Right at the moment, if we are recruiting at all it is surely encouraging.

Lazy scouting if he's coming back guys utter gash I'd do a better turn and I'm a middle aged man with sciatica and a dodgy knee!

They can do what they like. If this doesn't go through Hearts will go legal and with the precedent from Europe they will either likley hold up the season or run in the financial compensation that will come out of the tv money. Lets see Uncle Roy squirm as his wallet gets hit when he could avoid it all by pretty much agreeing to the least radical change of everything that has been proposed.

I think that if we do go up to the Premiership then there is no better season to be unready than next season ..... no-one is ready ! There will be a bigger pool of players available on free transfers than normal, many with a point to prove and our operation on the playing side will already be pared to the bone in terms of wages meaning we may have more wiggle room than some. I would be doing some lateral thinking about now, perhaps seeking out and forging new relationships with other clubs to see who we could get in on loan for the Premiership season if it happens and we are in it. Between who we have, who might be available on a free, and potentially a few quality loanees we could certainly look to finish in a decent spot next season. I wouldnt be planning any European travel for late 2021 just yet but a comfortable 7-12 finish if its 14 and we build from there .... just like we did before.

Absolutely agree. The Scottish game has long needed radical change but the panic induced by the current crisis is not the environment in which to discuss impliment any change which could affect the game for years, if not decades to come. We need to have a commission, with a majority of sporting, media and commercial experts from outside the usual Scottish football bubble with a view to looking at things more thoroughly and more objectively to report by this time next year.

It'll definitely be a breath of fresh air for us. More income because of Two Champions League and Two Europa Conference spots, packed out home games against Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen and C*unty. But I also think it won't be a straight up and back down season, because we're much better than the Accies, and this season, we've shown we can compete (and beat) mid table premiership sides. We can show we can fight, and hopefully, if we play our cards right, I think we can compete for mid table, or even Europa Conference within 5 or so years (assuming our coefficient stays as high as it is).
