I'll go first: 1. Maolida That's it. Any others? If Chris Cadden could stay fit and well, I would take him at Hearts. La Fondre as an impact sub, possibly. Really not seeing anything else I would take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His legs are gone and he's wasteful. His enormous wages could be better used elsewhere. It is neither popular nor unpopular. It is a stone cold fact. Boyle is shite now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a more nuanced study of Boyle would show he has had a number of assists to other scoring players this season. However there is no doubt he has lost a half yard of pace owing to the number of injuries he has sustained in the last few seasons mainly from the treatment he gets from Scottish defenders. If he was "shite" as you suggest he wouldn't still be getting international call ups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he just stayed on his feet with every imagined or innocuous of touches, he would be sparing his joints from further unnecessary impact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference being that they think that third is an achievement. That said, if we ever get round to reaching the dizzy heights of third again in the future, we'll probably get drunk off it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy Murray Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Looks ambiguous to me. If Foley looks at NM and his record he will empty him asap 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s very likely to get binned at the end of the season when this review is done, along with McDermott. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll wait and see what happens before I start praising them again. Edited April 17 by Lyle Lanley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofarl Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 A public bollocking. Monty had best pick up 10/12 points. Or it's his arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Kite Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 In my personal experience, any organisation that starts giving out "improvement plan" is one to leave as soon as you can. Most folk can't leave with a decent payoff like a football manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I thought part of the investment from the BK group was conditional on them not having any say or authority on the football side of the club? That statement sounds very much like they are heavily involved. Think it's a bit of a shite statement tbh. Touch of arrogance that you are somehow above a bottom 6 finish, and it doesn't do anything for Montgomery's position either way. Back him or get rid surely? Instead that reads like he's left in limbo and leaves him open to shite questions from the press for the remanider of the season making it even harder for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoose Rice Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Sack the f**k hibs. jeezo. This seems the same shite when we waited fucking ages for a director of football when the team on the pitch was pish and all we needed to do was be patient. We are most patient c***s in the world. They should have just said "sorry support for another shite season, gies your season ticket dosh and shut your mouths". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are conducting a review and feeding back to the board as a whole, not making any final decisions. Do I believe that for a second? No probably not. As soon as the deal went through Foley and another from the group were straight onto the board. They’ll have a say in the direction we go in next but obviously won’t be seen to make any of the final decisions themselves. As long as Benjamin Kensell and Ian Gordon are miles away from the football department I’ll be happy enough. Its shite for Montgomery and doesn’t give me much hope for many points over the next five games, 11th isn’t out the question… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not sustainable surely without it being obvious? I mean clearly they'll say one thing while doing another, but the SFA are surely monitoring the situation given dual ownership is a new thing. Then again, that'd rely on them being remotely competent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
