Probably, but this seems to be originating from Scott Burns and seemingly he's our mouthpiece.

I thought he’d lost that status since consi had left?

This seems as good a place to put this as any

Darren Mowbray has returned to the club on a permanent basis.

No quotes but the bbc saying killie are ready to listen to offers for Watson. Would be a really nice pick up. We can compare how we developed Ferguson vs the diminished roles of Barron, Lyall Cameron, and Luke McGowan, but certainly tough to compete with the Glasgow two, plus I think he’s a rangers fan??

For all the tedious shite we hear about JT "being backed", and big player budgets/spending a lot of money, we only had three signings on the pitch yesterday, and one of those is a loanee. The return has been exceptionally poor this summer, as expected. The sporting director and Mowbray only now joining has set us back a huge amount, and that has to be shouldered by Cormack. A total false economy spending a load of cash when you don't have the system in place.

I think I read Mowbray has been with us since April on a consultancy basis, would be interesting to know how much input he had to our summer signings. I think I also remember reading that the current Head of Recruitment is based in Portugal full time which doesn't seem to be ideal if the only time he spends with JT is on scheduled Teams calls.

If he’s based in Portugal, he’s either getting a helluva lot of avios or it does seem a bit impractical. I get he’s probably spending a lot of time online reviewing footage of players around Europe, so probably is a relatively flexible job, but would have thought it would be better to be in person.

He's got six months left on his contract. His agent will be ensuring that any interest, perceived or otherwise, will be broadcast as far and wide as possible. 

Lazio reported as tracking Watson with a view to making a move in January 

[TheDonbytheDee]

P&J reporting that Yengi likely to be away in January and apparently some interest in him.

Would be no real surprise with that one.

Hopefully Ambrose will be away too and get his career back on track. Can't be good being a footballer and not getting to play, regardless of what any of us think of them

Yengi allegedly on his way out in January.

Would have loved to know what whoever watched him was on when they decided to sign him.

Fuck knows Jute but this is the fate that should await them if we are having to pay off the useless lump.

Would love to know who's interested, and why.

He's not as shite as Calvin Zola. That's how I'd advertise him.

He actually just looks a bag of nerves, rather than a horrendous footballer.

Good to get him out the door though, and hopefully it'll be the first of many, as that needs to be a priority. Yengi, Ambrose, Besuijen, Clarkson, Palaversa, Nilsen all need to be moved on, with a view to loaning out Milanovic and one of Gyamfi or Molloy. If they can save money by sending Karlsson back, then they should too.

He’d probably be a decent battering ram in lower league Englandshire.

Was never going to turn out to be Ronaldo or even Tommy Wright but wonder how different it might have been if we’d had a proper summer recruitment window.

Didn’t have to throw him in from the start every week cos we’d no bugger else. He could have been dropped and eased in rather than become the focus because he was all there was. Treatment of him by many was OTT.

Summer window (including mysterious lack of warm up matches) really was a shit show. Hope to hell new regime is better.

The problem is we have a number of players like he go that need moved on. We have very few must keep players. The squad overhaul we just did needs an overhaul! Any money offered for yengi milanovic Ambrose Nilsen gyamfi palaversa , even Jensen, should be jumped at.

Not sure who else heard the craic on Radio Scotland about 10.50 last night when they started talking about the upcoming transfer window and what we would be needing to recruit then.

Tom English said he knew that we were looking at a box to box midfielder, a central defender and a striker.

Hardly things that any of us wouldn't have come up with, but he was suggesting we should be looking at Masawanhise from Motherwell.

Ever fearful of the last striker we got from them, what are folks thoughts on this one 

[Nordicus]

should be looking at the Motherwell manager
