I agree with you we outplayed Hull in the first half but tactically we were poor in the second half.

Do you think Millwall, Preston and Hull to name but a few with no better players and consistently playing decent football are lucky?

As for Carlos he was great in the first season and could not take us any further in the second. Bit like Valencia. Don’t see piles of money thrown at Derek McInnes and Hearts who have financial peanuts compared to Rangers and Celtic. I could mention a number of managers who have no or little money but are doing a great job.
I dont really care what social media comments say. I watched it so I can form my own view. We should have been 2-0 up at half time and then it’s a different game.

It’s not always about money but it is about having good players. The likelihood of getting good players goes up when you have money to spend. Its not often that the lower spenders succeed against those that spend more.

McInnes only joined in the summer and the club bought some excellent players for cheap on the back of a stable side and hes had it easy with Rangers and Celtic being dreadful. Dont get me wrong he is a decent gaffer and club legend but his cv is checkered. Sometimes its just right place, right time.

Corberan was successful with us with no budget and reached the play off final with Huddersfield with no budget. It’s not easy to progress a side season on season when you cant get new and decent players.
