Today's P&J reports that Dods has turned down a new contract. Is he on his way this week to DU? If not, I doubt if Charlie will play him against the Dons.

White shorts would really bring out the blue and red stripes in the shirt.

Ouch - really should check the spelling - this is getting so heavy that I'm not sure what I meant. :clapping04:

In case there is any further missunderstanding, I did not post this topic as a call for Charlie's head after one defeat. My point related to him making his intentions public so soon after the game without giving himself time to reflect. Don't forget, he has only been in the job for 6 months and with more experience, he would have kept his intentions under his hat. It is my honest opinion that he will be a successful ICT manager. I still think it will be a test to see how he reshapes the team and who knows, maybe we will all be surprised. I accept I was out of order with my comments to Exiled ICT and I do apologize to him/her but I object to someone twisting my words to change the intention of the thread and make quotes such as "... give up watching football ......." and then finish with "I've seen some stupid posts in my time, but thats up there wi the best o them" I trust the intention of my post is now clearer to Exiled ICT.

I understood that we were leasing the stands from one of David Sutherland's companies. Please correct me if I am off track here.

Where in my post did I say Charlie was under pressure. You seem to have a problem reading English so pull your head from up your erse and read it you jerk! I have no problem with Charlie and certainly don't have any attitude. :008:

Sorry for being so thick but how has the club benefited from the money going to the trust?

Back 4 of Tokes, Caff, Granty and Richard for me.

Let's not forget that this was the first game of the season and yes it was a dismal result and certainly doesn't do our home popularity any good. However, the most important aspect of this will be how Charlie deals with this setback. Personally, I think his post match comments showed his inexperience and he will learn to take a deep breath as time goes on. I know it must hurt but he and Parky must analise the game from video before making any rash decisions. He has a big squad, bigger than Aberdeen going by the P&J on Saturday, but it is important he takes advice from his staff before making any rash decisions. This is the biggest test yet for Charlie, he has only had plaudits so far, but once the dust settles, I'm sure he will deal with it in a very positive manner. Let's hope he takes it out on the Dons

What would Charlie do if a young lad was makibg his debut and played as badly?

Interesting - I understood the tulloch money was going to the club and not the trust.

Anyone got any pub contacts in Madrid? :017:

I think we should all wait and see what the balance sheet shows. Great to see the company in profit and I hope this trend continues. However, football is a very speculative business and we need a solid base of retained profits because our only assets are the players. Mr Sutherland departs on a high note leaving the new chairman a very big target but I'm sure he has the qualities to get our turnover up and improve the profit margins.

Jim Love was an absolute gentleman and he will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Procs is fish so if we are getting anything for him we should be thankful and cash him in. :011:

What a coincidence IHE - I wonder why :004:

Source ? Confidential - but probably the same as all the others who think they have reliable sources. :015:

A deal will be done sooner rather than later. OUT: Dods & Proctor IN: Robson

This is getting so boring, even more so when chairmen waste their time issuing statements as we have seen. If DU want the three players and offer reasonable money and they want to "better" themselves, then let's put the cash in the bank and put this issue to bed. Personally, I don't see Dods having such a dominant season this year which means he will be worth very little, if anything, when his contract expires. Black will spend a lot of time in the stand suspended this season and Proctor will never be a regular. Take the Grocers money and make it available to CC!

Yer man is DESPERATE for Dods :011:

He has gone!

Our income is obviously increasing with PL football but at the same time it takes shrewd management of the expenses in order to be able to pay more to the players. As a matter of interest, where did you find out the info on the other PL teams?

Aye and poor Jim O probably had to buy them himself :015:

No

I reckon we have 11 midfield players already in the first team squad. Bit overweight don't you think?
