squeezebox-son Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Was told today that apparently both keepers' will be offered contracts but that we will be looking to bring in a 1st choice. Can't see both being content with being 2nd/3rd choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Is Scott Smith is offered another contract I'm starting a 'Murray Out' campaign! In fairness he generates a lot of income for other areas of the stadium..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curler Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Really good news for us. Hopefully some decent signings will come our way as we are a club with ambition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Discussions underway with all of the squad, does that mean everyone is being offered a contract? http://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=1353 I'd like to think not. Interview with him on the DT and he said he hopes to hold on to most of the squad and add a couple. If you look at our team from last year, if we got ourselves a keeper, centre half and a striker added to that then we'd be in very good shape. Of course, it's likely we'll lose a couple of players (McGinn and Megginson looking most likely) so if they go we may need another couple of bodies in. Can see Miller returning next year too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That link says he'll get a chance now to speak to everyone and let the squad know who is staying. It's simply a case of them not having formally released anyone bar Phinn and Ronald yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I confident Smith will be away. As will either one or both of Ewings and Grindlay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWL Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I confident Smith will be away. Agreed. Looked a genuine player when he came from Hibs last year. Shored up up problem left back position straight away and looked comfortable enough when playing in the middle too. This year he just looked a couple of stone overweight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Christian Nade is almost a done deal according to my sources. And naw, it's not the fish woman at Morrisons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren1872 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think now that we have Murray secured. I reckon a few of the uncertain players will stick around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I wonder if Dundee will keep Peter MacDonald, he'd be a cracking signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordo1872 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 We should be raiding League One for the best part-time players out there. Not only will wee have financial advantage but we'll have the appeal of playing under Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) I wonder if Dundee will keep Peter MacDonald, he'd be a cracking signing.Yeah, for anyone in this league. Think he'll easily have full-time offers.Agree with Jordo, a lot of part time players will fancy playing for us next year and I've no doubt Murray will be looking at the best talent below us but at the same time waiting to see what the Premiership teams release like he did with Mitch Megginson.

Howlin' Wilf Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Absolutely delighted. Going to sleep last night I'd convinced myself he was off to St. Mirren. Well done to Gilbert Lawrie and the Board of Directors. Murray's eye for a player has been excellent so far. Excited about who he may re-sign plus the fresh talent he has identified. The two year deal may even convince the likes of McGinn & Megginson to sign on again, knowing that we won't stand in their way should a decent offer come in. It may also persuade Celtic & St. Johnstone to trust us with the further development of Mikey Miller and Chris Kane. ^^^^^^^^ Heartily agree... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccormackwilsongoal Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 When I saw Murray was odds on for the St Mirren job I feared the worst. Great news he's signed on for two years. Interesting times ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but there would certainly be no harm in going in for him if he's released. Who knows, he may even fancy going part-time and taking on a coaching role like Nish did. Murray will get it right with the signings, I've no doubt about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Word has it that there will be no 'early bird' Season Ticket offer for next Season. Price of a Season Ticket will also rise, not unexpected re- a price rise. Pity about the 'early bird' discount though. Kapiche 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 With the suggestion/website glitch that showed cat A and cat B games, I'd expect a £20-£30 increase on the cost of a season ticket to reflect the 2 home games v Hearts and Rangers. No early bird is a shame as it was a decent encouragement for fans to sign up early and give the club a decent financial boost before the start of the season. Hopefully it won't be more than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
