. If you drink a shot every time he says "you know" in the interview I guarantee you will be either dead or in the hospital getting your stomach pumped!! And that matters why exactly?

How much is it all costing ? Who is paying for all of this ? Mahoney, Rowe, AARONS, koroma, Russell nowhere near the first team. Didn’t MF say there was no money for January ? Yet we have signed 5 players ? A goalkeeper to come. A left back? I just don’t understand why are recruitment in the summer was so poor. It seems like we are panic buying to get us out of this relegation battle. Why not invest in a proven manager ? All speaks of chaos. Of course it's chaos, we're 2nd bottom in a season where relegation would be catastrophic for the future of the club. Pretty much every transfer window the club get slated for waiting for the outgoings to be sorted before the incomings. I'd say this window it's important the incomings are sorted first, which is why it may appear scattergun at the moment. Probably best to wait until the end of the window to assess it properly. The summer recruitment hasn't worked out obviously which is one of the main reasons we find ourselves where we are. I don't think anyone was unhappy with loan signings of Mbete, Tino and Kesler-Hayden. They all came with glowing references but haven't worked out for whatever reason. Nakayama, Turton, Pearson and now Nicholls getting long term injuries, a few of the players getting too big for their boots, and being 23rd of 24 is a good cause to panic buy isn't it? Not exactly going to cripple us financially - I don't think anyone signed in January is on a contract beyond June this year? Thanks for the reply. Agree hopefully players will leave. However, two years in the prem. a shit load of money. We are back with literally no plan. It’s all reactive. No identity. have the custodians of this football club been doing ? Cheap. Followed by cheap. Repeat.

So DATM. MF pushes for players, within a limited budget, who will make us more effective in the final third and all we get on here is people moaning about having too many wingers and what chaos it all is. The lad sounds a lot more positive in his interview than most of the posters on here. Let’s hope that continues (as I can’t see this board changing). Interesting few weeks coming up, one way or the other. We have some options up top now, thankfully.

It doesn't particularly matter,I just couldn't help noticing and found it mildly amusing/annoying,so if anybody is looking for a fun drinking game to get your friends pissed quickly then this one is the best! And if he can get as many goals or assists as the amount of times he says "you know"then that's probably gonna get us into the playoffs!!

Yes he will be able to charge up the pitch from our dead ball line to the halfway line in record time! If he runs anywhere near their goal and has a shot, we will be more attacking in open play than we are now. If he tries to take on an opponent and get past him, it will be right result. Knockhaert will have a shot from outside the box so I already like him. The above all hinges on forward thinking, playing footballers are ever far enough up the pitch for long enough. And therein lies the nub of it.🤔 On a serious note I really do hope things are on the up and our coach gets at the opposition more than we have been doing now we look to have more options in the last third. I guess in a month or so we will have more of a idea.

We all know the reasons there is no money from the Premier League years. Horrendous spending in the 2nd season on players with no resale value + huge wages on those said players + Dean wanting his £50m back. There is absolutely no need to bring it up every transfer window, it was 4 years ago and is so irrelevant now.

Signing mostly “journey men” players to try and keep us up. Definitely not irrelevant. As I said no plan.

Got a Ross County supporter in my close family - don't we all? - so I've asked the obvious questions. Will report back, once he's sobered up. It's pretty grim up in Dingwall.Will be tonight I’d imagine... it’s very beautiful in The West Island tonight but a complete white out it was driving the 20 miles to the 8.15pm ferry so goodness knows what it’s like a million miles further north - Very best wishes to our new loan signing tho ! 👍

My point is that the money from 2018/19 that was horrendously spent, is irrelevant in 2022/23. You've said there is no plan but also stated what the plan is. Signing old heads to try and keep us up. It's a short term plan but it's still a plan. Bromby/Fotheringham clearly don't want to risk the future of the club playing the likes of Bilokapic, Camara, Diarra, Simpson, Spencer, Russell, Jones etc. In 6 months, if we stay up, we will likely have a new owner, a new director of football and a new manager. These loan players will all have gone and we can then hopefully put more of a long term plan in place.

We’ve only had one inch Kenny but it’s still beautiful (apart from the road outta ma wee 24 houses estate which I had to crawl down in 1st gear) ! I guess Clachnacuddin v Banks o’ Dee and Lossiemouthtrrier’s big match v Brechin City will bite the fixture dust this weekend then... probably a bonus as Clach would lose anyway ! This new lad will think Huddersfield is like The Mediterranean in comparison to The Highlands !!!!

The good things about Loanee’s is that if they don’t work out then it’s not disastrous finiancially for the club as it might be if they were on a lengthy contract... Also if the club decides to sack Foddy (Hopefully he keeps us up and that would need to be a very careful decision then) but if they did and a new boss didn’t fancy any of his Loanee’s then again it wouldn’t be disastrous on the financial side for the club !

They’ve done just that and brought in mainly experienced Championship players on short term loans to help avoid relegation. You moan when we don’t sign players and then when they do, you still moan.

I guess in a month or so we will have more of a idea. In two weeks we will know who is leaving to free up the money for the loans. If nobody leaves or just one/two, then all the squad who are fit will be fully available for selection??? The rotation, resting or excuses for not even being in the squad may disappear???

Beautiful. If anyone watched that there Traitors over the Xmas break - there. (At least the castle is - suspect they may have used some artistic licence for the other shots)

We were relegated from the Premier League in 2019. There was no money in the summer of 2019. We are now in 2023. It's been done to absolute death. We all know the reasons there is no money from the Premier League years. Horrendous spending in the 2nd season on players with no resale value + huge wages on those said players + Dean wanting his £50m back. There is absolutely no need to bring it up every transfer window, it was 4 years ago and is so irrelevant now. It’s hardly irrelevant. We have no plan. It’s fucking chaos. It shouldn’t be. Signing mostly “journey men” players to try and keep us up. Definitely not irrelevant. As I said no plan. The point that was being made is it has been reeled out time and time again. Every signing according to posters like yourself we make is a 'journeyman' or a 'cheap option'. MF may be new to this role but he is trying, with the support of Dave Baldwin by the looks, to do something which numerous managers have failed to do and that is make us better in the final third. Last season was the first in years we had a positive goal difference at the end of the season, and that was a combination of Wardy having the season of his life, Sorba coming good and a bloody good defence. A perfect storm. It is time to stop rolling out the same old moans all the time. We have half a season to get ourselves out of the shite and a bit of positivity could go a long way.

I thought he came over quite well on his interview. I haven't been over to Dingwall for some years to watch Ross County so I haven't seen the lad. However The Staggies are a really tidy little club with a good philosophy and set up. When I came up here to work they were in the Highland league (like Inv. Caley and Inv. Thistle) so I reckon they must hold some sort of record for punching above their weight consistently (Dingwall: pop around 7,500) which says a great deal about them. If Joseph has made an impression there I think it speaks worlds for his character as well as his ability. if you're going away from home for the first time to play senior football, you can't go much further north! Good luck Joseph!

There story has been one of beauty indeed bhraoinbeg ! - As you say they were in The Highland League and not hugely successful over their history there in comparison to Clachnacuddin FC (I just had to get that in of course I did ! )... But my goodness how well have they done and they even won a major honour in winning The Scottish League Cup in 2015/16 and were runners up in our national Scottish FA cup as well... They have beaten Celtic and Rangers plenty times especially at home and dumped The Hoops outta the League Cup semi Final on their way to winning it - Ach well, there’s hope for Clachnacuddin yet I guess - but what a great story indeed are The Staggies and maybe just maybe with this Highland League connection Joseph might just be HTAFC’s next Duncan Shearer !!!
