Any idea of the nature of this big news?

Any idea of the nature of this big news?

I'm thinking it could be Hibs related :hmmm:

[IanM]

Boyle, Fontaine and Feruz 😃😃 and my boss sanctions my halfie

[Unseen work]

I have been told a contract extension plus 2 signings

I never normally have any info so this is a one off.....lets just hope he is telling the truth haha fwiw lets just say he is the sort of person that would know

Halfie?

Do you not mean semi?

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

[MB62]

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.

[J-C]

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 :wink::dunno:

[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.

[J-C]

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.

[PeterboroHibee]

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.

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 :aok:

[Ozyhibby]

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.

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.

[Beefster]

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?

[CockneyRebel]

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.

[J-C]

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!

[Hannah_hfc]

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

Now.

Now.Great. Was expecting great things but i'm still happy with our weeks work.

[Borderhibbie76]

If as rumoured both Fontaine and Allan have re-signed you do wonder why we havent announced this yet with ST deadline for renewals looming?

[weecounty hibby]

This thread has really delivered :top marks

It sure has as it is indeed Friday

[Hibbyradge]

If as rumoured both Fontaine and Allan have re-signed you do wonder why we havent announced this yet with ST deadline for renewals looming?

Possibly because they are rumours. :dunno:

[jacomo]

If as rumoured both Fontaine and Allan have re-signed you do wonder why we havent announced this yet with ST deadline for renewals looming?

It's because the video editor had the day off and can't put them online until next week.

HIBS.net FACT.

[sleeping giant]

ITK thread starters ken whits gaun oan

[SloopJB]

It was on the PM board a week ago

[Billychaotic182]

We we we so excited

[Kojock]

Its all a marketing ploy, on season ticket deadline day they will announce that the players have re-signed followed by an extension to the deadline day :wink:

[SaulGoodman]

Which seat can I taaaaaake?

[Danderhall Hibs]

I knew this was a hoax. The boy on Facebook hadn't posted anything and his info is usually spot on.

If it was happening he'd have known.

[Gerard]

Perhaps next Friday

Tbf they did break the rumour we were interested in an unnamed keeper, I thought that might have been the big story.

Either that or a Qatari billionaire was pledging his £18.75 to HSL.

I've heard we're interested in a named keeper.

Am I ITK?

[JHFC]

Perhaps next Friday

or Friday after next?

[givescotlandfreedom]

Maybe Petrie will announce it when the whole world's eyes are upon us at the presentation of the Qatar Airways Cup?

Tbf someone I know who works for Nike as a buyer told me the Everton kit would be our template last year like it was definitely happening. Can't tell sometimes.

[Dalianwanda]

These are the sort of threads that start in hope then jest, false belief & finally deliver disappointment and frustration...just saying :-)

[Keith_M]

Just to save me trailing through the whole thread.....


What was the big news then?

Was it one of the following?


Petrie had his moustache trimmed
The Fish Man was late delivering to ER.
Last night's Streaker was indeed our very own Steve.
The number 26 Bus, driven by Jordi Cruyff, crashed into Greggs.
Leeann had her moustache trimmed.
The guy in the Pink Shorts was also our very own Steve.
Holyrood Boxing Club signed up to HSL.
Scotland won the rights to the 2026 World cup, supported by Qatar.
Steve has been given a five year Football Banning Order for last night's incidents

[Hibbyradge]

It's Saturday.

Expect big winds.

[Smartie]

Much more of this disappointment and I'm going to have to get the old gorilla suit down from the loft.

hahaha cute. You can think whatever you like:aok:

[Ronniekirk]

There have been a few articles in the media over the past few days making it clear he and Hibs are confident that key players like Fontaine and Allan will be playing for Hibs next Season in our Drive to get Promotion .Talked about Allan signing extended contract as being the best option for Hibs ,and Fontaine has offer on table but is mulling it over with his family ,
He also highlighted how fans buying shares has helped the process so far ,picked out role of Graham Mathie in our Recruitment Policy as key .,and was basically upbeat ,saying we need to attract lapsed supporters back to the club ,recognising they are key to increased gate revenue ( talked about a figure of three thousand

So on the above basis the positivity around Easter Road continues to gain momentum , but persuading those three thousand to return with us still in the Championship i,s going to the hardest bit to deliver .Keeping our best players would show intent ,but to win the Championship ,we will probably need to strengthen the squad further ,and to do that the lapsed fans could be key .

So anyone looking in in that position ,take advantage of the current Payment Plan to buy your Season Ticket ,Your Club Needs your Support to Push us Forward .:gwa:

No coincidence that stubbs and a lot of the players have been away on holiday this week. Players back in training 2 weeks on Monday I think, so would expect things to ramp up again at the start of next week.

Glad this thread exists, otherwise I'd never know it was Friday.
