Shall we all chip in for an extra big banner for the final game of the season?
I'm going to offer the opposite view. Like I've said before I've watched all the games this season but have found it very hard to watch coming so soon after last seasons team and players, its been like torture.
Yes I agree about Gregorr Rioch he is vital to the clubs future with the youngsters but not Liam Richardson, he is to be commended for the loyalty he has shown but he is not the future under new owners. We need a clean sweep of the first team management set up and a completely new squad yes it will be a difficult job but its what needs doing in my opinion.
Cheers Piemon, for everything you have done!I think the banners did a job, thanks for the contributions.
I will pick them up this week and store them until we get a chance or place to display them
Interesting people keep talking about Gregor and the “youngsters” ! - it will be interesting to see how many academy graduates actually make the fist team next year ! - that to me will be the measure of Gregor’s success !
For me - my view is like back in Cooks day there will be no pathway from the academy to the first team - last years appearances weee due to being in admin rather than Gregors ability !
I hope the new owners recognise the value of the academy and along with LR and GR create a regime were there is a clear pathway for the academy players to reach first team status. Not only would that enable the club to become sustainable and live within its means but if young players can see that the club is prepared to give them the opportunity to progress then recruiting the best becomes easier.

I agree with this sentiment 100% but alas I recon LR will do the same as his buddy Cook did and just go for experience - last season he had no choice, this coming season he does. I’m afraid unless GR grows a pair and backs his youngsters there will be no pathway to the first team. I would love to be proved wrong this coming season, but let’s see !
Absolutely. There's no such thing as a two/three-year rebuilding plan, because at some point there will be a wobble and with potential relegation such a financial kick in the nuts, fans will whine and owners will panic.(snip)
