Les, us Hibbies seem to spend most of our lives totally and utterly fed up with the club. No matter who we sign, who the manager/owner is, whatever community engagement projects we're engaged in etc
If we can ever bring ourselves to say 'well done Hibs' for something, the goodwill lasts all of 5 minutes before we hate them for doing/not doing something else.
In January, we signed seven players, a minimum of two of which are waaaay above our pay grade and we got a billionaire to invest in us. Collective Hibby response: 'nae guid enough, why did we no sign 32 year old Van Veen and Jason no knees Kerr?'
As a club, we're miles ahead of the days of Rod 'spend a pound less than we earn' Petrie (and as my avatar shows, I loved Iron Rod), so why so much malcontent? Is it simply coz we don't win many games? Because breaking news just in: we've never won all that many games.The 5th biggest club in the league is 6th in the league table. It's not like we're miles off it.
You're 7th tbf

Apparently he played 12 times for us. A remarkable revelation.
Given our results the back end of that season, it tracks

Being sensible is all well and good, but it feels like it's been ages since we've had any excitement on deadline day. I'm still chasing that Abiola Dauda high.

Overall happy with the transfer window, though Boyce's continuing absence atm is a worry if we lose Shankland for any period of time. Added what looks to be an excellent, Fraser on paper adds something we don't have and we've held on to our best players, with a couple of good contracts to give some stability.

Best window I can ever remember. Roll on the summer for even better. Win the Scottish Cup this year with the squad we have now and go from there.
Would it no be prudent to see if any these guys are actually good before declaring that?
Or you might just mean getting rid of McKirdy in which case, fair point

Usually found in the spam folder. Maybe if the SPFL had looked there you would've been saved from relegation along with the Partick and Stranraer.
Oh dear.
Thank you.
Please Stop.
Thank you

You've got the third highest budget in the league to ease Bonehead into the position, having qualified for Europe last season with him all but managing the club. I hope you're not comparing it to Dundees situation. Budgets aren't everything though, accepted, which is why you were deservedly relegated during Covid after getting pumped week by week - including against second bottom St Mirren a week before seize of play.
Neilson was the man who whipped up a frenzy before the game, playing up to the bitter Maroon morons in the crowd. We didn't win, we equalised through Jason Cummings and Hearts fans proceeded to boo their team and head for the exits. That was the only part of the game where the frenzy took place in the home ends.
Bonehead describes a very stupid person which is spot on for Steven Naismith. An absolute thicko who will see Hearts as a pathway to get to the larger intertwined knuckle dragging Glasgow branch of the Gorgie/Govan alliance.
With any competent manager Hearts would be winning this Saturday against a team decimated with injuries but with 'Naisy' in charge we'll wait and see.
Thank you.
Who knew there was a bottom of the barrel on the Internet.

Just saying it as I saw it. Dundee were excellent for the bulk of the match on Tuesday, whereas Hearts let us dominate the first half and didn't look that impressive overall. Also the game being at Dens I can only see a home win. I understand that you will totally disagree.
I think you're abusing the word dominate somewhat.

Have you really?
Without being disrespectful, but I dont think I will be taking any advice from a hearts fan, given the lack of any consideration that any of you had for things like the FTB club merger plan, the STV cash, Robinsons plans, Romanov.
(theres probably more, but I'm not really that bothered).
I get that argument, but then all of that stuff ended badly. So anyone questioning the motivations would have been correct

Our first CH target was a guy from Sunderland who Montgomery was worked with before. Sunderland blocked that so we appear to have asked Bournemouth if they've got anyone they don't want.
On your point about losing players below their true value, our player sales figure over the last 10 years has hardly allowed us to line the boardroom with gold, so not worried about that either. We've developed one player (McGinn) worthy of EPL status in recent years. The Foley deal is hardly going to block the flow.
My understanding is that we're free to trade with whomever we want. Given that we've brought in a player from Hertha Berlin and another that McDermott knows, this month, that seems to bear out for the time being.As I say, 'cautiously optimistic'
All fair enough and time will tell. There's still plenty Hearts fans who think the Romanov approach was a success, so on-field victories go a, long way

There's being a feeder club and being a feeder club. If it was us my worry would be that if you're directly feeding one chain, do you get the maximum value for any real assets, or do you accept that the drip feed of cash means you might lose someone for under their true value, maybe lose some sell on value etc.
Additionally, you're clearly going to be getting Bournemouth players to develop. That might be good or or might be bad - the worry is it's bad for Hibs but good for Bournemouth what say would you have in changing it. Maybe Hibs have scouted all of Britain to settle on Owen Bevan, but who knows

I think we can all hope for it to be as successful as Lorient has been, it's been a rocket ride for them towards Ligue 2 glory since he got involved there

You've got to admire the optimism of having a long term plan at 79.

It's no what I'd want for Hearts but the Hibs fans seem happy enough. Could go well or badly, hopefully the latter

I guess the frustration is that both big decisions despite being probably correct probably feel a bit unmerited, a trip that Miovski had no intention of and was a little bit removed from the actual goal (if VAR has to exist then what’s its cut off and was that clear and obvious and directly involved in the act of the goal?) and then a penalty that is by the rules a penalty but Devlin did nothing at all wrong and it’s a 80% chance of a goal, for something that nobody could do anything about. The handball rule is a mess. When you have a fanbase already frustrated then it’s going to wind some people up even further
I think the goal doesn't happen without the trip. Beni closes down Barron and Kingsley wouldn't by trying to cover two men.
The handball rule is shite but if you jump to block a cross with your hands out and it hits them you're going to get it given 9 times of 10.
All for changing it back to it having to be a deliberate act. We've suffered from it this season more than once

Must have been watching a different game mate.
I watch ones where you don't count disallowed goals. Was a tremendous finish and definitely would have been the 2nd best goal of the game if it had counted.
Which it didn't.

I mean when we signed Tziolis, Struna and Goncalves i had us in the CL spots so i get the excitement, but a more cynical man might look at 2 untried CHs and be a bit sceptical about how they'd improve your defence
