It's the Claus in Yogi's contract I worry about.

What a difference a few days makes....

Seemed to change their minds today

2 Dec 2015 Andy MacAskill scored one of Turriff's goals tonight in their 9-0 drubbing of Fort William.

Ho ho.

It's important that the club maintains an elfy balance sheet.

According to the Inverness Courier KC has put a "very good" offer on the table for Drapes. There is nothing better than positive news. Well done KC!

Based on the players he has signed to date I have little confidence that he will spend it wisely. As for your comment on a restrictive budget it didn't seem to stop Butcher who ended up bringing in some very good players for us although there were plenty of duffers as well. The problem Hughes has is that he has yet to bring in a player who has really done well for us. Having more money available to him might help but it doesn't automatically equate to better players arriving at the club.

caleyboy is right in as much as attracting players, we can scarcely attract a decent crowd let alone high quality players. To buy cheap is often buying dear and I am not decrying the players he has brought in! His philosophy appears to be to be to buy people who are affordable if he believes they have the potential to fit in to the squad and his style of play. He is a coach to these guys, a mentor who goes out of his way to get the best out of them. It often is a long and somewhat painful process at times but look how he has already improved those he has brought in. Look how he had to remould the Butcher squad to get the best out of them he succeeded and I am sure he will again..just give him time. I am delighted he is staying with us and now that the injury list is shortening and that contract renewals are in the forefront all we need as i bit more good fortune on the field of play and we will start climbing that league table and clawing our way to retaining our trophy.

Right enough Dougal, that period included a comprehensive 3-0 win over Kilmarnock and a lucrative and unforgettable trip to Parkhead. Who knows how far the Jags could have gone if we hadn't 'deteriorated' so badly.....Credit though for attempting to turn the most unlikely of topics into tedious merger threads...Just what the site needs, we haven't had one for weeks....

Happy with this news regarding Yogi signing on for another couple of seasons and hopefully we as a club can kick on with the stability from this. Like Kingsmills, I do hope that he is given a bit more flexibility in the transfer front to sign decent players like Miles Storey, so that we avoid panic signing players like Lopez and Mutombo.

Welcome news. Hopefully the out-of-contract players will follow suit and we can have stability of the squad for next season !

It wasn't a back 5 v Celtic. Meekings was playing right back. I think I would 'rest' Devine, and play either Raven or Horner at RB. Might even put Tremarco at LB (or is injured, given he wasn't on the bench and we only had six subs?). That would allow Williams to play in midfield and add some width. Silva to partner Storey would be desirable too.

But has Raven lost his place ? It would not surprise me if we stick to the back 5 as per Cellic. I have alluded to the Tansey / Draper dilemma before. I still feel that they do not compliment each other. They are both more suited to playing deeper IMHO and can cancel each other out at times. Neither looks as effective when pushed forward. Pol worth and Vincent are in there now on merit. Storey up front but I am still not sure who partners. Hi Ho Silver gets the nod but I would not play that two and Mutumbo together at any time.
