Popular Post The Godfather 72,077 Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 1 hour ago, Jakes Pal said: This is why it is important that despite the priority obviously being on the Title, we should still be giving it everything in the European games. This round alone will be worth several million to the Club, same again if we get through, we need to get as much cash from the Euro run this season as the Title and the CL jackpot is obviously by no means guaranteed. Winning the league puts the money we make in this a pittance. Whoever wins the league this year will have more money to play with than ever before.

Our wage bill is shamefully high. We have spent a lot on the stadium maintenance which was needed and spent a stupid fortune on New Ed House. Off-loading Roofe, Davies, Wright, Lammers, Dessers etc would be a start. Even Steve Davis retiring saves a big wage. NEH didnt come off the clubs budget i thought, wasnt it just long term loans from fan investors? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav Yilmaz push on to give the width n have Silva Dessers central. With 3 CBs We struggled defending balls into the box with a winger and a fullback on the park, until thats rectified id hate to see us play with only one wide player and constant cross balls into our box Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav Yilmaz push on to give the width n have Silva Dessers central. With 3 CBs I get your thinking but our run of fixtures are Benfica (7th), Hibs (10th), Benfica (14th), Dundee (17th), Hibs (30th), them (7th April). We don’t have the time or fixtures to try experimenting with formation, most I could see is maybe trying pushing Ridvan up one with Borna in behind if we really are at that level of emergency. Hopefully by the time we play Dundee we might be seeing some players returning, some much needed rest for the rest and ready to kick on for the final push! graeme_4 and OrangeRab 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Prso's headband 35,595 Posted March 7 Popular Post Share Posted March 7 Incredible what he’s achieved. If he drags this squad to the last 8 and the semi of the cup in the next 7 days it will be the biggest and quickest turnaround any club will have seen in the space of 6 months.

TartanTeddy 758 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Loving this season, most excit9ing in years, but a wee part of me can't wait until he has the chance to properly bring in his players and have a full off season But for now I guess I'll have to settle for a League Cup win, top of the league, a run in the Scottish Cup and going toe to toe with top teams in Europe!!

Yes it is what we could have done and it is what we have done. I understand the point the poster was trying to make from a squad perspective, but other than defeating Motherwell and Benfica last night, we couldn’t have had a better run of results if Sima and Danilo had been in the team.

So that is a start for imagining where we could have been with those players available. Can't argue with what he has done though 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a zero budget in January which is why we’re committed (ie out of pocket) to the tune of the combined figure for DioMande and Cortes although the latter’s injury muddies the water a bit. Bottom line is that he won’t have as much as we’d like but a league title and CL money would make a monumental difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
