Trying to bring it back to the original post because it has gone sideways.
It is likely that Kelly is one of, if not the top earner at the club.
Do we want to spend budget here matching or bettering what he is on for a further contract extension?
It be easy to say Malpas but to add a bit of debate I will say McLeish.
Some fantastic football in the season after Tommy Mclean left but bit by bit he managed to destroy that team.
Also wasted monies others did not have on Roddie, McSkimming. etc.
Ultimately he destroyed Tommys team.
So you think he should be top earner and that he is a priority of where we should put our budget.
Right back at you I am glad you are not head of recruitment. Bet you suck at Monopoly.
You need some consistency a brand new team will no doubt have it's number of bombscares.
Some of the players are fine to have about in a squad format eg Mugabi.
Spittal for one. McGinn for two.
Try sign Gent on a permanent but could be beyond us.
I'd offer Kelly a contract to ponder but on less terms than he is on.
The six are Casey, Blaney, Davor, Miller, Paton and Bair.
The players he inherited were on an absolute downer. But just pick and choose the stats to suit yourself.
You are the problem because it is not black (as you are) or white (everythings great)
The objective fan notes it's somewhere between the two.
He was then loaned to Cove Rangers in September 2022. After making 10 appearances with Cove, Johnston was recalled on 1 January 2023.
Just a reminder......
Slattery isn't awful - he's just frustrating because there's a deeper feeling he could be a lot better.
Started on fire and then went back to falling over.
