Pull My Strings Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Watt as Vice Captain is a bit of a statement. Hope Goodwin knows what he's doing. Watt's clearly an excellent footballer but he seems like a guy who needs to be "managed" more than most. He's not a self starter. Goodwin presumably banking on the extra responsibility dragging a bit of extra motivation out of him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering why he has been given leave I would be extremely surprised if he wasn't away. His best interests would probably be served getting a club in Australia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Watt has shown a really good level of commitment and desire to helping the club in chats with Goodwin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Watt is 29 years old and will play the forthcoming season in the Championship. This is a career defining season for him, hopefully he’s realised this and the vice captaincy will help him fulfil his potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny arab Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 A fully fit properly motivated Tony Watt could be key to our league chances, agree with what others have said about him being man managed correctly but I’m sure Goodwin has a decent reputation in this respect. There are still plans to bring in at least one more forward which will definitely be needed as should Watt get injured/take the huff, we are back to asking too much from young MacLeod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others I'll need to look up If you want to take it a bit further since we became fan owned in October 2016 our profit (and losses) have looked like this: 17/18: £1.72m 18/19: (£436,000) 19/20: £346,590 20/21: £3.5m 21/22: (£1.0m) So a net profit of £4.12m over the last 5 seasons. Our Cash at hand on the last set of published accounts was £4,237,114. We'll post a pretty heavy loss for 22/23 I'd imagine given we ended up sacking 2 managers and signed a raft of players in January but the c.£1m loss in 21/22 largely came from us investing in capital expenditure projects off the back of the profit from the previous season - installation of new pitch, stadium upgrades etc. Edited July 14, 2023 by capt_oats 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just gives further evidence of the complete waste of resources that has been going on, by comparison, at our club.

Could be simply that United are happy to keep him until someone buys him, or at least takes him off the wage bill without a fee. He'll be in the Levitt and Fletcher camp (we'd be happy for you to stay but you can go for a fee/no pay-off) rather than the Mulgrew, Birighitti camp (you're finished here, please go). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGMilne Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I don't know how much should be read into there being no 2, 3, 9 or 10 in the squad numbers. Or indeed that Scott McMann has moved from squad no. 3 to 33? He's flown under the radar as someone who was should be punted but hasn't been so far. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you Behich is away buddy. The numbers are very strange. Where are Charlie and the Aussie numbers? Considering I’m hearing niskanen isn’t even in the squad tomorrow why has he been given the 7? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Scotia Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Doidge signing for us isn't dead. United interested but not willing to pay a fee for him (possible loan) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Doidge seems to me to be one of those players who is relatively shite but would score a bucket load against us (see also; Sutton, John). For that reason alone it might be worth signing him before one of our rivals does. Edited July 14, 2023 by Alert Mongoose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
