The way I see it is with our small squad players must either be good enough to challenge the first team or have some sort of potential sell on value, preferably both. ZFA, Mchugh and Cummins don't seem to fit any of the criteria.
I really don't see any point in persevering with Cummins. I'm all for introducing youth to the first team but I'm yet to see anything that suggests Cummins can make it in the at Championship level never mind Premiership.
Re. Gannon - I think he'd be a better DoF than manager. He could sign players and bring through the youth while Mccall could be the player's pal and coach them.
Lots of our players have just started following Gavin Rae's clothing brand on twitter. My amateur detective skills are a bit rusty but please Stuart, don't sign Gavin Rae.
