Lawwell out

BhoyWunda is right unfortunately. Professional football is all about money these days. I don't understand how anyone can think otherwise. The vast majority of our squad are earning anything from 1k to 30k per week. To them it's a job. It's been like that for a long time.

As I said before it doesn't justify fans being taken advantage of & it isn't something I'm comfortable with but it's something I accept because it's the plain truth. If Lawwell didn't run it like a viable business we'd end up like a certain deceased club...

There definitely are gems but in general you only find a player of Dembele's calibre every few years at best. You find player's of Larsson's calibre once in a lifetime...or maybe never again.

The board have definitely made mistakes but at the same time we reportedly have a hefty enough wage bill & a lot of fans don't take into account.

"There definitely are gems but in general you only find a player of Dembele's calibre every few years at best. You find player's of Larsson's calibre once in a lifetime...or maybe never again."

I would include Tierney, Brown, Forrest, McGregor and wee Griff in the gem count as alongside bargains we found with the likes of Henrik etc, you have defo won a watch when you have loyalty and commitment for with it you have the makings of a TEAM.

That's a matter of opinion. I wouldn't put Brown, Forrest, McGregor or Griff in the same class as Dembele nevermind Larsson. Good players yes but not the same level for me.

And i never mentioned class either, i gave you a different perspective, loyalty is slowly going out of fashion as the buck becomes more tempting. i would enjoy these guys you have made it known their desire to be here when they could have left for more money. Just a different type of find when looking for stability. HH BC

You're right about the loyalty that's true. Although I wouldn't bank on McGregor or even Tierney staying their entire careers with us. I hope I'm wrong. But any of those players you mentioned would work harder for us as a team compared to the likes of Dembele that's true ??

Aye I agree the board should spend a little more than they have for definite. I know they feel they have to be careful given how UEFA only want the big countries to make the big money & given the demise of that other lot from Govan...but still they should have forked out the extra cash for the likes of McGinn!

You're 100% right mate but to be fair all professional football is a business these days. It's not something I'm comfortable with but there's no other way to compete unless the club treat it like a business. That said they shouldn't take fans for granted either.

The Wine Alley for the folks who don't know was called that because it was rhyming slang - it was full of wine grapes (papes) Nice eh? ?
