Council Juice

I'm a touch unsure on the issue to be honest. Most Spl teams attendances without Old Firm fans and their teams big name status are usually alot lower. The rest of the Spl have been relying on the 4 old firm games a season (barring maybe Hibs Hearts Aberdeen and possibly DUFC) to fill their stadium and their coffers. Albeit this keeps them afloat at times! Maybe the old firm dont see why they or their fans should incurr an extra cost any more for selling tickets for another venue. But the easy solution does seem for the teams to sell the tickets to the OF fans themselves if they dont want to give up 5% (which is a steep charge anyway)

Always preferred this site mainly for the forum.

Nah not rossco. This season maybe too early but i'd like to see Black get it. I've seen so often players with sometimes temperment problems mature far faster and improve their game vastly with the armband. And lead others by example. Although Rossco has been a heck of a servant to the club and that should never be discounted. I'd be happy for Munro to keep it. Up to Brew though...

I think this has become a mountain out of a molehill scenario. I dont believe Marius is out to get more than he agreed to. Somewhere there has been a misunderstanding and it would be far smarter for the club to send out a representative to iron out the situation around a table. To be honest, Marius has been a good servant to the club, even if it was just to get him to the Euros(or a good fishing destination), and if Dinamo can offer top flight and European football then fair play to the guy. He's more likely to get noticed playing in Romania by his National boss anyway. We got around ?400k and if we have to pay around ?70-100k to marius as part of his contract then so be it. We'll still be ?300k better off as the original ?270k Alan Savage invested wasnt our money anyway. But point is i just want the club to move on and concentrate on the new season and get some boardroom stability too.

Scotland on Sunday although has no place prediction seemingly ecpects us to be just behind in the top six race...again. Hamilton and Killie on comments seem the fav's for relegation. Every striker Killie get either is injured or another unknown entity. Allan Russell became probably their best known and even he is out for a bit. And he finished behind Barrowload in the goal charts. Got someone from parma on loan though i think. Hamilton are all babies. Hopefully Hansen will be right. The Sunday Mail is a joke in terms of journalism full stop. The writers always seem to be no more than well informed punters (in the sense they get info 1st) who attend a fair few games, but we've all been to games where there is a regular fan or two who clearly know hee haw when it comes to footie but shout and scream as if their managing the team. Its probably them

Yeah does it not have to be an upstanding member of the community sort of person and a member impartial to either side. Does a written contract with witness also not require them to be a non related impartial registered member of notary public? Does a written and signed agreement need any witness at all as long as both parties sign it?

Not going to get my hopes up on this. Think he might just be meaning coming into the role of captaincy as opposed to joining club.

Maybe they ask himnot to waive the percentage of transfer cash, but the ?100k signing on fee? And lets hope that if the club do have to pay this also they insist its at the signing of contract exchange rates as opposed to current ones eh? Surely the Euro was worth less a year ago!

Got this from the comment made by club statement as main article on this site. If Marius has set up the deal 1st before talking to the club about it while on personal business he's broken every transfer rule in the Fifa book by negotiationing while in contract. Dinamo are also guilty of tapping up as they from this statement have spoken to the player without agreeing a fee 1st. So if marius has agreed to waive his fee verbally, and he doesnt, we should report both to Fifa and Uefa for tapping up etc. And i fear its too late. Everyone who reads this site know the clubs a shambles. Just glad the press hasnt picked up yet. The club are slap bang in the middle of a Liverpool style boardroom struggle it would seem with players being used as pawns to meet certain peoples ends. Im not worried to lose Marius. He was not that great. Bags of ability but no great urgency in his play. Always played within himself. But i'd hate for other players to get stuck up in this. I'll admit i have no evidence for this as its not in the high profile status league of Liverpool.Its pure speculation but something doesnt seem right and we are not looking good out of it all.

:015:

well at least he's off and we have some money. Lets invest that in a right footed centre half who can header and pass with composure. Think Colin Hendry is still fit?

I could also have beaten you but decided as opposed to putting down three posts in a row i thought i'd journey around and leave it to chance. Wonder what would have happened had i said nought?! :023:

Morgan Spice v RiG - taking on a moderator... brave of foolish young one. Best hope to have chuck norris dvd collection by your side, or even better the Dougie Imrie collection Chuck is forced to watch. :001:

RiG you seem to blow every suggestion i make out the window yet i keep taling about players in talks with championship clubs. Any suggestions?

i think rory may have earned a start v burnley with his hat trick against helforge. If he does well again he may well start v the dons,opening day

What a big furore over a romanian eh? almost reached 400 posts. wonder who'll get it? :021: :024:

Dont tell me Savage and Sutherlandre at it too?! :010: :017:

Only problem i can see with him agreeing to do that is if he was in romania at the time of the offer he wouldnt be able to sign anything unless he faxed it through but do we own a fax machine?! :024: Says on the ever reliable BBC regional text that the deal has went through. My mate said yesterday Mainz were due 35% it said. I doubt that would be the case though. And besides i thought he was on freedom of contract or was it just a free transfer?

Well they do keep slagging of his tan... :015:

OUt of shape - thats blown that idea then eh :015: Its Blackpool he's at on trial. Bamba from Dunfermline!!? :024:

Yes the idea from your original post reedee - not good. :029: :018: We would be ejected from the SPL with nonsense like that. And that says alot! Why do non talented musicians feel the need to cover up their vocal ineptitude with electronics - just hire a singer no? Or better yet get a job your good at?

Just im clear on things the story seems to be. 1. ICT trying to flog Marius Niculae 2. Several clubs make bids but all are deemed unsatisfactory. Marius is told this as he has a verbal agreement in place that if the club get an acceptable offer he can talk to the said club and ICT wish to keep him informed. 3. After getting married, Marius asks for some leave to get some 'personal stuff' back home sorted. 4. German team begining with a K in 2nd tier make an acceptable bid of around ?500,000. Marius is allowed to talk to them and has written in contract to get 20% of fee (in this case ?100k). He rejects 5.a)Marius has self negotiated without agents assistance a 4 year contract with Dinamo Bucharest while he was in Romania on "Personal Business" b) Inverness accept a reduced fee of ?500k (?400k roughly) for Niculae. A condition of this however if we accept only ?400,000 he WILL have to waive his 20%. It appears the club wanted minimum of ?400k after Nic had got his share so we did him a favour by accepting a lower bid if he waived his fee. It was agreed verbally as he was in Romania at the time. The previous minimal bid the club would accept was ?500k so to get ?400k minimum after payments. 6. Inverness withhold registration until Niculae agrees to forfeit his 20% giving a Friday 3pm deadline. If NOT met then they will return funds to Dinamo and expect Niculae to return to Scotland to see out his contract or agree a deal at another club. IF Marius Niculae fails to turn up he will be considered AWOL and in breach of contract. In this case he will be hunted down and hung till he is dead dead DEAD. May the lord have mercy on his soul. Or reported to fifa. Again may the Lord have mercy on his soul. Have i got everything?

I know your our feeder club and all that :004: but we aren't gonna take all your players right away. :blah01: Either that or he is rubbish and you want rid. :015:

I keep touting Elvis but its not nessesarily him we need. Just someone in his mould. A leader with composure and perhaps a little heading ability wouldnt go amiss. I wouldnt say his legs are definitely gone, but he aint match fit. See he's on trial at Nott Forest though i think. Is there no one in the 1st Division. Surely Clyde, past masters of boring, have a decent defender on the cheap?

I heard Dougie has a collection of Chuck Norris Walker Texas Ranger DvDs. Wonder where he learnt that round house kick?!
