The only reason we have turned in profits in the last couple of years has been due to compensation received from our managers leaving to go elsewhere e.g. Brewster. It's not a case of if we get some cash from a transfer then we should look to spend it. The club will need that revenue to cover any operating losses incurred throughout the season. If anything, instead of paying transfer fees for players I'd like to see any spare cash (if there is some) used to increase our wage budget. In the days of Bosman transfers the fee is often not so much of a stumbling block it's more the agreement of a wage between player and club. As for off field developments I can't see a 4th stand being on the agenda until we can fill our current ones for Non OF and Aberdeen games. However, perhaps they could use any additional revenue to boost advertising of all things ICT in the town?

Yes it's exciting but there is no point in the club bringing in folk just to keep the fans happy. I think the squad we have will be fine. Yes we need cover up front but we do have midfielders who can play further up who can tide us over until Dargo and Wyness return.

Scary thing is that Hearts fans still think this is good for them. Seem their best players and bring in folk in on loan from Kanus (11 players now at least!). Hearts are going backwards under Romanov IMO.

Bit harsh on CC here. A few folk were saying that McSwegan will be a valuable signing for us - now would be a good time to prove the doubters (like me) wrong.

Interesting. The County fans reaction to this transfer is quite funny. Some say now that Cowie isn't really that good anyway.

He has already left Dundee according to some. http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/output/2...y9245137t0.shtm

Wow.

Predictable. Could Black be penning the Hibs deal now?

Inside man? :015: :015: :015: Try the Partick Thistle website which had the story some time ago -> http://ptfc.co.uk/pressbox/news.asp?id=907 You must be gutted that Robson is signing a 4 year deal at Partick?

Heaps of rumours like this going about at the minute...

The stewards job is to ensure crowd safety correct? Seems they will happily wade in to confiscate that 'deadly' can of Irn Bru a little kid brings in but with Celtic fans appearing the Home end gesturing to the Home fans and winding them up they seem to be somewhat hesitant to do anything. Why is this? I have no complaints about Stewards enforcing the "Sit Down" policy at games but when the club has clearly stated it will not tolerate Away fans in the Home sections of the stadium why do the stewards not carry out their responsibility to ensure "crowd safety"? As Caley D says it's the consistency issue here.

Yeah I think it was on here a while ago. He was meant to be going to Peterhead but that fell through at the last minute for whatever reason and he headed for Almondvale instead.

Amazing how many County fans suddenly think he isn't that good all of a sudden! :015:

I'll be there. I think we will win 16-13.

Oh dear God! :015:

This could start a chain of events...

Kick a training ball out for the subs?

120k is a pretty steep amount to ask for. Falkirk paid ~ 60k for Gow from Airdrie so I would guesstimate that 35 - 40k could be agreed for Conway.

What on earth? :017: That's the exact problem though. If they don't take action they don't nip it in the bud and thus folk think they can get away with it. They very fact that the police and stewards tolerated Celtic fans in the same end as the Home fans shouting "Get it f'cking up ya!" was pathetic. Next week they'll be back to picking on a kid who has a can of juice in the stand.

Excellent photo on CaleyJags.com (IMG_3248) showing Jarosik kicking out at Black.

Of course you shouldn't have to pay any more than you should do but then you should also pay what is a fair price for the lad to compensate Ayr for his development. 20k is an insult. Thank goodness no one from United does that eh? :006:

Yup in terms of shot stopping and athleticism he is an excellent keeper but his kicking is suspect. This is where Fraser could surpass him.

My opinion is that the stewards and police are only to happy to wade into the Home fans but are piss scared of the Old Filth fans and thus don't do anything.

No one is blaming Mark for moving for the money side of things. It's the fact that he has most likely brought any chance of playing for Scotland to a halt by moving to play second fiddle to Boruc.
