martoon Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 On 17/06/2020 at 11:25, fancy a brew said: The difference between Hibs situation compared to us and Aberdeen, is we seem to have people prepared to put money in to see us through the crisis. Teams like St Johnstone, Hamilton, St Mirren etc, have much lower wage bills and the furlough scheme will have covered a higher percentage of their outgoings. Ron Gordon's plan was to take 500k a year out of Hibs like Farmer was doing, I can't see him indulging in any charity work down Lochend way anytime soon, and they'll just have to cut their cloth accordingly. Of course Leanne will now have to reduce the budget because they voted themselves down a place, and they voted to pay millions of pounds back to broadcasters by finishing the season early. Then there's the potential liability arising from the court case... Karma really is a bitch. And as John Lennon suggested, instant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilberts Fridge Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Even if Villa were to try and sell him, the world is a different place to what it was 3 months ago and there will be a re alignment of player values. Less clubs in for any given player, player may be less inclined as wage deals will not be as good and player values will plummet. Didn't Liverpool pull out of a deal for Timo Werner as they could not justify to the current squad paying £50m for a new player whilst negotiating reduced salaries.

The proceeds might well go into the back pocket of Ron or be returned to some holding company outfit he's tied up with. Not even 50p going to hibs.
