take a point at this stage. depressing stuff by the sounds of it.

dont think they will be on big bucks.

how can we expect to improve the squad, if the board of directors wont invest even a modest amount of monies? Lack of investment will eventually bite us on the bum! If they aint going to invest it in the first team, i would hope that money could be used to bolster the youths.

either you or i heard wrong. I am sure he said he WONT get the transfer monies to strengthen the squad. So has the groundsmen fecked it up again? not as if we've played many matches on it recently.

concerns about the state of the pitch? have they seen Ibrox, Easter Road, etc etc Until we start getting players in, starting improving performances, and the weather gets better, the attendances will continue to drop. McCall confirmed he wont see the transfer fee. He will only have his allocated wages available. So what is the point of letting him go for a pittance then? Squad is only going to get smaller and smaller by the looks of things.

Pittance we could make more with him in the side. I.e cup final Makes u wonder what is going on. Rats deserting ship

we are ment of have some clever financial people on our board, yet the belt is getting tighter. God knows what state we would have been in, if we had not made europe, and progressed in cups.

we've got the same problem with Forbes, as we did have with Gow. Both probably best suited to play just behind the front one or two. However, we dont play that way. So what do we do? Someone commented that Pollock appeared unready for the first team. Whilst, he may be right, that's all we have outside 11 players, and if he does play, then you can be sure, he will become another whipping boy. The boy is class, but again he aint a left midfield player. years gone by that 19 and under player would have served his apprenticeship in the reserves, unless they were exceptional players. The jump from u19s to first team is huge, and given that player develope at different stages, many good players will fail, especially in front of impatient fans. Why have an u21 rule for player to sit on bench, when we dont have an u21 team? How many players are available for free at this part of the season. I reckon the best we will do is loan signings.

how the heck is it McCall's fault. You dont half slavour a load of crap. He just in the job, been left with a group of youngsters and a few experienced pro's who's form are up and down. Whats the bet our board of directors have cut the playing budget again? Our squad is getting smaller and smaller. As a result we better get used to defeats, because it's probably going to get worse before it ever gets better.

so it looks as if Forbes is going to get hounded now that Fitz is away. Once he leaves, which he will have to, who's next in the hate list? My guess Craigan probably. Then who?

we all know Forbes cant play left midfield. So it's pointless debating it again.

I can't recall our squad so lacking in numbers and experience as it is currently. Can't see our youngsters doing anything against the big thugs of utd. Forbes is never ever a left sided player!

biffy must have ignored the instructions

Does anyone know how many appearances Fitzpatrick has he had in the team at his preferred position, that could be classed as a run? Until such time that a better player for that position appears, and that could be for anyone in the team, should we not just try and give him/them abit of encouragement.

give him his own talk show!

with our home form?

Utd value Goodwillie at £1.5m Just hope we've got Murphy on a good long long contract, as he's a much better footballer.

he also said the distribution of monies should be more equally spread. So i guess he has been reading this forum. The SPL is slowly starting to crumble, with more chairman speaking out. They just need to back up their voices with actions now. Better not hold my breath on that.

i think his attitude on and especially off the pitch is known to many within the game by all accounts.

very good performance and result today. Big pat in the back to all the players, staff and fans who attended today. What a difference playing players in the correct positions i.e. murphy & sutton Get the sutton signed up.

Drastic times perhaps mean drastic actions. Setup a league structure without the old firm! With their greed and bigotry, they've destroyed the game in Scotland. This is perhaps the motion the fans of teams outwith the old firm should push for. 1st Division clubs survive and seem to serve up a reasonable level of football, without the additional monies from sky and espn. Our clubs need to stop playing keeping up with the English. Never going to happen. Accept we are small fry, cut our cloth accordingly, intrust the youths, and start again.

we've heard this all before! wont be long until our first team is our u19s

i am not overly confident any transfer income, or freeing up of wages, will result in new players. Budget seems to be constantly being cut. Sooner or later we will suffer for it. I would not let Reynolds go for anything less than £175k. Hibs just sold a similar donkey for £250k. Remember we've been promised players in the past if they get past a certain round etc etc I am at the stage of not believing anything relating to Scottish Football until anything has been proven!

the player is entitled to go where he likes, but you would think out of respect of the players that have helped him at Fir Park, he would decline a move to any other SPL club.

since it's all about the money, perhaps the club would like to comment on the appalling decision to continually allow the old firm to collect 80% of media monies. For me that is more of an issue than trying to squeeze a few extra pounds out of the old firm fan.
