It's been covered in previous posts. PL will simply state that we are a Club with great traditions and we have to have a frugal fiscal policy. Blah.......blah......effin blah. |

Strongly disagree. The board have just as big a responsibility to the current climate as they do the future. Also, it's extremely difficult to safeguard the future whilst such apathy exists in the present. |

There's absolutely no doubt that it's extremely difficult Declan. That's why "sack the board!" or "change the manager!" or "FFS splash the cash Lawell!" are no more than simplistic knee-jerk reactions that don't get us anywhere. |

Oh yeah, forgot about the Europa League special packages. No doubt it will appear on the website. "Special Europa League packages available, come and see the Bhoys getting pumped by inferior teams. Guaranteed total embarrassment from Europe's finest, who gives a total eff when you can buy your tickets and ensure we have loads of money while we do not give an eff, because you lot, being customers, will be so sucked in that it is not funny, but we will continue laughing while you proclaim "Faithful through and through. And we will keep on laughing because you are such a bunch of gullible bastards. Well, remember the days when we used to care about you.....................get over it, because we need to ensure that our books are balanced, irrespective of what happens on the pitch. The pitch?..................Football?.......................eff that idea. |

Good post. Factor in that £6m then is the equivalent to £8/9m today then your point becomes even more valid. Bottom raking is not going to cut it going forward. |

Spend £2.4m and you get a Gary Hooper; spend £1.5 and you get an Amido Balde. Likewise, spend £2.6m and you'll get a Van Dijk; loan Jason Denayer and it doesn't matter how effing good he is - he isnae your player, and you're making eff all out of him even if he does turn out to be a 'success'. |

I would agree with the facts and part of your analysis that you post, but I would argue that Ronny Deila is that change. I think the whole point is that, going forward, our emphasis has to be developing our own players, which means giving them game time and a coaching team who are willing to invest their time and energy into their long term development, not just the next few games or this season. That has to be a better long term strategy than continually signing players at the £2m mark, which you rightly say is no guarantee of success. But then what is? I'm not sure what some people are actually looking for here. I don't particularly like many areas of the club's operation, but in terms of signing players and building a successful team I'm not that sure what else we do, other than allow RD and his staff time.

But time is something he most certainly will not get if all the ones on here calling for boycotts, cancelling HCTS , cancelling DD for Season Tickets are anything to go by. Its laughable- we slag Aberdeen,Dundee UTd,Kilmarnock etc about being Glory hunters when we have a support who are exactly the same, want to pack it in as soon as things go pear shaped on the field..... either very young or have very short memories if they think this is bad... |

There's absolutely nothing "sudden" about how things have gone 'pear shaped'. The sheer inevitability of it, all the ignored warning signs, and the blind continuation of a policy that is clearly no longer working have resulted in many fans feeling they way they do. It certainly has nothing to do with "glory hunting". Had we have qualified on Wednesday, those same concerns, complaints and reservations would still have been there among the fans. But all it would have done would to have bought the board a bit more time before those feelings, inevitably, manifested themselves in a situation were fans are genuinely considering withdrawing financial support for the club until things change. The fans aren't stupid. You may describe it as "packing things in". Others will make the educated observation that the only language boards understand is financial hits. All the protests, boycotts and demonstrations in the world will have almost eff all impact if the same financial resources are flowing into the club. Once they flow reduce, or stop altogether, then the board have to sit up and take notice of the message being sent. Until that moment - it's business as usual, and the board have tacit approval from the fans to continue the present disastrous policy. Edited by Belgrano, 28 Aug 2014, 03:33 PM.

It's incredible to think that Lawwell, a man who has such influence over the footballing side of our 'business', his objectives are in no way football-related. He could potentially be relegated and as long as he sells off a few golden eggs, he'll make the profits necessary to trigger another bonus payment approaching £1m. I wonder if Delia is paid as much? Or if his objectives trigger a similar bonus for football success? |
