    If Hopkin is still here, he will be assembling a squad with league 2 in mind. Hopkin was relegated with a shambles of a club he took over at Livingston, before rebuilding them for the eventual 2 promotions that followed.
    I'm sure a similar scenario is already playing out in his mind already

    Not a chance in hell will we buy in the January window
    All thoughts by that time will be to build a team in the summer to get us out of L2
    This season has already been written off
    What a complete shambles

    I hear what you're saying but available players are likely to be wanting too much wages or some other issue that's left them without a contract.

    Scepticism says we'd be adding more dross and a bigger wage bill.

    Jan might not come soon enough,problem is we would have to off load and who would want our under performers?

    I believe that these players, because they don't have a club as yet, would quite happily play for City on a short term deal in an effort to get themselves noticed again OCM. We need them for their experience NOW, to help get us out of this mess.

    January is too late. We've got 2 months to get through first and barring a miracle we'll be bottom of the table and well adrift of those above.

    Might as well face it now, we're fecked, we're down, and it's time to just let hopkin plan for league 2

    What MAKES you think THEY aren't TRYING to do THAT already? Hopkin has already said that's what he was looking at doing.

    Who are these really useful free agents that you speak of?

    Shows how desperate we are for an answer. Although Jim OB hasn't embarrassed himself.

    Didn't Hopkin quite adamantly state he wanted some experience and some "proper men"?

    It will.

    The scale and cost will be too much to bear. More likelihood of the club being sold than money being put in to repair this.

    Rahic called his appointment of Collins his most important decision at the time Nick.

    What makes you think he knows how to make good decisions of any size?

    Why the surprise we are still rubbish? All Edin has done is swap one non football league manager for another,
