Well for one they could not sign any players as the window was closed. Two, they probably had an idea that Thelwell and Purdy were potentially coming in but during that time there was no first team coach. Do you not think it is prudent to have the head coach involved with the signings. Especially at the start of a new way of operating for our club. Just give them time. I doubt if they are all sitting on their hands doing nothing.

The first league fixture is the weekend after the second leg of the CL qualifier. Is three or four days going to make much difference in terms of how the squad looks and plays - I seriously doubt it.

I can't believe there is so much palaver about a word. I may be misremembering, but didn't someone from the club say that themselves? That they only wanted players that could deal with the pressure of playing for Rangers, or something like that? Clubs have always had a club culture. There was a time we didn't sign Catholics. That's was a club culture. What else would you call it? I think style of play is distinct from club culture, but it does feed into it. Some clubs put a lot of emphasis on the way they play, like Barcelona. That style of play is ingrained in the club culture. I don't think we're wedded to any one style as a club, it's more of just being dominant in a game. Like I said at the start, I like the aim. Whether they can achieve it or not, time will tell.

Aye he talked more pish than me

Well our stars are back at work tomorrow I'm not kidding when I say this but a few days intensive training at Gullane wouldn't do them any harm

How much time do they need? They have been aware of what is coming here since January. Do they need another 6 months?

Forget words and definitions. Our biggest problem to sort out is to do with long numbers.

I get some fans being frustrated by the lack of signing activity but for goodness sakes, can we give the new manager, support structure and owners a little bit of time to get in the building. Much of our potential targets were probably all Kopens, so we need to give Martin/Thellwell/Purdy time. I am also slightly alarmed by the emphasis from some fans on the CL qualifier versus Panathanikos. Are fans seriously expecting us to have 5/6 new signings all in place and clicking into gear for that game? I fear that game will come way too early for this new set up but it will be the reaction to any potential defeat that will interest me. We cannot let that game derail our season before it has even started. I would genuinely put Europe to one side this season and focus on domestic affairs. As long as the team is bedding in for our first fixture away to Motherwell, I'll be happy. Patience please. These guys are here for the long term therefor it requires long term thinking. Even from fans.

It means they will have to read 'Ulysses' and Proust while listening to Madama Butterfly.
