He seems like a genuine hard-working leader. 2. The next manager won't be Richard Foster now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was retired when he signed for us, other than the equaliser at Parkhead he has contributed feck all. I hope he's a better coach than player, he should call Stevie Woods and ask him how he's managed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also clear that he knows it and isn't trying to play on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also clear that he knows it and isn't trying to play on His injury record was well known before we signed him, so it should never have happened, hes contributed feck all. He has been getting pelters on here on a regular basis, now it's awww poor John he's had to retire, as i said he's been retired since he signed.

Only my opinion, maybe harsh but very fair. 12 clubs over 16 years and only 86 goals in total, just over 5 goals a year average ie he's not very good.

I've never given him pelters and I don't agree with you. Feck all? That's not the case. So people aren't supposed to wish someone well because they've retired due to recurring injuries?

I don't know about this particular case, but if we don't attract some additional investment from some source then this will become increasingly common. The likes of Ross County and St Johnstone and maybe even Dunfermline and Falkirk will be pipping us to signing targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been at pains to say everything is fine as it is. We clearly can't compete with other clubs who have more cash to spend but that is what it is.

I wouldnt be expecting the playing budget to be sacrificed for a back room wage if a backroom member of staff hasnt left, that's my very point.

Obika had an option for another year after this one... Which obviously wasn't taken up. So potentially the club hasn't gone over budget signing him as a coach Am sure someone wiser than me will rock up shortly to tell me I'm wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Investment - beyond what we're used to from the Well Society to keep us afloat - is the only way we'll be able to compete with those you mention.

Im not sure I agree with the dropping into the championship part. But. Anyone who thinks we can carry on as we are and knock back the possibilities of outside investment is deluding themselves in my view.
