    Ange has DOF...recruiting players with the right mind sets to play here.

    Brendan as manager with no say in recruitment bar what positions he needs, and his remit is to improve the player and get results.

    That work?

    Huns reinvested the Igamane and Jefte money within 7 days yet we have people defending our board.

    I fully believe Nicholson is a puppet for Lawwell. Lawwell brought him into the club and promoted him twice prior to Lawwell ‘retiring’.

    Nicholson feels he owes him and will do whatever they ask. The board couldn’t control McKay as they didn’t have anything over him.

    Our friends across the city just go a get it done, 3 players identified and ((near) concluded in less than 5 days - spending significantly more than us too.

    Us?
    Well, same old micro haggling and procrastination.
    Unacceptable

    You can argue on the quality of the players they’re bringing.

    But they’ve sold a striker and a couple of left backs and they’ve already got 2 strikers in and a left sided centre half before we can tie up our top striker target

    So with a few days of the TW left we can witness our recruitment strategy in all it's glory......scrambling around trying to find something remotely suitable as the clock ticks down to zero. Dolberg, our supposed no1 striking target, is now being eyed for a move to the Bundesliga. Which, if true, will be the end of that because I guarantee that he'll rather suffer mid-table mediocrity in Germany than come to Scotland to compete for trophies. Tounekti, our intended new winger, won't be coming at any price this window apparently so that's another nail in the coffin. Meanwhile Idah is stuck where he's not wanted and we face being left with our worst squad since the covid season. Bravo to the board. The biggest and most dangerous asset sevco will ever have.

    Those across the city about to supposedly spend 8.5mill on a striker after signing one already, all in the space of a few days. Re-investing their money straight away. * is going on at Celtic

    The people that run the club are incompetent and have no desire to push the club to it's full potential.

    Bit of a gamble though given he's hardly played any mens football.

    Gamble or not they are actively trying to make themselves better and we are the opposite.

    It’s * embarrassing from our camp.

    Honestly think if we lose tomorrow there is going to be murder regarding the fans wanting blood.

    It shouldn’t get to this point either.

    Chris Sutton made a good point our team 12 months ago would have murdered this Zombie side coming tomorrow and really made a statement.

    We beat them tomorrow and we could massively put the biggest dent in the title race we’ve seen for years.

    But the board has failed to act and we can let them back in it if we lose.

    The way they are handling both Idah and Dolberg transfer just goes to show they don’t have a * clue what they are doing.

    We are a laughing stock of a club, being slagged off by teams regarding the way we do business while they asset strip for the bank balance and nice bonus and dividends pay outs.

    They have just signed 2 players have they not and put in another 8.5 million bid for another forward if you believe the reports.

    While we can’t even get some * in unless we monitor them for a year or be offered them as a loan like the winger and the left back that’s come in.

    How the next 55 hours play out.

    Idah and Yang stay

    We sign a freebie and EPL loan if we are lucky

    Welsh gets sold

    Kenny and Inamura leave loan

    Board says at least we tried and everyone just accepts it.
