Atric Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 gretna have told their players they are free to leave the club if they so wish, because of all the financial trouble they are in, and the very real possability they will go bust. every team has a gem or two, so would it be worth a raid north of the border? i dont know much about scottish footy, but they surely have some players we would take a look at? If i remember correctly doesnt paul murray play up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliggi Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 secondly, murray is only 32. any one think he would be worth a punt? could be the creative flair we are missing in midfield? or ya rec he is too old now? didnt he have a bad knee injury? seems to have played a few this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spadam Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Gretna set a new record lowest attendance in the SPL ever 501. There will be setting the record for the lowest points tally in the SPL only 6 points so far and theres only 5 games remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelaticsfan Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 It will be worth a look, but there will still be the big money clubs who will always have top priority, we could get someone possibly though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetramfixer Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 didn't they have to find a certain amount of dosh by the end of today???? and did they???? don't remember murray relighting any fires when he came back here with carlisle(?) a couple of seasons ago!

thelaticsfan Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 he must have done something right to get from carlisle to a SPL club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) I'd sign Murray until the end of the season, wages won't be huge. Edited March 13, 2008 by Bring Back Pukka Pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelaticsfan Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 yup, we got that extra money from trotman (500k) you think we will see any of this on players, by my calculations it can afford us to get 3 new players on a 1 year contract all on 3k a week (X52 X3 = £468,000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Who from Gretna will be on 3k a week? The overall wage budget of the squad at Gretna isn't 3k a week!

DerekWilson_1968 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Why does anyone want Muzza back? He has been stricken with injuries since he left us and was a shadow of his former self when he returned with Carlisle. Added to that, most people see him through blue tinted specs and remember his closing months with us. Undoubtedly he was brilliant in that time, but in his last season he was very ordinary through most of it until it became 'putting yourself in the shop window' time. The lad was a decent footballer when the mood took him, but time to look forward now. He is nowhere near good enough for us anymore if we are to improve, stop living in the past. KtF, Derek.

Lags Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Who from Gretna will be on 3k a week? The overall wage budget of the squad at Gretna isn't 3k a week! (exaggeration) I think Gretna's wage bill is around the 30K a week mark currently. Thats since they pruned their sqaud massively.

Latics and England Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I don't quite get the fact that the administrators have announced that all contracts have been breached and the players are free to leave. The transfer window prevents them leaving anyway. All players who were under contract on 31 January are bound by the rules of the transfer window and so cannot sign for any other club. Obviously they can still go out on (emergency) loan but this was always the case and so I didn't see any point in the statement by the administrators.

slurms mckenzie Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Doesn't the transfer window only prevent players moving from club to club? If players are effectively free agents because the contracts have been broken, the transfer window wont effect this. However, from the end of March, the transfer deadline comes in, so no transfers at all will take place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively due to not being paid the club is in breach of contract which means said contract is nul and void. Hence the players no longer have a contract and non contracted players can move to a new club whenever they get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the players no longer have a contract and non contracted players can move to a new club whenever they get one. My understanding is that even non-contracted players are not free agents if they were contracted at the close of the transfer window. This is to prevent the manipulation of the transfer window system. I may be wrong (it certainly wouldn't be the first time). It will give us a discussion point for the trip down tomorrow.
