Allows Ramsay and even Mackenzie more license to push forward, guess time will tell if Gallagher adapts to some form of ball playing Biggest flaw in your wishes there is the big useless fk you wish to be in between the other two mediocre (at best) ‘defenders’ Otherwise it sounds like a great plan Link to comment

Sign low, get our worth, punt at peak value. Cosgrove was shite, still is shite and will always be shite, never a football player in a million years. The bit of financial business he brought to the club was great (yes) but was more good fortune as opposed to good business as such, he is a fkn donkey who had a wee purple patch with a shitload of penalties and we offloaded him for decent cash well done to the club for that, now look where he is (almost down at the level he should be) but I still think Shrewsbury town is too good for him and it looks like the gaffer there also thinks the same as he hardly gets any game time at all. Saying things like cosgrove is a perfect example of what our model should be is utter bollox. IF!!!!!! the club chose to adopt the likes of that model we drop down the leagues rapidly, starting with championship next season and struggle to stay up in there. I shaks ma heed Link to comment

Can you imagine the state of our club if that was used as the benchmark for our club's business model, the very thought of every signing coming in and going forward from here to be of the same sort of standard as Sam fkn Cosgrove, it beggars belief that some folks can even think that way ffs.

This purple patch that lasted 18 months, we cashed in at a good time. How many players have we ran their contract down and made no profit? Whether or not you rate his ability, Cosgrove was ? a great example of our model. Sign young, develop, move on. 20k into 2m. 1 Link to comment

It might have been McInness model but I hope it's not ours going forward because you have to rely on the other teams scouting network being entirely incompetent to offer that money - Cosgrove was a donkey of a player at his best - his purple patch consisted of many penalties and sub standard European opposition - there were a couple of nice goals in the mix but the reality is we were outrageously lucky to get that sum for him - our business model should not be to rely on outrageous luck (despite what Napoleon said). 1 Link to comment

So should we be challenging all the EPL clubs for young talent? No, we deal in scraps and whatever Cosgroves failings we made about 10 times the money back. He played like 2 years and scored about 30 goals then got punted, whats not to like. 2 Link to comment

Fool Annie is maybe the real identity though and that would explain a lot why some of the exclusives are known by Annie/mainstandmoan/Ingolfson. We had a former employee who liked a hooker so I can only come to the conclusion someone ITK at the club is paying to tell Annie what is happening regarding transfers whilst getting sucked for Scotland.

You're missing the point a bit because you are focusing on the individual player rather than the business behind it. Buy a player cheap, develop him, sell him on for £2m ish profit while getting a meaningful contribution on the pitch during their time here is a great business model. In non covid times, that £2m could have picked up 2/3 quality players for a few seasons that would improve the team as a whole. (Queue joke about the money being wasted on American dross....) 4 Link to comment
