Possibly true - not looked into it enough but I guess there may be some team that scrapes 2 draws and still gets into the last 32. Depends how the groups go i guess.

Well they will shit the bed vs Morocco and the lose to Brazil and then on the plane home. This is their world cup final.

Very much doubt he has walked out on us for a two year contract in League One.

Always always always has been a benefit. The contributions do not drive your payment, it's just a qualification to receive the benefit. It has never been a savings scheme.

What happens if over the summer he saves four children and a kitten from a burning building?

The idea that our new manager in July 2025 is announced as the former Barnsley assistant manager and everyone including the players are all fine with it, and off we fly into top 2.

I'm not saying he wasn’t injured when we signed him, we all know he was. You're making out we signed him on the cheap because he was injured which is not true. He wasn't cheap on any measure, especially as he had played half a season in the Championship in his entire career. The gamble we took was not "let's buy this injured guy cheap and maybe it'll work". It was "this guy won't be injured for long and when he's fit he will score the goals to get us promoted. And lets chuck ten million quid at it". He would have easily have been one of the biggest transfer outlays of that summer.

This is a rewriting of history. £10m from Sunderland offf the back of half a season in the Championship. Sunderland did not want to sell but couldn't turn us down and RS wanted the move. The idea that we snapped up a cheap bargain as a gamble because he was injured is bullshit. The manager wanted us to sign Ross Stewart because he was a good striker and we paid heavily for him.

Very much is welfare.

Why is Steve Grant on the BBC world cup panel?

For all we know Ross decided months ago that he wanted to go back to Scotland/join and old firm club etc if we didn't get promoted. Or he decided months ago that if we didn't offer 3 years he would go somewhere that would offer him that. And maybe SFC decided months ago that we were never going to offer him three years under any circumstances. We have no idea that the club "handled it badly" at all. Different parties wanting different things. Thanks for half a season in three years Ross.

Get Larin on for fucks sake

He can go back to coaching in his native language.

Number of seasons in his entire career where Ross Stewart has scored "20-25 goals" = one. League One. Number of seasons where he has scored more than 10 league goals in his entire career = two. One in League One as above and the other in Scottish League One in 2016-17. I think long periods not playing are more guaranteed than 20-25 goals.

This is a better result than giving in and giving him a three or four year contract.
