Those two have been in and around the squad for a few seasons and should be ready to push on and make a bigger impact within the squad.

Guys like Mochrie, Graham, Neilson, K Smith, Meekison etc all very good players by the looks of it. If they are squad players then great, get them involved but if we are trying to force these guys into the first team it will end badly. Allow them time to develop.
100% agree with you. But nothing has been said that every one of these players needs to be playing next season and sold in the summer of 2022. While I'm sure the Ogren's are not in for the long haul (20+ years), I'm sure they are smart enough to not be in for the short term.

If they have covered our losses again this year, you are looking at a £6-7m investment. For them to get this money back, never mind make a profit, you are looking at a 5-10 year timeline.
