The budget IS unrealistic for SPL football - a fact you are unwilling to accept. As far as costing the club in excess of £500k I would ask you what the club has done with the near £1m he made in the past? You seem to knock his every move but considering his selection problems during the past season and his budget restraints I believe our support should be happy with 7th or 8th place. All things considered I would be happy with SPL survival every season.

Lets just wait and see what the outcome of all this is. I still say Foran is NOT the answer if JH does go.

Believe what you want but reality is completely different.

If the budget is cut yet again we can look forward to championship football the season after next.

Who the hell would want the job with a budget like ours? It's the people above him that need changing.

I'm sure JH would jump at the chance of getting away from all the crap he gets up here. I hear his relationship with the powers that be is now a bit strained so you never know, maybe they are trying to **** him off with their unrealistic budgets etc.

I think the whole episode relates to the money we are spending on the likes of Foran etc. Add up the BIG contracts (which the manager did not dish out) and deduct the total from the budget Cameron has given Yogi and you get a figure he has to offer the players out of contract and new players he wants to bring in. The answer to all that is probably pretty dire!

I've said it before and things still haven't changed - SPFL Team with NO long term foundation!

I just can't believe Yogi has let him go without having a BETTER replacement in the bag. If he has, he has gone way way down in my ratings. IMO a great player for this club and I hope he gets snapped up real quick.

I can understand where you are coming from but if we can't get another 1000 on our home gates to finance this then the board would need to attract major new investment. If this was possible why hasn't it happened before now?

I like it - "a team who have never won it at all......." -

Maybe stats show an improvement but the objective is to bring players up to first team standard and we certainly don't see much progress in this area.

I bet JH is feeling really wanted when he reads all this bull about Foran taking over as manager. The guy WAS a great player but great players don't automatically become decent managers.I don't know if he has any coaching badges but badges don't make a decent manager! He has NO experience so he would need to get some under his belt BEFORE he could even be considered to manage a team in the top division. FFS give Yogi a break and let him get on with the job this club is paying him to do. He has already led us to levels we could only dream about and we all know why he can't be expected to repeat this marvellous achievement.

Then maybe we should be following the SJ business model if that's the case.

If we end up being relegated then so be it. IMO this would mean part-time football in the second tier and then probably in the third tier. What would the point be in trying to get back to the top tier when we are not structured to establish ourselves without "money problems". A sad viewpoint I know but our "no debt" structure only puts pressure on the manager who gets it in the neck from some fans. How do we achieve our top level, full-time status? Over to you Mr Cameron - time to tell the fans how you intend to achieve this - alternatively how do the board see our future?

Can anyone tell me which club has a lower budget than us?

What a fantastic, realistic attitude from Jagster and CaleyHedgehog - wouldn't it be fantastic if everyone on this site accepted the current situation - I aplaud you both. One point I would like to make is regarding the Club financial situation. I really don't think any supporter should think or worry about this as it's the BOARD'S responsibility to ensure our manager has sufficient funding to compete at the highest level. If they can't do that then they need to attract people who can. Simple fact is- if we don't stay in the SPL we will soon be watching part time football.

I don't know if Yogi and Mariner have anything in common but I would totally agree with Mariner's opinion on giving young players a place on the bench if they haven't earned it. I would also totally agree with Yogi in that we have as many players on the bench that are fit to play and deserve to be there. If we are short because of not having a big enough squad then so be it. If a youngster doesn't show promise, doesn't work his socks off in training and dev games or has a questionable attitude he shouldn't get anywhere near the first team either in training or matches. At the end of the day Yogi, not the supporters is being paid to make that call.

A MASSIVE player for us for so long. I hope everything is OK behind the scenes and he gets the new contract he deserves.

I would agree with Mariner. After all, his footballing experience is massive,

I'll be very surprised if Polwarth doesn't sign a new contract

What bludy nonsence

Unfortunately uou need to be a magician to get the quality we would like for our limited budget

I am sure the significant factor will be money cos it is difficult for us to compete with Conference teams (or whatever it's called these days)

All on money we can't afford - simple
