Honest question, as I haven't read the full letter of accusations. I understand they are very much HR related. To what extent does the responsibility fall on the president of business operations for any wrongdoing? Are the accusations specifically aimed at Heck?

You laugh, but once Kane gets a transfer to Celtic to finish his career, Hibs will win the title.

Let me spoiler the next 12 months for everyone; 1. Heck chooses the new badge 2. Heck gets sacked 3. New director wants a new badge and revisits the North Stand plans. I'll see you in 12 months!

Booohooo. Being in contention for CL, some incredible performances and results, 5 points ahead of 6th place with a far better GD. What a horrible season, end this misery now.

Absolutely, it's a good job our tactics don't depend on playing out from the back slowly to suck in opposition... Oh wait a minute

It is guesswork (many opinions are) but it's educated guesswork. I think our 3 midfielders pick themselves with the current injuries. It is an opinion based forum after all, so I just found it weird you thought an opinion that is most likely to be proven correct worth a sarcastic response! Tim might play some minutes. I doubt he starts a game in the upcoming weeks to replace Kamara. I think it's the most likely scenario.

I'm sorry, I honestly don't understand the reply ha! What is guesswork? Assuming we play highly experienced first team players for majority of games rather than an inexperienced academy product yet to make a mark in the first team? If you wish I can bet you that in absence of Kamara, our midfield will most often be Luiz, McGinn and Tielemans.

We won't be playing Tim in any significant role. We will simply start Tielemans/McGinn/Luiz midlfield for majority of the games.

If that is correct (always two sides to a story) that is the biggest sin the club have commited in my opinion,including the badge/north stand f ups.

Ramsey has been out of the game for a looong time, and objectively Diaby has been much better in creating chances, assisting, and goal scoring. With Diaby it's not even close.

Well, Man City are doing better.

My money is on Kyle Walker.

Because the media have released 4 different stories of him being drunk over the last 10 years of his career. That's a documented bender every 2.5 years. If you ask me, that's a career ending death wish.

I liked how he referenced how Poland worked with Nazis in 30s a couple of times. That is highly arguable at best. Forgot to mention how Russia made a pact with Hitler and taken half of Poland on 17th September 1939.

This has been a talking point a while back already.

Anyone listen to the interview yet? I am 30 mins in (it's available on Spotify so easy to listen to on the move). So far it's a history essay from Putin. I would give the essay a C- at the 6th form level. Lot's of info, much irrelevant, much missed out, it's a speech to pro-Putin Russians more than anything. But then, what did we expect. Let's see what the other 90 mins are like!

Naaah, they will hover around 8-6.

I might surprise you, but the seats and walls don't sing. It's the fans. And I doubt new walls can sing, unless we stick Alexa in them or something.

How different is VP to Anfield in it's development? If plop can build new stands, surely we can operate in a similar model? Quick look at the map and it looks like we have similar restrictions around the stadium.

The gov should tell them 'don't buy Antony, Maguire and Casemiro and you have covered a 3rd of the stadium'.

It is entirely feasible to stay at VP. While it might not be a brand new stadium, it would be at least half of a brand new stadium. Re-Do North Stand. Look at options of Re-doing Witton. That would bring an additional 15-20k seats on its own, and on top of that I am sure they can squeeze in great hospitality options. Trinity can be modernised to increase revenue. The concourses are vast and can be re-shuffled to sell more beer and get some more ways so fans spend money. Leave Holte End as it is, just modernise it on the inside. We could realistically have a brand new stadium for a fraction of the cost of building a new ground somewhere else. I am expecting a major Heck announcement sometime in the next 12 months. They will not leave VP as it is, it would make little financial sense long term. Unless of course Heck was brought in to maximise revenue with little spend, make the club established in European competitions, and sell it for £600-700m making the owners a nice profit.

I wonder if they go all in and present some sort of a peace treaty that was declined by Ukraine/West early in the conflict.

I'm mixed. See, I love to hear all sides. Even the wrong ones. I think an interview with Stalin or Hitler would be a great historical piece. But this is just going to be a propaganda BS hour of nothing. It is literally James Franco in "The Interview". What a funny world we live in.

Do you think Kremlin let Tucker know the questions before hand or does he find out the questions on the day?

So much to unpack here! 1. Why would he upset the ethos? That hasn't happened at villa or city. 2. No one has ever questioned his on pitch professionalism -- he is always in great shape. 3. I think the press sort of see him as old news now, but sure. Has he done anything worth attention since his first title almost 3 years ago? 4. We are also progressing without Mbappe, Rodri and Vinicius Jr. 5. What type of special treatment are you talking about? Own seat at cafeteria? 6. Have you spoken with Mcginn and know that the team would be outraged? 7. Why would we build a team around him? Is Villa's team built on one player? Personally, I'm not sure I'd want him at Villa, but so much unfounded criticism does annoy me a little.
