I'm seeing on other sites people say things are not that bad as we've moved on a lot of dead wood. Except we haven't we've loaned them out - they are still our dead wood.  Also on that basis if we were moving out all our dead wood, would we get 11 on the park?  Recruitment is a shambles - the domain of one man...

Seems Fotheringham is only back because we are only allowed to loan out 8 players.  Is there anything that this circus of clowns can get right?

why am i not surprised by this!

Does anyone have a list of free agents?

One or two unavailable already and the squad is down the bare bones.

The Fat Controller has lost his worldwide scouting list it appears - why else try* (and fail) to get a boy in his 30s who can't get a game for freefalling Aberdeen, a boy we have seen the best of already in Fuchs, and a Celtic reserve that there was clearly never a chance of getting?

Let's hope he hasn't eaten his out of contract list.  

*he didn't try.

We could have wasted thousands on rubbish, but what would be the point.

Quality over quantity.

WTF are you on about?  Are you trying to suggest that the 'recruitment' team have done a good job by not buying anyone?  Is there job not to find the quality and buy some of it.  Are you 5?

John Kavanagh not on that list but also represents the club on the side of recruitment. Not sure if he's freelance and not on the payroll as such, but i know for a fact it's often him who communicates with agents etc etc.

Keep him as far away as possible. Nothing but trouble everywhere he's been.

Also I see Pawlett is injured, yet again(hamstring) according to the tele. He is finished at this level, real value for that 2 year deal we gifted him.
