RobNox Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 5 hours ago, Rudy T said: So they’ve went from £5m in the bank when Farmer sold to £5.75m in debt, and the Gordon’s have everything secured against ER and the farm. The cash in the bank figure is a bit misleading. The accounts are as at 30th June, so the bulk of that cash balance will be the proceeds of ST sales, which needs to see them through the following season, so that balance will drop as the season progresses.

jimbojambo Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 2 hours ago, Benzinho said: This is what I've said all along. Given we've had some absolute dross loans from Liverpool, Man U and Man City in the past, what makes Hibs fans think they're going to get anything special from Bournemouth on loan. We got James Hill on loan from them last season who was OK, but hardly a game changer. Bournemouth will be sending up academy players on loan who they've already decided aren't going to be good enough for the Premier league but they can get a wee bit more value out of them when they punt them on to a championship/League One team because they have 15-20 appearances in the Scottish Premier League. I'm sure that many of the academies down south have over a hundred signed players across the age groups and most of them statisicly won't make it so they'll be delighted to offload those who have failed to progress as hoped. Ngog, MacAllum, Pereria all spring to mind and memories of the headlines that Hearts sign a Premiership star... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His biggest achievement with them was finishing 4th, even with their apparent world beating side they had when they went through their spell of "dominating" us. That aeroplane celebration after nicking a draw with Rangers summed him up really. Way over the top, much like how highly their daft fans rated him.

When Sir Wallace of Mercer was trying to buy them, they sounded out Edinburgh Council with a view to sharing the crumbling Meadowbank stadium.

merseyjambo Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Excluding the financial side of what’s going on, if I was them and to a lesser extent Dundee I’d be worried. What you’ll get is talent like Doig moving at a young age to Bournemouth for a development fee and what they’re sending you are young players who are unlikely to make it at top level and is purely a showcase to try and earn some money from them which will go into Bournemouth coffers. Foley may be giving it rhetoric like Vlad about competing in Champions League etc. To do that would need an initial outlay of at least 100-150m plus wages. Even if someone did that, the fact that CL group stage football will not be guaranteed shortly should make them realise that Foley is paying nothing but lip service. It’s more likely be a way round FFP with no upside for Hibs. Dundee while not in the same boat, will probably lose McCown and Cameron to Burnley for a vastly underinflated fee.

karipidis Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 'At the start of the season, an opportunity arose to bring back Martin Boyle. The board decided that whilst this spending was unbudgeted and the Club would forgo the outstanding instalment transfer payments, the impact of bringing Boyle back to the team justified the cost. The club invested £2.8m in player registration, this is a significant amount of investing cash flows, and higher than the Club has spent on an annual basis historically.'
