The fact there are so many candidates tells you plenty about the state of our squad!

I make it one poster who it could possibly be suggested has ‘demanded’ any players be moved on. Even that’s a stretch. ‘All’ is a total exaggeration.

“He needs moving on” isn’t exactly me saying he should be moved on no matter what !
Look, if we’re able to move other players out and keep him then fine. If we manage to downscale elsewhere which means we can keep him, then also fine. Roberts is a massive talent so if we can somehow financially limp home until the end of the season with him on board and he’s a big help in promotion, even better.
I just think 10k a month for a club where we’re at is ridiculous. That kind of wage is league two kind of money. I’m by no means saying it’s the players fault as he’s been paid what was agreed but it’s still beyond excessive for where we are.
Chapman must be moved on as he’s nowhere near Fitzsimons in ability and he needs games. I suspect he’ll be on fair bit as well. Now that is one player where I would kind of demand he’s moved on as it makes perfect sense for both parties.
Roberts less so because when Smith goes back he can fill the gap. Hearts will receive offers with the form he’s shown here so can’t see him sticking around. The fee Hilton agreed to make it permanent we certainly won’t be able to pay.

It’s almost like Hilton offered high wages deliberately to saddle the club with debt so it would eventually fold and then get the ground/land used for development…..who’d have thought Swann could’ve played the hero villain! It’s like Vader picking up the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. All this drama – if only we knew of a director who could monetize this into a Hollywood blockbuster.

For ‘inflated’ read ‘suicidal’. As for agents not doing their homework; if they had, the players may not have trusted their judgement. Bit like the majority of supporters attitudes to fellow supporters that rightly held concerns based on evidence and history of Hilton.

That headline should have been “both keepers have their arms broken”. Never seen a bigger thug on the pitch than Smith.
I’ve seen a few on par and one way worse. Lee Hughes at Notts County and Lee Thorpe ex Lincoln used to get away with all sorts.
Worst of all times for me was/is Sam Aiston left winger for Shrewsbury when he steamed into Gareth Sheldon, no intention to play the ball and jumped off the floor two footing him snapping his leg in two. This tackle if committed today would get a lengthy ban, no doubt the worst I’ve ever seen live or on tv.
The ref had clear view very much seeing the severity of it with the screams being heard from Sheldon all around the ground
only gave Aiston a yellow card.Following season he nearly broke his leg again with another needless lunge. Matt Smith had nothing on him.
Ben Chapman finishing Peter Morrison’s career too, his own career Went downhill after too.
