Snelders Snottters 89 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I think if Macdonald is played & Junior we'll win. But if Macdonald reaches a certain amount of games then it triggers another years deal, so the Club I.e cormack won't let that happen to the detriment of our chances of the top 6. Shyster. 1 Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Question. If we take relegation playoffs out of the argument - so just assume we beat County home and away if needs be are AFC and the whole review/process/manager thing better served coming 7th and coasting home relatively speaking or 6th and getting pummelled for two more months? Which one gives us the better chance come July Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Surely 6th would always be preferable. Slightly larger prize money....might pay for a player.....plus bigger home gates....would be sevco and Hearts in particular as opposed to 'Well or Livi EDIT.....but the chances of us doing so are already fairly remote Link to comment

Which one gives us the better chance come July How on earth are we going to finish 6th? We concede at least 2 goals every game, and at least one of them is absolutely gifted to the opposition. We're going to finish somewhere between 7th and 10th and the season is going to fizzle out. It already has pretty much. Ross County and Livi are a different level of rotten so we'll be safe as long as we don't lose our games against them and pick up another win at some point. There's absolutely no signs whatsoever that we can string together the results required to catch up and get top 6. 1 Link to comment

I cant be fucked and in absence of a scottish cup final assume i'll be ending 23 year run as season ticket holder.

davierobb Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Why would anyone buy a season ticket for next season ?. That's twice we have punted a manger at the end of a transfer window. This year compounded by appointing an interim manger. The Club are writing off half the season. Unless Cormack pulls a rabbit out of the hat with a proper manger , given time to build for next season then I for one am done as a season ticket holder. Link to comment

The Vinnie story I can believe that perhaps a payment to ADO can be triggered but MacDonald joined on a free 6 minutes ago; I don't believe there can be an onerous contract problem Link to comment

We are very bad at appointing remotely competent managers And by association, the only 2 good managers, supported which team? Ironic that, eh? 1 Link to comment

I take Tords point on money and crowds but in terms of trying to build a team ready for July does getting humped till May really help? Nah I get what you're saying - I think you want to finish as high up the table as possible - more money from crowds in top 6, more prize money at end of the season etc, and arguably more of a shop window for some of the players we're probably going to sell, so possibly chance to get slightly more money for the likes of Miovski and Duk if they happened to score against better opposition. So financially yeah I guess it makes a difference. In terms of building a team I really don't think it matters. This season is totally ruined, and I think there's going to be a huge turnover of players again in the summer, so don't think it matters in terms of confidence in the existing squad. Yes we'll likely be stuck with some of them but I reckon more than half of the current starting lineup might be gone, plus quite a few squad players. Off the top of my head, Roos, MacDonald, Gartenmann, Phillips, Barron, Hayes, Duk, Miovski, Morris, Richardson, Stewart, Besoujin - I reckon they will all be gone and wouldn't be surprised if some out of Duncan, Milne, Jensen, Doohan, Gueye, Clarkson, were also sold or loaned out next season. Only ones I think will definitely still be around are Devlin, MacKenzie, Rubezic, Shinnie, McGrath, Polvara, Sokler 2 Link to comment
