OK we will leave this here.

I think that's wise.  What KL did. or did not do last season is dead and gone. What we should be considering (best guessing again) is what he is likely to do this coming season and whether we should accept any worthwhile cash (if a decent bid comes in) to get someone else who might do better.

[jambo1961]

I'm sure CL will be well aware of KL situation and be dealing with it

 

Why even attempt to guess what will pan out

How many times have we opened a long awaited..delayed...brand new Main Stand against Partick in any month of the year?? You can take as long as you want to answer

 

TBF, apart from the last minute uncertainty, it wasn't any kind of grand gala opening (that's still to happen I believe).

In comparison, I was far more surprised by the attendance we got against Clydebank, second last game of 85-86, when we could have clinched the league title. 

20,198 was a healthy crowd, but over 7,000 short of capacity. We took nearly twice that to Hampden a couple of weeks later.

Just out of interest...is there any word on ST sales numbers?

 

Apologies for interruption...on the ST sales thread.

TBF I never swallowed Chairman Wallace's version of crowds back in the day. I don't for a minute believe that was the actual crowd that day.

If you are an existing season ticket holder you just keep the same card, I moved a row back and received my new card nearly a month ago I’m sure.

[Section Q]

I think our attendances will be up this season even if we don't out do last season's sales. 

[dc-jambo]

Can any of you tell me why you're carrying on this immensely tedious, personal conversation on THE ST COUNT THREAD???

 

ps thanks to FF and other dot-counters for their much-appreciated updates

Creeping up slowly , think they'll be wee upturn in sales at end of month when it's pay day if we sign couple quality players

Sorry to bring a dose of realism Selkirk but i don't think there is much chance of signing the "couple of quality players" that everybody seems to be awaiting.  It seems clear we are boosting the squad rather than the quality of the team. 

I remember the pre-season boost it gave the fans when we signed the likes of Dave McPherson and Hugh Burns in 87, Eamonn Bannon the following year, Derek Ferguson in 1990 . I remember walking along the track before the pre-season Spurs game that year due to overcrowding.  Even Berra and Lafferty last year. All big signings. Now? Riccarton followed by Forfar, Dumbarton and Partick?? Times have certainly changed.

And what are you basing this certainty that we won’t sign a couple of quality players on?

 

According to CL we’re working on Naismith and Milinkovic and daza says DM getting close but just you carry on with your “dose of realism”

The amount of money we've already spent on squad fillers? Perhaps you could learn from other posters points rather than reverting to Pravda style responses complete with emo**s. Just saying..

Milinkovic and Naismith.

 

Our team was really good last season apart from CM and we were light on options. Look on the bright side. If we do get them on permanent deals there can be no excuse of underachievement. 

 

If we have a good season then excellent.

 

If not? Bye bye Levein.

So you’re claiming Levein lied when he said he is trying to sign Skinny and Naisy?

Of the four you quote only McPherson was an excellent signing IMO. Of the 8 or 9 Signed I am excited about Burns, Lee and Uche (who I think could be excellent in our league). And that is before we maybe permanently sign one of the loan players (any would be a good signing in the  SPL)

I’m moist at the prospect of Milinkovic returning

but then he’s no Hugh Burns

I agree with you, despite what others have came back with. 

 

We seem to be signing quantity over quality at the moment. I think the best we can hope for is signing up naismith and milinkovic. 

 

You can't say a negative (even if it is realistic) thing about the club at the moment without people jumping down your throat on here. 

 

I don't understand anyone who is excited about the players we've signed so far. Very underwhelming.

You’ve contradicted yourself there. You say you agree with Enzo but then go on to say we’ll probably sign Naismith and Milinkovic! 

 

People (rightly) jumped down his throat because he has stated we won’t sign the couple of quality players we need because of the squad strengthening we’ve done. This is despite the fact our manager (who Enzo is quick to slaughter as being too negative in the press) saying we’re working hard on both and getting closer and that we’ll try and get Mitchell back in August. 

 

It’s baseless and unfounded negativity and pessimism and it rightly gets the response it deserves from more balanced supporters.

Yes, i agree. The best we can hope for is Milinkovic or Naismith. I wouldn't burst the bank for Naismith though unless we're going to play him in a more advanced role than last season.  You just have to laugh at some of the responses to any form of criticism of the club on this board.

You say we're going for quantity over quality.

I think that's being unfair to all of our signings, but the fact is we were very light on options last season, relying on youngsters playing out of position.

So we had to increase the quantity of players we had in our squad and I think it's fair to say we don't have the finance to afford "marquee signings" for every position.

Having said that, the new players so far will be an upgrade at least in terms of experience.

Getting Naismith and Milinkovic is what we need to stand still. They were part of last seasons team that finished 6th.

We have been poor for the last 2 seasons so if bringing in players from the English second division, a relegated Patrick team and a 35 (soon to be 36) year old striker leaves you anything other than negative and pessimistic then I don't get it. 

 

Also, I didn't say we would "probably" sign milinkovic and naismith. I said that bringing those two back are the best we could hope for but these signings still seem to have a long way to go.

So by that logic Naismith and Milinkovic would replace themselves and most of the other eight aren’t replacing anybody which means lots more options than last season and therefore very good recruitment. Totally agree

You do realise it doesn’t matter WHERE you sign a player from, it’s how good they turn out to be. Countless examples of players signed from these types of places who have been fantastic examples. 

 

If you’re sitting feeling negative and pessimistic ahead of the new season then I pity you and think you’re possibly supporting the wrong team for your expectation levels

I could turn your comments right round by saying people can't say anything good about the club these days without the negative platoon jumping on them.

It's called a difference of opinion.

[Neon]

Some of these guys may have been on our radar for sometime - Even if 50% - 60% work out we may have a decent season.

 

I do not expect miracles next season, However I do think we will end up fourth with a strong, depth and strength.
