Ex member of the SaS Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Ok maybe way off the mark here but it appears HSL are donating money to pay for players the club can't afford, I thought it was against the rules for outsiders to put money up for players? FoH gives money to the club to use as the clubs sees fit, but HSL are giving the money specifically to fund players. If I have this wrong I appologise and the post can be removed or left to die.

lost in space Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 The money will be going into an account. From that account (or another) - money will go to players. That does not mean it is the same money. Money donated will not be going directly to players banks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think it’s against any rules. If you look at the actual figures involved anyway, it’s not going to be funding very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 If they're giving Hibs money then surely they can attach conditions. No different to our benefactors, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Don’t see how it’s wrong ? We’ve publicly said we’ve signed players because of benefactors donations so fair enough. its not exactly a mind blowing amount so I’m not too bothered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveins Battalion Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 To be fair we should be using our considerable amounts of cash put in by both the FOH and our benefactors to sign the best young players from other clubs in Scotland. Instead we have gave Damour a 4 year deal on huge Wonga a week.Signed a cast of thousands from abroad and made feck all from sales.Who's the dafty's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list is endless on failed players the last 4 years.Now i dont know the reason,no bonus in the wages?no motivation from the manager?everybody too cosy and comfy? Whatever it was/is needs sorted pronto,however if the HSL want to gift the club cash to sign players then I say good on them.I wish we did the same and got value for the vast amounts we have gave this club for instead of the utter shite we have endured.

We’ve had a pretty chequered four years of signings, that much is certainly true. Some pretty good players mixed in with some poor ones. Some of the flops have been unexpected and looked like good signings on paper too though. I think that indicates something else at play. The wage structure probably, as you say. Coaching? Players being treated differently to one another? All sorts of factors probably. Frustrating as **** though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still good to have a laugh at Hibs and their huge fund raising exploits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSL is a joke and will donate about three quid. But fwiw, “use as the club sees fit” and “specifically to fund players” is the same thing.

Ainsley Harriott Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I heard they are using the money to buy some Persil for when the new signings have to take their own stinking kit home and wash it themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Nisbet has a bonus clause in his contract for how many strips he can wash. Great thinking from Ron the con 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
