Potential new signings

[FTD1983]

True but the timing was perfect for her to go there, hibs were in the doldrums for years even in the top flight and relegation had been coming, that plus many big games v hearts and sevco in second tierand a whole new feel about the place added to the cup win meant they were transformed, she made a huge difference though as she did at Motherwell


Our situation happened different, very quick fall to relegation from being a model club, now we really can do with the feel good factor to come back, that's where MM missed a huge trick, the obvious thing is we need stability however we had the opportunity to change everything and appoint the correct man to revit a lise us at the end of the season, well he phucked that up big time inexplicably

Now we are left needing that same thing done but now with an even more downbeat fan base than at the end of last season, now one gsme into the league season with a dud as manager, more chance of our fans being found on the tay bridge with him incharge than a feel good factor returning, utter madness and such a waste to miss out on that opportunity at the end of the season

This model club stuff needs to stop.

We got where we were by living outwith our means, Eddie racking up millions of pounds worth of debt. We are now where we are precisely because we had to get out of that mess and in order to do so have essentially asset stripped the playing squad and infrastructure.

We basically did what the Fun did on a smaller scale, but were, unsurprisingly, far better at it and actually achieved some success in the process. We even actually managed to sign and produce assets who we moved on for a profit to prevent us sliding into administration which was the Funs whole business model.

I was extremely proud of the fact that our club managed to recover without shafting local businesses and Utd staff as some clubs are quite happy to do, however in light of recent financial reports, it certainly appears we are not out of those particular woods yet despite assurances otherwise over the years.

In a few years time, when we are back and established at the top of the Scottish game (well in the layer just below those OF *******s) we will probably look back and realise that had we done a "Fun" or "Hun" and gone into admin we probably would have recovered far quicker. It would have been far easier, but I am really proud that we as a club haven't resorted to that and have battled back the right way.
