The manager keeps saying we're working on signings and Scott Burns is being fed transfer rumours from within the club, so you can't blame supporters for being 'unrealistic' when our management themselves are saying we will be signing players.

Agree. Yes of Course we all want our club to survive. What Arab doesn’t. We played well last week but we have to remember we were playing a team that has now taken one point from a possible 15. I’m not saying we need to blow our budget in these uncertain times. I’m sure there will be loan deals to be had, and we can’t as supporters be blamed for questioning any failure to bring in one or two fresh faces when we are being drip fed the expectation that signings are just around the corner. I believe our owners have the right business acumen to not jeopardise what has already been built. But Scottish football as a whole is in a precarious position that will require government funding to survive in its current format.

Hopefully players loaned out is only till christmas time or in our powers to bring back whenever we want if no players do come in.

There will be players coming in, its been said so many times

Would be interested to see how loaning out players works, given they are going to clubs without testing.

and without money mate.One of them(Peterhead)have already said they maybe closed by Christmas.

Do we not test at least twice a week and players going out on loan to lower league clubs will still train with us most of the time so they would continue to be tested by us.🤔

Yes but assuming they go & train once a week with their loan club and then play the Saturday game. All with players who aren't being tested. There has to be a fairly big element of risk involved. Pre-match, half time and post match in the changing rooms with 18 other untested players plus a 90 minute game.
