The amount of IKEA furniture on show suggests it might be their Straiton showroom. It's not great but it's not a one room squat either. Assuming it's true of course.

Bob Loblaw Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 As much as it's Hibs some of that doesn't quite sound right. Not sure Hibs could just make up taxes etc, they'll have a proper wage department that will have to be within the law. However, it does seem like the human side of it is piss poor. Bring a young guy halfway around the world and just leave him to his own devices with no transport or people to lean on. Not a nice way to treat anyone tbh. Hope the PFA investigate it fully.

Could he be talking about fines? Clubs typically fine players for stuff like being late, so every chance he could be referencing that without really understanding it?

Homme Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Taxes could be fines eg turning up late, worst trainer etc that are in place at a lot of clubs. Usually for players that can afford to pay them mind you. Might just be lost in translation a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could even be some scummy agent has inserted clauses into his contract to rip him off. But despite that, you don't leave young guys like that on their own. You need to give them some kind of structure to succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that, but think of what he's on salary wise. He was on loan at Hibs, so won't be in receipt of anything more than his salary from the Gambian club. A salary that I'd imagine would be very modest even for Scottish Premiership standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I’d be mortified if we signed players, moved then from the other side of the world, only to tuck them in a flat on their own, making them feel isolated and left to their own devices. Thankfully, our squad appears to be really tight knit, and have got a proper team spirit about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the club has a duty of care to ensure the well being of the players, especially one who is young who they have flown thousands of miles over. It sounds a bit like Hibs got buyers remorse when he came over, so he was left feeling isolated in a new country. I hope Hearts provide some care for new players coming over to Scotland. Accommodation wise I know they have flats they rent at Slateford. And the thread talking about Claire Cowan, part of her job is to help players settle in.

liam11 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 There was some chat a while back about a lot of the longer serving staff at Hibs being let go. Suspect the truth in the Bojang allegations may fall somewhere closer to the middle, but Hibs really are a mess on and off the pitch. As we all know from Hearts’ recent history, it’s the off the pitch troubles that can really ruin you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naisys Tackle Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 That's an embarrassment for our city and out country. The 5th biggest club in our country bringing over a player on loan and leaving him alone in a dump like that? Disgusting way to treat a human being. Not just the flat but everything.
