If we're being honest with ourselves, if ever there was a time to do that, it was January. We had enough points in the bag to make relegation unlikely given how far St. Johnstone were behind us. We needed to try & balance the books at some point, so I'm reckoning January was as good a time as any. We've done it and here we are, still top six. We have McNulty, Harkes, Sporle, Biamou & Hoti all out of contract in the summer. Most, if not all, will leave, so hopefully we can then start to build a squad that is capable of putting on performances as well as picking up points.
I think you and Craigbrew have decent points but in your post above you start by saying Clark and McNulty. Shocking recruitment there because he should never have been brought back after a return of 4 in 30.

That wage could have been better used.

Clark is at best an impact sub, not a 12th minute impact sub.

That team last night had Butcher Harkes Clark and McNulty in it. I rest my case.

I've said it many times I think our recruitment has been suspect for quite a while now.
