Dunning1874 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Positive bit of all this is that we all already knew he was pish anyway and were looking forward to releasing him in January. There had to be money left in the budget for another centre forward already anyway, otherwise signing McGinn was a Hopkin level bit of recruitment from Imrie and by far the stupidest managerial decision he's made. If the termination of Emmanuel-Thomas' contract is without pay considering he's remanded in custody and can't turn up to work then it's an unexpected bit of money back into the budget on top of that to give us an actual centre forward who isn't terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branch Ton Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago The real culpability in this lies with those at the club who decided that this guy was fit and able to do a job for us in the Championship. Cannot imagine what those we overlooked in favour of him must be like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that on footballing reasons alone he had already gone down as a bad signing because he's now a dreadful footballer, but that doesn't make anyone at the club culpable for this happening. They're culpable for us having a shite centre forward for two months, not for the PR situation his arrest has caused. There was no way anyone at the club was supposed to know this would happen. It's not like they could have asked a previous club for a character reference to find out he was going to be charged with an alleged serious crime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand, sounds like this worked well given he was utter sh1t and a dreadful summer signing. On the other hand, you now have to scrape around the bottom of the barrel looking for a free agent striker who might be able to do a turn in the bottom half of the Scottish Championship, and who no-one else noticed or wanted when the window was still open... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not have part time drug dealer on his CV? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I think Imries signing of him should have asked if he was on drugs more than JET, although the pics of him JET obviously had the munchies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already were. We are just now doing it with a few quid extra in the pocket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted 56 minutes ago Share Posted 56 minutes ago Should probably have been jailed for his criminal waste of natural talent. When he got fit at Livi he was genuinely one of the most technically gifted players I've seen at the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
