I said last week I thought it would be Collum or Clancy so you could be right Clancy might be a certainty for the final .They will say that Robertson, Walsh and Beaton (their top ? refs ) have all done one but after the controversy at New Year with Collum in the VAR booth this seems a particularly incendiary appointment . They may feel that they are doing it to show that Rangers can`t dictate who refs our games and that they are in charge but they have ignored where that puts Collum himself. We (club and fans) already feel he is biased against us so any decisions against, will be questioned and on the other side if he gives us anything the narrative will be that he has gone the other way to prove he`s not .He can`t win , so its an unfair appointment on him too.
The sponsorship thing is a massive own goal , they are so desperate that they have got into bed (again) with a betting company when as you say clubs are being told to remove gambling advertisements from their shirt. Could be the shortest sponsorship deal of all time if the Scottish Govt follow this through and ban it.
The league title was there for the taking on more than one occasion over last 3 months we completely blew it when it was ours Bin Dippers fc can’t believe we handed it back to them EVERY time. In financial terms we are now over £100 million behind them ,god only knows how that will equate in years and titles . That’s down to management and players in addition to board refusing to sign a striker in January as Ive already said in another thread recently Fat lady isn’t singing just yet but she’s clearing her throat in anticipation of what is coming our way Miovski or Shankland even overpriced was a gamble we had to take but the board failed us AGAIN and in doing so have turned us into a provincial club unless they know of MASSIVE investment they’re keeping quiet about The pain of last ten years is only going to get worse if there isn’t investment coming
I think there is a simple explanation for not signing a striker in January , the transfer budget was all spent and mostly wasted in the summer .They can`t spend what they don`t have. If we do blow the title it has been an opportunity wasted due to our poor start and the handicap of a squad with too many poor and injured players. We have spurned a really good position but up to that point Clement achieved a minor miracle getting us close.
The scum have had all the CL money for the last 12 years pretty much but won`t spend it .They could have buried us in the summer or January but didn`t do it .They have a big court case to pay for soon .
I`m an optimist and I believe that Clement can do what Gerrard did only probably quicker, and while losing it this season would sting I want to see what kind of team he can put together, after all the teams with the money don`t always win the title look at Bayern.

No Surrender Ever .
Didn't Clement confirm somewhere that his transfer budget in January was 0 so we had to get creative with our additions e.g. Silva on loan, Diomande on loan with obligation to buy and Cortes with the option to buy.
The board should have never let Beale spend our whole transfer budget in one window and even with their creativeness, Hibs still managed to get a better forward on loan than Silva in Maolida. I'm not convinced we even got the best forward Wolves loaned out in January.

I was wondering if Maolida might be an option in the summer , depends what Hoffenheim want for him but if Hibs are interested it can`t be silly money .
