The point of the subscription, however, isn't to obtain discounts - it's to defray the administration costs of the society.

He's been made an offer with a deadline to respond. We'll get the answer by the deadline and move forward whatever the answer.

Mine showed up a few minutes ago.

McCall said all the players offered new contracts were set a deadline.

I would imagine so, although it was good to know something has been sent out as I haven't received that email.

Might find one on here somewhere. Ah, there it is.

I think his injury set that back a bit. He was around the fringes of the first team prior to that. Hoping he gets more of chance this season.

John Wark for them IIRC.

That doesn't negate the fact they believed he was worth an extension after he had been on their books for a year.

I watched Wright come through when I lived in Felixstowe and went to the Ipswich games every week. He was tremendous as a youngster - like a young Randolph. No idea what went wrong later in his career, but he undoubtedly had outstanding ability. Seemed to be a confidence issue as much as anything,

Why fear? Bring it on.

Not only did Man City sign Nielsen, but they also gave him a contract extension - so they must have seen something there.

A sign that the journalists in the Scottish media are clueless when it comes to English lower leagues. I don't recall any of them ever linking us to Randolph, Ramsden etc. until they were pretty much done deals.

Because we've not all got bucket heids?

An ugly guy with Nike boots is going to sign in the next 5 weeks. Oh, and a guy with dark hair over 5ft 6" tall is also on the cards.

Presumably Tam had been a paragon of virtue and not had a dig at him or any of the other players that night. Stupid from Boyd? Aye, but it doesn't make his contribution any less.

Boyd was definitely a class act. Started off life in a sweeper type role as I recall and had a gift for reading the game. Switching to left back seemed to sharpen him up and he picked up a yard or two of pace. Joe Wark still pips him though - never shirked a tackle, his timing was immaculate and the coolest head on the park at all times. His curled left foot passes up the wing were always on target and he had a good line in keepie-uppie to entertain the crowd during game stoppages.

Ach, a season fighting in the bottom half of the table will maybe give a reality check to some of the moaners on here who have been complaining the last few years.

We did hold out - that is why they came back with improved bids.

I imagine we would have sold Ojamaa, Hutchy and Law when the offers came in last season rather than reject them.

What I don't forget about Malcolm is how some posters were trying to convince us what a fine footballer he was when we signed him.

As I understand it (and I'm no doubt out of touch with the UK financial laws these days), a "share subscription" (the term used in the email) is a right to buy shares at a specified future date or during specified periods at a predetermined price - it's not the actual purchase of shares. So it's possible, for example, that the club was able to secure funds on the 150k subscription without any purchase of shares having taken place yet. I agree we need more details, but let's focus on the facts rather than speculation.

If wikipedia is correct, then aye, he made his debut against Accies in May 2009 - about 4 weeks before McGhee made his big move up the ladder. EDIT: and was signed in 2007.

Lee Miller.

It's the board that deals with the out of contract players - McCall just tells them who he wants to stay. Seeing as he said he already knew who was likely to leave, and that he has been inundated with offers from agents, I'm sure he has plenty of options in mind.
