Perhaps the fact that we are trying to sing people is an issue 🙄

Haha well spotted. We keep serenading them instead of signing them

Cheers Bongo. You know if we have many more lined up or are we running low on targets now? 

Been a very hard window so far, players become available nearer the end of the window, still confident more will come in 👍

 

Having a difficult time getting rid of players hopefully that changes 👍🇱🇻

Fully back Ann, however she has made some big mistakes and statements have proved to be fiction. Can understand why some are critical of her and her management style.

IIRC she was the one who said things would be more open, yet we have the CL and AmcP debacle and also the state of the pitch. She needs to be aware of what the fans are saying and refute some of the negative comments.

We clearly aren't being disrespectful enough. 

Maybe get them to clean the boots, that should help it on  :)

Roy McGregor is very rich indeed. 

 

They would probably be 4th tier without him 

Always wondered how they bring in decent players

The fact we’re 5 points adrift and so far have only brought in one player on a 6 month deal is a disgrace. If we lose tonight that fact will become more apparent.

 

Ann Budge is letting us down time and time again, she should be throwing caution to the wind.....this hasn’t happened so far.

Budge isn't my favourite person but you're talking baws son....!

What debacle ?
 

She has openly said what they are both doing ?
 

Stendel is focusing on identifying who he doesn’t want and CL/AM are helping move them on.

 

Stendel is then concentrating on the team and getting players in.

 

I really don’t know how much clearer things need to be........

All good and well saying it’s baws but the fact of the matter is that we wouldn’t be in this position had she acted sooner.

Would you agree with that ?

Would you also agree that it’s a strange situation to have the ex manager and co still hanging about in the background ?

We keep saying it’s difficult to bring in players because of our position in the league.....what about the fact we have a new man in place but the ex managers still there, that must seem fairly odd to any incoming player.

I would wager that any potential signing won't know or care that CL and AM are still on the payroll.

Been quite slow across all clubs just now in getting players in and will speed up.  Pretty typical for this window.

 

Are we going back to the same as when it took so long to get Stendel in.

No one knows for sure however Stendel would not have been available so likely we would be stuck with A.Nother name banded about as per last 2 managerial appointments.

This has been covered to infinity. It isn’t ideal however Stendel new exactly what the situation was with both CL and AM when he agreed to join. It appears both CL and AM are doing exactly what they were told to do by Ann and as such are not influencing the team in any way.

Hasn’t put Donis off and until a player we are credited in having interest in says the reason he was put off is because of your reasoning above, it will remain pure speculation on your part.

I can't see how we can get Boyce if competing against Sunderland on wages.

Surely they'll pay way more than us?! Like plenty more..

The other Scottish club who’s tabled a bid could be Aberdeen.

Have you listened to/read anything from Stendal’s comments?  We are trying to get players in. We are not an attractive proposition at the moment, January window not the best, Stendal is not experienced at recruitment. We are hounding away any support he can get ie Levein and McPhee. Ann has put on hold some of the infrastructure projects to support the first team focus.  She is getting absolute dogs from certain areas of the “support”. Why should she be putting more of her money in when folk are trying to get her out?  Can’t have it both ways. 

 

Pleeeeeease can we get our manager's name right? it's Stendel. Really irritating how many people are spelling it like that. Dunno why but it's bothering me so much but it just is!

For a senior player that is a weird set-up IMO.

He’s only 22 and seems to hang about with Cochrane, he seems a bit immature.

They’re helping move players out.

 

This has been pretty well documented though.

I’m well aware of what they’re allegedly doing, including finding players supposedly.

How’s its going? How many have left? Did they speak to Whelan? Berra? I know CL spoke to Keena and Wighton (at the back door and the corridor) but it would seem they’ve not achieved much, not that I’m shocked.

Not any more I don't think, though they may be more inclined to take a punt, average wages now showing their 140k to our 137k which is negligible. However their league position would be a persuader for me

The less they do the better really. Would be good if they moved on of their own free will and save us paying them off and burning more cash

Yes indeed, one of them is an alleged PHM but both Fifers so unlikely to do that, both millionaires too. CL is in his last job in top flight football.

Another minted owner. The guy Cormack has obscene wealth, and Aberdeen pay massive wages already as it is.

 

But I can't see Aberdeen making any move unless they sell Cosgrove.

The internet has ruined you.

 

Its easy done if you can’t think for yourself though......just read something and that’s it. 
 

Whelan and Keena have gone. Berra told he can go. Wighton and Mulraney to leave within days it would appear.

 

That would be 4 out 5......not a bad ratio so far.

decent move for him as he may look decent in that team and league, good for us to get him off the books and a few quid too. 
 

he’ll get a few quid out of playing over there. Atlanta is a bit of a hole in a pretty nice state though

Can't wait for the thread every time he scores (?) with videos and people claiming he had potential all along and looks to have improved...

Mulraney was annoying, could turn up for 20 mins in the odd game and look good. Just wasn’t consistent 

 

I’d imagine it was pace that attracted Atlanta who have Stephen glass as a coach. Hope he does well over there but not convinced

What parts shite ? Did she take too long to sack Levein ? Should Levein still be here ? If we acted months ago would we be bottom right now ? Did you expect more faces in by now ?

 

 

 

Did she take too long to sack Levein ? Yes, however Stendel wouldn't have been available earlier, plus a large part of what appealed to Stendel was Ann Budge's loyalty and trust

 

 Should Levein still be here ? Probably not but if it means that there are more resources (rather than paying CL off in a lump sum) for Stendel in this window then i'll get over CL doing a bit part in the background

 

Did you expect more faces in by now ? - Not really, every transfer window is the same and the majority of players move at the end of the window, plus we all knew that players need to leave before more come in

Mulraney certainly has potential . If someone can get him confident (focused) his pace and skill can be lethal .

Ended up an ok deal for us , certainly thought he was worth a try

I agree. Terribly inconsistent. Good deal for us imo.

Never seemed like he was convinced that he was good enough for Hearts, also not helped by having to constantly turn back for the ball

TBF to him, if he was playing on a massive pitch with plenty space and time to run and deliver a cross like they do over there, as opposed to Tynecastle's narrow one where you only have time on the ball if you're playing at CB, he might have done better overall. Expect him to do well over there, hope he does so I can be confident knowing the MLS's quiality is nowhere near as good as they think it is
