To be fair to Loy, he barely got 10 minutes when we were already 4-1 down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it. We're still struggling for goals, and once again we're getting nothing out of strikers who (on paper) look like they should do a job for us. 45 minutes @ Airdrie.

sonsanorak Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Part of our problem is finances; we re skint and October will be tight for us due to the fixture list. There’s no money to pay Stevie off so it would be gardening leave and 2 managers wages potentially. I’m not keen on Durant or dowie taking over so I’m not sure there’s another in house option.

Old Scrotum Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Is there someone at the club who goes to watch upcoming opposition? All the back-room staff seem to be at every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have 1 home game between now and the 10th of November which can't be good at all for finances. Perhaps is sponsors were willing to stump up cash for new signings they'd be willing to do the same to pay off Aitken? He's only on a deal until the summer so can't imagine the pay off would be huge. I was always led to believe the going rate was 3 months wages but that may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought these affairs ended up in tribunals if there wasn't an amicable agreement but action was required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought these affairs ended up in tribunals if there wasn't an amicable agreement but action was required.The way I see it is that the manager has been performing his role fairly terribly for the best part of a year. I'd like to think the board have been aware of that and would have been planning for having to get rid of him. If it means holding back on a wage that would go to a player then so be it.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Dom Thomas really should be an excellent signing but Aitken being backed to bring in more players concerns me more than Thomas excites me. It's a fuckin travesty this squad is performing as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I mean, I like Thomas as a player, but would we not be better spending the money on a full-back? Winger wise we're actually well covered with B.Barr, Paton, Forbes, Beany (and at a push) SeaGal all able to play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a horrible ask for McGowan yesterday, but I thought he did ok. I certainly didn't look at any of the goals and think 'Grant Adam would've saved that'.

If only there had been a cup game or something similar a few weeks back where we could have used our other keeper instead of Adam to give him some game time.... What the f**k are the board playing at? Why is he still being given money to spend? Why for the second season running has he said we'll be running with a squad of 16 or 17 then been able to panic spend and spunk money on 4/5 extra players. Regardless of reputation, a winger is not what our squad "8 fit players" need. Not to mention even if he is the next Lionel Messi he'll get f**k all out of being managed by Aitk*nt.
