October 10, 20187 yr Robbo has extended his contract until 2021. This is a positive move and should give the squad stability and focus that he is committed to the club and getting us back into the premiership.

Hopefully a few more wins and a sustained challenge for the top spot(s) can attract some more bums on seats at TCS. Summer football Scandinavia style is the way ahead.
October 11, 20187 yr Hopefully it pays off. As long as we get a decent cup run (bear in mind, I'm not delusional saying we will win it) in the Scottish Cup, say 5th/Quarters at most, that'd get his new contract off to a great start.

A run in the cup would be a nice bonus. Automatic promotion would be great but, at the very least, a shot at promotion through the play offs is essential this season.
October 11, 20187 yr Nothing short of promotion in May will be acceptable, anything else is a fail. Surely most fans will not disagree!

October 13, 20187 yr Caman is right. Summer football will save the team and others. So what's stopping the Beaks from at least trying the changeover? Are they inflexible ? Are they stuck in the mud of their dotage.? Why? It benefits everyone. The players, the staff, and the crowds can relax and bring the weans . Otherwise where are the future ICT fans going to come from? Only IHE is immortal so if the weans are not introduced at an early date then what is going to keep them . ? They HAVE to get the bug. Over and out.

I'm not against it, but the obvious problem is that it puts us out of synch with club and national European and World competitions (except for Qatar 2022). Would also complicate things in the UK if Scotland and other home nations had different transfer windows. These are not insurmountable problems. But is there any demand for it in Scotland? Neither SP nor I are in the country...
October 13, 20187 yr I've heard that story before so there is no solution then unless we get everybody else on board. Which is unlikely to happen. I suppose?
October 19, 20187 yr As for commenting upon this topic yes, we do live out of Scotland, but maybe we are also seeing things from a more dispassionate (i.e more pragmatic) viewpoint. Otherwise it seems as if we in Scotland will always be kow-towing to the Europeans and living by their rules (which are frankly really archaic). By switching to Summer football all the advantages recognised by the U.S and Canadian teams will be adopted, the terracing will be fuller with more spectators going to matches, ice creams can be consumed by standing spectators which one would never do in the Winter ) and so on. And the experience of going to an event is much more pleasant. Weather is more predictable also, Etc.

Anybody know if there are any clauses in this contract?
January 5, 20197 yr Only the Santa Clause that gave him the contract when he's been making **** all progress. Going to be like Christmas when he walks with a sizeable pay off in the next few weeks.
