The club set expectations in the summer with the downsizing and the new contract for the manager. Not sure what the support were expecting.

Well done to Stevie Clifford asking him that question, its not easy to put yourself out there and ask something that the manager wont want to hear. Or the usual cookie cutter guff for the usual suspects like Raman and Kheridine.

It was a joke mate, have a wee can of juice and chill.

We have a board?

I think we will have no choice but to be patient by the looks of things currently

Need to get the likes of Lovelace, Curtis and Stevens in about the team. They can offer something.

Glad we spent 10 million on the likes of Danilo, Hagi and N’Siala to beat stenny in the challenge cup. 😂

I have more faith in Phil than I had in Gio or Beale at this point, but it’s diminishing rapidly.

We didnt get lucky with Aribo, he was highly rated and expensive. Kamara and Sakala were good signings yes. Bassey was a fantastic signing. Now list the ones that were crap and a waste of money. If you have a spare 48 hours.

Maybe he would, I think he would be an improvement but I will never change anyone's mind. He would definitely be cheaper which would fit in well with our current aggressive downsizing.

We also unearthed Eduardo Herrera, 2.5 million Mexican carthorse, visitor of castles. We got lucky with Morelos.

How is this possible if losing possession is so bad?

When we harvest the magic money tree, we can buy better players than Shankland. The money wasted on Danilo and Dessers is criminal.

I've not seen any stats possession so I wont comment on them. I'll just comment on the eye test from what I saw from him last season. I have also seen him play as a #10 which is remarkable for a guy that stats say cant retain possession. In the extreme case that all he offers is lower wages and low fee then yes he is still a better option than Dessers. RE: stats. I'm not entirely sure Shankland is that motivated to play for Hearts this season. An issue I'm sure we all all more than familiar with, from our own team last few seasons.

Sakala was also a win. A guy we got for free, paid a small sign on, paid around half of what we were paying Lundstram and then sold for 4million after 2 years. We need to do more of the small wins like Sakala, the big wins will take care of themselves.

Its not about the goals.

Yes, and this includes under the panacea Gerrard. Its been all wrong for years.

If we could shift Dessers for 3-4 million in January and sign Shankand(who I don't think is particularly great tbh) for 500k and pay him 15k per week that's an instant upgrade for me. That's how bad he is. We also need to stop signing centre backs that are soft as sh**e like Propper. I also lost count, the number of times Cerny could have went in to tackle his man and he just didn't bother and backed off, backed off a few 50/50's too. That's pointless.

Koppen said it was down to money we decided against bringing him back. We are downsizing.

I think that the formation and style of play the manager wants to go with needs a #9 who can hold up the ball and pass to a team mate.

He is definitely better than Dessers, and has been more mobile from the treatment room for the past year, never mind when he is match fit.

Even if Danilo comes back fitter than ever(he wont) I still don't think he is very good.
