly well sponsored Bonnyrigg Rose are also in the LL next season now. Several decent players have opted to drop down a couple of divisions in this close-season already. Quite astonishing that Alan Martin has been lured to EK to play in front of 186 fans. #£owland£eague 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fairly vocal on Twitter about not having any offers a few weeks ago. I'm fairly confident we could offer more than EK, they aren't quite at the level of Salford City esque teams like Kelty. I don't understand this tactic of not even bothering to offer these guys something. It's almost like Duffy actively avoids signing good, experienced players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea what our finances/budget are or how they operate, what did we earn for finishing 6th in League 1 last season? £50k? At a rough guess, a drop of over £100k from The Championship 8th place money we were used to. We got a loan from Rankine too. It's gone quiet with C&G too, are they still offering jobs to signings, who knows. The info about anything from DFC has been shocking tbh. I would think we are in trouble BBPF, no idea how many season books we've shifted either, 250 or so? A good chunk of them will be the cheaper OAP & under 12 free ones too? There was a load of bluster about going for top 4. All I know is, same as yourself for myself it is frustrating & very fucking worrying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGD89 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I hate to say i told you so. A good few weeks ago i made the point that we would end up with a load of dud players and emergency loans. I also made the point that the club/board/trust (whoever) have been very secretive about whats going on, and i was berated by the social media mouth piece from the trust....[emoji848][emoji848]Seems to be panning out just as i said it would. The fact we haven’t even made an attempt at getting Martin in is stupid IMO. But we’ll never know if we have cos the club wont tell us anyway, unless your in the wee clique surrounding the club. Its a joke. No wonder we cant get people to come down and support the club. I still have the feeling of being looked at as an outsider and I’ve followed the sons for years. Its a vile atmosphere and i don’t see it changing anytime soon.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Alan Martin snaked his way out the club last time he was here and has been punted from Queens after giving his own fans the finger. I'm honestly not that fussed. Quitongo would be magical but I just can't see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This clique keeps getting mentioned yet nobody can tell me who's in it. If you expect the club to come out and explain why they haven't offered deals to every player then I think you're expecting a bit much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill say it here...Jai in ye come...he might, given JD is a bit of a mentor.....probably very wishful thinking though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Jai Quitongo signed a four year deal with some Iranian jobbers in March. I can't see him leaving that (and, one would assume the finances that it brings with it) to slum it in League One with us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt know that but he wouldnt be the first to get out of there in a hurry given the current tensions geo-politically.
