On the pitch we're not too far from where we need to be in my opinion, even though 2020 tested that view, I still think there's not as much difference as the league position suggests however off the field we are absolutely miles off where we need to be.
In terms of fanbase we should have the most influence in Scotland, traditionally it's been us and them who have had the most power, currently it's;
- them
- ….. [a country mile] ….
- Aberdeen, hibs, Kilmarnock....
- Rangers.
Even Hearts, they have a better chance of getting out of relegation than we do of not being shafted for the league.
The lack of influence we have off the pitch is absolutely frightening for a club our size. I've put Aberdeen and hibs above us because while they can't influence things themselves they at least have teams that will work in partnership with them.
I f*cking hate the idea of building bridges, the anger of what we were put through in 2012 will never leave me and I wanted to burn the whole thing down but it's not going to happen so we need to be realistic and start trying to claw back the power we used to have and if it means we have to start building relationships with teams who have stuck the boot in then so be it.
'We will not be found wanting', some laugh eh! We need to stop putting out hard-hitting statements unless we are prepared to follow up. The a/sole who put out the SPFL's statement today (MacLennan) is a prime example, we called out the conflict of interest and then never heard anything about it again. As supporters we need to be prepared to follow through on boycotts otherwise we just take the legs out for under the club when trying to exert influence.
I've posted similar to the above previously but it's now looking like it will cost us a league and we'll be helpless to stop it..
