djchapsticks Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Also that would make even less sense then to go for Goodwin who is under contrwct. We'd have to pay Alloa money and Alloa would have something to say publicly about accepting an approach if it was already a done deal. So since they haven't, we'd also be tapping another clubs manager up if we'd gotten him to agree to join us without Alloa knowing or consenting. As I said, I'm not buying a single word of it.

Scott is I n trouble this will back fire we are financially fucked from what I'm hearing . I just dont believe this financial meltdown rubbish. The club has brought in more money than ever before and the play offs will have made us money. Too many people making things up imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 7 hours ago, djchapsticks said: Why are we in financial meltdown though? We spent a lot of money last season with payoffs etc but we took a lot more in than usual from prize money, telly money, Transfer fees and gate receipts. I don't believe for even a single second that we have gone from break even to the financial shitter in a year where all income increased significantly to offset increases in outgoings. And without warning, this financial meltdown rhetoric has simply come from nowhere. Its simply not logical. And not true. We may well have trimmed the budget again but I'd imagine that's into relation of how the budget ended up rather than how it started, given we were presumably well over budget last season all said and done. That does not equate to the club being financially fucked. Yeah, if the club is in financial meltdown it doesn't seem likely we'd be in a position to pay off Kearney then pay even more compensation for Goodwin, bring in Houston (who won't be any cheaper than Nicoll) and sign a couple of players next week, which Wardrop confirmed on Twitter (Though I'm guessing it's Gary Mac and Muzak). I can imagine though that we have to trim our budget from last season a bit. Guys like Hammil, Jackson, Nazon and Ferdinand wouldn't have been cheap and probably didn't really represent great value for money for a club like us, though we didn't have much choice at the time. We probably want to cut that back a bit and get back on an even keel with signings that present better value and more chance of resale, like Hladkey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Budget slashed' could be interpreted several ways. For me the most likely - if true - is. (Figures purely as an example) : Budget Last season at start - 500k By end of season - 700k (due to payoffs of existing contracts and January signings) This season - 600k Which could be interpreted in both categories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things Scott and Mulraney have a good working relationship 100% so he wouldn't just go behind his back and approach JG . one other thing why Would JG pick Houston as not 2 never worked with him before Lee Sharp is Jim no 2 and going forward IMO will be for a long time . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The amount of rumours is something else. Someone is probably right, but god knows who. I can understand this from both points of view if it is causing issues, but it is unfortunate. Be interesting to see if Gus now helps to keep some continuity compared to last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacPherson should make a difference, but if I was a player that had more than one option would o he signing for the team who didn't have a manager in place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 If there’s an issue with Kearney travelling to and from Northern Ireland, then I guess Gordon Scott’s least favourite album is Radiohead’s OK Commuter. ...Six months ban from forum. Reduced to three on good behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Taken from BAWA. Well, if we are skint, we can assume the big man wasn't on the Glasgow flight despite being in the airport at same time as it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The minute Gus came back alarm bells were ringing. Its no secret that he and GS were buddies. It now appears that the whole commuting excuse could be a way to force out the manager. Then step in Gus. Of course i just put 2 and 2 together and made 5 but its another theory to the mix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenburn bud Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Stewart Gilmour on twitter suggesting that there’s more to this than just the commuting and location issue. I wish GLS would put out a statement and clear this up pronto. If OK is going then get it done quickly and get the new man in place so that we can start preparations and recruitment for the new season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
