Frankie 8,157 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Why Do The Trust take this mans bullshit? Del. Another Pissed Off Bear!!! del: 1. We're not taking any bullsh!t. You know me personally - would I? We're meeting with him to try and fix the problems we all see with the club. Yes, a few fans are concerned and interested in exactly what this all means but generally the feeling I get is pretty positive. 2. As for organising the support, this is exactly what the RST are trying to do. Some supporters have complained that JT and JM have made mistakes in the past and don't want them speaking on their behalf. That's why we've been working with them a lot recently to get them on board, agree to Trust policy and work together as a united front. 3. By doing this, then we can put a greater pressure on the administration because we're all pulling in one direction (under Trust ideology) instead of 3 and have at least one supporter on the board able to raise motions and affect genuine change. I appreciate that may not directly challenge the current issues of recent transfer woes but in the medium-long term, by doing the above we will be able to affect the changes we need to see more effectively. I also appreciate that for some that progress may be too slow and too frustrating for them. As such, if they want to pursue a different strategy either through the Trust or by a different vehicle, then the process is there for them to do so. The next 2 months are going to be vital for all of us. The best way to face that challenge is by working together as much as possible. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,157 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 No, because if he doesn't invest this summer, I'd like to think strategy will change markedly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyk 158 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 think as you have said Frankie he has to come up with the goods in the next few months or he will be in for a very tough ride, unless he hides away in his vineyards!! I think now the majority of Gers fans and ones who have stood by him this long are now seeing SDM holding this club back and not looking in the least bit interested in investing much money to get us back on top in Scotland. I for one don't see it happening but will eat my words if it does. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmck 117 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 so, if things stay as they stand, will the trust think he's put enough in? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,157 Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 so, if things stay as they stand, will the trust think he's put enough in? I wouldn't have thought so.... I still expect Naismith and at least one more - probably Whittaker. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmck 117 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I wouldn't have thought so.... I still expect Naismith and at least one more - probably Whittaker. even with these two players, once you factor in the players going out, he'll still have spent nowhere near the reported 10 million. do you reckon the trust would be happy with these two players and no-one else? i'm not convinced we've purchased, or are going to purchase, more than 2-3 first team players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,157 Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 If we sign Naismith/Whittaker we'll have paid money for the following players: Cuellar - £2.6million McCulloch - £2.2million Naismith - £1.8million Whittaker - £1.5million (possibly more) Beasley - £700K Webster - maybe another £500K in January (it's only a loan because of the FIFA thing) Add them together, along with the signing on fees of the Bosmans, we'll not be too far away from £10million. Personally, if we sign those players I'll be reasonably happy. We missed out on Brown and Faubert which was disappointing as they are real quality players IMO. We need to ensure we get someone of that ilk as the right side of midfield is still a problem. Whittaker may fit the bill but he's certainly not as exciting or as expensive as the afore-mentioned guys. Both are rumoured to be signing asap. I'd like to think one more will follow after that and then we can make a better judgement whether or not the money spent has been enough. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmck 117 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 yeah. we'll have to wait and see. though i have to say 1.5 million for whittaker is beyond a joke. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
