Nor will he be. He’s returned to his parent club.

Except he became a father prior to arriving at the club.

Fair points, well made.

See Daws name mentioned regularly and I’d wager nobody knows the role or what club demands of him? He’s not known to sign players. only being part of a process. Club invest in data analytics, perhaps the use of that analysis is open for debate. Factor in budget constraints and player demands those who arrive at the club are likely way down the wish list and not recruiters first choice recommendation. A lot of merit in your closing paragraph.

Not seeing any value in renewing. 18 games offers little when you factor in discounted entry for others on occasion for starters.

Empathy isn’t the same as caring for the club though. The winning mentality of a player alters their mood.

Merit in what you say, just felt we asked Armstrong then Plange to do their best work with their backs to goal and fairly isolated. Be interesting to see if our forward line get the rewards decent service would bring.

Bore off 💤

The Sun and Kettlewell now doubling down…

Suspect it will be all eyes on the director’s box today.

He’s been playing alongside Ross Forbes at Thorniewood for over a year now.

See this often. Daws doesn’t sign players. Oversees a data driven process, that’s a different debate.

Believe to be the standard.

Fair point well made.

Wouldn’t that be a great thought. Even better if longer term sustainability and infrastructure weren’t a thing also. But you knew that too 🥱

When it’s been spelled out for years in club accounts that fees are accrued over the length of contracts…. Aye, well done you for a couple of likes.

Kind of difficult when you’ve loaned them out to aid their development.

🤔 How much of a transfer fee do you think is paid up front?

Eh? Read what was posted and not just look at the words? Paying a relative hefty fee for the Australian and developing academy prospects goes against your “They have instigated a plan which is to bring in players from the depths of English football. Not once have they looked at the top 4 teams in the Scottish Championship.”

Valid points with merit until your take on recruitment. It’s simple logistics, the value just isn’t there despite some undoubted talent. Inflated transfer or costly development fees in a flawed system or priced out of securing pre-contracts - take your pick. Where does the Stamatelopoulos acquisition or development of academy prospects fit into your thinking?

Word salad. I was being descriptive on an observation. As for the Well Bois comment - on a Stewart Kettlewell discussion thread? An irrelevance much like yourself. I’ve defended them, not once have I said they never put a foot wrong. For the record, I’ll wager you know nothing of the Well Bois given the make up of those who frequent that area of the stadium. Plenty of your musings on what’s an emotive subject this week are exactly that - inane. An understanding of dressing room politics and doubling down as you refuse to believe is lacking sense or meaning. All in the schooling I suppose. At no point did I mention your opinion isn’t welcome. Playing victim card once again - no bother.

You would 🙄 Inane.

My old fella still blames Davie Hay for the decision. Loathed as much as the rotund cheat Derek Johnstone.

Committed to season long loans as having played for parent clubs can’t feature for others…

👍 Always next year
