leomessi1984 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Very quiet on here about what any plans are squad wise. We are obviously still waiting to see where things land league wise, and start date wise, but it will be interesting to see if we strengthen and where. If we remain where we are I can see one or two being added. If things turn out well and we end up going into an expanded L2/3 I can see several more coming in. We may finally sign Jo Cardle Edited June 11, 2020 by leomessi1984 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL announcement must give you some hope that you might be playing League 2 football next season though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure with a few more defensive signings you'd fancy your chances of winning the league. The fact the SPFL released that statement gives a lot of hope, 11 out of 12 Prem teams is a big ask though. The lower tiered clubs will vote so long as the financial distribution suits them. Interesting times ahead, here's hoping it goes through. Would be a wide open title race if Kelty go up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several teams in it next season, regardless of us going up or not. East Kilbride will be making similar signings to what you've seen at Kelty this year. We would need a top CB, back up to Fash & another few quality squad players at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fine and well having money and making 'big signings' but you need to spent it wisely, as I'm sure Shire and EK fans can testify to Edited June 11, 2020 by craigiemack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigiemack Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Absolute shambles of a headline this morning in response to the vote yesterday, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/albion-rovers-gaffers-birthday-relief-22198675 The reconstruction vote was a chance to accelerate the pyramid, reward success and allow forward thinking clubs the opportunity to excel in the SPFL. The League 2 clubs have shat themselves at the prospect of Kelty and Brora coming in since day 1, repeatedly making excuses and diverting attention to other 'problems'. But i'm sure clowns like McMenemy, Tatters and Findlay have enjoyed their fifteen minutes of fame during this, I don't think they will get very warm welcomes when their teams are inevitably rotting away in the lower tiers of the pyramid. It's going to be a great day when it comes. Doesn't say much for Albion Rovers finances if they shite themselves at the prospect of going to Brora twice a year. Maybe Strachan was right... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albion Rovers have just stated that they didn't want Brora in the league. McMenemy wants relegation to be scrapped for a few years. Tatters used any excuse he could possibly think of to try and halt reconstruction while Cowdenbeath are terrified at the prospect of Kelty and other forward thinking Fife clubs joining the leagues. They used every excuse and diversion possible to avoid reconstruction and in the end they got what they wanted. They can wrap it up in any way they want but they are all terrified at what is coming up from beneath them. While they stagnate, everyone below them is progressing and that is only going to make things worse as one by one they drop out of the leagues. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand everyone is looking to protect themselves just now, but the apathy was there well before Covid. Competition breeds success and improvement, it shouldn't be feared, and can only be positive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
