Wages for players are one thing. Wages for people who brought the players in and deal with their contract renewals, is another thing all together. Some may have slept at the training ground in the past, getting the place rocking and working for nothing, but they don't all do that!!! I have heard a little whisper, that we pay over the odds for some of the stationary too, particularly the brown envelopes, but two firms of accountants were sent in to make sure, that bit is now a thing of the past. Hope they come back in again soon.

It’s only fair that you post that on a Hibs forum to warn them. Perhaps a link to Rovers revisited, wouldn’t go amiss.

I’m surprised he didn’t claim he was miss heard, when he called Allardyce a crook. He used to make the pies so I said he was a cook.

I did once post that and got shot down in flames. I do think that was correct though.

I have a feeling at some point that Dack was sold in someone’s calculations and his first injury, tore up the plans. I could be wrong and obviously don’t want to make excuses for anyone and the old adage of hatched chickens comes into play.

You are probably right.

Just looks like some terrible luck that some dew on the grass and a lick of paint will sort. These fans are the new Blackburn Rovers supporters, so I have better keep my eyes on my drink. https://kick360.com.au/i-really-felt-for-the-fans-it-was-a-really-really-tough-season-steve-kean-lifts-the-lid-on-his-time-at-melbourne-victory/

Is Jim White back on the drink?

I heard about that and you do yet again have to wonder.

I honestly don’t believe the two posters you refer to, are being deliberately evasive. If anything, they are probably excited about being able to post some news, that they are hoping is a very positive step. I understand their caution about saying too much, if they have been trusted, with as yet, inside information and sincerely hope from a number of angles, that what they are being told is genuine and achievable.

I read into it the same as you and do agree about how unprofessional that appears.

Fair enough, although the FIFA thing with Blatter and Plattini seems to be going that way.

Interesting and although I can see where the three groups come from, there are people, in the third group I suspect, who still go. The nothing criminal happened at the club, can be successfully argued, as no one has ever been prosecuted. However, if someone knowingly supplied me with sub standard goods, took a huge amount more commission than they were entitled too and then went to the media, crying that it wasn’t his fault that the goods were sub standard, I would be pretty keen to sue. If said person was slippery enough to get away with it, does that mean I wasn’t wronged, or that he was just a bit cleverer than me? Add to that, the probable lying in court, about being the victim of drinks being spiked, instead of just admitting your mistakes and there you probably have two. I could use many more examples of criminal behaviour, shall we say and of course, so did certain people at Fifa, when allegedly bribery was going on. Look where next years World Cup ended up!!! With billions at stake, clever people sometimes get away with things. For what it’s worth, I am not a boycotter.

All they need now, is for King Rat to spot the next Phil Jones, brewing the tea, or loading hampers into the players cars and Bingo. https://offthepitch.com/a/interview-hibs-owner-ron-gordon-scottish-football-packs-big-punch

I would put up if I could, but I genuinely have no first hand information. The two guys involved on here know, but I think they need to be given permission, to reveal it, when the time is right. I am sure they will confirm this bit, as I am not certain.

Two posters in here, know a lot more than me, but a possible change of direction and leadership, along with involvement from people who have a bigger connection with the club.

It seems it’s from inside the club. I have heard this a few times now from different sources, one of whom I have big trust in. Fingers crossed.

I would take 5 caps any day of the week, if only I had been good enough.

I agree 100%.

I think you have been seriously miss understood there. I got what you meant.

Well here is the news. Hibs set to appoint Steve Kean to lead academy | Edinburgh News (scotsman.com)

I saw the further 9 point deduction earlier and winced for them. Just like us if the same happened, the fans will be left to pick up the pieces, of their failed owners.

I can't make my min up, if buying the STC is a good or a bad thing, to be honest. It is strange how they carry on regardless though, but surely even they must have a cut off point?

At some point, they may realise that the £20m the supposedly pump in each year, means the longer they stay, the more they pay and simply offload it, to stop the costs spiralling even more. No one needs to be a genius to understand that they have lost money on the venture come what may, so it comes down to their appetite to lose even more I guess.
