Popular Post Toby Posted January 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2023 The board really have to take a lot of credit. I can’t help but admire how they quietly get on with things behind the scenes when rumours are flying around to the contrary. There were a lot of folk convinced Grimshaw was away whilst they kept their counsel, and if we’re all being brutally honest, we’d have been delighted with just the one contract extension, never mind three. After all the rumours about Ambrose being suspended and seeing how well the club handled that, I had a suspicion they would be working away to get things sorted without reacting to press and social media gossip. There will be times that we lose out on guys who are out of contract, but it won’t be for the lack of trying to get them tied down and doing it without spending money they don’t have. It was only two years ago we made no signings in January, then brought in Justin Johnson, Kaziah Sterling and Jamie Butler after the window closed as we were battling relegation. The turnaround in the club in that time is absolutely wild. 1 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helensburghton Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Hope I'm wrong, but it looks like the funding for these contract extensions, is because wee Strappy is away, and that money has been found for the "pot" .If so, I wish Lewis all the best, hopefully he can get a better gig than Dynamo Tiblisi, but at the end of the day its all about showing his talents in the champions league! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the dalrada money or the club are planning to use the money fron the celtic game.

I don’t think it’s strange in the slightest. The transfer window has just re-opened and there have been rumours circulating about our two full backs. Announcing the Grimshaw signing has been perfectly timed to allay any fears around him,and with a home game against a fairly local rival, who are also in the promotion race, falling on a bank holiday when a lot of folk who have moved away are back up the road, the announcement of Gillespie and Crawford’s extensions is a terrific move. They’ve played a blinder in a marketing sense. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I would love it if we announced an extension for Strapp… 1 "Any nation given the opportunity to regain its national sovereignty and which then rejects it is so far beneath contempt that it is hard to put words to it."

Popular Post TONofmemories Posted January 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2023 For once, we've used the Christmas period, before a game, to spread some good news. Three of the players we've been crying out for to extend contracts. Are we in a parallel universe?  This is fucking marvellous 4 TIME FOR CHANGE!
