Don’t expect it’ll be a Twente first team otherwise they’d have secured the elusive Nijmegen friendly. Word from across there is that match may behind closed doors even at the local sports facility for similar reasons the first friendly last year was moved venue.

Point 1. Piffle. Look at the bigger picture. Point 2. Stating the obvious. To the best of knowledge, that’s not his end game. Point 3. Those making it clear they want out - you do realise current board cannot sell out despite their best endeavours to do so? The narrative being peddled by Society board members misguided or not is exactly that.

Except ‘stuck on 5-3-2’ is a myth…

Think there’s a world of difference in the opinion and reality

Bravo

Can’t disagree. Outthought by Peter Leven. Twice.

A nothing statement on nothing confirmed. Its arguable McMahon is determined to make it look like his wee video worked wonders rather than putting the club first.

Were 5 times that amount at last offering

Unfortunately time or the timeline of investment interest doesn’t stack up for many. I’d say co opted board members Dickie & Feeley are complicit in this.

Sorry to take this point in isolation amongst others - how much was raised the last time the idea was put into practice not so long ago?

We did. Manager offered his opinion upon questioning at AGM on the subject. Club recognise the issue & programmes are tailored to suit, fitness, preparation, matchday & recovery as advised by their medical team. It’s just unfortunate given most are non impact injury.

I concur.

Absorbing any cost doesn’t necessarily leave us short though and is a world away from ‘can’t afford’. He has my backing also.

🐼

It doesn’t. If it was in the thinking, club would’ve absorbed the cost.

Surprised at Paton & Spittal inclusion of some. General consensus and of those around us at the match was poor for the most part. Busy at doing very little. Hooking Davor to keep Paton on just compounded the problem.

Ooh, get you. You’ve answered why I said Er, no…

Er, no…

Information in the Netherlands very different on weekly salary. Chief Executive of NEC discussed freely when meeting some of the recent travelling party.

Ladies and gentlemen… it’s Steven Hammell

No. £75,000 wouldn’t cover the upfront loan fee demanded…

Throughout the footballing world there won’t be many who have solely become proficient having set out to run a football club. ‘these are the people’ never signed off on any player - they provided a football department a budget to work with. Burrows was a one off & someone who shielded those making decisions behind the scenes. Expect those who repeat the failure to appoint will be the same when the next in the role doesn’t have the social media presence of those before them. Summer and winter clearouts are de rigueur in Scottish football. Would be great to change that cycle, I’m not seeing it happen anytime soon.

Didn’t mean to take your post in isolation. I alluded to being skint and not willing to sweat assets in another post.

You do realise the use of data analytics has been around the club for a few years? It’s nothing new. How they are applied is what’s up for debate.
