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

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?

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 -

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. -

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

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. -

Sell as many players as it takes to put a proper down payment on a mortgage to rebuild the main stand, into a proper functioning asset -
