Auld Jag Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 9 hours ago, MonehJags said: When you sign 'footballers' that never play professionally ever again, i think its quite apt. We have went from having a bright future to an unknown one in that space of time. Unbelievable There is no doubt that our rapid decline since getting top 6 has been both rapid and alarming as we don't seem to know how to turn it around. Archibald had a big part in the decline and his last 2 transfer windows were at best poor. But before that we had 4 seasons in the premier league and Archibald had a big part in that as well. That is why I think it is unfair to refer to him as a clown. But each to their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your boat is sinking you don't paint the cabin. Im just worried that it isn't working. It very obviously isn’t working-of course like a typical Scottish football supporter I’ll take that all back and even deny that I ever said it if we beat the Hertz.

You may find they have relegation release clauses in their contract. I think Spittal is out of contract in the summer unless I missed an extension announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our crowds will be down (again) The gate price will go down Our sponsorships will be down The cost of running and maintaining Firhill will be the same (or higher) We have a large office and back room staff We have an expensive squad If we go down, a lot of staff and players will need to go and a squad of kids or part-time players will be brought in to try and balance the books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As AJ has said, the 1st div is as tough to get out of as the championship. We could be facing years in the wilderness. To think bouncing back up will be easy is naive at best.

We went into this season with less money in the bank than Falkirk I seem to recall. We have had to pay two managers for most of the season Additionally we maintained a premier league infrastructure since we were going “back where we belong” i doubt the finances will be as great as you seem to think All the more reason to beat hearts and get some cash from a Hamden semi final Edited March 3, 2019 by jaf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Conversely, I’d keep Spittal - he’s got latent talent if he is managed & developed correctly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's been poor the last few games just when we needed him at his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
