Should we be concerned that another 2012 could happen at the club as some newspaper opinions suggest?
16 Sep 2024 22:11:52
Are we now taking newspapers as gospel do you think we would have spent £10million plus this summer if that was to be the case.

NO we shouldn't OWS. This is the liewell rag at its worsed. Who remembers being at school and being told worsed was not a word lol.

Of course we have good reason to worry, that doesn’t mean we are definitely going to have another 2012 nightmare . However we need to be very careful, all expenditure needs to be carefully scrutinised. This is not a good time for playing Hagi’s wage and getting nothing in return.
Agents tend to steer their players away from clubs that there are rumours of a financial shortfall.

OK no posts.

We get nothing in return from Hagi regardless of paying his wages, the guy is hopeless.

We should have been concerned if we didn't cut millions off the wages bill to a manageable figure, move on an ageing squad and bring youth into the team and have a strong management and recruitment team to take us forward. Really, anyone expecting us to demolish celtic at the start of this season has to have a reality check, Clement said we see the team start to kick on in October, I'm starting to see green shoots. Think all expected Tav to move on too and there seems to be a group of new players and a dwindling group of old leaders . Moving forward, what the boss has done in 2 windows is move a lot of the players on that loads on here have been screaming out for and start to build for the future not just this season,
I'm behind him.

Good to see you back on white horse.

Could nt agree more Bazbear, hopefully the new players gel and the remainder of the old guard are moved on by the end of the season, Tav being no 1 and hopefully we can bring in a number 6 in the next window, andmaybe anotherforward depending on injuries and squad needs. I don't expect Dessers, Lawrence, Dowell and Tav to be here next season. My only fear for PCis his record against the Mhob. He has to beat them at Ibrox or the fans will put him under tremendous pressure. I don't expect too much this season as its a rebuild year. Not everyone will be patient.

We’re in debt to our owners, what exactly is going to be the reason for us going into financial trouble? We just spent £4m on a player 3 weeks ago.

Onewaltersmith no press on an 2012 situation only thing saying we're in a situation like of 2012.
17 Sep 2024 09:34:57
We MUST all get behind him. He has done a lot to help with lowering the average age, lowering the wage bill and moving on the deadwood. It will take time but we should still be able to beat the rest of the Scottish Premiership Clubs and solely focus on the Celtic games.
17 Sep 2024 09:37:29
Hopeless dado? That's utter nonsense.
17 Sep 2024 09:38:54
Spot on bazbear. The short termism is what has led to us being in this mess. Look at the level of recruitment Koppen had at PSV and how it worked out for them. Diomande Barron Igamane Cortes Jefte all are young talented players who will be main stays in our team for a couple of years. We are building the core of a squad that’s going to get better let’s all just get behind it and make life easier for everyone than sit and moan at everything.

Would we really have committed money to non essential infrastructural work if we were in financial difficulties plus we have no debt to anybody other than shareholders and we have decent money coming in from the Europa League. We also have a number of wealthy shareholders who wouldn't allow this to happen.
Back in 2012 we had an owner who had run out of cash and interest who couldn`t find a buyer because of a retrospective HMRC case and who chose to sell to a con man who made things worse by not paying our current HMRC bill. It should not be forgotten that Walter had kept us afloat by qualifying for C.L and a run to the UEFA Final, Allys team going out of both European Comps early removed a source of much needed cash. None of this is happening now. Fake News.

Good point wslgers4ever, the green half have been saying we're going bust for 10 years, just wishful thinking on their behalf, think we're heading towards sustainability, and some euro runs or trophy wins will only enhance that, we're not the best team in Scotland just now but it won't be long and celtic would have been pumped out the champions league if they'd have had to play qualifiers, yet they didn't because of our euro form ironically.

2012 was a 2009 movie where they collected together all the ham actors for the same project .
