Was expecting some news this week, or did dm say a fortnight? Maybe the club saw the backlash on the main signing and rescinded it

His RedTV interview before / after (can't remember which) the last game of the season seemed far from confirming his exit

That's a superb result for them. Stuttgart are a funny team, they really should do better but often seem to be a yoyo club.

Urgh. I was hoping no news was good news. As a side, i'm looking forward to boo Mcdonald next season.

Pleased we made it but fuck, please don't do it this way around. What staggers me is folk moaning we've got there. Yes it's embarrassing, but no more than folk moaning for moaning sake. Our support seems to be the worst for it at the mo. Even seen some prefer to play the league Cup

Surprised. They've been very mediocre under him from what I've read and seen. Only brings the hun closer to them.

If that were to become true, would only add to my dislike of that club Go to arsenal or spurs, fraser. We want the money.

Well that's a step up from the nobodies they appointed the first time round. It's usually the other way around. KSS are a decent outfit, did spurs' training ground as well i believe. I'd imagine they'll get Buckingham's as the contractor then. FFS Milne, offered my practice's services years ago as I knew that lot were pap. Edit: having looked at KSS' site, looks like they've done a lot of corporate fit out, so that'll be what they're doing.

Guess a problem being that we haven't actually played football in nearly 2 years. Maybe that's putting players off? It's widely known among other fans that we are a horrific watch. I'm sure this doesn't get ignored by some players in Scotland. I'm with CtS, this is one of the most depressing threads i've read in a long time. If this is the calibre of player we're after, we'll do well to finish in the top 6 next season. Moving Gash on was a step in the right direction. Get some fucking imagination McIness. This is shite.

A fixture list to get all the fans excited

Passionate and on his day a great credit to the team and club. Hope we sign someone who gives him genuine competition as we know he's a player, just needs pushing. Pleased with this

To be honest, I'd probably still stick with Cosgrove. He's the only striker have who scores goals. Would be lunacy to his money from him for a left back. It's not an either or situation imo. We would still need both and i'd hope that the club knew this.

Definitely the best appointment they could have made, will be interesting to see how he fares with the blazers at the RFA.

Thing is though, DM doesn't exactly have a great track record with replacing strikers. Yes he's cumbersome, I mean look at his second ish touch for his goal on Sunday. Fuck me, lucky to get another chance at it, but the most important stats is goals scored. I don't think we can afford to have a sluggish start like we did this season with our strikers. Unless it's silly money and the replacement is guaranteed goals, better the devil you know. He's still incredibly young.

We'll never know what he was actually capable of for us, shame. He'll do well for them I think.

Good for Shinnie to be able to end his dons career with back to back wins. A shame that desire and quality wasn't necessarily there throughout the whole season. Killie deserve their 3rd place finish, played the better football for the most part. Interestingly enough, according to someone on twitter (need to check later) we're still 2 points better off than any other non DM side over the past 25 years. Although we do now need to hope that Hearts continue to be shite and lose to septic in the cup final. Big summer ahead. I hope DM freshens up his ideas or we're going to fall further behind the pack. Whilst we got to finals this season, we didn't compete in them at all. I can accept finishing third if we're at least challenging in the finals.

Catch 22. Loved the book, watched the first episode directed by George Clooney. Hilarious viewing, although the wife wasnt too keen. Also started the second series of deep state. Loved it the first time round and its not disappointing this time round either

Seriously!?!? How and why?

Rory McCardle had an excellent career at Bradford prior to that. Saw him play them against Millwall actually. Always struck me as a likeable guy Superb effort Scotfree!

Looks like the Arabs have nailed it

Anyone go to this? Seemed like a decent turnout

Keep it up mate

Bump If rumours are to be believed and Clarke is announced as Scotland manager next week, this could play into our hands. Regardless, we still need to win. But hopefully pre match pressers etc will be about Scotland and unsettle the club.

Can disagree with any of that tbh. Haven't had much to celebrate this season but they've provided some of the good times.

That maybe so, but it's a discussion point. Personally, I found a lot of it hard to believe. As Ayrshire_don says, a signing like Dom Ball isn't going to help us win a trophy nor entice fans. The whole club needs a freshening up. The fans are bored of the same old signings. The right words, but I doubt they'll be followed up by the right actions.
