Tom English said on Sportsound that we missed out on Flood by £500 a week. That's £26k over the season.
How many multiples of £26k has it cost us?

How much more did we need to offer to get Rooney?

Not sure how much I believe though as Butcher has denied we were ever really in for Rooney. Unless he's been told to say that after we missed out of course.Last edited by Pretty Boy; 30-03-2014 at 04:27 PM.

I've no doubt it is true - Petrie peed off Falkirk by trying to raise the Taylor fee by £25,000 at a time. Still, we got Barry Lavety instead

This can't be true - we always back our manager! It's an open secret, don't y'know?

I've said before do you want 10 decidedly average players at £2k a week or 5-6 pretty good ones at £4k, adds up to the same amount of money spent.

A lack of ambition cost us along with keeping a clueless manager at the start of the season. It annoys me so much that aberdeen flung a bit of money at it this season and they are 2 games away from completing the double while battling for 2nd.
Us on the other hand.....

For years there have been arguments about the sense or otherwise of having some bigger earners at the club. It is for me one of the reasons why Rod Petrie has failed the club badly. I don't think he has any understanding of how to build a football team - i.e. the blend of youth/stead eddies on the lower wages with a few leaders and stars on higher wages. It has been argued that this causes division within a squad. I don't think this would be the case if the 'stars' are clearly a cut above and lead by example. The young guys will be inspired to reach their level, and the steady eddies generally know where they fit into things. I can't think of any policy that RP has implemented (if this is indeed a RP policy) that is as detrimental to our functioning as a football club.

I think TB needs Richie Foran on board, a man in the changing room and on the pitch that knows exactly what he wants, maybe Lasley from Motherwell be similar? That sort of character would be worth paying that bit extra

Long believed we have lost out on several players in the last few years by being unwilling to offer that extra few hundred per week. Something to ponder, for all Petrie gets credit for running a good financial ship, how much has he lost the club by failing to invest adequately in the team and this seeing more and more choosing not to turn up every week.

McPake and KT must be the big earners at ER and both will be away in the summer. Along with the others TB will have a decent budget to play with.

Tom Farmer has always been about getting value for money from what I've heard about him. I think he sees footballers the same way he sees tyres, why pay more for a brand name, top of the range tyre when you can have a value tyre for half the price. Tyre's a tyre after all.

Petrie's contract negotiations are downright embarrassing. Weve lost out on dozens of players who have been blown away by our facilities but have laughed and walked away as soon as Petrie starts talking cash.

I think that's the culture at hibs at the moment though. And the evidence of my own eyes tells me that we sign an awful lot of average players. And managers for that matter.
