Torfason Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Great point on the Motherwell thread, given Killie's form and the lack of contribution from KVV, it looks more like they signed him to stop him going to us rather than really wanting him in their team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two lines about 5th: ”Whoever secures fifth at the end of the season will go into Conference League qualifying at round two.” Looked up, and we’d need to win 3 ties to get into the group stages. Finishing 4th makes things so much easier. Even if you lose your first game, you go straight to Conference League play off. Such a shame that we had such a bad run. That second half at Rugby Park - ouch! Agree, but as long as we hang onto 5th, it really doesn’t matter that there’s three qualifiers to get to the group stage, the facts are we’d see the UEFA flag flying in the corner of the ground, and the match programme would be a genuine European game collectors item. Even if it is against some Welsh or far flung mob, the matchday announcement would be ‘Welcome to the SMiSA Stadium for this UEFA Conference League qualifier against FC Kazakdiddy’… That’s good enough for me. Hope we don’t fcuk this chance up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH he seems to be carrying an injury more than anything. Quite glad we missed out on him. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the Motherwell thread. There's one poster who used us as an example of a club who will eventually emulate their glorious administration as apparently we're overspending. Clearly no idea of how our club is being run these days. Edited April 24 by FTOF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was signed with the purpose of pushing for 4th. The money from the league and guaranteed European money would be far more than his cost in wages. Which are not that high! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 The idea of big money in England hoovering up our young talent before we really get a chance to see them get regular football gives me the boak. I understand why these clubs operate that model and why young players choose that option but it’s still fecking shite. Although I guess down the years St Mirren benefited by taking on Steve Clarke (Beith Juniors), Frank McAvennie (Johnstone Burgh) and Ian Ferguson (Clyde) at a relatively young age for little outlay but profiting later on through big transfers. Modern fitba is pish. Fcuk Sky, etc…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maybe wouldn’t go as far as to say that’s the only reason we signed him but getting a player that some of your competitors wants is always a bit of a bonus. It just hasn’t worked out for KVV with Watkins and Vassell doing so well and it’s been impossible to drop them to be honest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The COVID loan is 20 year interest free. All but 2 clubs (I think) used the covid loan and all took out different loan amounts. We could literally pay it back over 20 years at as low as 100k+. We have changed our model and its having a positive effect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's interest free I can't understand why we'd choose that option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
