Firhill_Basin Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) When you take the emotion and bluster out of it and actually examine the track record of these people the truth probably lies in the middle. There wouldn't be a scatter gun signing approach where they will just sign anyone they fancy because they can, although obviously they have the resources to do that if they ever wanted but they have openly said that's not their MO and the transfer business done by their other clubs backs that up. Nor does their history suggest they are here to asset strip, and what assets anyway? The evidence suggests we'd likely be another minor part of a larger organisation behind Barnsley, Nice and all their other investments. The guy isn't Craig Whyte, he's got serious money from legit business behind him and an existing track record in football which is reasonable. Nor is he is Abramovich or Sheikh Mansour where he'll just fire money at big name players. Some folk (well one guy) have suggested the club's dying on its arse. Not true IMO, but it's at risk of stagnating again in the way of a long rut of seasons outside the top flight. I think Caldwell did alright in the end last season and got an unnecessarily hard time so if the status quo remains I will remain behind him, but in the grand scheme if he goes, so be it. The current board don't have the money or the expertise behind them, more than replaceable. The current lack of news on the signings front isn't a coincidence either IMO. My main hope would be they would invest in the infrastructure. The stadium, the training ground, the overall professionalism of the club. There's no point in them coming in to just fire a bunch of players from Barnsley and Nice on loan every year up to us and that being the end of their input, but given what Chien Lee and Paul Conway have said about building things slowly I'm sure they're well aware of that.

dave.j Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 If he sacks Caldwell he has my 100% backing. Until then, im so indifferent about the Club, i'm beyond giving two shits about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_paulo Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Pre season is always funny. Tenuous link between clubs turns into a Twitter post, turns into a rumour story by a despicable paper's hack, and now our club is dying after a year in the championship, Firhill is about to be chopped up, sold as firewood by an evil Chinese overlord and never ever hiring a social media officer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firhill_Basin Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Rudden signed a new deal at Rangers and sounds like he wants to stay and fight for his spot. Regardless of this ownership shit we can't fall into the trap again of falling in love with targets and being left in a position to panic.

Sting777 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Getting back to the (potential) Chinese deal I havent a clue on the subject, but are you allowed to control 2 UK clubs? Was that not a potential problem for Ashley when he was hovering over Ibrox? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I thought that as well, but seemingly the only conflict would be if both clubs got into Europe, which uefa subsequently bottled with the Red Bull clubs in Germany and Austria anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Graeme McGarry saying we’ve signed ex-Falkirk player Tommy Robson, subject to a medical. No idea who he is. From what I recall, he’s a full back (not sure which side) who tries really hard, is decent enough going forward but can’t defend at all.Would expect him to be back up to Penrice/Williamson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalkirkLad Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 He cant be that shite?In a back 4 he’ll cost you a goal a game but he’s fucking class going forward, signed as part of the back 5 under Hartley and that’s where he needs to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Alan Nixon also linking us with someone called Sam Scrivens who I can't even find on Google Edit, there's one at Emley town who are in tier 10 of English football and is described as a right back whereas Nixon describes him as a prolific goalscorer and wide man. For comparison Whitley Bay were tier 9 when we signed Elliott from them. Edited June 21, 2019 by Fuctifano 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine it’s him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixon said Ronnie Glavin recommended him and Penistone have a player called Conner Glavin so I’m assuming that’s a relative so that’ll be the one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
