Wow, Dave King and the rest of the board deserve tremendous credit for the feelings generated over the past couple of days amongst us fans. Alves and Jack signed, Pena looks nailed on to join for a pretty significant fee and surely more to follow. It's a stark contrast from 6 months ago when our only business was the loan signings of Toral and Hyndman but. Clearly the board didn't trust Warburton and did a great job refusing to give him any more money to waste, as frustrating as it was at the time, here and now it looks like they've got it spot on. Pedro looks to have a significant budget which I'm sure wouldn't have been available if we spent in January. Positive times ahead, looking forward to seeing our team take shape over the coming weeks.

Absolutely agree. The Board have wanted to put in investment but were hamstrung by the AGM vote which meant that they couldn't increase their shareholdings or introduce new investors without Ashley being given the opportunity to buy more shares. Once Ashley is out of the way, the soft loans will be converted to shares and as a club, we will be debt free. We will also have a significant increase in our earnings from the Retail side of things.

We are signing quality players and funds are obviously being made available. Well done to the Board.

Next season our team will be much stronger, Celtic will be at the same level and Aberdeen will be significantly weaker. I can't wait for next season.

Can't agree more j1985. We are a work in progress but on an upwards trajectory as per the 5 year plan set out by the board.

There is a good feeling just now but we won't get it all our own way - a cup win and 2nd within 12 points would be a good realistic target for the coming season (although it would be nice to win the league but unrealistic)

Disappointing that none of the many naysayers have appeared on here to share some positive thoughts - as usual they are waiting on the sidelines for our first few bad performances so they can jump straight back in and say "told you so"

Sad
