Hope the whole thing bursts. Man City and PSG. Bought by Oil rich Middle eastern states looking to use football to sports wash their image. Thats not to say other clubs are not owned by terrible people and deserve criticism, but when you have a whole state funding your club, then your club will be associated with the terrible things that happen in that state. Man City are also terrible for the way they have sought to circumvent every financial rule that all clubs have to abide by. They have broken Premier league rules then went to court to stop it being reported in the press (Daily Mail last week managed to get a judge to allow them to see it.)

Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Looking at Ross County's signings, Malky Mackay, former SFA performance director, responsible for overseeing the development of young players, seems to be determined to sign all non-Scottish players. How the hell did he talk himself into that job at the SFA? What a joke. he's clearly got no interest at all in developing good young Scottish players.

Carl Fredrickson Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Re Many City - this has been the way in a number of countries for a number of years. We have witnessed it in Scotland since the mid 1980s. Apart from Leicester, England has been similar with the same few teams winning the league since Leeds in the early 90s. The club(s) with most money do better. City just have a huge amount more money and a manager who spends it better than a lot of others. The EPL is about survival for most clubs as it is cash cow. The sooner the bubble bursts the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty much the way I am seeing it now. Hibs tried to maximise the hype on a young player, put out that clubs were competing for him in the hope that some club would fall for it and make them a quick buck. Was listening to an interview yesterday of a journalist who has investigating the transfer market (in particular the murky side of it) but he talked about agents often pass stories onto the press of different clubs after their player to drum a transfer, and it can often work. And for all the talk of Hibs transfer selling ability, they only really sold 1 player for over £500k in the last 3 seasons, John McGinn. We have done the same in that period and there has often been talk how poor we are at selling players. I also get the sense that Hibs budgeted their transfer window signings on selling a player, and nothing has happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole situation is a PR stunt to keep up this myth regarding Hibs and creating players or recruiting the best young Scottish talent.There is no chance they would risk a (hold my tea whilst i laugh my head off() £5million to play a left back against the worst team in the league at home. FWIW i do beleive that Nisbet will be away to Celtic as soon as the Edouard money comes in. FFS they told us last season that Gogic was a cut above,the guy would not get a game for Bonnyrigg Rose.

The difference is Hickey only had a year left on his contract and unwilling to renew whilst Nisbet signed a 4 year deal when joining. We done well getting that amount of fee.

Hope the whole thing bursts. So if instead of Vlad, some oil rich sheikh had bought Hearts, ploughed in a crap load of money so we could Hoover up talent and trophies, how many Hearts fans would be complaining. Very few I guess. There has been financial doping at top clubs for years. Man United did it for years in the Fergie era by paying transfer fees that others couldn’t, so did Rangers in the 80s and 90s, Real Madrid are another. How many top leagues these days are loaded to the rich. Last season without fans was an anomaly - Lille, Inter, Athleti. Not the richest of clubs in comparison to the Juve, Barca, Real of this world but managed to win a league. Last 10 years before that, other than Leicester, when did a team who were really outside the top 1 or 2 clubs in league win the league in France, Germany, England, Italy, Russia (Zenit) win the league. I suspect that in my lifetime, unless they both leave Scottish Leagues, the league winners will come from the blue or green side of Glasgow. It’s 36 years since it was won by a team outside Glasgow. It will be a long time before another Lille or Leicester happen again. Personally I’d prefer the ‘big clubs’ had been allowed to form a Super League but would have to leave their respective national leagues. If I can’t get to Tynecastle, my time will now be spent going to Warrington Town or Marine. Football where money doesn’t matter and more of a level playing field.

Thats a good point, can see Ferguson moving on, especially as they have not got into Europe. I would agree, I think if Premier league clubs see Scottish football as a viable place for player development, then it opens up the quality of player they will send north., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
