Docherty update on Rocksport .

[Grimsdale]

Deary me.

There's no show without punch right enough.

 

[Grimsdale]

Signed a new contract - til June 2020 - 5 months ago.

Said pre iously that his agent should be getting his jotters if he didn't insist on a release clause.

Christ, that long.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

Christ, that long.

Maybe thought that he was doing the right thing by Accies, might come back to bite him on the arśe.

 

[Gallant13.VVV]

Finish nightshirt at 8, home for sleep and hopefully when I wake up he's a Ranger!

Chris Graham was and is a wonderful spokesman for our club and fans. I knew why the filth hated them: he was too smart for them, he was not scared of them and he showed them up for the inadequates they were. Amongst our own support, only the hard of thinking could dislike him. We’re just too big a fan base not to have some idiots unfortunately.

Don’t know the guy never met him but agree 100% and it was unacceptable and wrong that this board metaphorically threw him under the bus over old tweets that were in my view correct anyway. One of the many and increasing number of issues I have with our owners right now they need to get onside with the fans.

I respect Chris Graham also, however was it not his own choice to step down from the board?

 

[daven37]

I was taught to be cautious!

Beat it timmy

They are plenty of obsessed filth on here but Academical a Tim, eh naw I don't think so. One of the few on here who has earned respect from a large number of posters.

This place is fxxking mental.

That was my understanding as well. From memory Chris decided to step down rather than have Rangers associated with his retweet of the Prophet Mohammed cartoon. Given that C1872 has received a mandate to request a seat on the board, I could think of a lot worse than nominating Chris to represent C1872. Would be a GIRFUY to the Scottish press!

 

[_WATP_]

Chris Graham should be offered a position similar to the one he stepped down from previously.

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

‘And so say all of us!’

 

[chateaubleu]

I really despair reading this forum sometimes. Do some folk seriously feel that negotiation is an embarrassment? Really?

Catch a fucking grip of yourselves. So many on here seem determined to find something to moan about. Can guarantee if we'd offered 700k with a 25% sell in and Hamilton had accepted, the same torn faced bastards would be furiously crywanking over the fact we didn't try and negotiate 600k and 10%.

I'll be delighted if the deal goes through. If it doesn't, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Certainly won't be 'embarrassed'.

Know what, if you're embarrassed by our club, there's a shower of permanently offended ambulance chasers who I'm sure you'll fit in nicely with.

Same posters every time as well. If something doesn't go to plan, they're all over the thread about it.

 

[M@x]

I see another Docherty thread has went off in another direction!

 

[Swally Cinnamon]

How did we end up on Chris Graham?

 

[Nerf Herder]

You never quite know where a Greg Docherty thread will end up.

 

[remembertheepoch]

Agree 100. These are probably the same folk who car salesman love to fleece or tims

Couldn't have put it better mate.

 

[stefanovitch]

Do we think we will get this over the line today or still be waiting this time next week?

 

[Dougiethebear]

The burning question is, I think my sister is hot Couldn’t help myself lol

 

[Muay Bouk]

Keep the thread on track or this one will get chopped as well.

 

[ItsInTheNet]

Yes we do..

 

[Online Handle]

Hopefully see some movement on this today with Rangers meeting Hamilton's valuation for the player. I agree that the board are entitled to get the best deal for Rangers and two successive failed bids below that valuation has meant the price has stayed at £600k - but getting Docherty at that price is a steal and we should go ahead and meet it now our posturing is done.

If it's an issue with the sell on clause, anything between 10% and 20% doesn't seem totally unreasonable as Hamilton have invested a lot in the player for the last 12 years. Obviously I'd prefer closer to the 10% but I don't think Hamilton are unreasonable to seek slightly higher.

[Mitchell McCoist]

Yes I think today’s the day

Good to hear ID10, too late for tomorrow’s squad but in for Sunday you reckon?

 

[billyblue7425]

Yes I think today’s the day

I hope so, so I can concentrate on my work

 

[Barrymoped]

Yes I think today’s the day

Here’s hoping. The latest press reports seem to indicate the initial fee has been agreed and it’s just the finer details such as the sell on clause etc. No idea how accurate that is but if it is then you would think it’s just a matter of time.

 

[Recoba]

Yes I think today’s the day

This is my dance for when its announced, no matter where i am at the time

 

[What's the story]

Question. If we get him over the line today and he is fit and ready to go. Does he start Aberdeen game?

 

[Recoba]

I doubt it mate but you never know.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Question. If we get him over the line today and he is fit and ready to go. Does he start Aberdeen game?

I doubt it very much mate.

His head will be all over the place, plus Murty will have his team and tactics all worked out by now.

 

[Islandblue]

Question. If we get him over the line today and he is fit and ready to go. Does he start Aberdeen game?

Doubt he’ll start but probably on the bench

 

[sk1n1873]

I have a feeling today is the day.
Hopefully iron out the finer details soon, get Docherty over for medical in afternoon and paraded and interviews done on Gers tv for finishing work time (6pm)

 

[MrRFT123]

Question. If we get him over the line today and he is fit and ready to go. Does he start Aberdeen game?

I think he'd need to be registered before the deadline (which if I'm right is usually either 12pm or 3pm the day before the game) to make the squad. So, to even make the bench, the clock is ticking!

 

[Forza_Napoli]

Say he does sign today does anyone know the rules for registering a player in time for a game is there a time limit on these things?

 

[sregnar]

Question. If we get him over the line today and he is fit and ready to go. Does he start Aberdeen game?

Bench at best but can't even see that happening.

 

[StaunchGer54]

Silver tuna tonight

 

[daven37]

Agreed about getting Chris back on the board however I think it should be because it benefits us and Chris himself rather than any get it up you to the press.

The haters can fxxk off as far as I am concerned and we shouldn't be basing any decisions we make on how it affects the press or any other scum source out there.

 

[Recoba]

Silver tuna tonight

What is the silver tuna chat ? must have missed that

 

[Tagsbear]

Yes I think today’s the day

Docherty signing and the smellies dropping points tonight would make a miserable Tuesday magnificent.

 

[SuperGers07]

So it’s D-Day

#Docherty Day


Or do we Rumble on another week

 

[Dougiethebear]

Video or it didn’t happen

 

[Bates Baby]

Part of me will be sad to see the end of these Docherty threads when this deal finally gets over the line.

Anyone know what number we're on now? Must be about the 5th one.

This is no longer the Docherty thread, this is now the Chris Graham martyr thread, how dare you mention Docherty

Good stuff

Just imagine the reaction if we don’t get him.

Just wait until he has his first bad game. Will be 5 separate posts about how he's shite

 

[sheddensbear]

I posted last night re McArthur/McCarthy, they went to Wigan and got sold on for a combined profit of £16.2m of which Hamilton got a % of the profit.
I also know 100% they got money for the English cup final win as well as money for 1st competitive cap. Worth significant money to Hamilton. If Docherty comes to us, there will be money for League titles and CL qualification money as well.

 

[ICA_86]

Not worth thinking about.

The queens on here will be uncontrollable.

 

[Deek]

Every single transfer target we have these days is accompanied by thread after thread of hysterical pish.

I don't doubt it. Remember Everton had a clause Michael Balls contract where after a certain number of games they were due an additional £500k

Bench at best but can't even see that happening.

If he's signed in time (or indeed signed at all!!) then IMO he absolutely must go straight into the squad for tomorrow night - what a lift it will give us and him.
