Geez. Can’t edit, too many typos and Calvin Davidson!!

Just don’t see it with Robinson. It doesn’t add up. We’ve done much to mold ourselves into a bigger and more ambitious club in recent years, major business focus, investment, improved game day experience, bigger squad, player trading model, planning around playing in Europe, director of football etc. Dave is also, like myself, living in American sporting culture, and Robinson isn’t his type. We are a bigger and more professional club now, with bigger goals and ambitions. Robinson is a step backwards. He’s had a little success, and I could be wrong, but I don’t see a progressive coach there with modern methodology. Does he even have a style of play that matches what lutz and Dave want? Both have said an appealing brand of football is required. It would almost be like hiring Goodwin again. But with a little more experience. It makes no sense to hire Lutz with his more world game experience, then hire from Dow the road at st mirren. The Motherwell checks the boxes, this guy does not. Neither does mcglynn. i’d even argue it would be slightly more more realistic if st mirrwn were where Motherwell are, fighting at the top end of the league, getting praise for their style of play etc. but they are not. I know they won the league cup, but I jus don’t think signing a manager from the team 3rd bottom of the league matches our philosophy and ambition. We chose not to hire Calvin Davidson when he had domestic success, I expect Robinson to get the slightest of glances before we hire a more glamorous coach and vision aligned coach.

I think there’s absolutely nothing to Robinson or mcglynn. Is lazy and boring journalism, nothing to report so make shit up for attention.

I dont think Dave is doing a bad job, I don’t understand your strong dislike. I certainly understand your frustration with the current situation. Of course the club and Dave have made mistakes, that’s not abnormal in football, and has been acknowledged I think. football is an impossible business. Most clubs and managers fail. Most replace managers regularly, most don’t win anything. That’s the game. cormack has brought investment. A training ground. A director of football. Increasing playing funds. We’re signing players who played for ac Milan, man city, PSG, Liverpool, loaner from spurs, highly regarded youngsters, internationalists. I get many of these haven’t worked out but it’s much greater ambition than league 1 and 2, wycombe Stockport and the likes. I certainly think we can get better balance, and I think that has been acknowledged too. rangers and Celtic have been a mess this season, hearts have recently been a mess. We’ve signed managers, with the exception of glass, that while not always my choice, made sense. its always darkest before dawn, perhaps we’re close to the beginning of something special. We won a trophy last season, maybe luckily, maybe we repeat? Unlikely but I think we’ve got a man in charge who is fully invested, will spend, is ambitious, and wants success. That’s not easy.

2027 (into 2028) is a funky transitional year.

No, explaining why as you weren’t clear whether you were pondering is it a loan, why is it a loan, or it is a loan. I’m no expert on emojis! neither are playing right now, but both are valued at their clubs so getting them permanently would be tough. Looks like LAFC play their first game of the season in mid Feb. Both want to make the World Cup squad so I can understand their clubs supporting them for a few months. One is odd man out, porteous doesn’t miss a ton of time for LA given their season is spring to autumn with a World Cup gap.

He’s highly regarded and recently signed an improved deal. Think they have three legit central defenders and he’s currently third.

Morrison is highly regarded but the odd man out at QPR, LAFC are in preseason playing early rounds of CONCACAF in Champs league, he’s not been playing, not even on the bench, no clue why. With it being a world cup year both are realistic options.

So how would people feel if we signed Ryan Porteous on loan?? Read it in a couple of places, could be shite.

Morrison, 22, is interesting. Rangers and Celtic as a kid, Bayern Munich 2 for 3 years which included a loan at Wigan. a striker who can finish?? We have a few that are finished. I’ll get my coat….

I have been impressed with falkirk. The big however is that he has the type of players that play for him, and he’s been there since 2022. Would goodwin, glass, Robson, or Thelin have us playing like falkirk after 4 years of coaching and building a squad? if he was 40 and an up and coming manager who had the track record of falkirk, then absolutely. I suppose if it was a young guy like a Rhys McCabe for example (yes, no longer at airfare but he was a big deal a year or two ago), but would he be given time to rebuild us?

Thelin played inverted wingers at elfborg. Topi appears to be the inverted type who likes to cut in, prob due to him not being quick enough to blow but defenders like Morris. Milanovic too, and karlsson. Although I do recall watching highlights of milanovic on the left in Aussie, surprised we haven’t at least tried him on that side. Hard to move away from it when you don’t have more traditional wingers. As has been said before, flawed squad design.

I dont think it’s just the US, Lutz wasn’t here that long, I think it’s anywhere you have a director of football type roll. The British game in general is not forward thinking. lots of itchy feet. Expect activity this week, I suspect we didn’t want too much change before the cup game. Now that’s out the way think we may see a manager and a player or two. no clue if graham is any good, but we have been willing to pay for relatively foreign unknowns, would like us to push the boat out for a Scottish player. We’ve missed much more than hit with Scottish players of late, and it’s been highlighted recently that we need to be more Scottish.

Do they only do these tribunals once a decade??

Out of curiosity, have they even paid for Barron?
