Could be that. Thing is, I doubt there's any real legal obligation to do so with something like that. Yes a player under contract triggering a clause like that. A player on loan? Possibly agreement, I doubt a legally binding one. I could be wrong, but I don't see it. Either way, what sticks out to me is the delicious fans forum thing RontheCon did, where he defended their recruitment by saying that wasn't the problem as they'd brought in real quality. He listed them and Rocky was gleefully near the top of that list. I'm thinking this is Ron Jr all over it, personally. The big "VR without the success or fun" comparisons come up here for me. Delusional and arrogant belief in their own soccer knowledge. Yo, perhaps Rocky storms it. Maybe he proves us aaaall wrong. But the fact is they had a guy on loan who not only was part of a team who were unbelievably pish and totally failed, but was a particularly weak cog in that machine. Then they gave him 3 years more. I just really hope he's on a decent wage. Perhaps they've used the saving on the remainder of Mueller's deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 100% sure Locky but i would imagine when the initial loan contract was drawn up it would have details of the obligation to buy if X amount of games where played. It would also most likely include a pre contact agreement if the player played the amount of games required to activate the obligation to buy. A 3 year contract on X amount per week which would have been agreed with the player and his agent prior to him moving on loan.

loveofthegame Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hibs signing policy is so scattergun, and their squad is over-inflated with dross. You hear Robbie and Joe talking about us having a squad of 24 players (give or take) for next season. Hibs currently have 26/27 players and that is before the new manager has brought in any of his own players (I imagine all of today's players were pre-identified). They then go and sign: 1) Marshall - potentially very decent goalkeeper and likely an improvement on what they had, so hard to overly criticise that one. But if being really picky, goalie wasn't a priority position for them and they now require to get rid of Macey. 2) Rainbows FC Gambian Loanee - sorry, who from where?! Be stunned if this guy turns out to be any better than Toto. 3) Bushiri - an absolute huddy who they released last week, but appear to have been forced to sign on a 3 year deal due to messing up the deal and appearances. Shambles. 4) Lewis Miller - a RB when they already have three on the books (McGinn, Clarke, Cadden). So they now have a large squad, but haven't improved the central defence, central midfield, wide midifield or attacking areas at all. They've instead added a little depth to goalkeeper and fullback where they're actually probably already ok in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
