I don’t know about that but they got a very decent cup run including Rangers away. Although having said that Morton also went on a very decent cup run too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think we’ve actually spent any of it tbh with you. Then we’ve got the Rangers cup money from last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re telling Oakley he will start on the bench all season he might not want that, irrespective of money. The offers were probably similar in terms of ££. There is an argument that he could absolutely replace Graham once he starts to wind down and bringing him into the club now is advantageous but if he wants to play then he ain’t gonna come to us. He could easily play for Ayr every week for the term of his contract there and then sign for us anyway if he really wants to.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could become a problem in trying to get a decent other striker. Might have to settle for a meh signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Ultimately not too fussed if we miss out on Oakley. He undoubtedly had a really good few months when he was fit this season, but I’m not sure if that purple patch in the midst of a relatively underwhelming career is worth paying a decent wedge of cash to, especially when there’s a good chance he’ll spend the next couple of years as the second choice striker. Quite enjoying the whole drama around him regardless, mainly because it seems to have Greenock fans frothing at the mouth and claiming they’re the only club in the division living within their means. Bless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt exactly big up wee angry Dougie's ability to motivate players when it looks like theyve chucked it for two-thirds of the season and finished a gargantuan three points above the relegation play-off places. Also quite telling how good Dougie is at "motivating his players" when Crawford and Oakley have both decided to leave despite good offers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bless. This has been particularly strange. Surely it’s blindingly obvious that other clubs (such as us) simply have greater means to live within? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) George Oakley has been varying degrees of shite for his entire career and I think this season his ability has been massively over exaggerated. He has only scored in 7 of his 24 starts. Incidentally the same number of games Adeloye has scored in this season, with only 2 starts to his name. We need a different option to BBG, someone with a bit of pace in behind. Preferably a younger player who can learn, and eventually take over from, Graham. We dont need to waste valuable budget on Plan A.1 for a significantly inferior player to what we already have. Bullet dodged IMO. Hopefully a case of Doolan playing a blinder and getting Ayr to increase their wage offer and reduce their budget for other players.

JagsCG Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Wouldn't necessarily define it as a bullet dodged, but equally echo the thoughts that I'm not bothered about Oakley. Unfortunately for any striker potentially looking at us, they'll probably be second choice to Graham. I wouldn't be against trying to get Adeloye back tbh, although no clue if his injury is such that it will eat into next season too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do go up they are going to be using it for a documentary however if we don't, I'm not sure the footage will be used for anything in particular. I was speaking with one of the film crew about it in the Aitken last week, said they were in process of gathering up footage in case we go up, as we didn't have any footage at all of last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was Britain's Hardest Boozers so told them I had personally knocked f**k out of the Section B and their Das in the lavvy just last week. They seemed impressed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
