    To be fair to the lad we haven't seen him play much, plus he had Wood in front of him in the pecking order, who doesn't really pick up injuries.

    Not mad on the ismail thing. That guy is NEVER going to be fit enough to play a full match let alone a run of matches. His contract is up in the summer, we should pay him up now and that way we save on his medical costs.

    Harsh but as @Fordy117@Fordy117 says, we aren't a charity.

    First game winning a semi-final and winnable League Cup final for him. Good luck to him.

    If he's any sense he knows at best he's a bench warmer going forward.

    Bloody hell! It just shows how bad the SPL is if the lad gets a game. Livvy are doing quite well too

    Sorry will reign in my enthusiasm and lets hope that we can GET SORTED OFF THE PITCH ASAP SO WE CAN STOP BEING THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE EFL. (Apparently)

    No, not it the Jan transfer window.

    The players we have binned off is correct. Just DHM to go for this Jan.

    Good luck to him, not bothered in the slightest hes gone but saying that its not his fault he never got a chance, yes he warmed the bench but he was always there to be called upon if needed, never moaned, just got on with it, we can and will do better and no doubt so will he, hope he finds a club he can be first choice at

    Disappointing player who arrived with a bit of fan-fare of us beating other clubs to sign him but showed nothing really.
    In this case I would have preferred if we’d sold him to Livingston on a free but with a sell on, only 25 and could come good at some point potentially. Rather than the straight release

    I’m not sure how anyone can say whether he was good, crap etc etc. Wood was always going to be first choice and Longridge through little fault of his own never got a chance.

    His manager is due to appear before an SFA hearing to decide whether he's " a fit and proper person to be a manager".
    His life from 2006 to 2021 is an incredible transformation. ( just Google David Martindale)

    Might aswell clear them all out. National league looks like going tits up so the threat of relegation may soon be irrelavant. Might aswell save all the money until summer

    Agreed but they'll still have had a decent pay out for agreeing to move.

    I assume they may well have got the best part of their basic salary. So if they move onto another club, they could in effect be getting a double salary. Plus the opportunity of getting a variety of bonuses, if they are in their new clubs team, which would not have applied if they were out of the City squad. So a lot of financial incentive.
