Is Zapata still on trial? A number of good players were freed on deadline day so I'm hoping we may land someone out with the transfer window.

I remember the courier stating a similar article saying Paul Hartley had the ICT job...A few hours later it went to Yogi. Hoping this is true regarding Mixu though. If so then the board need to do the right thing and tie Yogi down to a new deal. **Scratch the above. Just been confirmed by Sky. Paatelainen is off to United

Don't tell me Yogi is taking her to Dundee United too?? In all seriousness. Best of luck L_G. Been a massive help over the years. Club shop will never be the same.

In many respects Yogi has maxed what he was capable of achieving with us in such a short space of time. He inherited a fantastic team that was very capable but he was the one who got the best out of them. He was never going to better last season. What would have been intriguing was whether or not this current crop would have progressed under his reign as it was the first time he'd had to recruit so extensively. Despite a rocky start there have been massive signs of improvement and a lot of promise shown, especially from some of the new boys. Would be a pity to see him go as things were beginning to turn things around. I dont like pointing fingers but I feel the board have to shoulder some blame if he does go. The summer was always going to be a bit of a rebuild and on the back of what Yogi achieved the board should have taken care of him first and given him a new contract. Build stability again from the top. If I were Yogi I'd have been a bit scunnered that my long term future was not a top priority on the back of European qualification and our first major trophy. United see in him the success he achieved here and its no surprise they want him. The challenge there will be a massive one. Its poorest United team I've seen in years. If Yogi wants to go then he cant be stopped. Get the best compensation and start gaffer shopping. I'll be forever grateful to him for giving us such an amazing 2 years as a club. In terms of who we should get to replace him I'd like us to go for Stuart McCall if its affordable. He favors shopping down south which suits our budget and squad and he's spoken highly of us in the past. He had a terrific run at Motherwell, may not have ended great but still achieved plenty and built a formidable team. Doubt the board would give the job to Richie but would like to see him get a coaching job. Maybe as McCalls assistant or something.

Hibs have bid for him too...

We don't need anymore wingers. Breaming with enough quality there already

I know it's a division below but Hibs have Cummings, Keatings and Malonga on their books and Farid El Alagui is still there too. Would it be worth trying to get him on loan maybe? Very capable player.

Hooman was carrying a long standing injury and as a result of that he was let go. He was given time to see if there wad improvement but unfortunately there wasn't.

Can we bug it?

Any word on who the trialist is?

Shock

I'm not surprised. Yogi was clearly a fan. Lopez did look very unfit but hopefully with some game time he will shape up nice. Wonder if any of the other trialists will share a similar outcome.

Be surprised if we don't offer Lopez a contract. Yogis been a fan of him for years.

Any of the trialists left backs?

Was Pavels Mihadjuks not a loan signing? Same with Bulvitis...will leave folks to decide who goes where
