Out Of Contract

[Tord31]

So if the chat for this summer is he needs time to sort out the squad then fair play but if the chat is he needs time to get his own players in then its absolutely laughable

Horrendous recruitment in the summer killed us.

Not having a proper DOF (rpomoting Steven Gunn is poor as he's got no experience) and not having a proper head of recruitment in place meant we got lumbered with shite like Gurr and JET

Tbf, Gurr was forced upon us by the American hierarchy. Glass done himself no favours by coming out and backing him the way he did.

We're in a for endless shit show of these young Americans.

Becoming a regular occurance with his comments. Now saying the club had to sell Hedges because of his agent. Nae bother, grow a set of balls and tell them to fuck off like Hearts did to the Huns RE Souttar. Prick. 

[Alex Ferguson]

Leigh Griffith's officially free agent after leaving Dundee/Celtic. 

He's not had a good season and clearly isn't fit, and is a absolute mink but with experience playing with Hayes and Brown, and presumably some experience with Montgomery, there would be some chemistry there that perhaps isn't there at Dundee.  

Surely even for the last 15 minutes of games, he knows the way to the back of the net and even with Ojo doing the crosses he would be getting better service that at Dens.

Thoughts?

Only on a pay as you play with goals bonus.

Does ojo ever put a cross in more like he takes to many touches before turning back and giving it to ramsay or hayes. 
 

and I’d probably take Griffiths on a short term deal 

[Redmist1903]

Has Griffiths not got a big ban hanging over him for booting that smoke bomb thing back into the fans?

Not allowed

Contracts must pay a minimum basic wage, there's no such thing nowadays in the UK as purely  "pay as you play"

Can you think of a reason why a zero hours contract doesn't exist in football though?

You said nowhere in the UK though 

But I agree it's not a thing in football

Could we not sign him as a semi professional player and pay him a bonus on goals?

[Ten Caat]

We can sign him on anything we like as long as we pay him a basic wage no lower than national minimum wage

Whether or not he would accept is another matter altogether. My suspicion is he wouldnt

[Ke1t]

I'd take the weird shaped muppet in until the end of the season, see if he can get fit. 

Still, he's not a fucking midfielder, so why would we sign him?

[frankie_mac's_4]

Griffiths' career is in terminal decline - nothing but question marks over his fitness and professionalism over the last couple of seasons

[RED_JOHN]

Any other strikers available?

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Griffiths would be a fucking shite signing but that is still an improvement on what we currently have so bring him in

That’s fine if he’s still playing for free

[fine-n-dandy]

Relegation clauses could be part of any new contracts the way the club is headed. 
Are we on target for Top 100 club yet?

Maybe he meant Top 100 in British football & not Europe

Stopped that after first 12 months and it wasn’t  free it was deferred

Thought Hayes was getting a year, was that just paper talk?

He's signed a 1 year deal. He needs moved to the 2023 pile.
