Until the training ground is fully functional with the building etc, it’s not going to attract any players in the way they hope. For example, rovers have everything at starks park and looks a lot nicer at the moment. Obviously we know they are spending ££ but facilities also are better than us atm

Won't be able to train there as well when grass has to be put in.

Bumped into Kerr McInroy just now at Dumbarnie. He doesn’t have a club 

id take him 

Absolutely, seems a totally logical signing. Would be an upgrade on Allan (and Chalmers), the sort of signing we should be all over.

He is a local lad and a strong boy. Now that Strapp has gone to SJK and was presumably, our first choice to replaced Edwards, it could be that Ewan Otoo is deployed at left back, allowing Kerr to slot into midfield ?

Partick most likely to sign him? I wouldn't be too fussed - has had spells at Cove, Raith and Kelty and they chose/couldn't sign him ?

Reading Partick and Rovers fans views on him and he doesn't sound very good. Maybe that the pond we have to fish in with our budget though.

Reading McPakes comments in the Press getting a bit “same old, same old”  getting a bit bored with it. 

McPake isn'y happy with the board not backing him properly. Our owners are neglecting the first team squad again and have not learnt lessons from last season. It's easy saying we will play with youth but from what I have seen, they are quite a bit away from playing regular first team football. It will end in tears when we are battling relegation yet again and panic buying in the winter.

Can’t lay all the blame at Mcpake for not signing if he’s not getting the backing. Shocking if we are just praying for no injuries again. Going into tomorrow we haven’t even got a recognised LB fit and got 2 centre mids! **** poor planning from above yet again. How many slow summer Windows is that now in a row???

Long season ahead, even Cook is getting frustrated with the owners refusal to budge. The plan looks clear, scrape by with kids and try and sell them on for some money to line their pockets. McPake's interviews are showing clear frustration and in the end it will be him that pays the price. He may end up walking as soon as he gets a chance as he doesn't strike me as the type who would stay and be a yes man. The owners need to come out and tell us why they have no interest in competing in this league. I know a fair few who have not renewed their season tickets due to the lack of comms, lack of signings and the thought of another long, dross relegation battling season. 

How they can go from the feel good factor that McPake & McKay managed to create in a short period after Hughes/Grant and relegation to League 1, to what we have now is baffling. Club is going backwards.
