North British Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The board and the management team have done superbly well in this window . Hats off to them . If our new striker is of the caliber of the six we have brought in them we should all be happy bunnies . Not only has he signed 6 decent lads ,but the oldest is 26 ,superb thinking . We won’t have the biggest pool of players in the league but hopefully these younger guys will stay uninjured longer . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay21 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) 15 minutes ago, Roxanne's man said: I was meaning the Player Transfer budget is there one? Or is the team relying on Free Transfers? Apologies, I'm fully aware of the plans and improvements that the club has made in and around the stadium. With money being made through Au500 and of course the face masks. The pandemic is a terrible thing and with no ticket sales to rely on, could financially cripple a club Though my focus was on Team Improvement, whether we could potentially purchase a Striker or having to rely on Free Transfers and Loans? Sorry for not explaining that fully the first time. We have so far recruited 7 players of which none are free transfers or loans , they are all signed on 1 and 2 year contracts , the manager is more than pleased with his players budget( how can you possibly question in your quote above “ is there a player budget !) and seems to be doing a fantastic job with it , he has the money he requires for a striker and a goalkeeper , nearly all team in the league will have loanees when the season starts Edited September 17, 2020 by Robbo63 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shirt sales look good though Mark Kerr has signed Great players so far, credit to him. Again, the fear of a poor striker being signed or a not up to standard goalkeeper has me worried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have given out more 2 year contracts than we have in any season in last 5 years , building a new shop , offices and social club , built a new players room , new kitchen and boardroom , replaced all toilet facilities within the terracing areas and made more ground Improvements Have the toilets been replaced under the panda pals stand, genuine wouldn't be surprised if there's asbestos growing in the corners of those mold infested walls in there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEd Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Those toilets were luxury compared to the previous terracing (less than) sanitary installations where you pissed against a wall, without the luxury of a sink with a cold tap. They didn't have a roof either, and sometimes the match ball would land in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 As there an old bath tub to pee in behind the wall? I kind of remember that from the mid 80s when I went with my Dad I might be wrong though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
