Russ Richardson

[Redtaz2]

I would love to say thanks for everything ,

but no he  has been responsible and complicit in the worst spell of recruitment i can remember 

bring on the new guy ( girl/ non binary) as I don’t want pulled by the woke brigade 

??

Pretty sure we could bring in Simon Cowel as our next talent scout & he could find us better players. Even if they didn’t have football on their CV’s

but sadly true

[1983]

Apart from the Cosgrove dosh, it’s been a pretty dire stream of players coming through the door. The number of players with little return must be frightening.

[paddy]

Who you reckon his worst recommendation (which we signed) was?

Would say someone like Zola, but perhaps a player we paid money for, so maybe Forrester?

[1983]

Nwakali?

Forrester for £200k would take some beating.

 

[maryhilldon]

Gleeson?  Maynard? It's a long list by fuck,  plenty candidates.

The difficulty with this question is there are too many horrific signings. Andy Driver, Greg Wylde, Jeff Monkana, Scott Brown (gk), Gleeson... fucking endless list

Forrester clearly had some mental health issues that fucked up his short time here. Yes it’s a horrendous waste of money but not sure it’s anything like the Tommy Wright transfer. That’s got to be one of the worst in the history of the club.

Only a loan but clearly never a professional footballer in a million years. Absolutely mental that people thought we had unearthed a gem at the start.

[fine-n-dandy]

Tansey got to be up there too. Even more so had Caley accepted the fee from us to take him 6 months prior.

Ojo & Main are stinkers as well. The list is fkn huge. Even more so if we include loanees.

Aye ok Millertime. Now we know it’s you for sure with your pretendy dislike of Nwakali ?

Go on, tell is how shite Zeroali was too

They will be down to McInnes, not Richardson.

The English based players will be more the work of Richardson.

Looked like someone who had won a competition to play a game of professional football.

His 45 minutes in the semi final against Motherwell was embarrassingly bad.

It was half the fee though. 

And who can forget that famous, last minute equaliser at St Mirren in the pishing rain. 

And besides Tommy Wright was Jimmy Calderwood & pre Russ Richardson

Worst spell of recruitment you can remember? 
 

Ferguson, bought for 100K or something, could go for 3-5 mill
 

Cosgrove- 80K- sold for £2,000,000. 

He's pulled a few stinkers out as well, but it's certainly not the worst I've seen, and I'm only 25.

 

Also; I'd like to nominate you last paragraph for the worst patter award. The most overused and shite joke going. 

 

@Redtaz2 and @Hoofball

 

Up your game

The excitement and general hyperbole from the stands was excruciating. People thinking because he was signed for Man City he must be brilliant and they were watching the next superstar of world football.

I meant in a general sense, Richardson has at least managed to get us some transfer money in compared to previous regimes.

[RUL]

It's a weird one as he's done some good work as someone said but a refusal to try other markets.

Cosgrove alone probably offsets most of the dross in terms of finances.

In terms of numbers, without any investigation, and just going on gut instinct, it’s probably about 1 in 3 success rate?  

[aberdeen1970]

Surely Russ Richardson had fuck all to do with the guys we brought in from elsewhere in the division?

The English based guys like Taylor, Gleeson, Cosgrove would have been from his work? 

[Sheepo]

Ash Taylor twice was a cracker

You're doing that thing again,  where you grossly exaggerate and make things up in a vain attempt to prove your point. Try debating like a grown up,  or if you're gonna talk pish at least inject some humour.

Think you’ve got that one in the bag.
