He’ll be here because he’ll have the reins. Therefore it’s a clean slate and the last few years have little bearing. I wasn't aware it was made public that Brown had complete control now over transfers, and the previous policy had been completely ripped up. Not counting factors like location and wages which can't be "clean slated" but never mind all that... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If location is a factor in our poor transfer record then we should probably just liquidate and stop wasting everyone’s time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muZZa__44 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I don’t mind us going to the English non-leagues every once in a while but not as a main priority our best buisness this season was shock and horror going for players in the Scottish signed 7 players from there Jamie Murphy - great signing George Stanger - good signing Anton Dowds - good signing Logan Chalmers - good signing Jack Sanders - decent signing (was poor but improved near the end) Robbie Mutch - decent signing (was brought in to be number 2 and has been okay in that role) Aiden McGeady - not good (only outlier thou his priority is on his backstage role) as long as we prioritise on strengthening our squad with players from the Scottish leagues and then take risks on the English non-leagues for squad depth I don’t mind it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioning it on here doesn’t make it true. For every East Coast player who would rather sign for a Raith or Dunfermline due to location, there’s a West Coast player who’d rather sign for Ayr. We’re not out in the sticks. Our neighbours up the road do just fine and Ross County have held their own amongst clubs spending equally as much as them.

D'Jaffo Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 The one thing you can say is the noises coming from the club are better than last summer but that’s only because they were completely silent from the playoffs until about July. I think next week we could start seeing some movement and then hopefully we can start to feel a bit of promise about next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Call me a happy clapper all you want but even though it's all just rumours and speculation I am happier at the type of players we are getting linked with, let's at least let the transfer window open properly before we start panicking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the club doing that suggests this is going be any different? It’s still the same members of staff that are overseeing it AFAIK apart from Brown in for Bullen. Don’t get me wrong the links with Oakley etc is promising but until they are pictured with the scarf above the head fans have every right to be sceptical. The club haven’t done anything to earn goodwill in that department. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm basing this on past experience, not hopes and dreams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened with that he was to appear in court over that and can’t find anything online He gave a really embarrassing interview about it where he thinks the club shouldn't have sacked him over it despite being charged with acting in a threatening and abusive manner - link Quote Mr Gibson was cleared of a racism allegation in court after trial, but found guilty of causing a disturbance at a Tesco petrol station. The case concluded on November 17, 2023 at Dumfries Sheriff Court and the former Queens man was ordered to pay the supermarket employee £500 compensation for behaving in a threatening and abusive manner. Sheriff Colm Dempsey ruled it was not racially motivated. Gibson said of the August 14 incident: I was very confident l'd get the verdict got. He's saying that like he's an innocent man who has just been ruled such 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Gibson did it the wrong way around. If you do a crime but it's not racism, you get Annan. If you do racism but not a crime, you get Hibs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
