Still hurting from losing to old firm but they are in a different league. We did beat the third team comprehensively. Jambos have lost to the teams that were bottom. Lets take them on Thursday.Quote:

Totally ignoring the reality of their finances. They already are in the red.

Big clear out could be paper talk / wishful thinking.Quote:

Sounds like they are hanging their hopes on getting a few quid for Hickey to fund deals, but I find it incredible that Manchester City would have any interest at all.
Stendel now winless in 13 games.
and we were supposed to be fuming over them getting him ��
Priceless!Quote:

More financial doling on the way.
This is brilliant and it will be very difficult on Boxing Day but this is a very winnable game.

Yup. There are already negative comments over the road appearing about him. The vast majority are blaming Levein for his 100% loss record but defeat in the derby will start to put him under the microscope.Quote:

Fans expectations of £££millions spending in January yet they have massive heavily contracted squad and a funding shortfall. I wonder if Budgie will ask sorry demand FOH to delay another year before taking over so she can hover up the subs and let Levein and MacPhee spend it on more dross?
Priceless.
Ha superb.Quote:

Make no mistake, Stendl will be in the dugout on Thursday. Then he will be in the Diggers, The Golden Rule, and all points east, as far as the Cowgate.
I don’t think I’d have a single member of their team at Hibs. Halkett maybe as he was good before he joined them but has been rank rotten since.Quote:

They also have a wage bill of over £8 million plus and for a club of their size it’s unbelievable.
Long may this continue and hopefully we can add to their misery on Boxing Day!

In the days where they paid Skacel, Nade etc hyper inflated wages they were at least a decent team. I’m at a loss as to how they’ve gotten it so wrong.Quote:

If they go down they’re not coming back up.
Oh he’s getting pelters over the road too, claims he’s overweight with a beer belly. We really have to have a run at their centre halves and not fall into the trap of launching in high balls like the game at ER.Quote:

Midfield - no creativity and even if you put Naismith in an attacking midfield role he’s never fit. Players who I reckon could be decent in a better team - Clare - get no opportunity to do so. Up front - well, McLean (who by Leveins admission can’t run due to ****ed knees), Craig Wighton who wasn’t any good at Dundee, Ikpeazu who is a typical Levein signing - I genuinely think that’s a Scottish League One strikeforce.Quote:

It’s quite staggering how bad a state they’ve gotten themselves in.
They have a huge first team squad with a massive wage bill. This cannot be sustained and then there is the day to day running and maintenance.Quote:

They want Budgie out but who the hell will they bring in that will help them with donations when they are in it even more.
They are currently living outwith their means and this is FACT yet the hordes want them to spend even more.
FWIW a yam associate reckons Stendl’s connections have lined up 2 current German internationals to come on loan to help them out the more.
I quizzed him a bit more about it, chuckling at the same time, and I got the usual response, jealous hobo 1-5 blah blah.
They are deluded and big time!

Cant see any decent player wanting to join bottom of the league FC Darkswampypitch.
Maybe get a couple of run of the mill loan signings who’ll say they care, but really they wont
.
And the spineless FOH just sit and say nothing.
It’s like....imagine you agree a price for a house but won’t get it for several months. You trust the seller and you agree to pay inflated price and pay them as and when they want. You even agree to delay the purchase as it suits them. Meanwhile the seller is ripping out the kitchen,, drilling holes in the wall, destroying the garden, taking everything that is worth anything out and replacing with cheap items or not at all.
You might jump in and say WTF!!
Can't believe that some of them over there think that there be able to sign Shankland next month.
I just had a gander on kickback, one of them is talking about signing Shankland... Merry Christmas!
And if we look at their issues on the most basic form:
The size and state of their pitch lends itself only to blood and guts hoofball. They have a manager who wants to play Klopp style gegenpressen football on the deck. He’s rumoured to be on twelve grand a week for something that can’t succeed there.
The league table is such a beautiful sight just now.

I'm not saying the story is true, but it's logistically possible.... though it sounds like an incredibly stupid thing to do.
Somebody has posted that they should buy Dykes for £750k. I'm not sure they can even afford Derek Dykes.Quote:

They really don’t get it. They have no cash but I am aware that has never stopped them in the past!
