Scott Allan - signs a 4 year deal with Celtic

[Sioux]

He's put in a transfer request according to Sky Sports news a minute ago.

[Bob Box Fish]

On SSN he's put a transfer request in.

[Sir David Gray]

Totally sick of this.

Stick him in the reserves for the next year.

[Brooster]

On SSN he's put a transfer request in.

Will make absolutely no difference.

[berwickhibee]

lets see if the horrible pigs stump up the money now!!!! think £400,000 will be accepted:thumbsup:

[Aldo]

Handed in a request now apparently. What a *****

This x 10


He can go if he wants, just not to The Rangers.

And this!

SA can go and **** right off!

Lower than a snakes belly!

[Lago]

On SSN he's put a transfer request in.
He is following the script to a T.

BREAKING: @HibsOfficial midfielder Scott Allan hands in transfer request

[My_Wife_Camille]

**** him. He can go anywhere but Rangers.

[Thecat23]

Not sure why anyone thinks it's a surprise. He told everyone last week he wants to leave! It changes nothing though he's contracted to us so unless we want to sell him he's staying.

Personally I'd sell but not to the Huns. The fact he never clapped any of the crown on sat warming up said it all for me and the way he was off the ball.

[Onion]

On SSN he's put a transfer request in.

Which means he wants nothing to do with Hibs or our bid for promotion. Ungrateful little ****.

[Aldo]

It wouldn't surprise me if this has been on the go all summer and with his best pal Halliday signing up its even easier to tap him up!

****s the lot of them.

[HH81]

Allen is a typical modern day football dickhead!

[Elephant Stone]

This doesn't make selling our best player to our closest rivals any more attractive, it simply is not an option. He'll surely be told to honour his contract or we'll sell him somewhere else. Judas ****.

[Andy74]

Totally sick of this.

Stick him in the reserves for the next year.

Yep. I'd be happy to make a point of this one and put him out the game for a year.

[Mon Dieu4]

Point of principle now, sell to anyone other than Sevco or ruin him for a year

[Lago]

Not sure why anyone thinks it's surprise. He told everyone last week he wants to leave! It changes nothing though he's contracted to us so unless we want to sell him he's staying.

Personally I'd sell but not to the Huns. The fact he never clapped any of the crown on sat warming up said it all for me and the way he was off the ball.
It is all very well selling to anyone but rangers, but no other club has expressed even the smallest interest in him, to my knowledge.
Perhaps we are all over rating him based on the lack of interest from all but 1 club.

[matty_f]

It wouldn't surprise me if this has been on the go all summer and with his best pal Halliday signing up its even easier to tap him up!

****s the lot of them.

That's a nap mate, they'll have been in his ear for ages. I don't think clubs generally make bids for players unless they're confident that the player's keen on the move.

Allan will have been aware of what's been going on long before any bids went in.

[Onceinawhile]

Totally sick of this.

Stick him in the reserves for the next year.

Nope. Why should the development squad be stuck with him? Stick him on gardening leave and remind him he's under contract and can't train anywhere else.

[Aldo]

Well Judas will be well chuffed with himself, his agent and Der Hun. True colours and all.

We cannot sell to them!

Pressure big Time on board now.

[Aldo]

That's a nap mate, they'll have been in his ear for ages. I don't think clubs generally make bids for players unless they're confident that the player's keen on the move. Allan will have been aware of what's been going on long before any bids went in.

No doubting it for a minute Matty!

It's obvious he doesn't want to be here so **** him.

This will hopefully spur the rest of the team on.

Raging like raging!

[Onceinawhile]

Point of principle now, sell to anyone other than Sevco or ruin him for a year

Stick him in the groundskeeping team at East mains. Doesn't show up? Fined a weeks wages.

[HarpyHibby]

Who is Scott Allan's agent now ?

Alan Houldsworth or something along those lines. Ibrox season ticket holder. Also represents Cummings, Holt and a few others.

Hun ****.

[matty_f]

I really hope Hibs dig their heels in here. Even if he spits the dummy and doesn't want to play for us, we need to hold on to him so he's not playing for them, or sell him outwith the Championship.

His agent's a stirring **** as well, that's where Sky Sports will have got their info from. His agent's clearly trying to up the ante to force Hibs' hand. Same as he would have known exactly what was happening with the photo that went out at the weekend. Duplicitous b***ards. So much for wanting to see the season out at Hibs, Scott.

[Thecat23]

It is all very well selling to anyone but rangers, but no other club has expressed even the smallest interest in him, to my knowledge.
Perhaps we are all over rating him based on the lack of interest from all but 1 club.

I think there will be a few clubs wanting him but his desire to join the Huns may be stopping them even bothering. But I'd still expect interest to be honest!

[BoomtownHibees]

Let him rot

[bingo70]

So after all that fuss earlier on, that's what the sun meant by their headline this and they were right again.

Please note that's not me being negative, just an observation that they are clearly getting inside info.

[GreenCastle]

Do not sell to your main title rivals - simple!!!

Would be surprised if we see him play for Hibs again now.

[Mon Dieu4]

Hibs should hopefully have a case to go to the authorities with(not that they will do anything) but this is a clear cut example of a player being tapped as I've ever seen

[hibeemikey21]

He had previous.

7 games at Dundee United demanding to be their highest ever paid player at the ripe old age of 17....

[Lee Marvin]

Anyone but rangers!! He cannot, I repeat, cannot go to them.

Let him rot in reserves until then.

[HibbyAndy]

ANYWHERE but Sevco!!


Please don't you dare sell to them!! Do it and all the good work has been undone..Do it and it will be the final straw for many ( Me included)


Don't you dare sell to Rangers!!!

[SteveHFC]

Scott Allan can **** off

[Billy Whizz]

Alan Houldsworth or something along those lines. Ibrox season ticket holder. Also represents Cummings, Holt and a few others.

Hun ****.

Thought it was Viola?

[carnoustiehibee]

Sell him to Bora Rangers for £1

[JJP]

Good player but look at how he treated the club that brought him through and then the club that brought him back from the brink. Can't believe any other club would want him. If he does end up at Rangers hopefully he pulls the same stunt there and we will see what they have to say about it when it happens to them. Feel pretty vindicated now after being called a bed wetter the last few days for only wanting players here who have respect for the club.

[Pete]

I think there will be a few clubs wanting him but his desire to join the Huns may be stopping them even bothering. But I'd still expect interest to be honest!

I'm not sure it would stop them trying and this will prick the ears up of those who might fancy it.

Joining someone else for better money will be more attractive to Allan than staying here.

Nothing changes unless he is disruptive at east mains.

[Haymaker]

Train on his own after the rest of the boys. **** him.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Rat

[c31]

Now we find out what the new board are made off, will it be the expected line, "we did all we could to keep him" or will it be "tough son you're going nowhere".

My feelings that I bet he's a Hun by next Saturday and if he is the we as fans have been stuffed once more.

[Pete]

Train on his own after the rest of the boys. **** him.

If he is causing trouble then definitely.

[SteveHFC]

@Sinclair1875: I hope Scott Allan's diabetes gets worse

What a ****ing moron.

[Heisenberg]

Get to **** Scotty Allan :)

[Hermit Crab]

lets see if the horrible pigs stump up the money now!!!! think £400,000 will be accepted:thumbsup:


They can offer that all they want, he will not be sold to Rangers.....

[My_Wife_Camille]

Yep. I'd be happy to make a point of this one and put him out the game for a year.
:top marks

We we keep hearing that player power rules. Time for Hibs to claim that power back and set an example to other clubs. He's going nowhere.

[Aldo]

@Sinclair1875: I hope Scott Allan's diabetes gets worse What a ****ing moron.

That's out of order!

[DAVE1875]

My my aren't we all rattled over ​Sky Sources

[Aldo]

Can someone change the name of thread to Judas Allan!!

[hulk]

ANYWHERE but Sevco!!


Please don't you dare sell to them!! Do it and all the good work has been undone..Do it and it will be the final straw for many ( Me included)


Don't you dare sell to Rangers!!!

Totally agree. Stubbs has said no categorically and to go back on that will leave him and Hibs looking very stupid indeed. No sale to the Huns at any price !

[GreenCastle]

Alan Houldsworth or something along those lines. Ibrox season ticket holder. Also represents Cummings, Holt and a few others.

Hun ****.


His twitter is full of Sevco stuff - obviously has a massive part to play in this also! :rolleyes:

[Wheat Hound]

We must stand firm. £250,000 is nothing compared to him bolstering them against us. I have faith in Leanne and Stubbsy :)

[hulk]

My my aren't we all rattled over ​Sky Sources

Reliable sources ?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Club have stood firm thus far, now he's escalating the issue.

I guess we'll soon find out who blinks first. It's a sad situation and the last thing the club needs, with a new season around the corner.

[banarc7062]

Completely agree. It's indicative of the tendency of football fans to get easily wound up by the sports media. Leave that nonsense to slavering, brain-dead Huns, who live for tabloid and buckfast breakfasts, having little else to fill their rather dreary existences in those strange sectarian hovels that dot the west of Scotland a festering rash.

Being a Hibernian supporter from the capital carries with it the burden of a certain sophistication. Let us prove equal to the task.

Totally agree. GGTTH :flag:

[alexhibs]

Gutted nae loyalty these days let him rot in reserves come on Hibs don't let us down ffs

[DH1875]

Said all along, if the money is right, I've no problem with him leaving just so long as its not to sevco. Would rather give him away than sell to that mob.

[Danderhall Hibs]

When we he stays and we win the cup he should be up there lifting it with Gray.

[Sir David Gray]

Nope. Why should the development squad be stuck with him? Stick him on gardening leave and remind him he's under contract and can't train anywhere else.

I'm not actually bothered what happens to Scott Allan, as long as he doesn't play for Sevco until next summer then any other option is fine by me.

If he doesn't want to play for Hibs, the club that resurrected his career and gave him a chance again, then stuff him.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

What an ungrateful wee prick. 12 months is all we asked for. Arrogant ********

[adhibs]

Let him rot

Making him spend a year training on his own with no competive football seems a far better option than selling him to the huns. Hope it ruins the wee *******s career as well

[andrew70]

Now my feelings on the situation change.

Let him rot in the stand. Petulant wee *rse who is being led by his agent.

[Del Boy]

For the low amount of money we'll get offered I'd rather let him rot in the reserves for a season.

[ronaldo7]

A meeting of the big hitters at ER now.

[greenginger]

Alan Houldsworth or something along those lines. Ibrox season ticket holder. Also represents Cummings, Holt and a few others.

Hun ****.


No agent with anything like that name ?

[Kojock]

My my aren't we all rattled over ​Sky Sources

Its now over to Hibs to confirm or deny it. If he has then Hibs stand firm and say hes not going to Sevco, if he has not then we are back to square one.

Player will not be sold to rangers. Per club statement.

club statement

n the face of continued media interest, Hibernian Football Club can confirm that Scott Allan has today handed in a written transfer request.

This comes on the back of two unwelcome and uninvited approaches from Rangers FC regarding Scott, the first for £175,000 and the second for £225,000.

Hibernian FC has refused both bids because the Club has no wish to transfer a valuable player to strengthen a major rival in the battle to win the Championship and gain promotion to the Premiership.

Hibernian’s position has not changed. The player will not be sold to Rangers.

http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/5590

[SteveHFC]

He can rot in the west stand for the rest of the season 👍🏻

[Hermit Crab]

Let him rot

Why? He' still a Hibs player regardless of any transfer request.


Do not sell to your main title rivals - simple!!!

This 100%, Hibs have said they won't and nothings changed.

Would be surprised if we see him play for Hibs again now.

Really? Why is that?


Hibs should hopefully have a case to go to the authorities with(not that they will do anything) but this is a clear cut example of a player being tapped as I've ever seen

Just so blatant you have to wonder why the media have not picked up on this......:rolleyes:


Anyone but rangers!! He cannot, I repeat, cannot go to them.

Let him rot in reserves until then.


ANYWHERE but Sevco!!


Please don't you dare sell to them!! Do it and all the good work has been undone..Do it and it will be the final straw for many ( Me included)


Don't you dare sell to Rangers!!!

Hibs have said they wont and I believe they wont because if they do then wave bye bye to a few thousand fans. They can't afford that.


]Scott Allan can **** off[/B]

C'mon you're just back from a spell on the bench.


Sell him to Bora Rangers for £1

Who would then sell him to the new rangers.

Behave.

Most unlike you S.


@Sinclair1875: I hope Scott Allan's diabetes gets worse

Excellent statement. Stand firm Hibs.

Funny that when the shoe is on the other foot and we don't fancy a player it's absolutely fine that we want the club to get rid. No loyalty on both sides

When have we ever forced a player to leave half way through a two year contract? I can't remember Hibs ever treating a player with the contempt that that little jumped up prick is treating us with at the moment

[sixtwo]

Great response from the club. Sell him to Celtic and get mcgeogh, a fee and a dig at those arrogant sevco *******s

[Barney McGrew]

Really don't see what he's hoping to achieve by handing in a transfer request.

Does he really believe that Hibs will turn around and say 'Well in that case, off you trot to the Huns then'?

Bonkers.

[HibbyAndy]

Totally agree. Stubbs has said no categorically and to go back on that will leave him and Hibs looking very stupid indeed. No sale to the Huns at any price !

:agree:

Soft touch, Look stupid, Duped the fans ..etc..

Sell SA to The rangers and i'm done.


Edit..He's a little ****ing rat!!!

[Johnny_Leith]

Well said Hibs, put The Rangers in their place.

That being said, if a financially appealing bid from England came in I'd take it, reinvest in the squad and move on.

He obviously knew Hibs weren't going to sell and has now put a serious black mark on his relationship with Hibernian.

[Sir David Gray]

My stance has changed since last week.

I originally thought we would eventually relent and sell him to Sevco instead of letting him rot but it appears that Hibs are willing to do just that and it's a position i wholeheartedly agree with.

I would much rather that this situation hadn't happened but I would rather we were paying for him to sit in the stand for the next year than see him playing for Sevco and help them to win the league at our expense.

[Long suffering]

For me its not even about loyalty its about blatant respect. He knows the difficult situation he's putting us in and it shows no regard for what we've been able to give him over the last year; a platform to play again. Players need to learn the value of signing a contract. 2 years isn't one year and then the club must let me go onto 'bigger' and 'better'' things. I wouldn't even be so fussed if he wanted to leave to for ANY club but he must be aware we cannot possibly sell him to Rangers.

[Aldo]

Really don't see what he's hoping to achieve by handing in a transfer request. Does he really believe that Hibs will turn around and say 'Well in that case, off you trot to the Huns then'? Bonkers.

Speaks Volumes though BM!

His silence until today was the key to him wanting out!

I do think that's what he's thinking tbh and on the cheap too!

Lads not learnt much but the club once again have played a blinder!

[HappyAsHellas]

Perhaps we should all contact the club and let them know how disastrous it would be for them to sell SA to der Hun. We all want the board to back us, time to back them and stick together and do what's best for HFC methinks.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Great response from the club. Sell him to Celtic and get mcgeogh, a fee and a dig at those arrogant sevco *******s

Now it's been made clear he won't be sold to a team in the same division, despite a transfer request, it would be very funny if Celtc stepped forward now, even if only to wind up Rangers and Allan.

[matty_f]

Hibernian’s position has not changed. The player will not be sold to Rangers.

Well done to Hibs on this stance....

I ******* love Hibs.

[bigwheel]

Perhaps we should all contact the club and let them know how disastrous it would be for them to sell SA to der Hun. We all want the board to back us, time to back them and stick together and do what's best for HFC methinks.

Head full of pish from his agent.

[The_Horde]

Why are all good football players complete Richard heads?

I wouldn't even let him sit in the stands. Tell him to stay away from the club completely and he can do as he pleases next summer.

Bri, agreed entirely.

This was the inevitable "next step" from agent. He did it after a handful of games with Dundee utd. Games gone mad.

[Hermit Crab]

Correct, they've maintained radio silence throughout this whole saga, but you can bet your bollocks to a barn dance that they will have been listening in with great interest. :agree:

Really disappointed in Allan, I know I shouldn't be surprised but still I thought the help we have given him with his illness would at least ensure us a little loyalty.

Good statement from Hibs...anyone but The Rangers

Are you being serious? He has requested to leave the club, no longer wants to be here, no longer wants to wear the green and white. I wouldn't have him anywhere near the first team. What are his team-mates going to think about him? Will he give 100%? Will he ****.

**** um

He's not going to the hun. The club have made that crystal clear.

[MWHIBBIES]

Allan is a total piece of ****.

[CelticEnd]

...........the panto villain has yet to enter centre stage........they wear hoops :agree:

To be honest I'd be utterly shocked if Celtic have any interest in him.

We already have Bitton (same age), Armstrong (younger), Henderson (younger), Johansen (only a year older) who can play the CM roles as well as Brown, Mulgrew etc.

[wookie70]

Well done Hibs, very poor from Scott who should repay some of the faith we have placed in him. For me he can go anywhere including The Rangers but they would have to pay a good deal more than anyone else. Players come and go and Stubbs has shown he is decent in the transfer market. A good few quid may give us extra quality and depth. Never been quite as big a fan of Scott as most on here but it won't be easy to replace him with little time in the window left. This needs sorted quickly or Hibs need to decide he is being parked on the bench and we need another player to replace him

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Daffy Duck stuff!

Why do you think that? what the hell do you expect them to say. FFS.

[Borderhibbie76]

Little pr### he can GTF to anywhere but them as far as I'm concerned. .never want to see the ungrateful little currant bun in a hibs top ever again. Ps well done LD terrific statement

[anon1875]

What a mistake Allan has made by trying to force that move. He's going to be training with the kids now and will probably lose form where as if he just kept it together until January he could of signed a precontract with them anyway. Rangers aren't even that arsed about getting him, they wanted to they would of put in a proper bid in the first place and would of done it at the end of last season.

[KeithTheHibby]

Punt him to anyone apart from the Huns, either that let him rot in the stand, wee prick that he is.

[Cameron1875]

Enjoy the reserves and watching Gillette Soccer Saturday you stupid ****.

A sensible agent would have got Allan a move that he wanted but he's obviously been given dreadful advice and seems like a tube anyway.

[Billy Whizz]

Wonder if he'll play in the development league game against Celtic next week

[Hermit Crab]

Are you being serious? He has requested to leave the club, no longer wants to be here, no longer wants to wear the green and white. I wouldn't have him anywhere near the first team. What are his team-mates going to think about him? Will he give 100%? Will he ****.

**** um


I just don't think there's any need for all the vile hatred that's being posted on the MB. These things happen every week in football and to be honest we all knew this was coming so people should have been prepared for this, but no - a mass bed wetting session has ensued now that we know that one of our players wants to leave.

[Smartie]

We've had some little pr!cks disrespect us over the years but I reckon this is the worst we've had by some distance.

The little 5hite would do well to speak to Garry O'Connor, Derek Riordan, Ivan Sproule, Kevin Thomson and Ian Murray about not burning bridges as you never know when you might need a club again (I know Riordan and Murray treated us pretty badly on their departure and were lucky to be welcomed back but that's not the point).

There's a way to leave a club - see Steven Fletcher and David Murphy. Even Scott Brown knuckled down for a short spell after his initial fuddery (the same option that may yet be open to Allan) and is undoubtedly now better off for it.

He wants to play this way - fine. He rots for a year. He's under contract, all he needed to do was stay for one more year then he could go anywhere (including Ibrox, even in the unlikely event that both Hibs and The Rangers are in the Championship again next season) with our blessing having honoured his contract. He'd have got a bit of his reputation back as a decent guy after the way he treated United too.

This is a big season for him, to see if he can build on what he did in his first year at Hibs and he's jeopardised that with this idiocy. I hope another club comes in and pays us the going rate for him because in spite of him being a t!t he's a fine player. If it is Ibrox or a season serving pints behind the goals then serving pints it is.


And in the unlikely event that we capitulate and sell him to The Rangers then their fans should beware. Being fans of "Rangers" didn't stop Alan McGregor, Steven Naismith and Kyle Lafferty walking out and doing the dirty on them. They will be getting a player who clearly has ability but who also has seriously pi55ed off 2 sets of fans by the age of 23. He's had a good streak at Utd that got him his move to WBA and a good season for Hibs in the First Division, both of these spells have gone to his head big-time.

[hibeedonald]

Anyone else think Rangers knew they wouldn't get Allan from the start?Just a dirty tactic to rid us of our best player, or at the very least, unsettle him. Surely the guys at the top of Rangers must of known we wouldn't sell.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Remember SA is under no obligation to accept any other offer, so if he is hell bent on going to them he will wait until January to sign a pre-contract. Not sure his mind would be right to play for us, whilst this remained the case

[Del Boy]

Put him on the bench this Saturday and bring him on for last 5 minutes and let Hibs fans show him what we think.

Ungrateful wee cock

[Hermit Crab]

To be honest I'd be utterly shocked if Celtic have any interest in him.

We already have Bitton (same age), Armstrong (younger), Henderson (younger), Johansen (only a year older) who can play the CM roles as well as Brown, Mulgrew etc.


He's coming to us along with McGeoch. :greengrin

[bill the hibby]

Heard if the board sell Allan to rangers, which they won't do and they've made that clear, that stubbs will walk. However no need to worry about that

[matty_f]

Remember SA is under no obligation to accept any other offer, so if he is hell bent on going to them he will wait until January to sign a pre-contract. Not sure his mind would be right to play for us, whilst this remained the case

If he does, I'd still insist that he sees out his contract with us. He's better doing nothing for us than helping them to the league.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

I just don't think there's any need for all the vile hatred that's being posted on the MB. These things happen every week in football and to be honest we all knew this was coming so people should have been prepared for this, but no - a mass bed wetting session has ensued now that we know that one of our players wants to leave.

Mass bed wetting? jeezo, happy clapper alert!

He has treated us disgracefully IMO and has showed the club and the fans zero loyalty, so for that reason he can beat it!

[scoopyboy]

I thought the Hibs statement was excellent, short, sharp and to the point.

One thing I would like to know however, have Hibs knocked it back or has he been transfer listed?

[bigwheel]

Heard if the board sell Allan to rangers, which they won't do and they've made that clear, that stubbs will walk. However no need to worry about that


You've just made that up

[truehibernian]

Correct, they've maintained radio silence throughout this whole saga, but you can bet your bollocks to a barn dance that they will have been listening in with great interest. :agree:

They'll definitely enter the race - whether for additional devilment or indeed to try and do a 'Scott Brown' and get a real talent for decent money. More so when Van Dijk is sold to the EPL. They have cash and will have more regardless, but CL qualification and they will want to boost squad with quality to fight on all fronts.

Their powder will be kept dry though - it's panning out how I thought with the request going in, thought it would have been sooner. However if Hibs are canny and be respectful, it'll irk and antagonise the player and agent and longer it goes on a player with the mindset of Allan will just want to go anywhere but Hibs.......I'll give it 2 more weeks and other clubs will be coming in, bids a lot higher, agent is now hamstrung (would't get a place on our treatment room mind :greengrin), squad will no doubt galvanise and some may shun him...........Hibs just keep doing what they are doing, honour terms of contract and keep within employment regs...........Allan has played a silly set of cards.

Loving Hibs' stance however - I'd love to be in the boardroom with Leeann and Stubbs - they are making me even prouder of being a Hibee :agree::aok:

[Kojock]

Its well known that in the two or three weeks leading up to the start of the season that we sell around 1000 season tickets which is a potential income of between 2-300k. If we sell Allan to Der Hun for 250k then Im sure many of the 1000 will not renew so basically we either get the money from Sevco or season ticket sales. I know what I prefer. GGTTH

[givescotlandfreedom]

Why do you think that? what the hell do you expect them to say. FFS.

I think you misunderstood what I meant.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Well done Hibs, I have every faith that you will stick with it LD.

Scott Allan now seems to have been Ill advised if it is only The Rangers that he will go to.
That's his career in limbo for at least six months because he won't play for Hibs again.
After everything Hibs done for him, it's galling.

[IWasThere2016]

I thought the Hibs statement was excellent, short, sharp and to the point.

One thing I would like to know however, have Hibs knocked it back or has he been transfer listed?

Good point Scoops. I reckon we will sell for the right fee and clearly no to Der Hun thankfully :greengrin

[Baldy Foghorn]

If he does, I'd still insist that he sees out his contract with us. He's better doing nothing for us than helping them to the league.

Yeah it would be a big call from us, as to whether he was selected to play or not.... Messy all round, caused by greedy agent, greedy player, and a despicably vile institution..........

[BoomtownHibees]

Nonsense. It's only weeks since he said he would see out his contract. One more season which would show a bit of respect to Hibs and Stubbs but no, he acts like the spoilt little prick that so many thought about him from his Dundee Utd days.

[bill the hibby]

You've just made that up

Believe what you want haha. I don't post what ive heard on here to please you.

It's a fair point. I don't hate the guy; players come and go, and I don't begrudge him a move to the club he supports and who want to sign him. However, he's gone about this the wrong way. All he had to do was see out his contract and bide his time, signing for them on a pre-contract if he wished.

It's heartening that Dempster and Stubbs are between them putting the interests of Hibs first. In the past the club would have capitulated.

[MyJo]

I thought the Hibs statement was excellent, short, sharp and to the point.

One thing I would like to know however, have Hibs knocked it back or has he been transfer listed?

No inside info but i would imagine with the statement being released that it has been accepted otherwise it would have said that we had refused it in the message.

It will have been accepted so that Allan misses out on his cut of the transfer fee but we will not be accepting a bid from Sevco.

[truehibernian]

To be honest I'd be utterly shocked if Celtic have any interest in him.

We already have Bitton (same age), Armstrong (younger), Henderson (younger), Johansen (only a year older) who can play the CM roles as well as Brown, Mulgrew etc.

Celtic want to win all the cups domestically and they will need a strong squad for the number of games - especially if the play CL and/or Europa League football.

I'd be even more shocked if they didn't enter the race - very soon.

[Hermit Crab]

Mass bed wetting? jeezo, happy clapper alert!

Anyone who knows will tell you I'm not a happy clapper. •Admin Edit- Cut out the name calling•

[StarMan10]

What a minging start to the season this has been. New signings out injured, pumped by our closest rivals, and one of our best players declares he wants to join them. Can only go up from here surely.

Personally I'd want Allan nowhere near the club just now. If he still is then I'd expect he might be on the end of hard tackle or two in training.

[AlbertK86]

Perhaps we should all contact the club and let them know how disastrous it would be for them to sell SA to der Hun. We all want the board to back us, time to back them and stick together and do what's best for HFC methinks.

Kind of think the board realise this and have made a fantastic statement

If they were to cave in now after repeatedly telling Sevco

No sale to you

The club would be an absolute laughing stock and lose all credibility

I would be very very surprised if he ends up at the Sevconians

[givescotlandfreedom]

Nobody could accuse you of that, HC :-D

[Hibtastic]

Better we convey how much we support the club on their stance on this! Be good if we could show that support at the next game! Hibernian 1, Scott Allan 0

[bill the hibby]

Where does this leave things if no other club comes in for him or he doesn't fancy going anywhere else...I'll repeat what I said the other night, let him rot in the stand/at home. Horrible hun.

[stoneyburn hibs]

[S4uzee]

He has to go this window or he'll just sign a pre contract with sevco in January

[truehibernian]

He's also getting himself quite a reputation for causing bother.

Didn't stop them buying Leigh, Nadir Ciftci, Deek (allegedly silver before you start my friend :greengrin) etc........

Scott Allan would improve Celtic's midfield, no doubt about it in my opinion. He'll also get a Scotland cap this year if he goes (again, my opinion)......I think he will end up at Celtic.

[hibee_girl]

He has to go this window or he'll just sign a pre contract with sevco in January

That's fine, he still won't play for them until next season

[bill the hibby]

Think you have answered your own question.

I did, was just wanting opinions on the matter

[Smartie]

I'd be even more shocked if they didn't enter the race - very soon.

I'd be surprised if Celtic didn't try a bit of opportunism here.

They've been quite good at booting Hibs in the balls themselves over the years. They'll be aware how much we do not want to see Allan at Ibrox this year of all years.

They might try out a cheeky wee £50k bid of their own. Or maybe even a free transfer. Both of which would probably be preferable to seeing him go to Ibrox for anything South of £1.5m.

I don't think Celtic have a need for him (even though I think he's a great player) but they might be up for picking up a saleable asset on the cheap.

[Lee Marvin]

Real Madrid could come in for him, but if he's determined to go to sevco then it becomes very messy.

He knows he can't get to sevco this season. Anyone offers him 5k per week to play down south, he goes. He will not want to stay at hibs for another year now, no chance.

He only ends up at the Huns this window, he won't be at hibs in any other now.

[Libby Hibby]

Heard if the board sell Allan to rangers, which they won't do and they've made that clear, that stubbs will walk. However no need to worry about that

Utter nonsense and yet another negative Hibs post from you...time you changed you user name to Billy the Hun

[Waxy]

Well done Hibs.I expected this.Now he's going to spend a year taking a wage from us without doing any good to us at all.
Proves a footballer who supports Rangers is a major character flaw and should be avoided.(lesson learned)?.
Now i'd force him into training everyday all day to the maximum hours, doing nothing beside any of the teams.Get him to eat pizza and fry ups every day.Let him drink any amount of alcohol he wants.No football at all.I'd ruin him.little ungrateful p&^%k.

[bingo70]

Real Madrid could come in for him, but if he's determined to go to sevco then it becomes very messy.

It doesn't have to, it can stay very black and white. He doesn't join them and he doesn't get to train with our first team.

The papers will soon get bored of his story.

[truehibernian]

Where does this leave things if no other club comes in for him or he doesn't fancy going anywhere else...I'll repeat what I said the other night, let him rot in the stand/at home. Horrible hun.

He doesn't need to go, however would he want to stay when his teammates know how much he think of them/the club ?

Hibs just need to do as they've done so brilliantly and stay canny, fair and informed - keep to the terms of his contract and give him/agents no wriggle room.

When other offers come in, watch the agents blood pressure rise when they see what they can get out of things too - cash is king, shame that King has no cash.

Ungrateful wee cock

I get what you're saying and can't disagree, but I would approach it in a different way. If Scott Allan is fortunate enough to play for Hibs again, I would like to see the fans cheering every single other Hibs player, every touch they have, applauding or whatever and when SA has the ball, he is met with total silence. It would send him the same message but in a more positive way for the other players.

[bill the hibby]

Utter nonsense and yet another negative Hibs post from you...time you changed you user name to Billy the Hun

It actually makes sense when you think about it but I can assure you I respect myself far too much to do something like that, absolute ****

[blackpoolhibs]

It doesn't have to, it can stay very black and white. He doesn't join them and he doesn't get to train with our first team.

The papers will soon get bored of his story.

With that scenario we lose last seasons player of the year, get no money to reinvest into the team and are obviously weakened.

He stays but does play, the first miss pass and he's slaughtered. Its clear reading this thread he's burnt his bridges with a lot of folk, as i said it gets very messy.

[Bad Martini]

Scott Allan can **** off. So can rangers.

Meantime, glory to the HIBEES. And well done dempster and the board.

I would expect some sort of swap deal with McGeoch to be put on the table, £200k & DM would be small change to Celtic and probably worth it for the boot in the baws it would be to Sevco

[truehibernian]

Not really BH - in Scott Brown we have a perfect example of how it can be managed where both get on with things - in fact, Stubbs may have sounded out JC and Petrie regards how that went - think we won a cup that year too :greengrin the difference of course is January and a pre-contract, but I defy any pro-footballer who doesn't want to play football.

If he signs a pre-contract for The Rangers, shunning other offers, then he becomes quite toxic in football circles with his previous with Hibs and Dundee Utd - he's a very silly laddie :agree:

Hibs are playing a blinder here, under extreme pressures from outwith the club - we have acted decisively and with dignity - love it :flag:

[Seveno]

Anyone else think Rangers knew they wouldn't get Allan from the start?Just a dirty tactic to rid us of our best player, or at the very least, unsettle him. Surely the guys at the top of Rangers must of known we wouldn't sell.

They never believed for a second that they could offer us enough to sell. They don't have the money but they do have enough dirty tricks.

[Hibby70]

Send him to Berwick Rangers on loan.

We've been weakened by this carry on there's no doubt. What the club, players (excluding that wee snake with the bad haircut) and fans need to do now is all pull together as one.

Get behind the TEAM as much as possible and use this as motivation to get it up those smelly bigots and their press.

[Libby Hibby]

'Bill the hun'...a name heavily tied into rangers beliefs, as I've said though I am a hibs supporter, just have a strange way of showing it :greengrin

It's not an ideal scenario but it's still a better one than selling him to the Huns.

When this all started I was convinced he'd end up playing for them but too much has been said. Bill the hibby had a bit stick for saying it but I couldn't see Stubbs staying if he's sold now, we'll have made him look like a total erse.

[hibsmad]

I already knew this is how he felt after the weekend, however I'm glad he has confirmed it and now all Hibees can be on the same page as far as SA is concerned.

What a dick

[LaMotta]

It's much less of a story now that we don't play them for a while. Contrary to a lot of the bed wetting on this thread, Scott Allan's done nothing to make me doubt his commitment to Hibs. Saturday wasn't a league game so there's no reason for it to have any lasting damage.


A lot of people seem to be itching to turn on Scott, 'let him rot' etc apppearing quite a bit in this thread now.

It's worth emphasising that he's not handed in a transfer request, he's not kicked any fuss, and he's not made any statement since saying he was happy here. Despite what the tabloids conjour up, all indications point to him just wanting to play football for hibs for the next season and then survey his options.

If he's not mentally fit to play tomorrow, I'd understand. If it was a league game I'd be annoyed but frankly, it's the challenge cup.

Can we all stop falling into the trap being placed for us by the media and support our best player?

Laughable how naive you have been throughout this thread. Are you still insisting he wants to stay with us?

[Hibernia&Alba]

I would expect some sort of swap deal with McGeoch to be put on the table, £200k & DM would be small change to Celtic and probably worth it for the boot in the baws it would be to Sevco

He cant be sold to them, far too many people have put their neck on the chopping block for that to happen. If we can punt him and get decent money and a player or two from Celtic then that's probably the best end to this.

I'm not convinced Celtic want him, or if he'd want to play there. If he leaves then that is probably the best way forward for us, i can't see him staying for the final year panning out well at all now.

[Waxy]

He probably doesnt even realise how much he's devalued himself by this.Another career ruined.

[BT58]

Anyone who puts in a transfer request shows they no longer want to play for the club.
How do his team mates now feel. He wants to go to another team who are challenging his current club to the league.
He should have all training facilities at ER/EM s withdrawn. Let him rot for the time he has left at the club. Make him report to behind the goals to serve drinks to the fans he has betrayed and let him get all the abuse he deserves.
He's a Rat !!!

[.Sean.]

I never want to see that ungrateful little rat pull on a Hibs top never again.

Allan, Allan get tae **** :aok:

[truehibernian]

Can he rip up his contract?

http://www.inbrief.co.uk/football-law/football-player-breaking-contracts.htm

In short not really - unless he hires Ironside :greengrin

He is under 28 but only a year into his contract - Hibs could, if it went to CAS, cite the transfer fees I posted last week of other Scottish players, similar age, similar talent - McLean, McLeod, Gauld, GMS, Armstrong, the lads from Falkirk to Swansea.........

Messy messy business.....for all concerned.......I don't think Allan hads the brains or stomach for it. Hibernian FC do :aok:

[Smartie]

That's not true. Whatever faults RP has, being a poor negotiator wasn't one of them.

:agree:

Petrie has many, many flaws and has done a lot wrong over the past few years.

His tough negotiating when trying to recruit players has cost us the signing of many players over the past few years and the fact that we've had to rely on so many 4th and 5th choice players is the main reason we're languishing in the league we're in. His approach wasn't unlike the one that The Rangers are attempting right now and I can see their approach having similar success.

Petrie is a fantastic negotiator when he is in possession of something that someone else wants though. We've haven't had anyone of any value for some time that anyone would want so we've not been able to see this.

I wouldn't say this about many situations but in this one Petrie is one man I would want on my side.

[SunshineOnLeith]

Laughable how naive you have been throughout this thread. Are you still insisting he wants to stay with us?

I still expect him to play to the best of his extremely high ability for Hibs this season. Whether or not he'd rather play for Rangers is irrelevant since we're not going to sell him to them.

[mentalhibee]

Can't see Celtic wanting him, his attitude stinks. Little cretinous currant bun bar steward!

That's not true. Whatever faults RP has, being a poor negotiator wasn't one of them.

Im afraid I disagree Crops. RP only had one way of negotiating, low ball every time. His parsimony extended to undervaluing our players. He was ready to sell the twins for a combined value of just over £4m. The much maligned JC stepped in & ensured we got £2.5m more for them & he also almost forced RP to give Fletch an extended contract on much better terms. That again brought us in ££m more. TBF to RP he learnt from this & has been more willing to take a chance with players such as Stokes, Fyvie & yes, Scott Allan. Let's hope this experience doesn't mean RP reverts to his old ways.

[MyJo]

Put him on the bench this Saturday and bring him on for last 5 minutes and let Hibs fans show him what we think.

Ungrateful wee cock

Get along on Saturday for these reasons in this order:-



Support Stubbs / LD / the board over this stance
Support the eleven who walk out wearing Hibs colours
Bring him on for the last 5 and everyone turn their back

No player is or ever will be bigger than the club.


Get him punted to anyone bar Rangers 

Rough is close though :greengrin:na na:

[emerald green]

So Scott Allan's platitudes such as "I'm happy at Hibs", and about seeing out his contract, were just that - complete and utter bull****. I'm not surprised really. This has been coming for a while now.

I wonder how Stubbs feels about Allan's actions right now? I can only guess :fuming:

[MrRobot]

Good to see an assertive statement from Hibs. If they stick to this, it's finally showing the club have grown a set after being quite frankly a bunch of pussy's in recent years.

[Sean1875]

what a dick. after everything he's said about how much the club has done for him, how much he's enjoying it here and that he's definitely staying, all it's taken is a weeks media speculation and 2 insulting bids from our main rivals for the league and he's wanting out, **** him.

I like number 3, but he should also be instructed to warm up by running round the perimeter of the pitch.

We should throw crumpled up bits of paper at him. Make him feel at home.




I'm joking btw

[brog]

I think we need to be realistic re this horrendous situation we've found ourselves in through no fault of the club. Firstly, although I'm disappointed(euphemism) with SA, IMO the only real villains here are Sevco. They can claim innocence but every football fan in Scotland knows the truth, they've tapped SA up & manipulated their lackeys in the MSM to great effect. To add insult to injury they've made a couple of ludicrously undervalued offers for a player who they would expect to sell on for a huge profit. TBH I believe the prospect of a huge profit is the main motive for their bid.
As for SA I really can't bring myself to heap abuse on a young man who has the opportunity to increase his wages at least 4fold & join the team he supports. If it was 10 years ago & it was Deek wanting to join us from say Partick, we would be doing exactly same as Sevco fans are now. I'm disappointed he hasn't had the savvy to work out this is not in his future best interests but no one ever complained about footballers being too smart! Personally I would play him every week until New Year unless he wasn't performing. Hopefully good performances would help us & possibly also attract realistic bids from other clubs. If he signs a prenuptial in Jan, all bets are off and we leave him in the stands & feed him fish suppers every day at EM. I'm sure, like Hermit C I'll get some valued feedback for my take on this but at least I'm sure there's concensus on one thing here, our club has done us proud!

Agree. He will go down as one of the biggest low life's that we've had.

[Jones28]

Scott Allan and Rangers can both **** off. Go back to Dundee United and see if they want him.

Brog the guy can never play for Hibs again IMHO! He doesn't want to play for Hibs and his transfer request tells us that.

What signal does that send out to the other players.... The wrong one for me! One player does not make a team and no player is bigger than the club! I don't want him to play for the club I've supported for over 40 years. He's committed the Cardinal Sin for me. Submitting a transfer request!

FWIW I don't see SA being picked by Stubbs again.

I think you make some good points there, brog, but I'll be surprised if we see him in the team again. Surely his relationship with Stubbs is at an end, and would he even try? It's gong to be interesting watching developments.

Removing all anger at him being a Hibs fan, you are actually bang on the money. He's supported them all his life never hid that fact either. He's going to better his wage as well. Ok play well this season and he may get a bigger team but what you need to think about is, maybe he wants to play for The Rangers before that big move?

I hate The Huns I really do, and Allan I'd love to slap around silly. But taking a step back if this was us after a player and he was a Hibby would be laughing away!

all he had to do was say I'm signing with them for next season, but I'll get my head down and do my best until then.....I think most people would have said fair enough....

[southern hibby]

Remember SA is under no obligation to accept any other offer, so if he is hell bent on going to them he will wait until January to sign a pre-contract. Not sure his mind would be right to play for us, whilst this remained the case

BF, I agree so don't play him again. Let him rot. Yes it'll cost us wages and we'll loose out on a pittance of a transfer BUT we need to make a stand against this happening to us every time someone thinks they're bigger than the club.
If he wants to play a whole season with the reserves then let him.

[bill the hibby]

I struggle to get it through my head as to why people would want to see the little rat in a hibs strip again...he's turned his back on the club!

"Scott Allan, He's one that we own"

[Sir David Gray]

I never want to see that ungrateful little rat pull on a Hibs top never again.

Allan, Allan get tae **** :aok:

Pretty much sums it up for me.

He doesn't deserve to wear the Hibernian strip.

I've no interest in seeing him play for us ever again and I hope he doesn't play another first team game for the next 12 months.

[TheHarpy76]

If a Premiership club puts in a bid for him then I fully expect us to sell him but the club is right to dig their heels in when it comes to Rangers. Sell him to them and we've conceded the title before a ball is kicked.

Just my opinion of course.

There is no chance Stubbs won't pick SA, that would defeat the clubs whole stance. What will be very interesting will be how he copes playing against them once he's signed a pre-contract and if it goes to the wire in the title race!

No, I disagree.

Your argument makes absolute sense of he was out of contract, but he's not.

He was happy to sign a 2 year contract last year, presumably he wanted that as he wanted a bit safety net in case he got injured or something, well that works both ways and it's not like he's currently in a job he hates with poor working conditions. If he was on £20k a week but rangers offered him £2k a week would he go as it was his boyhood team? Would he ****.

This saga is all about greed and a disgusting lack of loyalty, respect and even responsibility to live ny decisions he's made. We're asking him to see out a year of his contract, that's not a long time so he should have just sucked it up, trained hard and won his move there next year.

Little snake.

Cant argue with much of that to be honest.

The only problem I foresee with him remaining within the squad is the reaction by the rest of his team "mates". Your either with us or against us, there is no place at East Mains for halfheartedness.

I just hope the unrest is not something detrimental to the squad's morale or our seasons objectives.

It clearly had an effect on the entire club on Saturday so we know its dangerous to keep it around.

Fingers crossed we have a conclusion in the next couple of days, In Stubbs I trust.

[Hibs Class]

We've got one objective this season and that's promotion. So I'll be backing Stubbs and any player he sees fit to play.

[#FromTheCapital]

Wee fud, hope his career rots like so many before him with similar attitude.

Well said, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

[ArmadaleHibs]

If it was me, I'd let the little rat go to The Rangers tomorrow. with the money we get we might get someone like mcgeoch who I believe would come and play a big part. Allan at sevco would make the fixture even more interesting and it would add fuel to the fire and make it ALL the better when we beat them. And when we have everyone fit I believe we will give them a game. I would not let him wear the hibs green again. Ever. He's nailed his loyalties to the mast and it ain't for us

Ggtth

[McKenzie]

Ban him from the club unless he joins another club apart from The Rangers. Don't let him train, play or even attend games. Little rat. After all Stubbsy and the team have done for him, some respect to give them.

[StevieC]

I have a mixture of anger, frustration and disappointment ..

.. but my priority is getting Hibs promoted and how this is best achieved.

First off, there is no way that we should be selling him to the Huns, of that I think we are all agreed.

The next best option would be to sell to the highest bidder, so long as it provides enough money (and time) to strengthen our squad further for the coming season.

If, however, SA is to remain at the club then I see no benefit to our promotion ambitions to have a player with such ability (grudgingly conceded) floundering in the reserves on a first team players wage.

[Waxy]

There is no chance Stubbs won't pick SA, that would defeat the clubs whole stance. What will be very interesting will be how he copes playing against them once he's signed a pre-contract and if it goes to the wire in the title race!Not how i think.I cannot see how he can ever play for us again.

If his teammates are "disappointed" by his attitude, then Hibs will have no choice but to make Allan train on his own to avoid disrupting the squad. Should solve any questions over the level of training facilities that we are obliged to provide.

[sleeping giant]

Well done Hibs.
This could well be LD's defining moment.
