dibble

With the championship likely to be stronger next year with Falkirk coming up is anyone else becoming very worried about fighting relegation next year

Bannigan ? What does he bring anymore?

Get humped tomorrow and we are in relegation battle and don’t give me too early say

Mcvicar, Dinnie billy McDonald 😂

When the announcement about the new scouting system came through I asked if anyone knew how this worked. We don’t have the cash for our own system so take it we buy into an existing one which serves a number of teams. This was similar to the one Archie used. No doubt every time we get a player through this we pay the central scouting outfit - makes you wonder whose interest it actually serves? Fills me with fear.

So think doolans honeymoon period is about to end

Right back cover a big problem

Are Utd really good or Arbroath very poor?

Scouting team . Think the issue here is that it will not be our own dedicated scouting team . I’d imagine that this will be a large scouting network that we buy into and I’d imagine that they get paid when we take someone they have scouted on ? I’d think you need to be very careful with that. Might be similar to the model Archie used a few years ago

Akinola wasnt physical enough for league I’m afraid - wouldn’t have him back

The Williams signing- always wonder how a player like this ends up at firhill - very random . We don’t have a scouting network / doolan can’t have many contacts down south / wales/ Ireland . Is it agents just send round videos of players looking for a new club and you basically take a lucky ping. Doubt anyone at thistle will have seen him play before? 2 year contract is a fair time if it doesn’t work out

Love it

Turner in talks with a few clubs I hear. Doubt he will be back

Think we will do well to finish mid table next year. United will have decent team, Caley decent with money from cup run, raith are investing, Queen’s Park well off , Ayr relatively stable, Arbroath have decent budget and Dunfermline are on the up. Leaves us, Morton and airdrie to fight it out at bottom me thinks. Certainly won’t be budgeting for coming second which will lower the budget even more!

Can someone explain to me how this team never won the league?

Who is still under contract for next year?

Waste to everyone’s time us being in the play offs - team not going anywhere. Missing 2nd means less money. Gonna be very hard next year - lucky if we end up mid table

Yep think I remember saying that at the time.

New manager bounce over. Should have waited before making him permanent

Did you know we have only lost twice in league this year when Ross Docherty has played and one of those was when we got beat at Inverness when turner was sent off in first half. He makes this team tick. The other side however is that we don’t have a back up when he’s absent

From a board perspective smart move but not so sure . When Man Utd brought solskjar in to replace Jose the board said they would wait until the summer before making an appointment. After a few wins they then made him permanent and they then went on a dreadful run. Because he was a fans favourite the fans gave him far more time than anyone would have had . Think our board thinks cheap option and fans won’t turn if things go badly or indeed he’s not given resources to strengthen in the summer. Smart move? I pray it goes well - could be grim if it doesn’t

Fair point

Yes that might answer my question

Good luck dools but have to ask why the rush??? Have seen this backfire before - interim mangers gets appointed on the basis of a few good results and then it goes wrong. Partly due to financial reasons I reckon
