from where does the problem stem?

[AgentDaleCooper]

...and how can we fix it?

EDIT: forgot to add a ;) to option 8...



i personally think it's the board that are the root of the problem - they've allowed us to list into a false sense of grandeur without ensuring that the team on the park was being bolstered enough to make progress. i honestly think the club needs a radically different approach from an executive level - a board that ONLY wants results. hell, i'd take some mad russian millionaire if it meant escaping this purgatory.

I'd take it more seriously if Waddell hadn't written articles in the past praising Petrie and the Hibs business model.

to be fair, most of us have probably praised his business model at some point - it's not without its merits. it just seems like now is really not the time for prioritising our monetary policy.

The board, £1.6 million for O'Connor, Derek Riordan £150,000, £2 million for Thomson, Sproule £500,000,Whitikerr £2 million, Murphy £1.5 million, Shiels £50,000, Fletcher £4.2 million, Jones £600,000 roughly, Stokes £1.2 million. Those players brought us £13.8 million in investment (only 2 cost us any money to buy). I agree that the training ground was neccessary but the new stand wasn't. Instead of improving the look of the stadia why did we not improve the quality of player on the pitch. We know John collins left cause he couldn't get the cash for players. The board is holding the money back when we really need it the most. Sack The Board.

100% correct. you reap what you sow. constantly selling the family silver and replacing it with cheap imitations.

Sack the board.

do you have a link?

I went for board through to the players because I think there is enough blame to go around. I don't think there necessarily has to be ONE scapegoat.

The board could release some more funds (assuming they haven't).
The manager has to accept some of the blame too even though he hasn't been here that long.
The players could perform better.

But overall the whole team has a problem.
