Fontaine, new dude and Scott Allan contract extension?? That would make a great start to the weekend.

Edit- Boyle. Just seen your post on other thread.

Assuming this would mean Allan extension, Fontaine and a new signing...what a Carlsberg Friday that would be....and top off a grand week

Would be surprised if there is any announcement today on anything Hibs related, given the fact Scotland are playing at ER tonight and the press will be full of that rubbish.

Any news, if any, will more likely come early next week to maximize publicity.

Surely, from Hib's point of view, the earlier any good news about signings and extensions is released the bigger the impact on STs sales. There are only a few days left to renew existing STs so any "good news" announcements would help shift a good few.

With Hibs pushing for season ticket renewals and only having 4 days to guarantee your seat, maybe an announcement today would be about right to get folks to sign up.

Agreed. I would suggest we will see an announcement or 2 today.

[scotia44]

with Head Coach Alan Stubbs kean to strengthen early to help with preparations for the new season.

Seems as though the website isn't proof read or is it a clue

[calumhibee1]

Do people really expect Allan to sign an extension? I hope he stays this year but I doubt he'll be comitting to longer this summer.

If he feels Hibs and Stubbs have given him this opportunity to get his career back on track, then by extending for another year only guarantees Hibs will get decent money for him, win win for both.

I dont know if he will or not, but signing a new deal would just be to make sure we get a decent fee for him. When a player wants to go these days the contract doesnt seem to mean a huge amount!

[Hibs History]

Similar to Scott Brown

He signs a new deal that gives him improved terms along with the promise from Hibs that we won't stand in his way if a good money offer comes in

Win/win

Scott Allan is a good lad who appreciates the opportunity given to him by Hibs - he'll do the right thing

What if he gets a career ending injury next season? There are lots of reasons a player might want to lengthen his deal and security is one of them.

If that was a true reflection of history, Scott Brown wouldn't have been pulling transfer requests from his sock after a game.

Well known fact that Brown and Collins didn't get along and 4.5m was more than anyone expected to get for him, he wanted to go and we were happy to take the money, remember Scotty and Thomson had just recently signed a long term deal before going back asking for more money.

IIRC GOC signed an extension so as Hibs could get a good deal for him, he only had 6 months left and because of the interest from Russia he signed an extra year so we made a few bob from him.

Did they not change agents and the new one had them straight back in asking for more money?

If I remember rightly JC told interested parties that Brown and Thompson were worth £squillions and their agent then said if they are worth that much then they should be getting paid accordingly and that's what kicked it all off.

Yep think so, I seem to remember Petrie saying something like these guys are £2m footballers and the agent saying well if that is the case pay them wages a £2m footballer would earn.

They dropped Scott Fisher shortly after agreeing New deals in March and hooked up with Mr Honesty himself Willie MacKay.

Leaving it a bit late Hibs. C'mon it's difficult enough to work on a Friday afternoon!

Is there really going to be news on Allan if he is away for the weekend?
