Otis Blue Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 2 minutes ago, QoS99 said: Did I miss it within the statement but has it been confirmed whether we are fully full time or going for a hybrid model next season? I don't think there is a clear statement either way. Personally, I hope it's a hybrid model such that we have the flexibility to tailor the contract depending on the quality and circumstances of the player involved such that we have the best chance of attracting the signatures of the best available talent. I'm not sure that a rigid and inflexible one size fits all approach is the best at this level, and in our financial circumstances. In an ideal world and with a big budget to play with, we'd be fully FT, but we're not in an ideal world at this point in time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the most negative fan our thread who sees the downside to every single situation. There's no way you've failed to notice his tedious shite at the start of almost every match thread throughout the season. Yawn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlandQueen Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 34 minutes ago, QoS99 said: Same. I think 14 experienced players with the rest coming from the youths is unrealistic. Would rather 18/19 with the rest coming from up from the reserves. Agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything Ive seen has said we'll be full time next season. Pretty sure the Board said it, it was given as the reason Gavin Reilly left and Murphy must have mentioned it half a dozen times, at least, in his interview. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hybrid thing was my own personal preference (in selected instances only) if it were to allow us to secure decent quality in a specific position and also make the best use of the reduced budget available next season ... ie it was my own meanderings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that deals can be reached to get McKechnie, Doherty and Hutchinson offloaded. I agree with you completely about Gibson and Connelly, and would like to see Mimnaugh back too. As for Todd I'd be pleased if he stayed but not overly devastated if he went elsewhere. I think given his Carlisle / Annan connections he's a player that McLinden may like to keep at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlandQueen Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 2 hours ago, 19QOS19 said: "Yawn"? Bit of a bizarre response tbh. I assume this confirms you're a Northfield alias then, aye? Just bored of your trolling. It’s a forum to express different views. Some encouraging communications today and rapprochement. I merely expressed a view that we need a balanced board that can work together to deliver an ambitious future. I’m curious to see how Murphy does. I am like others concerned about the implication we can cut our budget and still push for promotion. Yes our squad was bloated with inferior players this year but imho we need a strong squad of 20 players + youth. Regarding Carlisle, happy to have hitherto friendly relations as long as it’s not a feeder club relationship that would damage our future independence and long term success. No Im not Nothfield but I’m pretty relaxed about having an honest on going opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this will change. As a sign of better communications I think we should. Years ago we used to issue a retained list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_South Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 16 hours ago, Homer Thompson said: Yes, I've seen a handful of fans say they wouldn't be back until the chairman was gone. There is no way there are a significant number of fans out there just waiting until the day Billy leaves the club so they can come back. New board members don't particularly generate excitement, unless you get taken over by a middle Eastern oil family. You don't happen to know anyone that works out there do you? New Managers and, more so, new players generate excitement. I know the club have been trying to get season tickets out after Murphy was announced last week. There's a fundamental difference between supporting the club and supporting the team. Those that support the club are interested in who's on the board, what the comms are like etc as well as the performances on the pitch. But the core of those people will attend games, pretty much, no matter what. We're lucky that we have an amazing core of fans who travel all over and who cared enough to put their hands in their pockets when times were tough and to volunteer now, or just to generally care and actively want to see the club succeed. These fans are vital and the relationship between them and the club, including board, staff, manager, players, is really important to the club. However, it's not going to make much difference to the crowds in the short term. Those that support the team, generally, couldn't care who's on the board or how many Q&As they have with the fans. They want a team that's either winning or exciting to watch (or both!) and involved in meaningful games. They also want a good "experience" dealing with the club. Whether that's buying tickets, state of the ground, catering etc. The trick for all football clubs is to get as many "team" supporters in the ground and then turn them into "club" supporters. While, at the same time, maintain and improving the relationship with the existing "club" supporters. I think thats the kind of update that has been needed, and very well received by all fans. hats off to Mr McLinden A very good post Homer and I can't disagree with you on that. My point is that by having such a board ontop of the (hopefully) successful team we can be even better numbers wise and that it doesn't have to be one or tother. And yes, I do know a few people out there, but by coming from Aberdeen the offshore industry certainly gets around. Sadly not many are QoS fans bar a couple though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he doesn't give 110% to reading posts properly and noting who they're referring to. He must lack the personal pride he always displayed in corporate life, or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tried to imply he was going to be in charge of the BoD, I pointed out he can only speak for himself at this point because he's the only member of the new BoD. He can't speak for people who don't exist yet. Edited May 14 by 19QOS19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
