Rods Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 7 hours ago, colinmorewasgash said: Nick Montgomery bitten by the Hibs transfer excitement bug as Bill Foley investment sparks major ambition American billionaire's bid for a minority stake in the Easter Road club is still awaiting SFA approval and Montgomery reckons that arrangement can only boost his ultimate plan to fire Hibs back into the top three and closer to the Old Firm and can compete with the bigger budgets. Here we go again. All week all we have heard is about this clown and Hubz and what they are going to do rest of season included is this belter, How Bushiri has adapted to Montgomery's new Hibs demands.🤣🤣 I am still at a loss to how infrastructure plus shares are going to be paid for along with the buying of players. Also if I were a hibs fan I would be asking why do they need to wait on Foley's money. They got gazillions for Melkersen and the Doig money is surely coming in for them to spend now on transfers.

Der Kaiser Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'm surprised this story still has traction on here. It'll do **** all. Hibs aren't the focus of his attention and it's more about trying to circumvent FFP rules. Do they really believe a conveyor belt of wonderkids are going to be passing through Easter Road? £6mil. In modern football is there anyone thinking that amount of money will shake up the duopoly the Old Firm hold let alone magically cement them in 3rd place for the foreseeable future? Give a jakey £100k and do you think he'll be investing it wisely in a portfolio of shrewd business ideas? Hibs will keep doing Hibs things. I'll lose sleep over the length of my grass on my lawn before I worry about Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Doig money it’s been confirmed they would only receive the sell on money on the profit not the full transfer fee, so probably not the windfall they were expecting.

Yeah to be fair he is a decent player and was on the bench for them on Sunday but he has been plagued with injuries the last couple of seasons. If he is fit though, he will stroll it up here for them and make them a better side. Suspect that they will be lucky to see him on the pitch fully for 6 months though, seems to have had ankle and back issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 So this deal is done? No going back now. Sounds already like they’ll loan out what they don’t need then use Hibs money to pay part of the wage, Bournemouth can get round FFP rules and Hibs can help them pay for that.

alanbauld Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Quality of the teams in this set up means Hibs will never be top and all their best players will head south. Makes Hibs little more than a B team in the set up potentially bringing through players for teams in England who are also not near the top of their league. Agree with a previous poster and hope this never happens to Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
