    Lennon has consistently done in too...hes only in his second season ffs...so did TM...but that failed...

    strachan reduced the wage bill....team costs reduced under his stewardship. Fact.

    Did TM not spend money???

    They have spent much more than us so far. They've spent around £4million, compared to our £800,000. And they won the league, while we lost it.

    And okay you say the transfer window hasn't closed yet, and then talk about how they "trailed" us prior to the St.Johnstone game. That was after 3 games...I would not say Arsenal are "trailing" Wolves at the minute, there's such a long, long way to go. To say they were "trailing" us is ridiculous.

    There were a lot of people concerned about his appt. He wasnt a first choice.

    The board also decided to put him and his staff on a long contract which we then had to pay off.

    Why did the board do this when it only ever gave MON, WGS and NL a rolling contract?

    That mistake cost us.

    well why the panic after st johnstone then...???

    They have taken money in from Bougherra and got money from Adam transfer. They have spent very very little....if you look at the facts again mate :50:

    Yeah cost us but they took the decision and made it when the fans demanded his removal too. A new board would still have to shoulder that burden

    So that money they've spent doesn't really count as spending then? Okay:

    You just said Lennon has "consistently spent money". We sold McGeady for over £9million, and pretty much spent exactly that. By your logic then, we didn't really spend money.

    Check the facts, mate :50:

    Yeah, they demanded TMs removal but PL and co are still there. No sign of them falling on their sword is there.

    Forgot, we have reduced our debt. No title, but no debt. Fantastic.

    And tonight of course. That was good as well.

    Absolutely...but then i didnt say we had spent more than that....i said desmond has consistently ploughed millions into the club...and he has...

    They have brought a few average players in....which is evident tonight.

    They are also the guys that have presided over titles for us...we dont just shoot folk who have done well for us when it goes wrong...we give them chance to see it through.

    We do have debt and it is due to rise again...that was half year....and will invest more like they said.

    We are well capable of winning the title this season.

    No, this is your exact quote, when I said Strachan consistently spent money.

    And then you bawked at the idea that the huns have spent money because they brought some in by selling. They have brought in mediocre players, but get your story straight, comments like that show that you're contradicting yourself.

    I think you messed up your quotes there mate

    Strachan did spend money...but he got rid of plenty too balancing that...most of our big earners actually...our "quality"....he done well by doing it and winning the league....thankfilly at that time PLG was around for a while too lol

    Last title was 4 seasons ago mate. No manager would get that long at the club without getting the axe. Lennons head is on the line after one season. You have been critical of him yourself. Do you think Neil will get 3 seasons?

    They have done well to reduce the debt, by not investing in the quality that we need. They have been complicit in us being unable to retain the title over the last 3 seasons by mistakes at boardroom level. Those mistakes have not only cost us the league but the opportunity to get further income throught the CL.

    No but the board are not the manager. Same at every club. Who changes the board every other year? The manager gets supported with money and either wins or loses. He should have won last year...board gave him it on a plate.

    this is the 4th season...we will win it this season...im confident

    Well, we are not going to agree on how it will be done, but I hope your right.
