Dayman Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 1 minute ago, GinRummy said: So if I were to ask the question before the starts of this window - Where would you prefer Ann Budge to be at the beginning of the transfer window? - your answer would’ve been on holiday. You actually think that’s the best place for her to be at this point in a window that could go a long way to deciding if we stay up or not? I don’t care where she is. You may as well be asking where the cook for the nursery is. I honestly don’t know how you don’t understand this. With regards to transfers, Budge can do her job anywhere in the world. It’s either she has someone in Edinburgh who can sign on the dotted line for her, Stendel doesn’t need someone else’s approval, or she can approve a transfer over this thing called a “Telephone”. Google “Apple” and “Samsung”, if you haven’t heard of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully accept she can authorise things remotely but I don’t think it’s ideal. There’s absolutely no need to point out that telephones exist btw. if you think the physical absence of DS direct boss is no big deal then I couldn’t disagree more.

BackOfTheNet Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Odds on any transfer in this week? No rumblings today. Even if rumblings happen tomorrow it’ll be 2-3 days of negotiations etc and any decision may not be this week. Is the Kennedy rumour a real rumble? Any credence to it? Got a feeling it’s gonna be a long week transfer wise. (That’s a feeling before anyone tries to tell me I’m talking as if it’s fact) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes cos signing a couple of football players is the same as folks houses burning down and people dying. Jeez. Half of the folk on here want her to GTF and the other half are demanding she never goes anywhere. Why does she physically need to be present when her "employees" who, allegedly know a lot more about football than she does should be perfectly capable of conducting any business that needs to be done. If there is an issue with them then I understand the need for her to resolve same and agree that should be done in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 We're in a bad position and things need to be done but at the same time, she's a woman of advanced years who works pretty long hours and has a stressful job on her hands. It's probably a good idea for her to get a break away from it. There's a decent case for that being while we're not playing. It would not surprise me at all if family members insisted upon it. She's back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulus Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Couple of weeks to go but disappointed we haven’t managed to get any deals done so far. We need any new signing to hit the ground running and would have been better for them to have time in training with the squad whilst we don’t have games. Biggest transfer window for us in years and only a small amount of time left to get it right. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
