Who is staying and going in the summer from the current squad...

[MontrealHibs]

Who will all be here next season?

Stevenson, O'Hanlon, Sproule, Kujabi and Claros, Hanlon, Wotherspoon, Doyle, Osbourne ... Who else has a contract?

Doyle, (i think he'll be a good player for us BTW) Four of the young guys have just been given new deals as well but they're still going to be playing in the new U20 league.

Slightly off topic but i saw on facebook the other day Stack has put together a video of his best bits at hibs, looked to me like it was his video CV (i'm sure there's a better word for it than that) looked like the sort of video that'll probably be getting sent round the clubs by his agent, i'm not expecting him to be here next year.

I wouldn't expect so either with Stack, great guy but too many injuries. I'd like to see us resign Mark Brown and bring in another keeper to challenge.

I was at the players meal on sunday there and spoke to a few of the players and Stack definitely wants to stay , once we know what league we're in next year is when contracts will be discussed . Lewis's wasn't a new contract he had earned an extra year through playing x amount of games or something .

I'm sure Stack wants to stay but i don't think he will.

The wages we'll be offering now will be a lot less than when he got his original contract with us so i think he'd likely have to take a big drop in wages so i imagine he'll go back down south.

With whats likely to be a reduced budget i think we'll go back to having one senior keeper and a relative youngster as back up, not the under 19 keeper but certainly not two 30 something keepers like we've got just now.

[Kris1875]

To be fair I think he knows that but from what I could gather he turned down a lot more to come to us he just wants a longer deal .

'Graham Stack is a professional Goalkeeper with a wealth of experience.

An Arsenal youth product progressing to a key member of the first team squad and played a part in the 2003/04 season when they went unbeaten and claimed the "Invincible" status.

He has since gone on to play for a number of big clubs, including: Millwall, Reading, Leeds Utd, Wolves, Blackpool and Hibernian.

Experience of the English Premiership, Championship, Scottish Premier and Belgian Leagues as well as playing in both the UEFA Cup and Europa League.

Although born in London, Graham has also been recognised at International level and achieved 7 Under 21 Caps for the Republic of Ireland.

Most recently Graham has helped guide his current side Hibernian to their first Scottish Cup Final since 2001.'

That to me reads like Stack is likely to be leaving.

This will be Stacks last season at Hibs.

If we've sold more STs for next year than we have for a while, I don't see how the wages or budget are likely to reduce tbh. We've lost a wad of money from having to pay off players not up to the job and recruit replacements. It's not the current wages that are the problem, it's the way we recruit players.

How very, very true, Beefster. :agree:

:agree: Season ticket sales WILL be up on the last few season ticket sales. Every penny taken in from those sales goes on players wages.

Even if we increase them for next year it'll still likely be smaller crowds than when he signed his current contract, i think that was about 2 or 3 years ago and then we were getting crowds upwards of 10k every week.

I completely agree with your last sentance, i hope my post didn't come across as a dig at the board.

I thought it was an extension for one year he signed last summer?

did he?

in that case i'm talking pish

[--------]

IIRC at one stage Pat F was quoted as saying that he was talking to some of the loanees about permanent deals for next season?

Of course, if we were so stupid as to go and win on the 19th, we might very well price ourselves out of the market for any of them - Scottish Cup winners and all that?

I'd take that http://1.2.3.10/bmi/www.hibs.net/images/smilies/winky.gif

The only loanees i think we've got a realistic chance of getting and would want to keep is McPake and Griffiths although there's still huge question marks over his temprament so if PF decides to look else where i could understand why.

Those would both be terrific signings. I'd love to see them both stay on - McPake's the obvious choice for captain and Griffiths finally appears to be rsponding to Fenlon's influence. (Just hope that's not a case of famous last words...)

Wolves will want Doherty back; Norwich will want Francomb; Soares would I think be replaceable. Huge question over Garry O's court appearances, though depending on how things work out he MIGHT still be available - fines and community service in the local area with RP as court-appointed responsible adult in charge? :greengrin

Tam McCourt, then? :devil:

[007 Mickey Weir]

The bonus this year is ST have been bought and paid for before the summer starts. This will hopefully give us the edge against other SPL sides. Get the players in early.

McPake, Griffiths, Hayes, Swanston all given 2yr deals

GOC 1 yr extension.

[DH1875]

Mark Brown has and will show his worth between now and the cup final. Would like to see him stay :agree:.

[R'Albin]

Gutted that Stacky is leaving although it's understandable. By the way that video was at the end of last season.

Out of the regular first team squad, that I could see us realisticly keeping and that I would like to see us keep..

Brown
Hanlon
McPake
Booth
Ozzy
Stevenson
Claros
O'Connor
Griffiths

Aside from youngsters there is nobody else I am that fussed for.

[eebsie]

Wotherspoon?

[JohnStephens91]

The Stack video is from about 1 week ago, it features him playing in the semi-final and a few of his saves in the last league Edinburgh derby at the pink bus shelter.

Oh cool he's released another, I'll give that a watch :aok:

Good as he has been at fault for an awful lot of goals this season

[iain nolan]

I think billy brown will join up with JJ at dufermline as JJ as not changed the coaching staff so far .
if this happens PF new ast manager should be scottish with spl experance. who would you pick.:flag:
