He played 8 times for us.

I thought that Markus Heikkinen (2003) was pretty decent (Zero was 1999). Peter Kjaer (2001) was also good and after Zero

Heikkenen was a very good signing. He was signed from Walsall I think.

Our manager is clutching at straws.

Aye - I’m nae having that.

Scotland - ok I can accept that’s cheaper to scout, but England & Wales?

Hotels are nae any mair expensive overseas than they are there. Does Russ borrow Mondo’s van to save on hotels when he scouts in England like?

Flights may be a bit different price wise - but nae £40k’s worth.

Fits the other “investments” then?

Add in the fact wages for English dross are ridiculous & certainly higher than many parts of Europe then I’m struggling with the economic argument.

May, Tansey, Forrester & Gleeson are the dictionary definition of false economy.

In other words “I smell shyte”...

The s’hite they expect us to believe.

Of course it’s not £40k but it’s doesn’t cost us £750k a year to run the training ground either yet the club try to tell us it is.

It’s obviously more expensive to fly abroad to scout players than it is to go to England and do the same thing ,that’s why we have hardly signed anyone from outside the UK.

It’s your classic penny pinching from the former chairman.

Yes,it was me that posted the link.

Why do you think we have only signed roughly 10 foreign players from abroad since 2003?

Has Russ Richardson been here since 2003?

We are lucky to have Russ Richardson according to Del.

Fair play for signing Cosgrove, none of us seen that one. But on the credit side from England; Forrester, Gleeson, Bryson.

I suppose the argument would be paying £20k to get potentially £4m offsets all of the sh1te signings.

We won’t get £4m for Cosgrove. Plus the wage thief’s mentioned above have probably cost AFC in excess of £1m in two years. Vyner, Hoban, Halford........
