1. You’ve told lies on this forum. 2. You have an agenda. 3. You’ve consistently lowballed Shanklands valuation. (I’m fully aware this point is linked to the 2 above)

So Berwick Rangers* and Linlithgow Rose are the two teams with already midtable SPFL League 2 support. I would have thought East Kilbride would have had more tbh. Got to hand it to the guys to head along to Civil Servive Strollers most games. *good to see their crowds are OK after relegation.

While the likes Shankland, Clark and Gordon will be looking to impress Clarke for the Euros, the pressure is really off for the rest of the club. I'd happily have Naismith say to Tagawa, I'm giving you a start in next three games. Just try and relax and have fun and show me what you've got. We know what everyone else can do as Oda, Vargas & Forrest have all had plenty game time and have their contracts sorted out. So what harm in giving the lad a decent run out to see if he has something to offer?

A man just as callous and evil as Adolf Hitler IMHO.

I just mean from a physicality point of view. But whether he's better than Atkinson or not isn't the barometer the club should be using I agree we can do better than both and hope we do.

Out of the woodwork🤫

Clearly better than getting thrown of buildings.

Rangers won't be buying him- we'llstill wNt a decent fee, not some token amount., they will happily pick him up for a free a year later tho, no problem.

And why would you think we’d go into next season with only Oda and Tagawa? We can sign players!

Yip, if he runs down his contract there is only one destination, pretty obvious. Saudi being the curve ball ofc.

Incredulous and Indefensible

For comparison, here are the LL attendance figures. Note that the averages of those with missing entries is artificially low, because the total is divided by 17, e.g. Bo'ness' average is actually over 400 if divided by 7 (the number of attendances available).

I agree with what you’re saying in theory but it won’t transpire like that in the real world. Not with Shankland anyway.

that’s it mate, we need to make sure that in future clubs don’t bother trying to lowball us. We should be a pathway to bigger teams and bigger leagues but on our terms. players when they sign for us need to know that we will not be lowballed. If they don’t like it then do not sign in the first place. Hearts decide the price, for me qualifying for europe is worth £6m + finishing 3rd over 4th nearly a million, every win in Europe this season circa 400k . its not about what teams bid. People may very well be correct that is the highest we will receive . It doesn’t not mean we should accept becuase he is worth more than that to us. Hearts should be transparent with the fee we want. Be interesting for people to state their minimum, I mean - what if rangers are the only team interested and they only bid £1m are we entertaining that? or it it exactly £2m. ?

Soonlie110 still punting Shankland to the Huns I see. Can’t wait until the window opens and he can let us all know about the (imaginary) bids from them. 🙄

I honestly will never accept the rule as it stands, same as I don’t accept the handball rule - not that me accepting them makes any difference. Just because some dumplin somewhere decides to change rules doesn’t make them right. I do think it would benefit though if broadcasters did show the rule for whatever decision is being debated by their panel/pundits.

That's a quality story to be fair

100% £2m is nothing when you see that’s what Nisbett allegedly went for to millwall ffs. He’s 10 times the player Nisbett is despite his age.

Exactly what someone who's died would say.

Not achieved 1 promotion in almost a quarter of a century since gaining entry to the SPFL. I think its time for them to piss off back to the Highland League. There are more ambitious clubs that could easily take their place.

he will be lucky to start in the euros given Clarke’s loyalty to others. It won’t (in my opinion) put any suitors off signing him

Stormy Daniels

I try to forget mostly everything after I exit the ground, there's enough cr@p in my memory already 🙃

I suspect the poster your replying to knows all of what you have said but is desperately trying to throw some mud at Labour in hope his beloved SNP can escape the cesspit they have dug for themselves.

Rather that than sell him for an embarrassingly low fee now. Becuase in 2024 £2m is nearly the same as nothing. Hes worth more on the pitch by far. thats the bit that keep going round in circles. Some still think £2m is a good fee, or if that’s the max anyone will bid what we have to accept?. But the reality is it isn’t a good fee. Anyone who thinks that is simply incorrect. It wouldn’t have been a good fee for the SPFL player of the year, 25 years ago so it certainly isn’t now. It’s a tiny fee and we will get nowhere near replacing him with it. We will appear weak and clubs will continue to bid low amounts for our players. if we got an appropriate fee for the best player in the league. Then no issue. But it’s not £2m. Out of interested what if someone only bid £1m. Are we selling him then ?
