Pretty much... whether correct of not he told a friend of a friend he didn't want this 'group' as he wouldn't get his way on a vote. Surely this is just rumour and he can't be that insecure as surely people vote for the interests of the club...? 2 minutes ago, 19QOS19 said: Or he himself is a puppet... in one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McLinden is prepared to sink good money into the Club then he's quite right to want a big say in things but if he's just coming in as Chairman or Director then he's no right to demand who is or isn't coming onto the Board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure that was Brooks Milesons view too... But I do understand what you mean on that side.... If he is the chairman then it needs to be announced, however we don't know the financials that the other prospects were looking at... all just sounds like the usual lack of transparency Sadly lining up to be another shambles and underlying why ''Queens'd it'' will soon be replacing 'Cocked it Up' in daily verbal usage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll need to see how the play-offs turn out before we start thinking about that. If they're relegated, Inverness may be considered favourites, Hamilton could still be here and also Cove are still here. Queens have got a lot to sort out in the close season on the Boardroom side and playing side, depends how those go before we can think about the new season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think higher than 8th in League 1 is realistic? I think i did TBH. To avoid the play offs must be regarded as a very successful season for Annan. If you look at the points at the end, Annan squandered way more than 10 over the piece ( i know all about it balance’s it’s self out ) ALEX Wilson is correct with his stats on % wins in charge Bartley 37.7 in his time murphy 37.4 ( 7 years ) Annan should be able to be mid table. Budget would dictate otherwise no matter how skilled the manger is. Let’s see what happens with the new guy next term. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katboy Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Reading the last few pages has certainly been more interesting than in recent weeks! Like most I was pleased with Bartleys appointment. He spoke well, it wasn't one of the usual merry go round. I hoped it would work and wanted him to do well. However, following a recruitment shambles his post match interviews became more and more bizarre. He was set on playing a system that didn't suit the players that he had signed in the first place, and was unwilling or unable (probably both) to change it. A manager who has a bit of humilty and accepts when he has got it wrong can usually buy himself a bit of time. Bartleys insistence that he and he alone was right bought him no credit. His departure was long overdue. The news of this brought the biggest cheer of the day onboard the Travel Club bus. However, we can finally put this season to bed. The next appointment is crucial. We have to get it right, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as shite as we've been all season I don't think our goalkeepers have come under much if any criticism. Quite impressive tbh. Stone has the makings of a good goalkeeper and will be at a good level next season like you say. For us, I'd be happy enough with Botterill next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Hearts already having Gordon and Clark for next season I'd expect Stone to be loaned out to a Championship team for a season.

SEETHING Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) Thanks lads. IIRC he didn't do particularly well at Partick when he was on loan there, so that's encouraging. Fingers crossed you get yourselves sorted out. Forfar 0-3 QoS in 2002 to win the old second division remains one of my favourite days out at the football ever.

Aye, you'd think with the poor results we've had that the keeper would be getting some pelters but can't really think of any major blunders that Stone made. (obviously someone with a better memory than me will come on to point out one or two.) He stopped us getting a pummelling against Dundee Utd and probably kept the score respectable in other games too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must get back to part time football. Marv gave a good example we were interested in Edinburgh City players in the New Year but they were on much the same money part time as our full time players. Even right now another example is Tommy Goss he will make more money working and playing at Annan If we are part time then we can pay top end wages attract the better player rather than sign boys in the hope they suddenly become men overnight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there’s probably a truth in a lack of respect. It would also seem likely that a number of our players are ill disciplined arseholes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
