    Did it look like they missed those 7 guys sent out on loan deals or was it something deeper e.g. coaching?

    With the kind of money he says he is willing to invest you would have to reckon he knows what he is doing.

    Not exactly, it was more of a dig at Sommers on £2500 per day, Wallace on deferred bonus of £ 315K and the other guy Crighton on a consulting fee. If they were doing a good job you wouldn't mind, but ...

    How many minutes was that substitute guy on the park for Legia?

    For the kind of money, and bonuses, this board is being paid the situation is outrageous.

    Fines? Oh, I thought it was brown envelopes they were giving them.

    I know what you are trying to say here, but you can't blame the supporters refusal to buy STs as being the real problem here. The board is being paid to run the club, that includes having more than one stream of income. If they can't do that or provide a product that the fan is happy with then you can't blame the fans (customers).

    So, once we have our 'Sack the Fans' demonstration, where do we go from there?

    Your choice. You do realise that it is unlikely that you would pressure him from this forum?

    I think McMurdo agrees with you on leadership ... http://wp.me/piQqg-1pJ

    I have the same frustrations and anger too. I just don't see the need to repeat the "whines" on every thread on every sub-forum every day ad nauseum. We all know we are not in an optimum position, but being constantly negative does us no good. We have to try and take the small positives and go from there. At some point the page will turn on this episode, hopefully.

    Kind of half and half. I would like to have seen McKay, Crawford, Gallagher and maybe Gasparotto being rotated through for some games. I don't think we can accommodate more than three at a time.

    Putting words in my mouth.

    With all respect to Walter, he doesn't indicate how this league will be funded. If Aberdeen win the Scottish league and they win a playoff to join this league, does that mean there would be three Scottish teams in the league? If this happened each year, from any country, then the league would become unbalanced. I'm assuming that Aberdeen don't have to play Rangers and C1888c, since they would have come first and second in the league (lol). As far as entering a reserve side in Scottish football, ask Elfideldo how the support is for the young teams. I fancy we could have this same discussion in another five years, assuming we survive financially.

    No, I did understand the difference in the funds, but if I was a customer holding an investment in the fund into which the manger transferred this stock, which is quite a risky and volatile stock, why would I be pleased about his actions? If the stock loses more worth would that not affect my investment, or is that not how funds work?

    As an indicator to the financial health of Scottish football, how many teams bought players this window?
  19. barca72
    Right then, that only leaves Aird. Does that mean we won't hear any whines about Ally not playing the youth players, at least until Xmas?

    For a stock that has lost so much value since it was first offered, and with the company having so much trouble raising capital, why would any fund manager want to add it to a portfolio?

    See the two areas I'm concerned about is fan participation and tv money. You talked earlier about the state of Scottish football, and to me the only thing that is going to help that is getting bums on seats, in the absence of tv money. I think that the best fan is an enthusiastic fan and to get an enthusiastic fan you want him (her) to go to as many games as possible. If you cut his ability to go to away games you are cutting his participation with the team. We all know that being at the stadium, feeling it, participating in the excitement is vastly more satisfying than watching on tv. The other thing is the tv market. What countries, 6 maybe 8, would participate? They would mostly be second rate comparing CL status. Then you have to compete for the rest of Europe as a market. How do you get the sponsors. Most of the countries mooted are as poor as ourselves in that respect. Apart from Rangers and C1888c, what other team from these countries would have a global support that would be interested in picking up the games. For UEFA to sanction this it would mean that they would be putting another product in direct competition with what is there at the moment. The CL probably wouldn't be affected but the other countries that have teams in the EL would probably not be best pleased. There again can you see somebody in Italy, Croatia, Spain etc. being interested in watching a game between Dun. Utd and Malmo? I would say that for a while at least we have to stick with Dumfries to Elgin. Maybe it is time for the men who have buried Scottish football - mainly Lawwell, Regan & Doncaster to start thinking out of the box and find a way to regenerate Scottish football. Of course a good start would be to welcome Rangers back into the fold, as a leader. Mantras are only a means of engaging fan participation. All of them just allow fans to be enthusiastic about their game-day experience. Even in the east end. I don't believe that you seriously blame the people venting their chants for what happened to Rangers. No one could have seen that coming. I don't think anyone believes that Rangers are invulnerable any more.

    I have to say I don't fancy the idea of an Atlantic league. For one thing it would be hard for the support to follow their team. You can get 4 or 5 punters in a car to drive to Edinburgh or Dundee etc., but how do you get them to jump on a plane in their thousands. If the support can't travel that leaves them to watch the game on tv. Now we see the huge amount of difference in tv money between the CL and the EL, ask C1888c about that, so what would the money be like for an Atlantic league with even less pull than the EL. There again the fans would have to buy another tv package You say you want Rangers and C1888c and perhaps Hearts and Dun. Utd. in this league and that this would benefit Scottish football, but we have 42 teams - where is their benefit if you take the big teams away from them? Are you advocating that this link to the domestic leagues is like a kind of part-time thing whereby the teams in the Atlantic league would play half a season in their own leagues? By the way are English teams linked into this league? Even the Championship down there gets better tv money than Scotland does as far as we know, since no one knows the terms of our tv contract. I'm all for Rangers and C1888c working together for the good of Scottish football but I fancy that is a long way off. You talk about meaningless mantras, maybe you could expand on that a little.

    Oh well, we'll take that to the bank.
