[Thecat23]

Could well be, I've honestly no idea when or what the reasons would be.

Just he'd be here this week. Either way I'm happy to wait till fri if that's the case!

No it was the wording having a dig at us because we're classing it as an emergency loan, they couldn't help having wee snidey remarks.

Semantics, my @rse. Any opportunity for a negative spin re. HFC, and they are hovering like bluebottles round a pot of *****. The same guys who found it difficult to dish the dirt about the Jambo fiasco and theft.

[hibee-boys]

Why would Leigh want to swap the bench at Celtic Park for the one at Easter Road, I mean who could we possibly leave out to give him a starting spot!;-)

I'll not hold my breathe on this one, would wet my breeks if it did happen, but probably just another false dawn!:(

I was questioning why somebody would bother to put on here a statement from someone that even they themselves consider an unreliable source, when people are desperate to hear actual news.

Surely if the source is that unreliable, then it would be better to keep schtum and don't get people's hopes up unnecessarily.

Anybody being released now wouldnt be able to play again until Jan. I cant see anybody doing that without a handsome payoff. Which would kind of defeat the purpose of the exercise.

To be honest 'struggling' seems a fairly mild adjective. I would have thought we would have got the 'crisis club' treatment.

I also think whoever dreamt up the term 'emergency loan' for this kind of deal is really stretching the meaning of 'emergency' beyond any meaningful sense I understand it to mean.

[East Coast Hibe]

My info (for what it's worth), is that Hibs have backtracked on what they originally offered to pay towards Griffiths wages (which was almost all, if not all of it). I don't know if Hibs had people lined up to pay a chunk towards the cost, but as I understand it - that's the situation as it stands tonight. If Hibs pay what was agreed - it's a goer. If not - it's dead!

This is on the main board so the club can easily log in and read this or indeed read as a guest, i hope they do as they will see the frustration and anger aimed at hibs backtracking on pay (if this is true). Leeann if you're reading this or anyone from the hibs board are reading this then get it done. High league place finish if he signs, low league place finish if he doesn't. No brainer here!

While this may not be an entirely fair comment, as leaks can come from many sources, this sums up what is wrong with Hibs. Do the business quietly, don't float ideas- just do them. We look pathetic grovelling over a 90 day loan which may, or may not come off. While I do hope it happens it is simply papering over cracks as Leigh is most unlikely, if he even comes, to be more than a very short stop-gap. If he does well he will be back at Parkhead, or sold, if he bombs we just might get to keep him. Less talk, more action.

:agree: If you think about the hundreds of thousands of £s Hibs have pissed down the toilet on players they thought would be ok but turned out to be crap ......

LG is guaranteed to score goals for us in this league, might save Stubbs his job, save LD a heap of grief at the AGM, stop the slide and start the long process of building bridges between team & fans. If money is the problem, then LD, Petrie and Hibs just "don't get it" !

[Hibeesmad]

Just saw Stubbs interview for tomorrow's game on Hibs TV where he was asked about Griffiths, kind of hinted towards a move having been made and he did confirm that we enquiried about Leigh in August

[snooky]

I suggest the team should individually travel to the games on match day on separate supporter buses.
If that doesn't get them going then the thought of having to travel with the fans on the long tip home might.
(Great idea, Leigh :greengrin)

[hibee92]

Don't know if anyone saw Stubbs on SSN, basically just saying there's nothing happening and there's nothing from our end. Doesn't really add up to what Delia's said :confused:

[Heisenberg]

I thought today was the day? Another pish rumour it seems . I'm guessing we'll hear the next one after the tims cup match when he's not in the team again.

I thought today was the day? Another pish rumour it seems . I'm guessing we'll hear the next one after the tims cup match when he's not in the team again.

To be fair the main ITK guys ( scoops, the cat ) never once said today, they've only ever said sometime this week.

[Hibeesmad]

I don't really see the rush tbh, even if he joined today I'm sure Stubbs would already have his team organised for tomorrow so griffiths wouldn't have taken any part in that. And as someone said earlier if we wait until say Friday then he will be available for Sevco just after Christmas so hopefully we see some progression over the next few days. If he doesn't take any part in the game Wednesday for Celtic I will be more confident about him coming

He's without a club though so I'd guess whatever we offer it would be more than what he's getting the now. Does beg the question though, why's he without a club?

If this isn't done by Wednesday then he's a cert to start-and score-against Hearts. Will be like the Dundee game all over again.
If its stalling because of wages then I would guess that it's because we've signed Malonga since we were last in for him

Hibs have pissed me off an infinite amount in the last few years, however if we lose out on Leigh over a couple of grand per week-when he would only be signing for 12 ****ing weeks-then that would really be a whole new low. GET IT DONE HIBS!!!

[J-C]

Is it just fans conjecture or do you think the question was asked?

Personally think it's fans conjecture but it begs the question if there's a very good defender there and free to sign why have we not approached him and offered him training facilities at least.

if the injury was to Oxley then I can understand an emergency loan but Hibs have 6 other "strikers" currently on the books.

As we've covered at length the term "Emergency Loan" is only what it's called in the rules. We have 4 loan signings but loans that require international clearance don't count towards the total so we've only got 1.

The only difference between this and a regular loan is that it would be limited to 93 days.

Hence why Griffiths not signing today makes sense as it would be a waste of a day. If we wait until Friday we'd have him until the game against Rangers. We could then sign or reloan him in January.

The consensual wisdom seems to be its a loop hole that we could exploit and a deal could be done if both parties really wanted it to happen If we loose the next two games and Leigh isn't signed the Board run the risk of Alienating fans even further and didn't think this was humanly possible
Stubbs said he was keen to do a deal for Toshney but that hasn't materialised so maybe that has gone off table so that money could be used to pay sparkys wages.

If there is a supposed loop hole then what is to stop other teams exploiting it? On the opposite tack I can see opposition to it from those teams in the Championship looking for a play-off place.

Still if it comes off then good.

Other teams are exploiting it. Cowdenbeath had a player against us last Saturday they had only signed less than 24 hours previously using exactly this rule.

[wookie70]

Much as I would love to see Sparky return I fail to see why we would be allowed to sign outside the transfer window. Not being able to score may be an emergency to Hibs fans but isn't what the rule intends.

For the last coupe of years we have been happy occupying the moral high ground ripping into Heart and The Rangers when they were involved with dodgy signing deals. I would rather we manned up and didn't break the rules. Our integrity is about all we have left to hold on to.

There's no rules being broken. It's not dodgy either. It's a perfectly legitimate means of loaning a player. It's just that the rules are different in the lower leagues.

[Gus Fring]

We figured out days ago that this was acceptable and well within the rules.

Sickback then spends much of today arguing that this is cheating/against the rules.

We get an influx of people questioning the legitimacy of the loan.

Coincidence?

One of them over there even said Cowdenbeath would question the transfer. Stunning ignorance.

Keep correcting them Gus, can't let this one fizzle out through lack of belief by our own support. Club has to see this one through as it will reignite the fans and quite possibly bring confidence to the players too.

I'm sorry but this is hardly the same as trying to do a deal for Leigh Griffiths. Griffiths is not the best striker in the world but, as a player, he is in a different league (literally and metaphorically)compared to Toshney.

On SSN about 30 mins ago. Interview wi Stubbs. 100% true Hfc trying to get LG back. It is CFC that are holding back for whatever reason.

[Gerard]

Celtic do not play Sparky and Hibs need him badly. If we get him he will probably score a lot of goals and then he might get a game for Celtic. I can not see why they would not agree to this EL. I hope that Sparky is able to get a game for Hibs and soon.:wink:

It's an emergency loan a striker is out so we can bring in one on loan but only for 3 months.

Here's a novel idea for all ye Sparky fund dudes - put the contribution to Leith Links.

For all the inches written on this folks (excuse my French) miss the blummin obviouss... There could be Sparky collection fund sign here in a big neon sign at every home game it would make no difference. Folks have voted with ther feet and cash. Even if he does sign wil we really see a significant rise in gates ? I'm a battered happy clapper and just can't see it I'm afraid.

I'm really fed up with all this will he, won't he stuff. Although I've not always supported petries way of keeping a tight grip on the purse strings, I have understood his reasoning- look at what has happened to clubs who haven't. But if there is one time hibs have to just take that big risk it is now- if it transpires we don't get lg because we weren't prepared to take a risk and pay his wages then for me there may be no going back for hibs. For me it's now or never, without lg I really think we will toil in this league- we just don't have the backbone to grind out results. Get him in now, take advantage of the bounce it will give us and then really start to rebuild for next season.

Ok it's an embarrassment what has happened to us on the park. But I do take some, albeit small, comfort that we have done things above board. I know a person, who knows a person, who knows a person etc, who's business went bust due to partly the fact that rangers hadn't paid them what was due - and at the same time they were paying £10k a week for players to play in the lower divisions. If we would prefer hibs to be like that then sorry it's not for me. It's galling to see clubs who have been in admin above us (rangers, hearts, dundee,Motherwell, any others?) but for me the sun always shines on the side of the righteous - it's just a bit cloudy just now - it will eventually clear.

Good post. Although it is not as black and white as either running a club the way The Rangers are run, or running a club the way Hibs have been run. There is a lot of middle ground.

[Salisbury Hibby]

This is only my opinion:

1. Celtic want rid of Griffiths.
2. If he stayed, they won't play him.
3. Griffiths will be unhappy, lose match fitness, possibly cause disruption.

Celtic and Hibs both want him to move here. Both sides know that they have something to gain from the move and something to lose if it doesn't happen. We are spectators at a high stakes poker match. Hibs are in no rush and quite rightly so. There is no deadline for this to happen.

My post was implying that people using words like "Dodgy" "Loophole" "breaking the rules" etc are perhaps not Hibs fans. A Hibs fan would not jump to these conclusions about his or her team.

I've no problem with the people asking questions if they haven't read the thread. I've answered them a few times myself (Even though they can find out themselves)

People making inaccurate assumptions is different though. Because IMO those who have read this thread (or asked) will come to the conclusion there is nothing untoward about this deal at all. But those that have read the equivalent thread on Kickback would come to that conclusion.

[H18Y GW]

Much as I would love to see Sparky return I fail to see why we would be allowed to sign outside the transfer window. Not being able to score may be an emergency to Hibs fans but isn't what the rule intends.

Ronny Deila: 'Leigh Griffiths not joining Hibernian'
By Liam Apicella, Features Editor
Filed: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 at 11:05 UK
Last Updated: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 at 11:07 UK

Celtic manager Ronny Deila has insisted that Leigh Griffiths will not be allowed to join Hibernian.

Alan Stubbs, who is the current boss of Hibs, recently conceded that he was keen to re-sign the 24-year-old on an emergency three-month loan deal.

However, Deila has revealed that the striker is in his "plans" for the future at Parkhead.

"He's at Celtic and nothing is going on with Hibs. He's here and he's been in our plans. There haven't been any real talks between the clubs," he told the Daily Record.

Griffiths, who had two-year loan stint with Hibs between 2011 and 2013, joined Celtic in January from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Delia hasn't made a statement. He was asked the question in the press conference yesterday and gave the same response. Some newspapers are reporting it a different way. Quite why anyone would believe Delia's nonsense about Griffiths being in his plans I don't know as he's only played once since he said that at the end of August but he's always going to talk up a player. He's going to make him feel wanted.

[hibbiedon]

Sorry ! I love sparky to bits but this is making Hibs into a joke are we such a desperate bunch that we are begging for a loan of a player, We were one of the top four or five clubs in Scotland a few years ago, we may have a highly paid board top training camp and behind the scenes be a big club but on the park we are a joke. Invest in the squad or get out should be the message

[mjhibby]

It pains me as much as any other hibby what has happened at er in the last couple of seasons but will never want to behave as the likes of the pbs mob or those from govan. Its shameful that the £28 to 44m that hertz stole from other businesss isnt mentioned in the press and its all fine and dandy to just shaft decent people. Im glad hfc doesnt behave like that and that is one reason im proud to support our beloved team. Its what sets us apart from them and always will.

Does the second part not contradict the first somewhat? You think chasing after Griffiths makes us look a joke but you want us to invest in the squad. Loaning (and possibly buying) Griffiths is the best way to invest in the squad!

I just think this continuous loan policy is wrong that is not my idea of investment, if we had bought him in the first place that would be investing in the team. How many loan players have we had in the last few years, how many have we kept, thats part of our problem

We tried that and Wolves at the time wanted more than we could afford, we tried again but due to other players mucking Celtic about, time was against us, Leigh's a die hard Hibby and will bust a gut for us loan or not, he did the last time, so not all loan players are the same.

Just drove past him. He was out walking a big scary looking dug. Didn't look too happy but that might have been due to the creature dragging him along the road.

Fuuny that, i just drove past Scott Brown, he wasn't walking his dog mind you.

[Winston Ingram]

Still standing at the station..

This is becoming more tedious than the Referendum nonsense..

To suggest that he is not signing is just scaremongering :duck:

Won't sign until the 4th of October at the earliest so that he is available for the 3rd of January

I think you made that up.

[HappyHibby93]

Well, I was chatting with my dad, here's the theory;

The emergency loan will only last 93 days. Is he is signed on Friday, his loan deal would expire on the 27th of December, a day where we play rangers. We reckon/hope that hibs are holding back so that he would be available to play against rangers. Then they can use the next week to try and extend the deal in time for our new year game with a certain local rival.

Let's be honest, this is surely bullet proof..? Hrmm...

Malonga and Griffiths partnership would be something to get excited about, pace, movement, power, threat in air, goals goals goals...

I think he's an absolute cert to start tomorrow night. :agree:

[seanshow]

Is there a link to the emergency loan rule, it's not as if we are down to out last few players.

Who decides?

[Callum_62]

no 'emergency' as such is needed in Personnel - we, in a lower league are allowed to loan outwith the window

Just its capped at 93 day maximum

We could have 20 strikers and it still wouldnt influence wether we could loan another

[CRAZYHIBBY]

I reckon rods already pulled off a master stroke by painting griffiths and disguising him as malonga...Haven't you noticed that you never see them both together at the same time???

[SouthMoroccoStu]

This

Now Leigh's got a tough decision

Answer the celtics fans pleas and be the natural goal scorer we all know he is, sink the Jambos but mess up a move back to where he wants to be and continue to warm the celtic stands

Or

Not play overly well, cause outrage with the soap dogger faithful (shock horror he's not a boyhood celtic fan - how is this even possible?!?) and get back to hibs

Now I'm not suggesting that leigh would 'throw' a game, he's too much of a professional and natural footballer. Plus he hates hearts

Get him cup tied that's fine with me but bring him home

[GreenArmyyy!]

Cup tied is fine. El Alagui should be back for the final :)

Gus Fring has outlined the finer detail of the rule many times but bottom.line is if you just remove the word "emergency" its just like a normal loan. Exceptions being it takes place outside the window and lasts a maximum.of 93 days. And teams in the top division can't use it.

[Ronniekirk]

Tonight's game will tell us a lot If he doesn't play from start or isn't in squad then there is a deal to be done Whether it Materilises is another matter altogether.
If he starts and bangs in a few then then Celtic may not be so keen to let him go out on loan

But one thing is clear he isn't really in the first team as first second or even third pick and if he is only getting the odd game between now and Xmas he won't be happy , and when Leigh isn't happy you don't get the best out him .
Unless R D is serious about giving him an oppertunity to force his way into first team it makes more sense to loan him out .
However as Celtic are not top of league and in Europe they may need to keep him as back up

if they were out of Europe and top of league they wouldn't be stalling on a loan move imo

But, it's just a rumour right, never happening, move along etc etc! Fingers crossed!

[SHODAN]

Bet Hearts want him to play, score and Celtic to win tonight.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

It's almost a certainty he'll play and score tonight - just like against Dundee. And with our luck, a bloody hattrick!

[Jim44]

Just been told that, if he gets a job down south, Lennon will be trying to get Griffiths.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Good luck with that because he hated it down south and doesn't want to be going there any time soon, again.
