It’s exactly what we need in our team. On 13/03/2019 at 17:26, Uncle Buck said: Fantastic signing. Hopefully Pittman joins him.

What is the chances of that on a big pitch against Celtic? Even if we did get to europe, we would get pumped out easily by some we diddy team from finland. Have you watched us lately? We could sign a young ronaldinho and we would stick him upfront and ask him to hold the ball up for who? We are shite. It might take you another year of this for you to realise this but i won't hold it against you. Infact, no, i will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be a surprise...as soon as English clubs become interested, we’re blown out of the water financially. I hope not...but fear the worst. If he was signing a pre-contract, I can’t help but think it would’ve been done by now. Agent will most likely be telling him to wait ...can’t blame him really. Look at Louis Moult when he left Motherwell...10k a week or thereabouts at Preston. Halkett will command something similar if his form continues.

Jambof3tornado Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 If it was a done deal there's little point in us sitting on it quietly when we have season tickets on sale. For that reason I think he has signed elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's assistant manager rather than owner, but he's outlasted the last two head coaches which is pretty unusual, so I'm not sure what's going on. It may be that his conviction prevents him from taking the top job officially but he has more power at his elbow than a normal assistant.

Started the following season at Boness and when it became clear he wouldn’t get the managers job then left that and became Livi under 20’s boss with close pal and former Partick thistle colleague Derek McWilliams.

Four faces Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Knew Studs many years ago.Hard work got him where he went because he was limited but effective,Looks like his boy has the same attitude, though he is a better footballer.Is he good enough for us to pursue? i really don't know for sure.One thing is is he is a late developer and seems to keep improving.

I am acquainted with another coach who spent jail time for drug dealing. He can coach seniors but not youth below U19s due to requiring to provide a 'clean' police disclosure for working with children. However, such criminal record can be rescinded on appeal due to special circumstances, like being an exceptional coach who has shown to have turn his life around.
