I do hope City find a way to survive. With the obvious exceptions, any team going to the wall is not good for Scottish football. It could also be used as an excuse to restrict the pyramid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Mcleod Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 It does seems like a long way back now for you guys it's not nice to see this happen to anyone hoping you get something sorted soon. Wish you the best for the future real shame for the fans when something like this happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be a main priority at the minute with everything going on at Edinburgh but it would be some story if they some how managed to stay up this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival of the club has to be their priority. Staying in league 1 looks like it would need a miracle. Losing half your first team when it was already one of the worst in the division really can't help. Add in the fact that those leaving will probably end up strengthening others in the division and you've got an almost impossible task. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I agree survival is the main priority it would be a miracle to stay up but it would be some story if they managed it. Again let's just hope they survive that's the main thing Edited December 14, 2023 by Ian Mcleod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some in the game would probably float that but it wouldn't cut much ice... City have been up for 8yr and over last 2 decades numerous 'established' SPFL clubs have had their own (occasionally multiple) crises/administrations/liquidations/etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That Colin Campbell was most definitely a Spartan (boo! hiss!) That particular Colin Campbell played for Edinburgh Uni, Hibs and Meadowbank Thistle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past there has been dispensation given to players who have had to leave a club due to not being paid or similar financial issues. Probably not this time when the window opens in little more than a fortnight though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd have stayed if at all possible. I'm no fussed that he's decided to leave us, but am shocked he's chosen to play in the highland League! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove would obviously go part-time, if the worst happens to you. Probably back to the Highland League as well to save travel costs. I take it you don't get many Aberdeen fans attending your games? We've the same problem that not many (if any) Hibs fans are interested in us, despite being five minutes along the road and supposedly some "partnership" with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of day any player will leave for any club who will get close to their current wage with a club in a more stable position and Brechin are certainly capable of providing that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His debut is (maybe) at home to Huntly today, then travel away up to Brora next weekend. Good Luck to him for the rest of the season, if that's what he wants to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I meant go and play in the Highland League. I'm sure other League one or two clubs would've paid him as well to play in a better league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
