Something to think about for all those who defend Petrie
Here we have 2 clubs who, quite rightly, put proper financial management at the top of the agenda.
Edinburgh : population - 454,280.
Perth: population - 44,820 (meaning it is smaller than Kirkcaldy and about on par with Leith.)
2011 League Attendances
Hibs : overall 223,360 , average 11,755, finished 10th
St Johnstone : overall 72,982 , average 3,841, finished 8th
2012 Attendances
Hibs : overall 188,271 , average 9,909 , finished 11th , top scorer - O’Connor 16 goals
St Johnstone: overall 75,054 , average 4,169, finished 6th , top scorer - Sandaza 18 goals
We lost 35089 paying league customers last year, they gained 2072 (top 6)
Head to Head
They have won 6 of the last 10 league meetings (including a 5-1). There have been 3 draws and 1 Hibs win
Point from Hearts this season (pre split)
Hibs - 0
St Johnstone - 9
Last 2 Managers
St Johnstone : Owen Coyle, Derek McInnes
Hibs: John Hughes, Colin Claderwood
Wage structures, boardroom decisions, forward planning, ambition, vision, a comprehension of footballing matters, scouting structure, coaching staff, club culture? You tell me....
It is staggering to think that a club with such a small fan base can identify players/mangers, motivate players and compete at a higher level that Hibs do presently.
All I know is that had they been in that Cup final against us yesterday, they would have strolled it, and if they had been up against the ****bos, they would have at least made a right good game of it.
