Granny Danger Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 If our only signing in this window is Mikkelssen then we're fucked, even for the play offs. I understand that sometimes a manager has to wait until the window is near closed to get his targets but other teams have brought in players, including loan players, and we desperately need to strengthen.

Fraser Fyvie Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Tbf I don't think we'll win it by 10. More likely 15 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Prince Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hanlon out for the remainder of the season dare I mention Hibsing it ? Entire defence has conceded 11 league goals all season. I think we'll manage just fine without 1 of the 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Seems to be a fair amount of angst on Twitter regarding Sean Dillon's testimonial dinner last night (I never got invited despite being his biggest fan). Don't think any board members went along, so the usual abuse is now being directed their way. Another few fans bemoaning the acceptance amongst some supporters of where we actually are now in terms of being in the Championship. Apparently supporters who just 'accept' the fact that we are now in this league are part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've encountered a single Arab IRL or on here who thinks otherwise. Nonetheless we should not simply accept that we are a Championship club. When you look at the resources that the club has it is reasonable to aim to be an established Premiership club. Of course we are not alone, the Sevco debacle aside both Hibs and Dundee have been in this league in recent years and both of these clubs deserve to be established Premiership clubs based on their resources; particularly Hibs. My concern is that the United Board appear to have a level of "acceptance"; this strikes me as an incredibly bad business decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that the United Board appear to have a level of "acceptance"; this strikes me as an incredibly bad business decision. I don't think anyone looking at the bigger picture accepts that we are a Championship club. We shouldn't be. However from week to week I accept our position when it comes to supporting the team on the pitch and the manager. I am concerned that a fairly sizeable section of the support (and yesterday was an example as we were 800 or so down) will start to vote with their feet as it looks like we haven't got any chance of competing for the league title. This in turn might end up having a negative effect on our budgets going forward. The board at the moment are keeping things very close to their chest and it is pretty demoralising as a supporter. They will need to make a decision soon about what they want to invest going forward as our budget if we got promote via the playoffs will be significantly different to the budget if we are in the Championship next year (which is pretty likely). I don't think this season is they key one for the club, beyond this year will be the real test the fans and the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
