I`ve always thought that, when you hear him on podcasts and similar shows, he comes across as someone who feels he should be managing at a much higher level than he has so far in his career. It sounds quite arrogant, especially given that he hasn`t really lived up to his own hype. He also comes across as very bitter about how his time at Livingston ended.


He went into a Livi team that was effectively down, and made them hard to beat, losing only 4 of his 11 games.

By the sounds of it he left Livi because they told him at the end of the season he would be given the job, then turned round and told him he had to apply for the position, along with all of his staff. Sounds like he left on his own terms after being sh@t on by the former manager.


Wasn`t all of his staff, all his staff were already there and the one he brought in actually stayed to the end of the season.

C'mon Ye Pars!

Been told we are not focusing on any players released in the championship and talks are ongoing for players in the Premiership..source is a good one and it could take a bit of time as they have other offers. IMO we only need more experienced players in the team maybe 3/4/5 as the team is geared to get promoted next season.

Sound good hoolie, not sure who’s being upped into the first team but we’ll need a few more than 5.

Assuming Ngwenya and mullan leave and with Hamilton, Todd and likely Bene away, we need at least 5 new players ready for regular championship football instead of potential championship players once bedded in.

The drop off was massive last season when we needed to use the squad and still had a massive reliance on Kane and Gilmour etc.

Will be interesting to see who comes in and what the mix is of ready to go players and younger l players who might need a season or 2 as it will give you a feel for whether we’re competing for the title or the playoffs again.

Do we know when pre-season training starts? Our first friendly is 2 weeks on Saturday. Given how much importance NL puts on p-st you would think he would want new signings in ASAP.

We can only hope for a late flurry of activity.

Meanwhile Jack Hamilton joins Queens Park

Given the window opens formally on Monday 15th - I would expect 5 or 6 next week. Scottish premier standard and a surprise or 2 from over the water somewhere

Think they head off to Bulgaria again in a week’s time, for a week? Back for the Saturday game, of course.

None of the moves mentioned so far concern me. Noone where I`m thinking `i wish we`d got him..`

The England based players contracts tend to run to June 30th, so if we`re fishing in that pool things might take a little longer.

Just noticed Callum Stead has gone to Cambridge - that`s a shame he`d have been ace for us....

They might usually finish 30th June but business gets done way before then , nothing to stop free agents and out of contact players to sort out new clubs and sign contacts from 1st July.

Equally nothing to stop them taking their time before making an important career decision.

If a player gets a contract he wants at a club he wants, he won`t hang around for other offers.

Well yes, but not every player is in that category. We might have made offers - but we might not be the club players want so they are biding their time and waiting to see if a club they do want comes.

It can be tricky to sell the benefits of Fife and the Scottish League to a Londoner who`s never been north of the border!

I admire your optimism. I will be pleasantly surprised if we see one or two..

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

"Given the window opens formally on Monday 15th - I would expect 5 or 6 next week"

if there are any signings/renewals announced next week it will be because preseason has started and the player is physically here like what happened last season. i hope there is some news but im not expecting "5 or 6".

"It can be tricky to sell the benefits of Fife and the Scottish League to a Londoner who`s never been north of the border!"

could stick that on players up here never mind a Londoner or players abroad, club better work some magic though or it will be "we aimed too high, they didnt come, sorry" again
