Aye !!

If true, could affect when any potential new players could be signed up. Currently only 14/15 confirmed for next season, and most of those are young players. !

I don’t have any shares, but if I did I’m sure I would hand them back as they are effectively worthless anyway. Others who may have a sentimental attachment to their shares may feel differently. I am a bit confused with the second last paragraph in the BDO statement above. It states all conditions need to be in place before the 22nd of May. Other than the shares issue, I thought they were? Has something changed? Are there still a major shareholders holding out, making it essential that AS needs the small share holders numbers to ensure he gets full control? Also the last paragraph is a bit blunt, no please or thank you for handing shares back, just an expectation to comply. It seems it’s the only way to save the Club, so I hope AS gets enough good will from small share holders. Will be interesting to see what happens if he doesn’t get 100% in!?

I think our injuries will play a big part in our performance on Saturday. On one hand we may be without some regular starters, on another, a great opportunity for those who have been mainly on the bench to come on and make an impact. I hope every player is up for it and gives it everything .Same with the fans…….. Mon the Caley Jags !!!!

The only player under contract for next season is Adam Mackinnon. It has been reported in the press that a few players have indicated they want to stay, but likely dependant on what league we are in, which as yet is still not certain. I imagine there will be quite a turnover of players with only the locally settled and younger players looking to stay regardless of league, perhaps????

Drove down to this game today fairly optimistic we might get something, even with a depleted squad. Rubbish weather, rubbish performance, rubbish result. Right back in the relegation playoff fight. Now for a rubbish drive home .

You’re right………..also, doesn’t mean the rest want to stay. Most will be looking at what’s best for them as the end of the season approaches.

How many players from the current squad want to stay for next season?, and who do we think they are? Recent reporting says six have indicated they want to remain. If that is true and Kel and Billy think they are worth keeping, that would mean approximately another 18 players would have to be found !!!!!!

Just back home now and still can’t believe we didn’t get something out that game given the amount of shots on goal we had. I know we have a few key players injured, but we just didn’t seem to have another gear to go up, or a change in shape or tactics. Annan were out to frustrate and waste time from the minute they scored, we just didn’t handle that well. Makes next weeks game so much more crucial, but perhaps when we are up against it, is when we are at our best.

Well that was disappointing! Reality Check!

I would still be concerned that only six have indicated they want to remain already. Only making an assumption here, but let’s say those that are settled here,( Devine, Mkay, McLeod, Strachan, walker, Nixon etc) are those not looking to move, that wouldn’t be a surprise. The reality is we are still in a relegation playoff place ( hopefully that changes tomorrow), and the best case is we stay in league 1, worst case league 2 or bust !!!!! We have seen with Bray how early players and clubs do their business before the end of the season, likely the majority either have plans for elsewhere, or can see themselves being better than league 1.

Charle Christie and others have mentioned that the squad next season will be 22-23 players. With only 6 having indicated that they want to remain at the end of the season and no contracts being allowed to be extended under administration, that’s quite a number of new players to find. I suppose if we are out of administration before the last game of the leagues season in May, then maybe more players can be retained. Other than the 6 plus some academy graduates, most players will already be looking elsewhere for where they will be next season. With the current uncertainty of what league we will be playing in next season, potential investors and players may be put off by that and won’t commit early. Tough times ahead for the management team, even if we do come out of administration, which I’m hopeful we will in the not too distant future. A lot of squad turnover in the summer seems likely.

Gave up queuing at the kiosk after 15 minutes, still loads of folk in front of me. Why is this always a problem?! Happy with the win though.

The Captain is Devine, has been for a while now!

Chill oot Charlie !!!
