Cannae mark this as Gregg's as I'm on a mobile but heard last night (from a Yam) that Sparky is on his way to Celtc in January in a £1m deal.
Anyone heard similar?

Hope it's no true.
The thought of him playing for those scaffs is unbearable.

Hibs should have just paid Wolves the £500k when they had the chance.!!!

If he signs for them and Wolves get all the money back that they paid for him, it means that they have played it right. If Sparky gets nearer his family and money to set himself up for life then surely he will have played it right too? As for looking back on his time with us? I suppose it depends on whether you think that we got s season and a half from a player we couldn't really afford, or whether you believe that we were ever in a place to sign him.
I'm pretty sure all the fees and wages spent on Collins vine Tudor jones etc by that clown Fenlon could have been enough to get sparky here a year ago
if I ever met Fenlon I think I would get arrested.:confused:

Wouldn't be surprised, Celtic fans suck up his arse on twitter. Would be disappointed if he went there but after a week or so he's end up just another soap dodger.

Wouldn't blame him if he went to Celtic,would be a lack of ambition if he knocked them back,playing against the top teams/players in the world,earning big money,winning lots of trophies,I for one will wish him all the best

Agree, don't like it but a move to the smelliest would be a good move for him, a'la stokes.
I personally think we got a season and a half from a great player we couldn't afford.
Like one person says above, Tudor/Collins etc, that's a different story. So us Fenlon to blame or the board who decided Fenlon was the man?

I don't blame the board for giving him a shot. It might have worked out.
but I blame them for not realising he was a dud early on and cutting their losses.
RP was listening to the media who were giving hibs stick for sacking to many managers. He should have been emptied the day after 1-5

From a yam...before a derby.. :fishin:
However if he went there where he would get more money than Hibs could give him plus be closer to come then it may make sense for him. He would also get the service to score many goals in a season. Not sure how he would deal with being an Old Firm player plus Celtic would surely wait till summer where he will be cheaper. Why buy now when they will win the league anyway!
LG is a Hibee...always will be and he will end up here again one day..wish it was sooner rather than later but he's got to make a living.

Go on then , give me a laugh. Point out what the clueless one done for Hibs.
i can only assume you didn't watch them much under him
were you at the cup finals? The Malmo game? Any of the derbies this season? Do you like the players he has left us with? Did you enjoy his attacking entertaining football?
go on , please tell me how clown isn't a fair description of the man

Isn't the very guy we're talking about a fruit of Fenlon's efforts? He didn't get a huge deal right but he sure as hell got sparky playing the best he ever has. This is something that Wolves managers haven't managed.
You're very much more of a clown acting all keyboard warrior to try and get what could be a valid point across.

We tried to do a deal for Leigh in the summer, Wolves wouldn't play ball, so we moved on to other targets.
To say that was Fenlon's fault is a nonsense, and one of the few highlights of his tenure was the player he helped Leigh become, because lest we forget, he wasn't all that great when he first joined us!

Fenlon had his faults but his management of Sparky was spot on! Far, far better managers wouldn't have handled him as well. He also would have signed him in a heartbeat if he'd had any chance. Which he didn't.

You are on a thread about Leigh Griffiths, who attributes the turnaround in his career to Fenlon. He made mistakes and was ultimately out of his depth but he also did a lot of positive things for Hibs. Better to forget them and dismiss him as a clown.

I appreciate that this is a thread about sparky, but conversations do tend drift a bit in real life also.
please point out these positive things Fenlon did for Hibs? I can't see them but hear about them now and then.

I don't blame him for the first cup final, I am blessed with the power of perspective and what he took over should never have been near a cup final that year. Second one we were turned over by a Celtic team worth 10-15 times what our team is, better Hibs teams have suffered that fate.
Malmo and the Hearts games unforgivable and what ultimately cost him his job but in reality we weren't actually that bad in his only full season in charge and a damn site better than when he took over. There is no comparison between the players we had then and the ones we have now, you simply cannot compare Mark Brown to Ben Williams, Sean O'Hanlon to Michael Nelson, Liam Craig and Kevin Thomson to Matt Thornhill and Jimmy Scott.

The two cup finals, Sparky's performances, ridding us of a lot of deadwood that calderwood signed for us, 4-0 v dunfermline for survival, 4-0 at fir park to go second, 2nd half of the Falkirk semi, beating hearts and celtic in the same month dec 2012, 2 wins 2 draws v hearts in 2012 season, getting into europe, 18 point increase from first season to second season.
I thought it was time for him to go but he was an honest man who left his family and worked very hard for us, the fact it didn't work out in the end doesn't make him a clown.

Being an entirely subjective matter you could, no right answer here I suppose. Just a bit strange that when the player credits Fenlon with the improvement you refuse to take his opinion into consideration when forming a point of view.

I just take what players say with a pinch of salt, i heard some of them say just how good Calderclown and fenlon was. they do tend to tell porkies in my opinion.

I'm not one of Fenlon's fans. We suffered two of our most worst ever results in the Hearts cup final and the Malmo game. But then again, you can see the guy gave it his best shot and held his hands up and admitted he wasn't the right man for the job and resigned. Take it this way, he left us in a much better state than what he had when he first came in from that f****** fud Calderclown.
Anyways back to the topic. If Leigh was to go to Celtic, then I understand why. Good money plus the chance to play in the Champions League, win trophies and be closer to his family.
I think the celtc support would go ape (to be fair not far to go) if LG signed for them and Neil Lemon (do you think he has a wee drink of lennon juice before interviews? His coupon is always a bit contorted) would go spare too given all the chat about needing a European standard strike force while at the same time telling the Greecey Spoon and A N Other to bolt.
Leigh became a great wee player for us; currently top Wolves charts but doesn't seem to be striking a relationship with the folks running the club.

If Celtc offer to take Sparky from Wolves for £1m I hope they tell them to bolt. They regularly blow £2-3m on players I wouldn't give a game for Hibs. How much did they blow on Pukki?

I would say he is. Sodje was an experienced pro. He knew how to use his strength. But he took some of the worst shots I've ever seen
Collins has good hold up play and excellent work rate, and I think he's going to be a important player for us. He scored 18 goals last year in a league that many say is similar to ours. Because they played to his strengths

They'll need to buy in January because they are likely to lose a couple of players for nothing in the summer and all their summer targets will be playing in the World Cup Final for Brazil and Spain.
