Morton were definitely in discussion with Sneddon and allegedly offering him more than he was currently on

I’m surprised if Morton can afford higher wages than ourselves 

[Reid]

I’d be fine with Sneddon leaving. He’s an average keeper for this level at best. I’d say he’s ever so slightly better than Mitchell but we could do better.

This is great reading as always TTA - the bolded bits tell a significant story.

Long may your spreadsheets continue to inform and educate us!!

Cheers Barney, there's always something interesting going on with this mental institution of ours!

Looking forward to continuing world football's most bizarre unbroken sequence of double ups and downs... 2 relegations (96, 98), 2 promotions (01, 02), 2 relegations (04, 05), 2 promotions (06, 13), 2 relegations (18, 20) must now be followed by 2 promotions, 2021 and ????

How many goals has Mitchell scored?

I like Sneddon and I hope he stays.  I think he's solid, better than average at this level, and improving year on year, and I'd have him in the team before Mitchell, who is also decent.  I also have very little confidence that we'd go out and find a substantially better GK on our very limited budget. 

[Nightmare]

According to Transfermrkt, Mitchell is under contract for next season while Sneddon isn’t. Their respective contract scenarios might make the decision for us.

I’d have Sneddon ahead of Mitchell, but there’s not a massive difference between them and I’d be ok with either starting next year.

Apologies for a Raith Rovers fan popping into your thread, however thought I’d drop this here before I flog on eBay! 
 

I am selling off my shirt collection which features Partick’s long sleeve home kit 00-01 in an XL. Drop me a message if interested!

If we get to the play offs and if we get to the final how would we feel if it's United? Obviously the chance for revenge but I think it would bring back too many traumatic memories

[Fuctifano]

The team I'd like most to relegate (of the feasible candidates) but the team I'd least like us to play if we made it that far. Even when they have a shit team we play down to them, the last season they were relegated both the Scottish cup game and the league game where we chucked a 3-1 lead with 5 minutes to go were awful. Not to mention we've lost about 15 cup ties in a row vs them. 

Would probably go County, St J, Killie (strong home record), Dundee Utd in that order of preference, but long way to go before we have to even worry about that.

I desperately want to relegate them. That would be gorgeous, but I think if they managed to claw themselves up to 11th they'd have their tails up at the end of the season. What we want is a team who have free-fallen into the playoff spot a la Hibs in 2014.

I am a bit dull. Can you explain the 2nd bullet point, please ?

Maybe the first point is why we seemed so lethargic yesterday.

According to Transfermarkt the following are out of contract: Muirhead, Bannigan, Holt, Smith, Sneddon, Turner, Docherty, Tiffoney, Mullen, Brownlie. As is Hodson with Killie.

The ones ins bold are the only ones worth keeping for me. Although, I reckon we may only get to keep a couple of them. Holt is strongly rumoured to be away and I think a bottom 6 team will take punts of Turner and Tiffoney.

Doolan seemingly thinks that players havent signed pre contracts

He’s always going to say that. He’ll not come out and say “a couple of players have signed contracts elsewhere” as it will send the rumour mill into overdrive.

[Fuctifano]

Turner and Tiffoney should be in the Premiership next season whether that's with us or not, the rest are all championship level at best. Holt and Sneddon I think will go regardless of how we finish. 

Bannigan is probably here until he retires unless someone makes him a silly offer, Muirhead is worth another year at this level.

Smith needs a fresh start for his own sake, Mullen is probably on a chunky wage for a 3rd choice striker and Graham and Dowds are under contract for next year.
