This is why Robson should have been sacked back in September when it was obvious we were underperforming under him. The fact it has been allowed to continue for a further 4 months is criminal. Keep aiming for third but helps motivation to know 4th is a bigger prize than ever before Link to comment

Quick check of the odds for this years' Cup has us and Hearts as equal 3rd favourites at 8/1. I'd say more realistically those odds should be about double that. So very much more often than not, 3rd place will get the EL spot It's happened 4 times in the last 10 years. 3 times in the 10 years prior to that. Agree it's still not great but it's not as rare as you suggest. Which makes it more frustrating that we haven't done it in that time Link to comment

(still rankles that if Wiggy had shown a bit of ambition, we could/should have won the league at least once in that period). They've now established themselves as the second force comfortably ahead of ourselves and Hearts. So I'm confident my once in ten years SC win for a non arse cheek team prediction will now hold. The cheeks do experiment a bit more in the League Cup and I think it will be won 2 or 3 times in 10 years by teams outwith them Link to comment

So essentially if they dominate the trophy for the rest of the 20s your theory is back. 1 Link to comment

Agree though, it's a sin we didn't take advantage of that situation more than we did. Link to comment

Oldco were dominant, Celtic were an absolute mess in the first half of that decade......not sure if you are old enough to remember but in 94 they came within minutes of going bust. McCann sorted them out fairly quickly but their immediate priority was to prevent oldco winning 10IAR at all costs (a situation that was reversed in fairly similar circumstances very recently) Oldco as we now know were massively financially doped. They were winning the league comfortably year after year (with one famous exception where we gave them an almighty fright) and they were doing well in what was the the European Cup. They still took the SC seriously but in the grand scheme of things, were comfortable in the knowledge that their resources would win them the league and get them into the European Cup....the cups were more a bonus to them if they won them.

slippers Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Hibs making a few big moves. No idea what like these players are but I’m sure it will cost them a bit of cash to get the guy from Germany and Bournemouth in the door. Fair play to them. Link to comment

Superficially they're definitely a cut above the loan players you'd typically see coming up here (Celtic & Sevco aside). Thankfully where Hibs really need to strengthen, they aren't. Woeful back line, even worse than ours. Link to comment
