Be above the relegation dogfight, compete a bit in the cups, beat Sevco at least once, play better football, increase crowds, be in a position to build further for next season.
It was ! King was all over the news saying that all of the season ticket money would be 'put into the playing squad'. isn't that pretty much what all clubs do anyway ??? Deluded h**s reckon it means an 11 mill transfer fee budget, I reckon it was king talk for covering the wage bill
They also had a wage bill of over £10 mil for last season, which, presumably, they'll have to budget for next season, using up the season ticket money and then some.
The question no one seems to be asking in the whole Moult/Rangers scenario is........where the fuck are they going to get half a mill from ? They are heavily indebted and basically, have started having a fire sale, which may yet be a closing down sale. If any such deal goes ahead, I would hope our board would have the good sense to demand full payment up front.
Not asking to start an argument, but how many times this season has Ainsworth been played as a winger. When we scudded County earlier in the season, he played a blinder and was dropped next game by McGhoo. Robinson has been trying to play him behind the strikers. I would reckon (although I don't know for sure) he's played/started less than 6 games this season in his natural position.
^^ This. Hibs had massive crowds when McLeish was in charge in the first division because they were pumping teams week in week out and were a cut above everything else in that division with players like Sauzee and Latapy.
I'm sure our management team will already know this, but any sale to Rangers should be on a 'cash with order' basis.
That would be enough to put an end to that piece of business.
