Lebowski Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 It looks like we've handled this badly, by trying to do the right thing initially by staff, wage referrals and no immediate redundancies. It's no surprise we're toiling, revenue has been halved, but we won't be the only ones. You can't blame the players if they're asked to take big cuts, while we sign players. Any player wage cuts should have been sorted out earlier, not on the eve of resuming training and while we're looking to add to the squad. Most of the article is obviously rumour and so on, but it's bad PR for the club. I think it's probably been prompted by the return to training and players coming off furlough, along with the government furlough amounts tapering down. We'll be back playing football in front of no crowds for the moment so no discernible increase in revenues for that.I don't see how we can sign players in this environment unless we agree informally with players currently at the club that they'll go back on to their original contracts with a year extension when revenue recovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zing. Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Youth set up is being completely ripped up according to SSN. Unclear if it’s temporary or if we’re going to go a different way once things are back to normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porteous is really the only player that's broken through in a significant way. There's been a few who have made some appearances / been unlucky with injury, but that's a poor return over such a long period. There are clubs who don't have a full youth setup yet have brought through more regular players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Golden Generation, we have been painfully unproductive despite spending more than probably any other club outwith the OF on our youth system. Needs to be overhauled as return on investment has been poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Terrapin Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 What a guy Ronald is. Club crumbling around about him, Tick Tock sounding in his ears, administration on the horizon and he manages to keep his spirits up. Seriousy though. he speaks well and seems to have taken to the club in a big way. Encouraging signs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snifter Pee Rot Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Don't see the problem with her going to Baillie Gifford FC tbh. The Lennon fiasco (which is still a great mystery regards what went down and what it cost the club) and then the disastrous Hecky appointment put us back big time. Wee Ron can bring in his own guy and I will enjoy all the LD lickers suddenly hating her guts as Zelda's new evil twin.
