Blastronaut 1333 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Craig Hope now saying the Kuol to Hearts loan deal is done. Dunno who or how reliable Hope is, but if it happens I honestly don't think it will be a bad move for him, and it's only 6 months. Don't massively rate the current Hearts manager (and the Brora Rangers cup result was fucking hilarious) but their recent transfer policy has been on the money and worked well for them compared to their Edinburgh rivals. Might even go as far as saying it's been better than Rangers (and I'm not just referencing Snoddy, but there is that). Plus it's Edinburgh. Cunt can practically commute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 19806 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If we didn't get European football next season but we still improved our squad and continued our projection I'll be happy with that. Sure Europe would be mint. But not at the detriment of the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if Kuol is as promising as it sounds, Hearts are almost nailed on for top four. He'll be fine up here, Snoddy will keep him off the deep fried mars bars and pizza crunch and worst hatchet job up here he won't face until April. Not a Hearts fan by any stretch but they seem to have their shit together lately with transfers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougle 3287 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) I was in a whiskey shop in Inveraray a few years ago perusing their various wares and picked one off the shelf that had essentially a numbered, signed white label on it. I asked about it and the wifey with a totally normal tone replied that it was very raisiny and a perfect breakfast whisky. I bought it.

Just for clarity, while I probably do have a pretty unhealthy relationship with alcohol I only drink at breakfast on very special occasions. Birthdays, Christmas, cars in for for expensive repairs, severe hangovers etc. Since I had kids the bulk of my drinking is done at night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 2628 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 No idea how much we actually can spend but, given our current league position, you'd expect the owners would want to try to get a player or two in to maintain that rather than not spend anything and risk the remainder of the season. Not only is the £2.2mil per position an incentive but our current position would attract a higher calibre of player too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34724 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Edwards reckoned the club thanked him in the past window for lowering expectations. Even if that were true (seems unlikely tbh) you’re talking about a journalist bragging because he was fed duff info which he then put into his articles. He’s a strange one like 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that slightly poisoned chalice of Champions League qualification versus Europa and Conference League. All may increase the appeal to players to some degree but only one gives you any noteable financial ability to put that appeal to work. Winning the Europa only nets around 8-9M Euro, runner up about half that. Just making the group stage of champions league will net you a minimum of double the winner of the Europa. Then each win adds approx 3M Euro (1M for a draw). If we make the Europa or Conference it's hard to see a scenario where that doesn't have a negative impact on our league campaign. If we make the champions league it will too, but we'll at least be able to bring in some quality players with the guaranteed prize money and exposure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10669 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I've no doubt that our unexpectedly good performance in the league, coupled with our piss-poor FA Cup performance will alter the boardroom plans. If Al-Rumayyan comes to town he'll probably loosen the purse strings again. I want ultra hipster signings. like Franca, Perrone etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
