Pretty decent blog that, seems pretty impartial and not 99.9% wall-to-wall OF coverage.

Did anyone click the links to his other pages? There is one called 2013/14 worst signing. James Collins gets a mention and he says Hibs deny he cost £200 000 and he was a final "eff you in a terrible legacy" from fenlon.

Cannot highlight but Collins has never said anything bout how much he cost so he can't deny something he's not said.
Shake ma head!!

How anyone can say that nelson has been a decent signing is beyond me. The guy is brutal.

I don't think the blogger watches Hibs much. I presume he has named Nelson as a success because he plays most weeks. If there's any other reason then I wouldn't want him identifying players for us. I don't really see how either Heffernan or Watmore can be listed as a success either as neither has played sufficiently due to injury.
Although most on here would probably disagree I still believe Liam Craig's signature will prove to have been a good move. I know that his form has dropped markedly since Christmas but I think he has quality and will show it next season.
For me - that qualifies Liam Craig as the only "success" out of all the players brought in for 2013/14.
It's quite an interesting comparative exercise though because, for me, it highlights they key difference between us and our competitors - that our manager last summer was not able to identify and attract the required quality to ER. The reason Terry Butcher's job is such a difficult one is that this has been allowed to continue for several years. This is what makes it irrelevant that we have an amazing training centre or that our wage bill is higher than other clubs.If we can't spot a player - we're gubbed.
The good news though is that we have talent coming through the ranks that is, IMO, better than most other clubs. If TB can just get a few signings right to bolster this ..............Last edited by GreenOnions; 17-04-2014 at 09:42 PM.

Craig could have been considered a success based on how he played under Fenlon, but his form under Butcher has been poor at best. I'd like to think that next season we'll see the player we thought we'd signed but I'm not convinced he's a good fit for Butcher's system.
Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Michael Nelson was very good for the first half of the season. Doesn't deserve half of the criticism he receives on here.

Just look at recent events.

I think our % should be zero to be fair. No player has improved us.
Watmore looks promising but has hardly played a game (don't think he has been part of a winning side yet)
Nelson = hoooooof! But is an average SPL defender at best

It's possible the £200k figure was leaked by someone at Swindon.
I doubt we paid that.

Your really going to trust the press over the man who actually sanctioned the deal?

If he's playing most weeks next season, we've signed the wrong players in the summer.
On the blog, it's over-generous to us. Not one signing could be classed as a success in general. I'm confident the likes of Craig and Collins will eventually be important players though.Last edited by Beefster; 18-04-2014 at 12:02 PM.

I asked RP directly how much we paid and he indicated a figure at an LWT meeting. Don't know if I should divulge it though as it may have been in confidence. Ask him yourself I remember it well as Rod smiled during the conversation.
