I would say that’s the definition of green-tinted specs. You’re only highlighting the areas in which we excel and conveniently ignoring Aberdeen’s strengths.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Aberdeen are more successful in recent times, pay more, and have a large financial backing which bodes well for their future. Their crowds aren’t great at the moment but they’ve shown in the past that they are capable of drawing large crowds. He’s been at Hibs for quite a while now, and yeah I think Edinburgh is an objectively nicer city, but maybe he fancies a change.
I don’t think there’s much between the 2 if I’m being completely honest. Hope we offer him as much as we feasibly can to hold on to him though.

But would they really want to make life unnecessarily difficult for a potentially excellent value new signing who would still have the option to tell them to stuff it?

No way Dylan makes the Scotland squad the day after huns get pumped and it’s not leaked if he’s off to them as a good news story. They only care about them, nobody else.

I thought PCA's were one of those types of "not worth the paper they are written on" type of agreements that are a gentleman's agreement but little more.

While we were in the championship, yes, but can't be much in it now.

Last year Aberdeen made a profit of £533k on a turnover of £15.2m, Hibs made a loss of £277k on a turnover of £7.7m. These figures will probably be closer this year, but Aberdeen are currently able to pay substantially more than us, particularly for a key player.

Throughout the years, many players have come and gone (some "irreplacable") .... yet here we are, still alive and kicking.

The boys in the office up here believe all is not well behind the scenes. The fans have been putting round a poll that if Aberdeen go out the cup then McInness had to go.
Some openly admit the style is horrific to watch and question the signings

Agree it’s baffling. Does their shirt sponsor pay 10x the going rate?

Had a look at the accounts...
Their £15m turnover is made up of: £5m Gate Recipts, £1.5m Sponsorship/Advertising, £3m Broadcasting, £4.5m Commercial, £1m UEFA Prize Money.
I can't see a breakdown of our £7.7m turnover.
For expenses, they spend: £8m Staff Costs, £3m Cost of Sales (not sure what exactly this is but presumably falls within Other for us), £4m Other Operating expenses
Ours is: £4.5m Staff Costs, £3m Other Operating expenses
So fair to say they do pay a lot more than us, and even after our good year this year we won't be close to paying the same in the short term.
Goes to show how good a job the football staff at Hibs are doing given relative limited resources.

Aberdeen pay on average £900pw more than us . They brought on board a wealthy exiled dons fan from USA , and a couple from bridge on don . Who both put up considerable sums of cash to be invited on to the board .

That's a race to the bottom.
I'd prefer that Hibs get the opportunities to be as good as possible rather than other teams were crap.
Getting into Europe gives us an opportunity to do that, as challenging as it may be to succeed.
It may also be the convincer needed to keep some of our better players. Killie progressing would have meant that we wouldn't be certain of Europe until 4.40 on 19 May by which stage players who are currently having doubts may have made their decisions.

You'd have to think that our turnover will jump to north of £10m in the next set of accounts (1st season back in the Prem) with additional broadcasting revenue, prize money and UEFA money for Celtic's participation in the Champions League.

Leannn and Rod seem pretty astute business people , surely if just by bringing certain things in house it resulted in a huge increase in revenue they would have done so?
