We are not in any position to criticise them. I'm not criticising them in any way. Just stating that the massive turn over of players is incredible like you said they have not been relegated and played in Europe more than us in the last 10 years probably even been to Hampden more than us too and they never spend a penny on a transfer. Motherwell have also sold on players they got for 0 and made a profit. Well run football club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not in any position to criticise them. Not sure it's criticism bud. It's the way with most Scottish teams in truth. At our level in the market, it's high turnover of players for most teams most seasons. Guess there are a number of reasons. Decent players not wanting longterm deals as they want to use Scottish football as shop window and get a move as a free agent; clubs not wanting longterm deals as our market is filled with punts you don't want tied to if they're gash; lots of loans Our turnover has been far too high, of course, but it hasn't been ridiculously out of whack when you look at other teams. At one point we were being slagged left and right for it and Hibs' was much higher in the recent past. I really hope these days are gone for us and it's about 3 or 4 out and in every year. Hopefully the 3 or 4 out containing a couple for good dosh too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s symptomatic of the game today for a club their size, they are indeed a well run fan owned club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Daddy Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 26 minutes ago, BackOfTheNet said: Not sure. If they wanted to maximise money coming in then they could announce a signing now that would inspire people to pay full whack. So if they are sitting on any signings they’re not expecting them to set the world alight. I still don’t think any (other than Ginnelly) are over the line. Possibly... just grasping at straws! I do have a feeling the new strip will have a new signing wearing it, though. Don't know why... just a hunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I've just paid a daft amount of money for a football top, for an original 93 away so will be raging if now is the time we release a remake after I finally found one haha.

Incidentally, there are more layers to this than the marketing team would probably think of. I reckon hibs' cup final "effort" did more to boost our season ticket sales than they would imagine.
