The goalkeeper list alone is absolutely rank. Who the fuck has 11 different keepers play for them over six years?!

Gordon and McLaughlin aside (and probably Alexander), it's a totally disgusting list of garbage.

Fans don't have the time or resources, but it's what a Board should be asking and reviewing from an exec director in charge of football. Bet she never bothered. A point of detail she couldn't be bothered with. Like ordering seats. Or drinks licenses.

Is there a quick database that we can find out the players agency? That would be interesting

Goes back to our youth setup, doesn't it? Alexander and Gordon are stop gap 'keepers who won't give you more than 2/3 years to help through the best young prospect to take the gloves longer term. But Jack Hamilton was never going to make it, was he?

I think transfermarkt but tbh it's a question FOH should be asking at the shareholder meeting. Instead they drink tea and clap. My lazy guess is that it'd show a bias towards one or two agencies especially, despite over 100 players.

This looks unbelievably damning, and I totally believe it is, but it'd be interesting to see how we compare to other Scottish clubs over the same period to see exactly how bad. Recognise that even our resident stattos don't have that kind of time on their hands, mind, but it'd be interesting all the same.

The worrying thing is that I don't even think it compares favourably to the Romanov era. Crowe

If any of us were CEO, it'd be a standard request to the exec director of football. Common sense. Outgoings. Major agencies used. Agents used. Commercials, investment, successes, issues, budget, player turnover, contracts, etc etc etc

Have you ever thought about running for FOH, Cammo? We can do a GoFundMe and chip in if you fancy doing it?
