Agreed. I suspect the real answer is that MA and LJ were jointly responsible for dumping the kittens in the canal. 

I think LJ was teaching the kittens to swim because he suspected that at some stage MA would throw them in the canal.

Then he will give a press conference explaining in great detail for about 30 minutes how he planned the whole thing outstandingly, but Macca let him down and the kittens escaped before they could be sent into the skyline.

He should have taught them how to curl into a ball and roll along, as for sure MA was gonna try and thrown them under the bus.

It was 3-2 on aggregate

Sunderland vs Lincoln ... yep, Sunderland vs Lincoln - given the histories of both clubs and modern expectations and crowd figures, I’m sure you could entertain the fact that LJ overseeing a play off defeat as boss of the mighty Mackems versus the plucky Imps could well be seen as a ‘thrashing’ - a thrashing doesn’t always need to be a 0-5, for example, it could just be a ridiculous and unlikely result against a club you are expected to beat handsomely - hence the Mackems being humbled by the Imps ...

Don’t mind admitting I’m a bit obsessed with Ashton, but mainly the financial implications his reign left us with.

Some people you don’t take to. I’ve met MA twice. My impression is that he wants to be a footballer.  He wasn’t good enough, became an administrator in football and leached a lot of money out of football in the process of trying to make himself be more important than the footballers themselves.

LJ - I met twice. Personable guy, heart in it, did some good stuff, did some crap stuff.

I don’t think MA and LJ were a good combo for each other.

I look forward to how LJ does at Hibs.

I hope Ashton does terribly at Ipswich and is finally seen through.

Bottom line is:

LJ loved the club

MA loved to milk the club

That’s exactly how I read LJ’s comment, the best pathway for the lad is to grow up around his family rather than living in digs at the age of 15/16 whichever it is. I don’t think LJ was taking swipe at the club or it’s staff in anyway

Just been reading through this,,,, if i was a hibs fan i would be getting extremely twitchy…. They dont have a lot of money im sure,,, 130000 for them to spend on an unproven 16 year old is a huge amount,,, the club is basically paying 130000 to enable the mcallister family to relocate. Now the lad might be the second coming of messi, but if hes not, that is probably all their transfer budget spent on a 16 year old youth prospect

Good point, Scottish clubs outside of the Old Firm rarely spend a penny on transfer fees these days. For Hibs this is a large outlay. Both Johnson and McAllister must be very confident that he will be knocking on the first team door within 12 months.

[ScottishRed]

Hibs are about to pull in £3m  for a lad going to Bologna, small change for McAllistair really.

Although I agree that it does smack of nepotism and young McAllister being massively over hyped by his new agency, they are a very well run club in a far better financial position than us and I can't see that 130k is going to hurt them at all, or stop them recruiting.

It will put a lot of pressure on the kid though as he'll have to try to live up to the hype drummed up out of nowhere by his agency.

Having seen some of the signings in the Scottish Premiership this season, I think some people have a very outdated view of what budgets etc are like up there.

Well you’d have to include Tinnion in that, because he’s obviously been triggered. 

It’s just nice now that the pathway is actually a thing that works in practice under Nige, rather than something that’s just talked about in an empty fashion under Johnson.

Yes definitely includes Tinnion, he seems to have misread the comment too. 

It would’ve been interesting to see how Johnson would’ve got on if he was having to use academy products at a young age as Pearson has been. Johnson can clearly spot a good player, so it might’ve suited him.

It wouldn’t surprise me if we’d ended up doing a bit better - Johnson seems to be at his worst when he has millions to throw at problems.

My view is that LJ had the option to play Academy players, but between him, MA and SL, chose to go and bring players in from outside….Marinovic, Rodri, anyone???

Players like Joe Morrell, stopped from going out on loan in January, having made a few appearances…never then made the 18.  The argument will be “well he’s at Pompei now, he obviously wasn’t good enough”.  The counter is, was Towler, was Bell, was Conway, etc, when they came in.

From memory, the only academy player that really broke through was Lloyd Kelly.

LJ had the opportunity the blood academy players, but imho, he decided to go a different route.

I think if Pearson had the money Johnson had then it’s unlikely the slightly lesser academy products ie the likes of Bell, Cundy etc would be playing.. but probable Alex Scott would be for example.

All conjecture though really - I suspect Pearson might actually be enjoying using the academy players. He’s already proven himself as a manager, so perhaps the opportunity to bring on some young talent and develop them himself appeals to him from a legacy point of view.

If you check the wage bills, outside of the Glasgow 2 , the wages are L1 at best. 8 clubs under £2m a year . Hibs 5th highest with £3m a year. Rangers was less than ours 2 years ago., and now in low £30 millions. 

They must be pushing the envelope a little more this year then, although I guess the signings are top end L1 rather than Championship.

Pretty much in agreement.

This is a good guide of how SPL compare on the pitch and finances often reflect this to a degree.

The big 2 are way out in front of the others.  My gut feel is that Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts are the next tier, but financially they are probably somewhere around the budgets of Lg1.  @BLRedpossibly over-egged them a bit when we were chatting yesterday, they are more Lg1 than the Champ / Lg1 rebounders like a Rotherham or a Wigan.

Their total staff wage bill was:

So football side around the £4m mark I reckon.

Few factors in that of course, you tell LJ he only has to finish lower mid table rather than top 6 and he probably uses more academy players rather than bringing in the likes of Rodri, Marinovic etc. Blooding them is one thing but when your job depends on you finishing in the play offs you'd be hard pressed to find many coaches who'd take untried academy players over senior players to get a result. Bar Morrell our current crop of academy players are better than those that LJ had available to him, even on Morrell though he wanted to bring him back from Lincoln to be involved Jan 2020 and got told he couldn't.

Yes a very poor result for Hibs. Although a little context, Falkirk might be third tier, but they are arguably one of the biggest clubs outside the top flight. They are full time and capable of 5,000+ attendances even in the third tier. That said, the result puts a bit of pressure on Johnson and he'll need to bounce back with a handsome win in the next group match. Elimination at this stage would be unthinkable for the club.

Agreed. My hometown team, Dunfermline Athletic, are one of Falkirks biggest, if not their biggest rivals.

DAFC, were relegated last season and despite that huge disappointment, the fans are looking forward to the ‘derby’ games. I think you will find that 5k attendances are more than a little rare, but possible a few times a year.

Falkirk recently had a meeting with supporters and admitted that they are losing £1m a year, which is unsustainable.

I have just read the fans report and he apparently played 6 "2nd stringers" in the 1st half and hooked 4 of them at half time. They were much better in the 2nd half but Falkirks goalie had a blinder.

They aren't happy obviously, but consensus seemed to be that he made the mistake of assuming that Falkirk would offer the same as last week's opponents and has learned a lesson.

There was real rivalries between all 4 Fife teams but as the years have passed that has disapated to a certain extent. Mainly due to East Fife’s and Cowdenbeaths demise down the leagues.

Was treated very badly by the club in the early 80’s and left / was fired.

This led to protest marches from the town to the ground on match days, led by the late great Stuart Adamson of Big Country and The Skids.

Yes I heard the traditional rivalry was between Dunfermline, Raith, Cowdenbeath and East Fife, but as East Fife and Cowdenbeath  have struggled to keep pace (similar to Gas )then Dunfermline have developed bigger rivalries with Raith and Falkirk who are often in their division.

Didn’t watch the interview on the BBC Football site but the headline was that he was ‘bored’ by their second half performance.

Nothing changes with Lee.

I think he needs to be careful in what he says to the media up there much more so than do here. It truly is a goldfish bowl and Hibs owner is not known for his patience. The much lauded Shaun Maloney, who remember, was assistant manager of Belgium before he joined Hibs, lasted 4 months!

Oh dear….Secretary gonna be getting a roasting!

 

[sglosbcfc]

Hibs will be definitely knocked out (it was likely they wouldn't have qualified anyway) from one of the two competitions they could realistically win this season. He better start the league season well and get them safely in the top six or the pressure will build straight away. The squad is decent so they should have got out of that cup group.

Looks like the Hibs fans are on his back already, spoke with a Hibs fan today.
