    If the manger's been told prior to the window that we won't be signing anyone regardless, then its unlikely he's then going to say to the press he wants to being someone in.
    Regarding wanting him to be honest & say we can't sign anyone because we're skint, he's maybe been told not to broadcast our financial plight in such a way?

    Fair enough mate. But surely our financial plight isn’t any worse than some of the other clubs who have just strengthened. Surely we are not any more skint than these clubs. Especially with a 1.6mill loan just round the corner? But that’s another argument.

    We've been paying Premiership wages while living on Championship scraps for a good few years so I'd imagine we'll be tightening the belt accordingly.

    This loan is probably paying off debts.......but I'll pop next door and see if they can confirm this.

    We had less in the kitty than Arbroath which does not augur well for the immediate,mid and long term future of the club.

    We recorded £3.7M loss and had a wages to turnover ratio of 133% in our attempts at getting out the Championship. We're in a far worse state than every club around us I'd say.

    I agree, this is most likely.

    Rumour elsewhere that Shankland is the false positive.
