Different colours, same idea.

I've tried to block out everything from the Alexander term, filed away beside M for Malpas.

We'll find out (relatively) soon enough if we can attract new investors, but for now - even without the additional income from Theo's transfer - no investment is better than a bad investment.

I'd also point out that running a football club is very different from running a traditional business for many reasons. Being good at running a bank at a profit for the benefit of shareholders is not the same as running a football club for the benefit of the community. That's why many clubs with experienced businessmen at the helm can still struggle.

I did read McMahon's CV at the time he was appointed. It was certainly good, but not the most impressive I've seen. Although I'm an computer geek by profession, my work has brought me into contact with many business people at many levels, including some that work in Mergers and Acquisitions. There is a huge difference between running a business day-to-day and negotiating a takeover deal, and in my experience, that's the time to bring in the experts. McMahon definitely did not appear to be someone with experience in those kinds of deals.

For the few moments of creative passing I'd go with Miller. His ball to Halliday in the first half was a thing of beauty.

Worst season ever! Stick on for relegation! SK OUT! Every player is absolute garbage! Bring back Theo! It's still pre-season! Good to get more minutes in the legs! We'll still win our group! (copy and paste to your favourite social media feed, then take your pick...)

The colour of grass, the bounce of a council car park.

Sounds like a man that needs more competitve minutes.

Some rotation in the squad this evening. Nice to be in a position to have that option.

I wonder if the Well Society lighting up fivers from Bair's fee and waving them in Barmack's face had anything to do with him withdrawing his offer.

Dundee and Ross county have owners with deep pockets who are happy to fork out wads for specific players e.g. Charlie Adam. The exact opposite of the model we are currently operating. And a model that has put Dundee into administration twice in recent years - including a 23 million pound debt and having to sell their stadium. If the choice is between that and developing another Bair, I know my preference.

That would certainly be ideal, but even in better economic times, I agree there would be no chance of that happening. (Or worse, they'd want to open it up to the community by laying an artificial pitch).

If there is a 15-20 goals a season out there who is available and who we have heard of, you can guarantee we can't afford him. Whoever we sign will be someone with potential, not an impressive track record.

I'm getting old, but I'd rather have a half full 10,000 seater than a full 7,000 seater. I like a wee bit of space to move around and get in and out.

I use AI to do that for me.

It would, but looking at the details is cost about 11.5 million to build 20 years ago. Unless we find some serious cash or a generous partner, we'd struggle to afford that - and no doubt that price would be about 20 million now. We could probably recoup some from the sale of Fir Park, but would still leave a large wad to find.

If that's the snidest SK comment you have left today, you need a lie down.

How long before he gets his Martian orders? (one for the Bugs Bunny fans)

No idea - that info was from a poster a few weeks ago who sounded like they knew what they were talking about.

That plus the payments we get for Kelly and Theo being on international duty is a nice windfall and shows, yet again, that developing players doesn't just mean from the academy. We have a number of examples now where older players (both on-loan and MFC) have gained international recognition during their spells with us.

Yes, according their home page. Although sometimes that changes nearer the day.

That's a long way of saying fans would be bothered, because if we could afford anything at all, there's no way we could afford anything other than a generic "lego" stand The new stadiums I've been at often have the same issues with leg room. I think every seating designer must clothes shop in the childrens department.

Sounds like we need a big Hollywood investor to inject some cash.

I'm sure SK will have been planning for that knowing that it was a near certainty Bair would be moving on. Strikers are always a gamble though. As well as being confidence players, they need to fit in to the system. SK has done well managing that with Bair and van Veen, so hopefully the new intake of strikers will have similar success (or at least one of them does).
