On the park consequences...off the park turmoil.

Thanks for putting up the picture of the ticket - very interesting. However, I don't get your indignation - I only answered what you said yourself...

We can only wait and see how it pans out.

I think that the SFA and SPL aren't finished with us yet. Although I think they've had their bum felt by the sponsors.

It's maybe not so bad to blood the young talent and bring in some U-18s. Teams have done it before and prospered.

Dependant on being allowed in Europe the season after next, it's imperative we get a spot. If we're banned for 3 years, we may as well build from the ground up. Three years in, some of those young guns will be old hands.

How will all this affect the quality and size of the squad?

 

As others have already said, it's extremely difficult to tell how it will pan out at the moment.

 

What I will say is that if Bill Miller is successful with his newco plan, there's absolutely no way he's going to be giving the manager money to go out and spend in the transfer market while creditors are still waiting to be paid.

 

The subject of players choosing not to stay is totally unknown at the moment, but what we do know is that Bartley will leave and certain players have their contracts running out. We already know that Papac is leaving when his contract ends and we have a few others whose contract is due to end as well such as Aluko, Kerkar, Healy and Little.

 

There's also at least two of our promising younger players who I'm not certain about contract wise. For example Darren Cole and Kane Hemmings both signed new 2 year deals in December 2010, but I don't know when those deals actually run out. I think they might be contracted for another season which would put them in the "1 year left of contract" catagory along with McCulloch, Edu, Lafferty, Broadfoot, Alexander and Fleck whose contracts are all due to end in summer 2013.
