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?

Pray tell, in addition to Tony, is there no twa or 3 other fowk under his command in the Department of Recruitment.

CCX2 2010 · 02/2/2023 6:35 pm

Does anyone have a list of free agents?

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

No point even looking at lists mate, Fox has faith in the squad at his disposal. Into February and bottom of the league but he has faith in that shower of heartless fuckers so all is well.

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.

The "Head of" tag suggests further underlings or is that just more bullshit bingo too?

What qualifications does Ross Starke have for the football operations job. Was the assistant kitman for a few years while studying accounts at Uni. Hell of a promotion from kitman to that job.

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?

That would be the quality that currently have us propping up the division I assume?

Fucking idiot!

Danzaa · 04/2/2023 10:29 am

I had been long time lurker before joining and as long as I can remember AU has been a wind up merchant derailing pretty much every thread.

Who could forget his definition of quality, his posts for the last year or so especially, only make sense if it turns out he is actually a part of the recruitment team.

Re: January Window Rumours
I am pleased to announce we have signed the Finnish International goalkeeper Carljohan Eriksson. This guy is absolutely top class, significantly better than Carson and at least on a par with Siegrist.

This is a major coup for the club, this guy was starring against Wales for his country just a few weeks ago.

A brilliant transfer.

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.

The one's in bold should be sacked immediately.

Lafferty rumour has started

More disruptive than Watt I would imagine ..

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.

Finn Seemann · 06/2/2023 12:20 pm

Pawlett was finished years ago. I think he only managed over 30 games in a season twice. Good player who unfortunately saw his fitness issues determine his career. Renewing his contract was just further proof that our management team do not know how to run a football club. Agree a mutual parting and get him off the books...
