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

Has definitely got ability. It's going to be about getting several players with proven ability back on track after losing their way, for whatever reason. The only way we can afford this level of ability (if we can get them back on track). The outside bet syndrome. If the recruitment is good then the odds won't be too long. -

I note that you couldn't defend your strategy after my serious post of yesterday. Instead, you put me ignore (for x minutes 😂). Cammy, I can't help but joke. You post a table that depends on the European coefficient, after telling us that it is best to forget about European football this season. Your providing evidence against your own strategy. You gotta laugh Put me back on ignore 😂😂😂 -

Your strategy has got merit, at least to use in an Only an Excuse, sketch. Mare holes than Rab C's vest 😂😂😂 -
Back in the early 80's, sleepers were something in a John Le Carré book. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Head Coach

The 'Eintracht Danilo'. See if they want one of our forwards who doesn't get much game time. -

Thelwell has apparently been involved for 'months' So given that it is he who supposedly decides on the way forward regards style of play and then, the personnel chosen to fit that. It doesn't make sense that everything has been ripped up. Unless, he didn't really know or didn't decide until the manager (Head Coach) was appointed. If the latter, surely that is the tail wagging the dog. -

But if they were to take your instruction and not bother about Europe this season to concentrate on the League, we could be overtaken. -
We have to play all the fixtures at some point. Main takeaway for me is that we have as gentle a start as we could get and that when undergoing so much change, is a big plus.

Makes you wonder what else will have been lifted. If anyone sees Craig Whyte on a bike, take a pic.

I'd have thought the arrivals will form an orderly queue by the beginning of July. My guess is that the first will drop on the day of the EGM. -

Of all the countries in Europe that we have played*, .....Our very lowest win percentage is against the Greeks, 11%. Played 9 Won: 1 (vs PAOK 1998) Drawn: 5 Lost: 3 However, in the 3 KO ties against Greek opposition, we have went through twice. I reckon we'll make it 3 out of 4. * Slovakia and Ukraine are both lower at 0% but we have only played two games against each. -
".....As part of our defence today, we flagged numerous examples of similar incidents on club channels. These incidents raise legitimate questions about Scottish FA rules and how consistently they are enforced. To our knowledge, none of these cases appear to have resulted in charges against the respective clubs....." ________ How did the SFA respond to that ?

I'd be more concerned with the new Articles of Association that the consortium want to bring in and the reduction in transparency.

1. We are currently in CL qualifiers and should be looking to give it our very best shot. 2. How exactly would we prioritise the league? Do we play kids in Europe ? We have seen that our players are generally more motivated in European football rather than domestic. How do you change that? 3. Finance. The new owners won't bankroll continued failure, they want to take money out. How do you plug the increased gaps left by much reduced European revenue. Bear in mind that we will be wanting to use monies from player sales to invest in squad. 4. What happens if we prioritise domestic football but lose the league? Would you continue to prioritise the league and not bother so much about European footbal? Do you call that a coherent and viable business model? 5. Do we let our hard earned coefficient go down the toilet? Higher coefficient means increased prize money. - European group football is necessary for our business model and current financial situation. - Your binary choice is flawed and presumes we win the league if we are out of Europe and doesn't even consider a worst case scenario that is very possible. - Winning the league isn't a guarantee of a CL League phase place Note 25/26 SPFL winner would have to play one CL qualifier 26/27 SPFL winner currently on path to play 3 qualifiers. Second place would go straight to Conference League qualifying (3 rounds)
