Hmm, great statement of intent from the club - but I'm not sure we should have been quite so hasty to publicise that. Bit early to essentially stick a value in the supporters' minds for the boy to live up to. Was it volunteered or was it in response to a direct question? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knocked back £200k from Derby for Cameron and talked him into signing for us on permanent terms. We have made terms with 4, possibly 5 players, hopefully in before we fly out to LA Manga on Thursday. Who its possibly to we have made term with 4 player (Daniel Higgins and Alan Power sign done but two come join us this week) but one player before we fly out to Spain to La Manga for training camp on Thursday? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 When LM was talking about the youngsters he volunteered it.... You guys don't know the half of it, both John & Lee answered everything they were asked, never shirked one. You need to check out kickback, it's got a summary of everything discussed & answered.... The most open meeting I've ever been to at RP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Craig, it is another 4 possibly 5 before we head off to La Manga, Lee wants 10 possibly 12 new players giving him a 1st team squad of around 22. No names mentioned until we get them signed up.....

The most open meeting I've ever been to at RP Exactly the same at the club AGM. There were a lot of atrocious questions raised and he was totally respectful and gave a genuine answer to every single one. Scheduled for 15 minutes and stood for an hour, I'm really impressedwith him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 In young Higgins I think you've potentially got a very good player. Sad to see him leave, looked like he was ready to be a first team squad member. I would disagree with Ludo - he's a pretty big unit with decent touch and a decent pass. Could be a very decent CH IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4mmy31 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Has McCulloch made it clear as to whether Higgins has signed for the first team or developmental to begin with? He said yesterday all his signings would be 1st team squad members, hoping to sign 10 maybe 12 so he has a squad of around 22.... He stressed that nobody would be a 1st team regular, they would have to earn their place both in training and matches. "Higgins will be a fantastic signing, has still to learn but will be a star in the future, can play CB or centre mid" It was noticeable his mood changed when asked about McDonald, he said he hadn't read the story in the Edinburgh Evening News but would be having "a word" with Jamie tomorrow, he said we need 2 keepers and for the life of himself he couldn't understand why a professional football player wouldn't want to stay and fight for his place. He said at La Manga they were not going there for a holiday it's 4 training sessions a day and on the two down days it's only 3 sessions, 1st session starts at 7am last at 6pm, he said fitness last season wasn't good enough. He is well aware of the importance of the Ayr game and had even considered bring the players in early to start preseason but felt it wouldn't be fair on them....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fide Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Scott Boyd apparently has been appointed as an assistant to the chief executive. He just graduated with a BA in Sports Management. It's unclear whether he'll receive additional pay for the role, but he'll remain a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
