Remember him ? Left us and went to Everton as Chief Executive before moving onto Aston Villa I see he has been suspended as C.E by them. Villa are in dire financial straits, but seem to be going to lengths to state the two issues are not connected.

European nights under the lights. Seagulls Shite overpriced catering Matchday programmes with other fixtures on them and the half time score board with the scores going up I could go on and on........but mostly the great memories.

Welcome aboard Chris Has scored against us before

Absolute nonsense..... 50% more than they got for Docherty from Newco Actually that above should read 50% more than Newco are paying up in instalments to Hamilton Fuck them, fuck their plastic pitch and fuck their gazebo.

Andrew Shinnie joins Luton on a two year deal

Heckingbottom sacked by Leeds after 16 games in charge.

Absolutely gutted. RIP Neale James Cooper.

WTF.... hoped this wasn't true as no official reporting of incident. Unfortunately it appears to have happened. One of my favourites back in the day. Wishing "Tattie" and his family a' the best and a speedy recovery. Source E.E. Dons legend Neale Cooper was today in a critical condition after being found seriously injured in Aberdeen. Police are investigating after the Gothenburg Great was found collapsed in the communal stairwell of flats in the Ferguson Court area of Bucksburn at around 1.45am yesterday. Police are investigating the cause of the retired footballer’s injuries, however, they are not believed to be suspicious.

Always thought he would end up with us. Rumoured to have been lined up as McInnes's replacement if he'd taken the Sevco gig. First season promotion required or punted I reckon.

Read it a number of years ago. Extremely thought provoking with strong characters All round a mighty fine and enjoyable read. Somewhat surprisingly the only Philip Roth book I have actually read. Need to rectify that.

Could it be that Ross is just far too intelligent to take on that basket case of a club. Rae, however on the other hand

Fucking hell, just checked and it isn't a joke

That's surely a joke. Hell mend them if true :laughing:

Does anyone still watch Homeland ? Just finished season seven and thought it was the best one for some time. Started watching "The Looming Tower" on Prime and shaping up very nicely after three episodes

Rob McLean licking Celtic arses big time in the studio.

Game over then.

Fuck. Some strike though

Aberdeen have offered to make Dylan McGeouch their highest-paid player - should he agree a move to Pittodrie. Blackburn and QPR are also interested in the 25-year-old out of contract Hibernian midfielder. (Daily Express, print edition)

Ooops, senior moment from me there TC. Admin powers abused and removed my post

In fairness Rocket, we actually had a trophy double. Not only the finishing second trophy, but also the winners trophy for finishing top of the top six post split mini league

Quick Google search throws up the following and begs the question what kind of contract (if at all) did Hamilton actually offer Ferguson ? https://spfl.co.uk/docs/067_324__therulesofthespfl_1375800603.pdf Relevant pages would appear to be 43-46 and this clause looks fairly fundamental to it all In the event of the two Clubs concerned not reaching agreement on the amount of any Compensation payable, the new Club must, on the date of Registration or, if later, on the date of any first offer of Compensation, pay to the Player's former Club at least 50% of the highest amount offered or, as the case may be, offered, plus VAT at the standard rate. All offers of Compensation shall be in writing and shall be copied to the Secretary by recorded delivery post when they are sent to the Player’s former Club. In the event that the amount of Compensation ordered to be paid by a Compensation Tribunal is less than the amount previously paid in terms of this Rule F9 or if no Compensation is ordered to be so paid then the Club which has received such payment shall be liable to forthwith repay as a debt the amount overpaid or, where no payment is so ordered to be paid, the amount paid, to the Club which made such payment. So that makes it all totally crystal clear then

Surely there must be some form of agreed formula for calculating compensation due when a club signs another's on freedom of contract within the same country. Anyone know ?

Can't in all honesty see it being anything like that figure either. It does however raise the question of how legally binding the pre-contract would be

See we've grown a pair of balls at last. Appeal lodged against Logan's red card. Fucking right as well, if only so they are forced to review the actions of Lustig, Boyatta and The Thumb. A grand well spent, regardless of outcome.
