I disagree that our last batch of proper reinvesting didn't work - it just ended up being a bit delayed in when it worked.

Just now Aberdeen have a stadium that either needs a lot of work or a new stadium altogether, Hearts are £20m into a new stand and markedly inferior training facilities. We have HTC, we have the new East Stand. The problems came from not investing enough in the team - Petrie looked after every penny to the detriment of the first team in the end. When we won the Scottish cup, Lennon blew a lot of it on absolute dross like Big Dave, Slivka and the like.

With no immediate infrastructure work, a reasonable recent record in scouting and excellent training facilities, we're miles ahead in what we can do with player sales compared to our rivals, even with us all feeling the effects of the pandemic.

Player sales can be a good thing - as long as you have enough depth in that position (and with Stevenson and Mackie we do), and the scouting of new talent to bring in with that money is good (and we've really been the best we have been in years at that just now).

Not desperate to see Doig go, but would also be excited to see where we could propel ourselves with a couple of million in our pockets.

I think it's because we've not seen enough reinvestment in the first team in recent years that we've
Slivka was one of the better players Lennon signed. Far from dross. 3 winners against the old firm. We've had much, much worse even recently.
