Afternoon ED007 will there be a pre match press conference today or tomorrow?
{Ed007's Note - I'm sure it's today but not 100%.}
05 Mar 2021 12:54:58
Cheers ED there could be some suggestions that celtic player should maybe throw the game on Sunday but am one for winning and beating them on home ground build up for winning the sc to get something out this season.
{Ed007's Note - We will be going out to win every game.}

Make them Earn it as they have had everything bounce for them this season.
05 Mar 2021 14:05:46
Ed that's sly started the sevco can win the league this weekend. tbey can but they are loving it.
{Ed007's Note - Here's a question for you I was asked earlier on, what do you think was the bigger upset, Leicester winning the league or them doing it this year?}
05 Mar 2021 14:42:54
Ed Leicester winning the league was a bigger upset. They needed all the big boys to fail ie. Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal etc. They just needed us to fail this season which statistically had the greater potential to happen however unlikely. We didn’t let them down.

got to be Leicester ed with the spending power other clubs have down there. sevco have spent over 90 million pound since they were formed and spending that in Scottish football and to not have won a trophy by now is a bit embarrassing.
05 Mar 2021 14:50:23
Leicester a lot of us seen this coming wasnt too big an upset! Some folk were sleeping instead of see what the challenge was. We were in decline under lennon for too long.
05 Mar 2021 15:45:39
A would say Leicester to but they got a wee bit lucky in the fact the big 4 were all kind of in transition. but celtic and Liverpool failing is a major shock as they were so dominant. but hey ho let's sort it.
{Ed007's Note - I went for Leicester as well because they had to beat a lot more top teams.}
05 Mar 2021 16:03:21
Ed exactly 👠I dropped you an email.
{Ed007's Note - OK mate, I'll reply later on as I'm just going to get ready to go for my first vaccine jab. 😱
05 Mar 2021 16:07:21
Ed drink plenty water before and after I got mine on Tuesday. Head still bursting. All the best it’s a doddle! ðŸ‘.
{Ed007's Note - Cheers mate ðŸ‘

UI, is that correct they have spent 90million? They have sold players for very little, so that is some net spend. If we were in their position there would be no way our board would sanction that, in fact if the shoe was on the other foot, I’d presume they would have pushed away from us further and prob got to ten .
This just doing enough to win the league has cost us massively. What will be interesting now though is how the deficit is to be paid back, are they still gambling that they get to the champions league and the big pay day that comes with it.
05 Mar 2021 18:33:04
Really hope they get knocked out in qualifying for champions league that would put the cat amongst the pigeons.

We all hope they fail, but I bet they tool up for it, knowing getting there pays for upgrading. something we never do. If they do and we again make our usual utter arse of it, we are facing a complete flip and that's all down to never being prepared and buying too many punts and even when we soend n8ney, our recruitment team bring in far too many duds. I certainly how thst whole department get shown the door too.
{Ed007's Note - The recruitment team never brought in anyone, they just found players and recommended the likes of Colley and Toney only for Lawwell to walk away from signing them.}
07 Mar 2021 05:39:53
Ed it’s easy to use those two as examples mate but they also must take responsibility for recommending players like bayo, shved, ajeti, laxalt, etc. That lot should not be near our shopping list.
{Ed007's Note - Weren't Bayo & Shved signed under Rodgers tenure so it would have been Congerton that came up with them - and we all know how Rodgers felt about the Shved signing so who decided on that one?
I don't think Ajeti would be seen as a failure if he had done a full preseason or if he was set a personal fitness program to get him up to speed, he's never looked fit and that's something I have never seen or heard about him.
Laxalt was probably only on any of our lists because he was an available LB and the loan part caught Lawwell's eye.
We also dropped the ball over Mark McKenzie and dithered over a move for Brenden Aaronson although that would have been unlikely to happen he would still have listened to our offer.}

Without a shadow of a doubt Leicester winning the league i'd say.
The odds on Leicester winning compared to the rotten mod reflects that.
There was also a strong chance of the team regressing under Lennon too and if you take one horse out a two horse race there's only going to be one outcome and we were running on 3 legs at best this season.
