No Excuses Hibs Board - WE NEED INVESTMENT IN TEAM NOW/Spend

**~~Sumner~~** · 21-01-2012 04:00 PM

... Just over a week to SPEND !!!

.. SPEND

***Col2*** · 21-01-2012 04:02 PM

10 days to go and we have signed a striker with a good record in Ireland and a 20 year old defender (untried) on loan from Norwich.

Other clubs are buying players and those clubs are not in a serious relegation battle.

Sick absolutely sick of the penny pinching approach when we are DESPERATE for players and as a minimum a new defence that just can't defend.

We ARE going down unless they do something and not just last minute no hopers. No wonder PF can't believe what's happening. Are the board going to do anything to support the manager with some experience and some quality?

Desperate desperate times.

**IWasThere2016** · 21-01-2012 04:06 PM

Simple

We don't have the cash .. But we better find it or its ER with 5,000 Hibbies next season.

**~~Littlest Hobo~~** · 21-01-2012 04:07 PM

Reasons we haven't signed anyone is because we don't pay decent wages. Rod, you and the Hibs board have lost my money and all of the guys I used to go to the game with money. Most of the Hibs fans I know, either don't go anymore or pick and choose what games they go to. Some of those blokes were what you call solid Hibs fans.......their lost to Easter Road on a saturday now simply because most feel let down by the standard of player we have on the park...end of rant!

Sad but very mate.

Petrie you're a disgrace !!!!

***lucky*** · 21-01-2012 04:10 PM

Over reaction, yes we need players but only 1 club had bought a player so far. I'm sure Fenlon will get it right

Maybe so, but no other club has as crap a defence as ours

***lucky*** · 21-01-2012 04:12 PM

We would have more money if more went to ER

Exactly. What other teams do is of no interest to me whatsoever. We're a laughing stock these days.

When good players become available we will sign them

**N.Wales Hibby** · 21-01-2012 04:18 PM

I watched the game today and for the first time I felt like crying. I always try to be optimistic but I am deeply concerned for our club. We now sit 7 points behind ICT and 1 point above Dunfermline. .

What do you want him to spend???

***Mikey*** · 21-01-2012 04:23 PM

I said this a few weeks ago. I really think that the board need to get an interest free loan from STF and do something about giving funds to PF so that he can shore up that team.

It may take £1m+, and it may take a few years for STF to see it all back, but the current policy aint working and hasn't been for some time.

i dont think we will have to wait till next season for that, unless TWO half-decent quality defenders(and someone to replace sproule/galbraith) are purchased, i've saw a few posters on this forum stating that us hibs fans get the team we deserve....well, we dont f****n deserve this p@sh

buy who though? who wants to sell us a good experienced commanding centre half, when they've got the rest of the season still to come?

i know we need players, but i really cant thiink of anyone we could actually get.

So was it the board who signed these players and keeps one on the bench and plays the other one "out of position", or was it the manager.

No, but 1 man does.

And it would only take a little loose change out his back pocket to turn things around.

Why would the club take a loan from the owner?

He should be investing anyway. £1,000,000 is nothing at all to STF.

That's when fans will come back, it's really simple. I don't think we can be classed as glory hunters but come on to ****, we want to see a little entertainment after a hard weeks graft.
Some of those players are a disgrace, some of the stories I've heard for example about Garry O'Conner beggers belief. I just hope hope for his sake that most of it is just mere gossip but when you hear radio commentators suggest he was sitting the stands afew weeks back saying this and saying that, you really have to wonder if the players hearts in it.

I don't.

The guy is a multi billionaire.

If you had £10 on you and you stuck 1p into a charity box, would you miss it?

This is STF Business, he owns Hibernian FC and he should be investing. I don't care what anybody else says on the matter.

I absolutely agree with this. We need to get a solid spine of a team together that we can build around. Spending a million now will be small compared to our losses should we get relegated. If the club think getting players in now is hard because of our league position then it they will get a shock at how hard it will be if we get relegated.

Get real man. There are literally tens of thousands of pro footballers out there, and I guarentee that a large percentage who contribute more that the present incumbents.

The trick is knowing where to find them and having the capital to do so.

My feelings also

**Beefster** · 21-01-2012 04:38 PM

Anyone calling for investment in the squad, over and above the usual budget-meeting investment, is living in cloud-cuckoo-land IMHO.

If we sign any more players, their costs will be met by the reduction in wages from players leaving.

He's wealthy but he's not even near being a billionaire, never mind a multi-billionaire.
