would like to speak to the new gaffer first, not fussed about jumping into the first offer that comes along but is wary that it isn't always down to the player when offers are made to the club!

he is my mate, all I'm meaning by that is that nothing has been signed and there's plenty to consider!

it's his sisters wedding this weekend hence him coming home! Has a meeting at the arc on Monday so wouldn't count your chickens he will be signing next week

especially when it's going towards the pitch and refurb of public areas such as the centenery

hmmmmm not bad!

I don't know enough about the guy to get too excited about his appointment, anyone care to enlighten me as to why he is a good appointment in their eyes? Would have been nice to have got a name so to speak, not to say that they are always successful though!

I agree weeyin, think Cardiff would b a fantastic move for him but don't see them paying 800k for him

Taking time over the weekend to think over the move, holding out for another club that has contacted the club this week to make an offer over the weekend! My understanding is that he isn't 100% on Bristol.

I know David personally and if he is away to Bristol city it's news to me! I wouldn't panic just yet!

which is what i would want , with 4 young players making up a squad of 22

Whilst i take your points on board melvin, I really dont think we can count anyone in or out of the job, and can treat sanchez being a shoe in as hear say. There is also absolutely nothing to suggest that nijholt is out of the running, I think at times like this, we are all guilty of making assumptions, then we all jump on the bandwagon and run away with ideas of gary mac turning it down, sanchez being the favourite, nijholt out the running. The club have been as tight as a ducks arse on this, and with no official word on even a shortlist everything is mere speculation, as boring as it is I dont think anyone on here can say anything for sure until mr boyle and co make a comment hopefully sooner that later!. one positive thing is craggs seems to think we will have someone appointed this week, with him taking training id think he would have a bit more info as to the likelyhood of when someone and who that person maybe appointed!

im with you postie jim, although i cant help wonder if there is anyone else out there that we could get that hasnt been mentioned yet!

led to believe that interviews took place yesterday, with staff being told that if names of candidates were leaked their jobs were basically on the line!. that came from someone working at fir park. to be fair if the names that were interviewed are those mentioned in the rancid report id be pretty happy!, not sure about staunton to be honest but the calibre of manager has certainly jumped from those that were linked a few years ago!. id be happy with a gary mac and staunton partnership, or a nijholt and and an assistant set-up.

Good point I forgot about that!

remember mcghees comments when he joined us saying he didn't like putting people out a job by bringing in his own backroom staff! Boyle loves leitch he was instrumental in bringing him back to assist malpas much to malpas dismay! I would put my mortgage on leitch being our new manager! Not my first choice but I'd get behind him all the same, incidently leitch and Clarkson are close so the only saving grace from that would Be us having a better chance of keeping hold of Clarkson!

What makes you think Boyle hasn't got a contingency plan?

might be getting ahead of ourselves here, apparently we are marginlly ahead of st mirrin in our quest for european football

To be fair mate he has been injured a hell of a lot since arriving at thistle! and had more good than bad at well from what I remember a lot like McLean!

il second that, we should not be letting him go! no way!

he is indeed and he is a cracking prospect!

going to be at strathclyde hilton, date tbc likely to be 17th or 24th May at the moment!

Just spoke to the man himself, PISH! Pissed himself laughing when he heard it!, think the players are at the windup big time at the moment! case closed

i really like marc as a player and think he is a useful player to have in the squad, think he is far too easily made a scapegoat though when looking for someone to highlight as a weak link or having a bad game. I would however only play him or keef, think the roles they play and what they bring to the team are too similar.

how does that asian handicap betting work mate? could do with a wee win like that right now!

going for a draw
