Locky Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 They're quick to point out that we robbed charities etc. during our financial misguidance, yet forget the fans rallied to ensure they got what they were owed in the end. What the **** are their fans doing for those who've been left unemployed? The irony being many of those made redundant are their own. **** the lot of their ****ing shithouse, tinpot fans. Scum bags.

Ronald Villiers Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 The Sun is now reporting that Big Ron wants to stop bonus and appearance money for players. Meanwhile Hibs are looking to bin up to 70 staff, but can find the money for Nesbit and offering contracts to Wright and Gogic. Danny Galbraith Daily Record article mentions that the new signings and cash being spent won't sit well with current players. What a tin pot club they really are. I bet their players and staff are spewing. I wouldn't be surprised if the players tell Ron to ram it. I wonder if that rocket Tam McManus thinks this is ok and has had his say on twitter.

Mikey1874 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Lots of things happening at clubs that don't make sense. Dundee United spend £4 million over budget in a season to win promotion but can't afford legal fees. Then there's Hibs. I actually think you have to be able to sign players whatever else is going on. You need to refresh the squad. And Jack Ross as a fairly new manager would have been told he could sign players. But for all the so called clever pundits it's a massive scandal. I'm not looking too hard but it seems fairly quiet. Media going fairly easy on them. No dramatic language. "Hibs risking player revolt", "paying transfer fee doesn't add up" the strongest.

Ribble Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 19 hours ago, MMHearts said: I thought the Hibs players were told when they deferred their wages there would be no signings until the players were paid back all they were owed..... It was that they’d not sign anyone until existing players were back up to full wages, Their players go back to full wages at the end of the month, Nisbet etc’s contracts start on something like the 26th. Sure they have until the end of the year to repay deferred wages, possibly the end of the season if players agree. That said, it doesn’t help the sacked coaches, the sacked non football staff or the youth players that have been asked to wait it out until at least December and to not sign for anyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section Q Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 70 staff is a lot to lose...... And SunSport can also reveal that at the same time as confirmation came through that Dunfermline’s prolific striker Kevin Nisbet is being bought for a six-figure fee there are shock plans to make up to 70 employees redundant throughout the club set-up.

HMFC01 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hibs got a mention on offtheball today about spending money on Nisbet. It wasn't nearly as controversial sounding when they talked about James Anderson donating money. Albeit cowan objected slightly they didn't lose their shit over it. No mention of players objecting about it or having sympathy for the staff that got chucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Laff Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 For some reason I wasn’t allowed to reply @John Findlay I don’t think we’ve let any staff go, hopefully not anyway. I don’t see what your point is when I haven’t said otherwise? We gave players redundancy ultimatums back in April to reduce wages for the good of the club. I see no issue with that nor offering compensation for a manager or paying big wages to Craig Gordon even if they are still on reduced wages either. I’m not going to be a hypocrite though.

Yeah I get that. But: are they paying all their players full wages? I believe the answer is‘not. Therefore they should not even be allowed to sign new players until they do.

It’s strange and something doesn’t add up. It's the worst possible strategy. Completely short term. All that will happen is Hibs are paying lots of money in the short term for a first team that can't even play in front of fans in a league that will basically be a bit of a lottery behind the top 3 places, but will likely see the very rich clubs stretch away at the top even more. In a year or so they will then have to find even more more money to rehire staff, restart the academy and catch with other clubs who kept theirs going, and pay for more signings due to the lack of youth coming through. Basically they'll face having to spend huge money just to rebuild what they had previously. I hate to say it but Motherwell are probably the best run club right now. Bringing through young players and making mostly decent signings and still living sustainably. A good bet for 3rd or 4th next season probably. They are where we were before Neilson left.
