    Feel a bit sorry for Partick to be honest.

    Agree. Was just speaking to a not so happy Jags fan. Wish my brother, an Arab director, had told me before news leaked out and I could have had a wee wedge on it.

    With their budget being tighter than a duck's bahookey and the compensation paid to Partick for McNamara and I assume Simon Donnelly they would have to sell first. Wonder if Makhel-Smith or Russell will be sold to fund a rebuild?

    I posted it on a thread last week. I was also told that he will be getting some beans, not a whole lot, but enough to bring the players with him from Firhill, that he would like to bring.

    Patrick fan mate of mine isn't convinced anyone would want Erskine. Can have some moments of brilliance but is neither a winger or a striker, doesn't work hard and has little pace. Either winning a game with a little moment or not in it or contributing to it at all.

    Don't see how Brighton selling Makhel-Smith (sp) would givbe UTD funds ;-)

    Mackay-Stevens might be a shout tho :-)

    I mentioned that and he thought the comparison might be a tad generous!

    Ted McMinn was the nearest in style he could think of.

    Not so sure it is a great move for McNamara, United are a team on the way down in my opinion.

    Thompson funds have run out by the looks of things and they'll probably have to sell good players to pay current costs and then replace with inferior players.

    I think it's too soon for him. He'd be better off honing his managerial skills at PT for a little longer.


    I agree as well on feeling a bit sorry for Partick. They were going through a good spell and it could now be all over.

    The one thing in his favour is that just about every other club is also doing this- Motherwell, Hearts, Killie, Aberdeen. This means the competition will drop and it is a chance to show his skills. He obviously is good at developing youngsters looking at the ones coming through at Partick.

    i'm disappointed in young mac, partick gave him his first break at managerial level ? and he can't even see out his first full season as a manger with them, he's young and plenty of time to move upwards, what price a little bit loyalty to the club that gave you that break young man
