Sorry if I'm being stupid here but Clyde didn't spend any transfer fees did they? Are you suggesting Clyde have increased their wage bill by £100k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was backed . Didn't get his first choices but cmon at this level it should make a noticeable difference.

How have you been proven wrong by McCalls appointment? Win next week and we can go above Stranraer at least. He’s made a big difference in performances, players and results. What were you expecting? Promotion playoffs? Need to be more realistic given what he inherited and the managers at the helm before him. We were resigned to relegation before he took over. Elgin and East Fife changed managers now both safe. When we went to Elgin at the end of January we had a golden opportunity to go above them . Blew it as blew most opportunities since . I didn't expect promotion play offs but expected better with the quality of player brought in. I agree the damage was done in the summer but was still plenty time to change it . I'm not saying it's ability more dreadful attitude of the players McCall brought in. McCall was backed. It's league 2 . The standard is dreadful . His selections are baffling waited ages to get a left back we get one he either doesn't play him or makes him the scapegoat he plays Howie in midfield when everyone' is saying make him and Hamilton the centre backs. Plus Rennie out wide . It's mental. They are capable when played in correct positions and are up for it like Stenny however more often than not they aren't. Oh and makes Cuddihy captain. He doesn't look fit and doesn't even talk far less gee up the team. Sorry I stand by what I say . You're entitled to your opinion. Went on a seven hour return journey for players who other than a twenty minute spell in the second half looked like they couldn't be bothered . . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not been a fan of Cuddihy since the promotion season. I genuinely don’t know what all the fan boys see in him. He keeps our physio in a job at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde signed 7 players in January and 3 of them are on loan. Even if we say Clyde are paying the full wages of the loanees, that works out at paying these guys an average of nearly £600 a week until the end of the season. I think whoever has told you that has either misunderstood some information or they're talking complete shite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea what an under pressure board member at a club staring regional football in the face would have to gain from telling fans they've put lots of money in. None at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 40 minutes ago, BullyWeeStonehouse said: Half of it probably paid off all the shite we signed in the summer last year That’s actually a fair point. Not a chance these guys who have left to drop down the leagues would’ve just ripped up their contracts for nothing. I’s be surprised if the figure being quoted is accurate but with the amount of comings and goings, the higher standard of player being signed vs those who left and that January can mean players maybe come at a bit of more of a premium than in the summer then there is nae denying a fair chunk of investment has been made in the playing squad. That’s before you take into consideration the payoff for the previous management team and the fact that McCall wasn’t dropping down to this level for pennies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignoramus Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 The biggest concern for me yesterday wasn’t necessarily the defeat itself - that was pretty expected away from home against one of the league’s top sides at a venue we struggle at - it was the scoreline and the whole vibe of the game that worries me. We had built up momentum over recent weeks and had the rock rolling down the hill but now we’re in danger of just running out of steam ahead of the final push. This group has not had a great record to say the least in big games this season and next week is massive. Lose and it’s prepare for the playoff. Win and even then the work isn’t done, we’ll need at least three wins out of this final group of games to have a chance. I hope the players are ready for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your own club not in a bit of financial bother or is that another wrong fact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
