It was no longer fit for purpose, and I know certain people will be along to disagree and that is fine, but that is my opinion. The opportunities had in my opinion to be taken and the stand and training ground built. Now we have them in place we have no need for expenditure (apart from running costs) for these areas. That any football team, never mind Hibs, had to drive around to find a public park to train on is shocking. Cannot dispute we had better teams when we did it mind, but the point still stands. We can now spend all our hard earned on the team. I think that was the plan all along. Unfortunately not all the plan worked as we did have a couple of managers who, again in my opinion, were not very good at either picking players or managing them. What does get up my goat is the Petrie bashing for not backing managers (not aimed at you). We spent the money, just not wisely. I have not a clue why, maybe blind optimism, but I think Fenlon can and will do what others before him could not.
