GaryMc93 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 2 hours ago, Thumper said: Well I mean this is the north west counties league, which in the ninth tier of English football. You would hope not to be fishing it for regular first team starts, but at this point Ayr are very much beggars. Which again raises the question of where this alleged first team budget is going and what in the absolute f**k the manager was doing on a summer holiday during the break, during a global pandemic. The Cymru Premier isn't La Liga but it's the top tier of Welsh football. They're in Europe pretty much every single season. I would be hoping he's maybe one for the future rather than a starter. Only really comparison we might have is Liam Tomsett impressed for us in this league years ago and hasn't really made much impact beyond the 7th tier. Although it may just be he never kicked on after his loan spell. As for the budget claims is that something that was said on here and has grown arms and legs or was it actually confirmed by the chairman or manager? If they have confirmed it themselves then they only have themselves to blame if people are unhappy with the level of signings. However if they haven't put it out there themselves then I'm not sure if I was in their position I'd want that made public even if it's true as it will bring more pressure and valid criticism if this is the signings we make. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really do need three tier one (for the Championship ) caliber players for the top end of the park . Hoppy stated that a couple should be in for the Albion Rovers game , so these deals should be pretty far on at the moment . However the memory of the Toderov debacle is still fresh in the mind . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rumours are true, the player agreed terms with us then signed elsewhere. It's hardly a debacle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm86 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 TNS involved in our loss of Todarov. By paying Dunfermline £60,000 for McManus, they facilitated him getting a better contract than we offered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 That showreel literally shows nothing which means he’s either utter garbage or someone has made a shite job of cutting it together. Someone on FB said they’d been in Cumnock and he did quite well though. He’s also of a young enough age that he might he worth a punt provided he isn’t someone to be relied upon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
