Lyle Lanley Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 2 hours ago, Tommy Tappin said: Out of interest, given that Foley wants us to become the indisputable third force in Scottish football, who in our current squad do you reckon could get us there? I'll go first: 1. Maolida That's it. Any others? Maolida, Marcondes, Welsh, Obita, Boyle and ALF as back-up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyle would still be a decent player to have and is good back-up. Edited April 15 by Lyle Lanley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his legs are completely gone and defenders have no problem catching him any more. For a guy who based his entire game on speed, that's an issue and as our highest paid player, he needs to go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see us make massive changes to the playing squad on the summer but I think we’ll still have half of this squad next season. No Monty announcement yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Bridge Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I know it's an unpopular opinion but @Tommy Tappin is right about Boyle. His legs are gone and he's wasteful. His enormous wages could be better used elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 No issues with ditching Boyle either btw. He's been a decent servant, but he's offering less and less now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoose Rice Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I don't think any clubs bidding for Boyle or covering his wages. Just have to hope with a better manager and pre-season behind him he's better like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that @Lyle Lanley Nothing will happen till there is a board meeting and I wouldn't expect that meeting to happen till sometime this week when the ramifications of the Bottom 6 are assessed (i.e financial implications of missing out on home games with one of the uglies and a home derby). Failing to finish Top 6 got Wee Shaun his jotters. The precedent was set. I don't see how they can keep him and there is 2 weeks till the next game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once their findings are complete then the recommendations on Kensall, Monty and others will be actioned. Could be minor surgery or it could be a bloodbath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had longer than Maloney, was better backed in January and has sill finished bottom six. Maloney was sacked for less. No way they sack Kensell, the Gordon's love him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may depend how much the Black Knights group kick off with the Gordons. None of them are in this for Hibs to be finishing Bottom 6. It's been 3 years since Jack Ross finished 3rd and it's been bang average to failure ever since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
