tartofmidlothian Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 As I've mentioned elsewhere and probably will again, one of the many news reports about us recently said someone (admins or a bidder) anticipated us being able to make emergency signings for positions we have no experienced cover for when we come out of admin, provided it's within the window. First of all, does anyone remember this quote? Second, which positions should we be able to recruit if that's the case? I'd say if Sutton goes that would definitely mean a new centre half and striker at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N User Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It's usually goalkeeper. If we had (for example) 14 players then maybe we could go for other positions. I don't see it happening with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punks No Deid Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Do you really think the SFA will give us any slack or help whatsoever? mmmm on their past record in dealing with us...that's a big fat NAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts51515151 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Surely there's players out there that would sign for us that have no current club. I've been getting ripped up here in sheep world for rumours linking Darren Mackie coming to us as he's unhappy in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezza Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Did this happen previously with Dundee and Motherwell? It definately never happened with Dunfermline as they where playing their under 18s to try and stay in the league last season and now have a ban until the end of the year where they will have to play youths until then also. There's no danger the SPL then SFA would give us a transfer ban or registration ban then allow us to sign a couple of players cause were short.

Morse Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Knew I had read it somewhere. this is from the BBC interview with BDO guy Jackson I don't see why we would be treated differently "Jackson is also the administrator at Division Two side Dunfermline where, he says, last month the SFA applied a "fair" sanction, a ban on signing players aged over 21 until 31 December 2013."

Jezza Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Excellent there's some hope we could get in a couple of under 21 players then if the SPL don't ban us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott herbertson Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 The big problems for us are up front and centre half i think - two positions where older players are a must over a long hard season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No club , cheap as chips. Wages. Im not taking the pi55, I believe he could do a job for us , could we not sign him on an amateur form?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Did you actually watch Rory Fallon when he played for Aberdeen? Amateur is exactly the word I'd use to describe him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
