    Hold on. I thought we agreed with this? All clubs would have a greater chance to be competitive at the top end of the table.

    I actually agree with him. They are deluded enough to believe they could challenge Celtc and even if they were only beating the other teams for 2nd they would turn out in large numbers. It's what they do (and we don't).

    Change the word spend to borrow and you are right.

    It's the sort of arrogant and positive attitude we could do with more of.

    Rangers starting from scratch in the Third Division will be of huge financial benefit to the lower division clubs. Spread a bit of the money about the leagues.

    Otherwise they should be made to play all their home games in the SPL with closed doors and no TV for one year. The travelling support would presumably rise and some financial pay off would come to other clubs in the league.

    he has a point but lost it completely with his ignorance and arrogance. may i remind him that his big team didnt finish 3rd this year and that (most suspect) they will be a weekened team next year due to them having to cut budgets. if he said "spl clubs" then yeah he would have a fair, measured, respectful comment. instead it just reeks worse than my fart that i just dropped

    Mr Reilly, take note.

    This statement coming from a Jambo, I hate to say that I agree with most of what he say's.

    We will have an even better chance of competing with Celtic once the tax man catches up with Hearts ; )

    Most of what he says is fair enough. What he's missed is that Hearts would probably be well advised to keep the newco route open for future precedent.

    We were deluded enough to believe we'd beat them in a big game recently. How did that turn out again?

    I am not sure why we are laughing - the guy has a point.

    At Hibs we should be doing everything we can(within our means) in the next few years to challenge and get European Football / more money into the club.

    It's a great chance but the problem will be if the board realise it or not.

    Ambition please Hibs

    I tend to agree and don't see a lot wrong with the article. If we had a decent squad we would be of the same opinion. Plus it will be 11 teams going all out to take as many points off the lesser greens.

    I wish we showed a similar level of "hot air" thinking to be honest.

    I can see other clubs really going all out next season, while we do nothing and are fed the same crap as always.

    What makes you think Pat will not be going all out to get the best players he can to the club and ensuring we are more competitive.

    We all start back at nothing.

    Let's not make footballing issues due to bad run of managers and players they signed into something it's not. A new manager with new players have an opportunity to hit the ground running.

    With the budget resources we will still have why shouldn't we be playing for second next year?

    They couldn't even compete with Dundee UTD or Motherwell in the league last season so they are still a bunch of deluded ****s.

    I can't be the only one who sees the irony in Hertz supporters favouring punishments for clubs who overspend and fail to pay their bills.

    Nope. A common misconception because we got a couple of good holiday crowds but over the piece, our crowds fell from the previous seasons average
    This is how it feels
