    Who actually cares what Hibs are or are not looking to pay an electrician!

    I can’t believe some of the threads on here at the moment.

    I was wondering what Easter road having a low paid electrician could possibly have to do with everyday fans 🤨 and why anyone would care enough to comment.

    Ron obviously runs a tight ship. Hopefully every penny saved on ancillary staff goes towards the team.

    Huh?

    Think of all the American employers in the UK, thousands of companies, millions of employees. Their staff get paid the same as everyone else in the workplace!!

    What an utterly bizarre take on things.

    Why should Hibs offer a pension equal to the civil service? Why did you pick that to go by? There's very few companies offer final salary pensions these days, especially to new members.

    Nest is fine as a Workplace pension. I get 20 days holidays plus 9 public days.

    Don't see any problem with what Hibs are doing here.
    Even the civil service doesn't offer final salary pension schemes to those who joined after 2015 - it's career average these days (still good, but not as 'gold plated' as the Daily Mail would have you believe)

    Maybe some people can do both? At no point did me or the dozen others say he wasn't doing a good job.

    Very selective but I agree everything is looking good and everything is moving forward but most stuff is on the launch pad awaiting launch. I reckon the whole picture will start to be revealed in 11 months time.

    The big pluses are:

    • Players tied up for longer / not lost key players
    • Ross tied up for another 2 years

    I think the bigger pluses are we are no longer sheite, and look to be a club who can now compete regularly for Europe through our league position, and for cups by making the later stages most seasons.

    And under the new owner, i feel this much more than i ever did under the last one.

    Everything else is just white noise to me, nice to hear about but ultimately the team are my major focus. If they do well, i feel good about the club.

    There's no point having big screens if we are playing poor and fighting relegation, i dont feel we will be doing that anytime soon.

    I think the list of positives is fair in it’s selection, and my personal history of supporting Hibs (for over 50 years) tells me that it’s much better now than most of that time … some exceptions of course perhaps,, maybe in the 70s, Sauzee and Latapy times, and of course May 2016. But all in all, on and off the field feels like it has grown since the thankful demise of Butcher, and off the field feels as strong as it ever has in my time … stronger perhaps.

    Club feels like it's getting bigger and growing which is what we have all wanted for years.

    We are by a distance ahead of the rest and in the tier of clubs just behind Rangers and Celtic on the field now.

    Looking like a top 4 of Glasgow and Edinburgh this season with some pundits thinking the Edinburgh clubs could even challenge for the title.

    Hibs. Net, where you must unconditionally blow smoke up the clubs arse.

    I don't suddenly hate Hibs. The facts show they are offering a very low wage for what they are wanting. That's it. I'm still going to the match today.
    You’d think there was only one side of this argument being presented on here.

    Hibs.net, where you must unconditionally forget that you’ve been able to make (repeatedly) the point that is being discussed.

    I wouldn't say Mikey Stewart is an idiot. Easily the best and most honest pundit up here. He was talking a lot of sense before the 3pm games on Sportsound on Saturday when they were discussing Ron Gordon's interview and why change is needed, granted Willie Miller was tying himself in knots and was sceptical.

    More pundits should be following Mikey Stewart lead and calling Rangers out for what they are.

    I sort of agree with you both. I would be amazed if either Edinburgh club was within 10 points of the old firm by the end of the season, but it’s also really refreshing to have one of the countries most high profile pundits not connected to the old firm and happy to “talk up” the importance of Hibs and Hearts. If he really thinks we are likely to properly compete with the old firm this season then I’m afraid he’s probably wide of the mark, but I love the fact he is positive about teams outside of Glasgow.

    I heard M Stewart on Saturday and agree he’s generally decent. However, on Saturday he called out Sky for only covering Celtic/Huns away games.

    It was a bit hypocritical in my view. Last Thursday BBC Scotland opted to pick Celtic v Raith over Dundee Utd v hibs, Saturday the live game was Dundee v Rangers as opposed to Hearts v Livi, and Sunday it was Celtic v Dundee Utd over Hibs v St Johnstone.

    The BBC are every bit as bad as Sky when favouring Glasgow clubs over the rest of Scottish football but Mikey Stewart conveniently doesn’t mention that.

    That's a fair point, I think I saw someone else mention BBC stating they have to remain impartial on five live. Mark Chapman is always saying they have to remain impartial when he's on five live before they discuss something or head somewhere.

    Why is that not the case on BBC Radio Scotland? I heard Richard Gordon say something which was a clear breach of impartiality. And then you have their favourites always discussing the Old Firm. It needs to change.

    He is if he thinks anyone apart from the bigots will win the league.

    Last Thursday stuck in my throat. Celtic v Raith over Utd v Hibs. I mean seriously!

    It’s pandering to the masses. Most conversations end up discussing the Ugly sisters.

    I used to enjoy it when Craig Paterson and Tam McManus had a slot but you’ve not Rly got anyone with Hibs connections.

    Bonner for Celtic, Miller for Dons, Levein/Stewart Hearts, Hateley/Ferguson for the Huns.

    Yogi is ok but always feel like he’s touting himself for a managers job.

    Agreed, it can be painful at times with Tom English, Bonner, Ferguson and even Miller who is stuck in a different era. It is still generally decent though, especially open all mics which is a very good show.

    I remember back in the day Gordon Smith and Murdo McLeod were on it and don't recall them being as Old Firm biased as it is now.

    I think as fans it's OK to dream about winning the league, it's OK to talk it up even if we don't really believe it and if we win at the weekend it's OK to get a bit excited about it.

    The Scottish Premiership in it's various incarnations has been so dull in terms of a title challenge from outside Glasgow for so long that I can't get on board with this grounded realism. If we are within touching distance at the top, no matter how early then I'm going to big it up and enjoy it.

    I think were we have to be realistic is if/when we fall away. You have to have the smarts to realise that finishing 3rd or 4th is still a good season. Of course if someone like Motherwell or, God forbid, Hearts go on to win it then you can ask why not us? If, as we all expect if we are being honest it ends up being Rangers, Celtic...............the rest then going nuts because we bottled it or whatever is just daft.

    Who actually cares what Hibs are or are not looking to pay an electrician!

    I can’t believe some of the threads on here at the moment.
    With all this talk of electricians, maybe the thread title should be changed to "Under Ron the Club is glowing"?

    It used to be a must listen, high quality show back in the day with the likes of Bob Crampsey, David Begg, Murdo McLeod etc. I takes me to listen to it these days.

    Maybe Celtic pay their electricians more money and therefore get priority on Sportsound.
