Auld Reekin' Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 30 minutes ago, Nookie Bear said: He is visibly slowing down and will be found out when he doesn’t have decent players around him. His first instinct will be to do too much and that’s a recipe for disaster. Shame. His first instinct will be to steam in and go right through on an opponent. Thankfully, as he's no longer in the Scotland set-up nor playing for Sellick, he won't get anything like the leeway he used to from refs. His second instinct may well be to do too much.

As i said iv only heard part of it but what I heard was as expected to me in terms of what he came into , assets , shrinking the squad , the academy and average age of the team. Still think based on the above what you said is a bit misleading though. Opinions though i guess 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanny17 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Stadium sponsorship perhaps?

martoon Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 All seems a bit unlikely. £20m investment, very, very good news regarding transfers, further benefactor input...why would Hearts publicise any of that, let alone make an announcement of it? Have a horrible feeling this thread has peaked at the rumour and wishful thinking stage. The reality will probably be uninspiring signings and gadgies who could have been contenders if it wasn't for injury and "losing their way". Not sure I've ever felt this disenchanted about Hearts and football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Football 365's Mediawatch used to have a running joke where they would detail paper stories about transfers and how wildly different they were, with the conclusion "Summary: No one has a clue".
