Guest Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 1 hour ago, UpInTheAyr said: McCowan has had the kind of impact I've been expecting McGuffie to have the past couple years. Don't expect him to sustain it over the whole season, he'll need a rest at some point. Hopefully this speculation doesn't affect him much, especially Saturday. I expect any bids around January will barely scrape 100k with clubs thinking just because it's Ayr they can pull a fast one. First off I can see no reason why Mccowan will lose his pace, skill, workrate, shooting ability or passing quality over the next few months and as for bids, well, Liam Lindsay netted Thistle £350k PLUS a 20% sell on from Barnsley, so given that McCowans position tends to bring more interest and value balanced against Partick being bottom end SPL and us top end Championship I'd think that a similar valuation if not more should be easily achievable, especially in today's market. Remember he's got 18 months remaining on his current contract and also we'd be due a development fee if his contract was just run down, so I think we should forget about silly valuations such as £100k for one of our countries hottest young properties............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As will Forrest’s, Moffat’s or Kelly’s. The same thing happened with Shankland although a lot of that came about with him not being fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachlan has stated in the interview that £250,000 would not interest him for a player the calibre of McCowan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Lachlan has stated in the interview that £250,000 would not interest him for a player the calibre of McCowan I think that was about Shankland last season. We can afford to be more picky this time round as he’s got more time on his contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his first senior year, you think he's going to maintain current form over the course of a season? Very unlikely. And as for the 100k fee you and the club can disregard it all you want, doesn't mean other clubs will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Mc Trusty has replaced his position , still 5 Directors along with Lachlan , Jim Kirkwood now active on board full time after giving up Troon , so in real terms only down on one regular from last season , also frees up space for any new investment as a space on the board available 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 To some degree , more of a disagreement which could have resulted in a split boardroom I have heard A disagreement over what? Would I not be right in say Pettigrew didn’t actually pay money in nor get anything back because he was only a fan rep? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Bit disappointing that, Mark is extremely capable. He probably tried to take Lachlan's phone off him!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to fester , couple of directors not happy for some reasons so have decided it best that they resign , it happens regularly on boards where business wants to go in new directions , I don’t think board will issue to fans why directors leave club Edited November 7, 2019 by Robbo63 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
