    I don't think there's bipolar responses at all? People have said for ages that we've spent badly (when we've spent), that recruitment is poor and that, currently, Donald looks incapable of getting us out of league one. As soon as the window shut and we looked arguably weaker than we finished last season it became a worry that he'd gambled on getting us up last season and was now struggling.

    The amount that our income drops next year as the parachute payments end is terrifying.

    Exactly which is why it's imperative promotion is achieved this season. I can only see promotion getting further and further away from us.

    It's going to need a very clever January and we need to still be in the mix. We can't spend much so it will need very clever recruitment and the evidence so far is not great in that area

    The last 18 month recruitment wouldn't give people hope for this january

    We were very unlucky today not to get at least a draw...had Mcgeadys effort early on had gone in, I have no doubt we would have pissed this game...

    I still think PP got his selection wrong today, Watmore should have been on the bench with Mcgeady and started McNulty and possibly Kimpioka. Isn't hindsight wonderful...

    McNulty is our best striker by a mile and should be starting every game.

    I do think it's odd how this investment is being framed by the club now though. The comments by Charlie about not spending money don't mesh with ambitious US investors who want to see us progressing on the pitch, do they?

    I've got a nagging doubt at the back of my mind that he could have just said it was still on and everyone would be happy. The fact he's trying to play it down to our fans in talk-ins now isn't exactly reassuring.

    Also, very much past the point of listening to rumours on here and elsewhere. When it happens, it'll need evaluating based on the detail, not what someone texted someone.

    Sorry I'll put it in language you would prefer:

    My mate texted me the following:

    FFP to sort of invest, very small loan that might be capitalised one day, focus on academy and not buying players up front, nothing will change in the short term. Stewart Donald to remain in charge.

    Sound good to you?
