Bore off. Point out where I’m in the wrong? If it’s as simplistic as you make out, Burrows should be fearing for his job or creating a space for you in the boardroom.

It’s not difficult, but, seems to have you at a loss. Hardly a good advert for your further education then.

It naive as your amateur mathematics don’t stack up… Maintaining player budget may or may not cover the expenditure in January. These figures will be offered to club shareholders soon enough. 25 players? Lots of natural wasteage from our development programme with negligible costs given salary levels. Nor do you know what percentages we were paying in loan fees/wages contributions. Doesn’t automatically offer bigger percentages to those we may/may not recruit. Sharing 23 salaries is a fallacy. Do you think those we re-hired signed on for nothing? Time will tell who/how many we bring in. Just hope our new Head of Recruitment is looking beyond his previous employment & former charges.

The club offer training facilities/trial situations all season round & have done since dawn of player movement. Allows both parties to judge & gives rise to recruitment over numerous transfer windows.

No disagreement here.

That’s as maybe. I was focusing more on that we have a full compliment of squad fillers. Suppose time will tell… I’m not seeing a marquee signing just yet.

Be careful what you wish for…

Football has evolved in 30 or so years

His tweet thanks Exeter for his 2 and a half years!

Highly doubt we’ll see Carson return. Wouldn’t pin hopes on Kelly returning either... Nothing cryptic or a riddle so as not to twist the knickers of some.

Next Saturday, Dumbarton away closed door as will any others. No need to panic.

I’ll be surprised if they’re even quoted. Their coaching appointment shows the path they and their 120% wage to turnover ratio wish to go down.

Can only echo the sentiments already posted. Known him for more years than I care to remember. One of life’s gentlemen and will be a loss to our support. Safe in the arms. Thoughts go to his family.

Not sure how you quantify any of that. Opening statement just isn’t true, players can travel across the continent whilst following protocol. Proper scouting network in Scotland? I’d doubt the Lamie and Crawford types were scouted from outside our border.

Not me. I can certainly take a joke

Aye, name and team irrespective of whether it’s a load of nonsense or not - that by definition is a rumour. Take Scott Robinson last week. Best leave the cryptic riddle shite to the real scoops...

No. Trying to ingratiate yourself with some of this boards sycophants isn’t a good look. Had one of our top performers ask to leave though...

Again, make no apologies for posting style, fewer on here with issue than not yet, clamour for any titbits... You do know the definition of a riddle?

Here we go again? Bore off. Read what I replied to? Having just moved his family up into Scotland you would think it would take some offer to undo all that. Just an opinion that I wouldn’t be too sure. Likely profit on property purchase for starters. I’ve only been consistent in approach, fuck all to do with pissing on chips - there’s plenty to back that up without having to dig very deep. Certainly with the spine of the team currently gone, it’s a blank canvas for him and his team and as I’ve mentioned elsewhere, hoping recruitment is creative and catches the imagination where the re-hiring has not. Connor Shields a positive start.

I wouldn’t be too sure.

12 goals and 7 assists not enough in the top division in Scotland for a goalscorer? Positive signing yes, let’s see if he’s capable of the step up...

Not seeing that, landscape has changed somewhat.

We’re an option. He has other offers in Scotland.

That’s some imagination... I’d expect any new recruitment would be aimed a little higher. On Alexander signing players of ‘character’ - you do realise he knows Lafferty particularly well having shared a successful dressing room with him previously?

Maybe for the final... Queen’s Park are playing at the Falkirk Stadium this season
