I get I am coming across as a worry-merchant but I am calm and relaxed but I know the team could and should be improved.
I haven't given it much thought but I do not recall a manager barefaced lying (as opposed to being coy etc) to the media and supporters about their transfer activity being done or otherwise. Can you?
It's pretty daft if so as people might (not saying they are) not back the club as much financially if they feel the squad is not be improved this window.
I don't think PH is lying btw. I am not sure what is going on though.

Heckingbottom has said it in every interview. Now he may be lying but he’s getting more believable by the week imo.
I assumed he was telling porkies, as all managers do, but he’s certainly making a good job of convincing me. I know it’s a game of poker he’s maybe playing but managers up and down the country are telling the media when they’re done or if they’re still looking, if we are still in the market for a player or two I don’t think Heckingbottom needs to be as adamant as he’s been that nobody else will be signing unless a player leaves.
FWIW my gut instinct is telling me we must be signing other players, we have to be, I don’t blame other people for being concerned about what Heckingbottom is saying though as he’s playing a good part just now if he is making it up.

Nearly a million pounds sitting in the HSL bank account
How do you know this?
Better still who is feeding you this?
Were you at any of the two meetings?

PH said no more are coming in unless other players leave and we will then look to get in replacements. So yes, we might see more bodies in but they will be replacements for what we already have.

I’ve supported Hibs for a long time and I’ve seen this happen many times.
We’ve stuck to tight budgets and wage structures which have ultimately seen us remain fiscally responsible unlike others!
I really hope you are right and we get a couple of decent signings but I don’t thing P.H. is bluffing.
Let’s hope he gets the funds.

Heckingbottom was more enigmatic when asked about transfers in his latest press conference. Seemed to suggest there are still areas they want to strengthen.

There’s no doubting we’re short. There’s no doubting because of that that we lack a bit quality as well. I also agree that a couple more good signings could see us have a very good chance of best of the rest.
But I just don’t see what people are seeing in other teams currently to make them think they’re better than us. Especially the folk that expect Hearts to demolish us. The very same Hearts team who if our two results go the way they’re expected to go at the weekend will be 5 behind us after 3 games with us having visited Ibrox.Last edited by calumhibee1; 22-08-2019 at 03:54 PM.

On 31 January 2019 HSL had £1,170 in the bank and since then they have donated £109,800 to the club. There's not a chance in hell that they've raised £1.1m in the last 6 months.

Maybe some of that £1m from Ron has been redistributed.

He did sound more possitive and made it clear it would be foolish to tell the media what's going on behind the scenes, although that was mentioned in relation to Shaw.

Why can’t we compete with rangers? Shouldn’t that be our aim? That defeat was appalling.
The manager and his signings need to up their game a bit.
My issue is the manager doesn’t come across as a positive upbeat get the fans buzzing sort of guy.
1 up front is dull, it’s boring and after the last few seasons rollercoaster it’s just not what we are used to.
Is obvious we need better players. I’d say at least 2-3, certainly a tough midfielder and a striker

Didn’t believed Hecky when he said we were done. He was openly chasing 2 other players who we failed to get. I think there will still be 2 more to come in.
