I dont disagree with that, but we're still not spending £500k on a 30year old from falkirk

You're right...there is no way we are spending £500k on a 30 year old...it completely goes against our business plan

Absolutely ridiculous comments from some on the lad...he may be the type of player we keep around the squad, because he will be relatively cheap and can do a job. Slating a guy after 30mins of a friendly is a new low from some of the heid-the-baws...not that I'll be forming an opinion of him after tonight's performance either but ffs give him a chance

Priestman by a distance

Early thoughts... We will definitely get through this tie Priestman was comfortably man of the match Wilson done ok...do we keep him about until we at least get players back? If we continue with this style of getting the ball into the box, then we need to find a centre forward. New signings all done OK...however im not sure the keeper is assured as Ward with the ball at his feet

This mob are pish

For me its 'what did we get from that signing'...in Cooper we got a world class player, who loved being here, helped won us a cup, helped drive up standards. In Just we got a huge return on profit

Aye probably said it better than I could

The school playground doesn't stop the east stand from functioning Not sure what the cooper issue is? And as for the main stand, I dont think it needs to run full length for it to allow us to rebuild it

The tag is the best ever signing though...to flip him for ridiculous money in a calendar year must be up there regardless of what he actually achieved on the pitch

Its often said that pound-for-pound, Davie Cooper is our best ever signing, in how he helped build the reputation of the club, its playing style and how he participated in getting us the win in 1991. Does Justs signing eclipse that? Buying him for a nominal fee and punting him 12months later for lots of millions? Any other suggestions?

Cheers...bought it on your say-so🤣

What i am probably saying is that if we are going to spend a monumental amount (30 or 40million) on a new build, then Id prefer to spend a similar amount properly renovating the stadium we've played at for decades and generations. Maybe im a dinosaur, but I genuinely think that we can make Fir Park work for us if we invest in it properly

Does that mean I can watch it in Spain or not?

The differences for me between Tynie and that effort at Paisley are simply; All new builds in scotland have gone in a very similar direction and I cant think of one that I enjoy going to, because of the atmosphere and the lack of facilties. And...the fact Hearts have managed to completely revamp Tynie on a small footprint into the best stadium in the league, just gives more ammunition to stay put for me. I understand the viewpoint that you've got and the considerations you've placed into fan experience at any proposed new build but I dont see it happening. For me, we build a new main stand, utilising the footprint we have, encompassing hospitality, a proper restaurant and public house, even if that means we need to scale down the number of seats available to the paying public...not as drastic as what Queens Park done but its a thought none-the-less. We then move onto the next stand, in much the same way we would need to continually upgrade and maintain any new build

The world is literally our oyster the now...even players we have been conversing with must be thinking to themselves '12months, there and then who knows'

I'll always be reluctant to move...someone mentioned further up about the nick of st mirrens stadium and I fear thats what we'd end up doing, despite your more optimistic outlook.

I didnae call it any names

Absolutely delighted to see the deal done because the more money we bring in, the stringer OUR Club becomes...just as long as we trust the board to do the right things. Which I do

It was a yacht...but Im back on dry land now

I dont think there is a stadium in the world that doesn't require maintenance...its just the way it is. Im on a boat in the med just now, so apologies for short reply as im a bit pished

Good to hear the club at a high level, has got back to you...I honestly believe we are an extremely well run club at the moment and thats down to the likes of Brian and Kyrk. As for the main stand, I've listened and read the details from guys on here and p&Bovril, but I just dont see how a new stadium at huge, huge cost is more viable than redoing the main stand completely at what would be a much smaller, huge cost.

100%...

I absolutely would...making the club even stronger is what we should be looking at

Get that main stand built
