Scott Allan - signs a 4 year deal with Celtic

[spike220]

I cant see SA going for anything less than 3.5m.

Given the importance to Hibs this season.

If we get promoted and he was to sign for longer and we developed him and he proves himself further, I think we would be looking for 6-8m for him.

[liamh2202]

Don't think anyone is going to pay hibs that money for any player

Bit early in the day mate...but I'll have some of what you've been taking 😁😁😂

[muthillhibee]

6-8 million? Haha wow must be strong stuff you have with your cornflakes

[Geo_1875]

£1 million (as quoted in the Sun) would be a great piece of business for player with a year on his contract. If any team but The Rangers offered that we'd have to consider it.

However, we'd need to sign him on a 10 year contract at £15k per week before any club would offer more than a couple of million.

What is he worth to Ranger though!!

At least 3.5 I'd have thought!!!

[Smartie]

We'e got to remember the league and the "market" that we're in. Nobody will pay that much for a player in this league.

I do think that there will be poorer players than Allan transferred for sums like those you mention though, some of the players leaving Ipswich for huge sums cause me to raise an eyebrow. That's what happens in England these days.

[since90plustwo]

Scott Allan is a fantastic player but he is playing against part time players on the whole. 1-1.5 million would be a good price for him. With a year on his contract and someone offered £750k then i would be inclined to accept.

[DH1875]

SA won't sign a new contract with us so we're never gonna get millions for him. Any club offer a million for him he'll be off and so long as it aint rangers then fair do's. If he stays this season and we go up then he can leave for free with my best wishes, even if it is to der hun.

[Future17]

At least 3.5 I'd have thought!!!

Guaranteed promotion wouldn't even be worth that to Rangers right now, never mind one player who may or may not make the difference.

You're either on crack or craic...

I wouldn't worry.....it's just the weegie media doing what they do best in stirring up trouble trying to upset players!

I often actually wonder if the daily record and co are on their payroll as it's worked so so often in the past!

[Juice-Terry]

I think if anyone but Rangers offered £1.5M now he'd be off. For some reason, I think that's about the valuation Hibs have put on SA - maybe they'd want about £2M from Rangers.

[HappyHanlon]

1 million for a player in his final year is fantastic - but i'd honestly be sick and lose a bit of respect in LD if the deal was allowed to go through.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

3.5m 😂😂😂😂

[Hfc_Since1875]

I know Ciftci is a good player.... but why should we have the attitude that £750k is decent for a player with a year to go when Dundee Utd received £1.5m for Ciftci who was in the same situation?

[GreenLake]

If anyone is making offers to buy players, it should be us to them - if they had any worth taking.

[Iceman1875]

What is difference between staying in the championship and SPFL? That should be the cost plus xxxx to recruit a replacement.


At Easter Road we play...

[Diclonius]

Option A: 1 million from Hibs' direct rivals for our best player. Gives us money to spend on players worse than our best player, and immediately strengthens our direct rivals.

Option B: Hibs refuse to sell our best player to our direct rivals, giving us our best player for another season and a better chance of being promoted, meaning we will get as much money in the long run as if we sold our best player to our direct rivals.

It's not rocket science - unless we are really REALLY ****ing stupid (or Petrie tries to stick his nose in) we will NOT sell. It would be suicide in terms of our chances this season and the club's relationship with the fans.

[Mathias Jack]

I wouldn't sell him to Rangers...end of. If we did, we'd be as well asking the SPFL to hand Rangers the Championship trophy at the same time.

In all honesty, i'd rather keep him for our promotion push and let him make up his own mind at the end of the season.

[Sir David Gray]

If we got an offer of £1 million for him we would need to bite the club's hand off as we're talking about him playing in the second tier of Scottish football at the moment and he only has 12 months left on his contract.

I would rather keep the player though.

Let's leak a story: "The Daily Record understands" that Hibernian will not take no for an answer from The Rangers and are determined to buy one of their star players like... em... er... no, forget it. :greengrin

[My_Wife_Camille]

It's a strange situation where we have a player who's market value is way lower than what he's worth to the club due to the league we're in. If we were a Premiership side then we'd be able to demand upwards of £2m for Scott but realistically there's nobody going to pay that much for a Championship player.

With that in mind, selling Scott now simply cannot be an option. I honestly think we would find it almost impossible to find another player of his quality on our budget.

The value to this club of getting promotion is worth way more than whatever transfer fee The Huns are willing to pay.

[bigwheel]

The only way he will end up at Rangers is if he publicly declares his desire for the move, and even then Hibs could force him to wait until end of season....There is too much goodwill to be lost from there fans - even if a 1M if was to come from them....I expect others to be in for him though..

[Biggie]

when have hibs ever NOT hitched their skirt up when a club comes sniffing around ?.......if the huns offer £1m we will accept for a player in the last year of his contract. £1M to hibs would be heaven sent in current climate.

Pretty pissed off, but no more than when we sold O'Connor, or Riordan......or O'rourke, Stanton, Cropley....Stein, Baker

[lochhibs]

The fact is Warburton was at the dunfermline game. According to the sun that means he was looking at SA. In reality he was probably watching his teams biggest rivals for the title.

[lucky]

. Hibs should just come out and say he's going nowhere. SA can't afford to down tools as he's only had 1 good season in his career. He needs to keep playing to keep himself in the shop window. For Hibs to sell him we be a major let down. It would effect ST sales, HSL membership and general good will towards the club.

[Golden Bear]

I'm a trusting person, believe what I read, so SA is going nowhere in the foreseeable future ------------------ RIGHT?!

[McKenzie]

Anything over 1.5 million I'll drive Scotty there myself. As good as he is I'm sure Stubbsy could replace for that sort of money.

[Gus]

I know Ciftci is a good player.... but why should we have the attitude that £750k is decent for a player with a year to go when Dundee Utd received £1.5m for Ciftci who was in the same situation?

Ciftci has played what 2 or 3 seasons in the SPL and scored goals. Allan to date has played a very good season in the 2nd tier of Scottish football against (majority) part time players.

Let's not kid ourselves there is NO loyalty left in contracts, if Rangers offer £500k plus for him then I think his head will be turned & he may ask to speak to them at least.

He can sign a pre contract in January, if that was to happen that would have an impact on the remainder of the season.

At this momemt in time it appears to be all paper talk so hopefully it remains that way.

[Vini1875]

I would take £1M from any team other than one in our division.

[Geo_1875]

I'd be more worried about a The Rangers player trying to crock Scott on Saturday than them spending any money on him.

[jacomo]

Can we stop all this please? Almost as if half the people on here are wishing him away.

[Ringothedog]

Can we stop all this please? Almost as if half the people on here are wishing him away.

more than half....sadly. If he gets sold then it will all be down to them. Karma!!:grr:

[The_Horde]

We've proven in the past that selling players doesn't always mean we use the money wisely.

Taking that into account, Scott Allan isn't worth selling. He brings far more to us than £1m ever will. Triple that at least for the huns and we might be talking.

[Springbank]

I'm a football fan.
We have a smashing player with a touch if class, a touch of arrogance, the most enjoyable football since 2007 for me.
Let's build the team round Scott Allan, stop trying to suss out financial value and just enjoy this gem of a guy in a Hibs jersey.
A great season of football lies ahead, with a midfield pair of Allan and Fyvie. Glory glory!!

Spot on.

Players like Allan don't come round often on our budget so we should want to hang onto them when they do.

The chances of us being able to adequately replace him (transfer fee as well as wages) with any money we might get for him would be slim to none.

I say we enjoy him whilst he's here.

[Golden Bear]

I think we should lodge a counter bid for Nicky Law and Lee Wallace.

Why not? - it would sure upset them and I'm sure our bid would have as much chance of being accepted as ra Huns supposed bid for SA.

[Pretty Boy]

Can we stop all this please? Almost as if half the people on here are wishing him away.

Exactly.

The club have said he's not going, the player has said he's not going, the only formal bid for him was thrown out in January, Rangers have yet to make an offer, the latest speculation seems based on Warburton being at East End Park on Saturday and journos putting 2+2 together.

As it stands nothing has changed from yesterday, last week or last month.

[B.H.F.C]

Yep, getting a transfer fee doesn't bother me whatsoever. I'd much rather keep him for the season and lose him for free as it'll give us a much better chance of promotion, which does bother me.

[phoenixfire]

What If we were unfortunate enough to have our bid accepted

[allezsauzee]

The Rangers have only been signing out of contract players (mainly unwanted ones) so it would suggest they are not about to bid a million for Scotty.

[Golden Bear]

What If we were unfortunate enough to have our bid accepted

Fortunate or unfortunate?!

[Keith_M]

Public Announcement that Scott Allan will be going nowhere for anything less than £5 million.

There were only three part time teams in last seasons league.

If SA wanted to stay he just has to come out and say so!, he hasn't because he wants to go and join the huns, he's a supporter, he's a weejie and he will join them whether now or next season. This is a dilema for RP, he wants the money as usual, but he know's their will be a riot if he sells, particularly to the huns! By the way, where are all the interested parties, so far I heard that Ipswich were interested, but for a player supposed to be that good you would have thought we would have been fighting them off. Maybe they are a bit wary because he's been turning it on against part timers in the championship.

Take it you are on some good s**t if you think that.

[21.05.2016]

If hibs were to sell Allan it may undo a lot of the good the club have done recently in building up a feel good factor and building up fans excitement again. The club is on a high atm, there is a real sense of optimism about the new season, ST sales are up, the new strips are flying off the shelves, the share issues seems to be going well etc. so to sell a key player like Allan could really put a downer on things.

If a club other than the huns offer very good money I can understand us considering it but we absolutely CAN NOT sell to the rangers. Selling our best player to the rangers, who will most likely be our biggest rivals for the title this season, would be absolute suicide IMO. The club have put out a huge statement of intent by coming out and saying that the title is our absolute number 1 aim this season so such a sale would really undermine that.

Put yourself in Stubbs' shoes.

Say a £1m offer was made for Alan and you're given the choice - either hold on to him or use the money to add 3-4 players to the squad at £3-4k per week.

What do you do?

He's repeatedly said he wants to stay till the end of his contract. He couldn't have made it clearer. I've no idea how you've come to the conclusion you have.

[HibsNutter]

He is going NOWHERE this Summer, how many people including the man himself need to state this.

[Thecat23]

If anyone offered £1m for Allan Hibs I think would bite their hand off! The Rangers don't have £1m so that's them out. Also Hibs would have to really think hard about the impact selling a player like Allan to them would have on the fans.

They have built many broken bridges and the fans have stuck with the club even though they kept prices high when relegated and not only that we didn't go up. So if they did do the unthinkable (which i personally don't think they will) then I can see fans chucking it once and for all. Because if The Rangers got him and won the league, it would be the biggest slap in the face for us in a long time.

[bingo70]

For me it's not about finances, the big concern for me is player power. If the Huns turn his head with a good offer and he wants to go then it's difficult to keep him, particularly if he starts making noises about signing a pre-contract agreement.

Obviously we can hold him to his contract but we need to weigh up the impact of having an unsettled player.

[matty_f]

Has anyone said we should sell him for the money?

We should definitely keep him this season, I'd rather that than sell him.

As I said I don't think they will either. But it's not up to me and if it did happen then my last sentence is valid!

[Pete]

It's just an effort by a Glaswegian paper to give Rangers fans something they want to read. They like to think of themselves as a big club who are in a position to take players off others using cash and the fact that players simply want to play for them. It's classic "giving your mind a treat" stuff.

We might have sold if we were bumbling along in the top tier but we aren't. The situation is totally different to anything that's happened before and would harm us a lot more than any previous transfer.

It's not going to happen this season.

[greenlex]

Quite simply if Scott Allan is sold to Rangers this season then this will be my last season ticket. I don't make that Statement lightly.

The problem is we traditionally do ok for numbers of players. What we lack is any of real quality. If we sell SA we would be losing the only real class in this act.

The price of 750k or 1m isn't a good value deal for a player on a limited contract. It is the price we'll have sold our promotion hopes for.

He must see out his contract. This isn't an accountancy decision it is a football one.

[DH1875]

If rangers come in with any bid they can duck right off. If SA comes out a couple of days before the end of the window asking to leave, then he can duck off as well........right to the reserves. If said it before. Would rather sell him for 500k to anyone rather than sell him to der hun for a million.

I don't think it would be that easy! Losing a player of Allan's ability and replacing it with players who aren't as good doesn't won't make us stronger! Add in the fact the fans would go crazy, Hibs would be commiting football suicide if you ask me!

My season ticket would be handed back if we sold him to our closest rivals for the league.

Hibs have said Allan will not be leaving, the player has said he will see out his contract on the official site, he has absolutely no obligation to do that as he could have sat quietly and said nothing.

This is going to drag on right until the close of the window. Rangers are desperate to get the fans on side, a few have started questioning King after he bragged about spending £5M and thus far has brought in a bunch of out of contract players from down south and still not replaced the players they saw leave at the end of last season. If there's money there to be spent what are they waiting on? Allan is an easy option to appease the fans, it potentially causes unrest at ER and they have a friendly press to trumpet their case. If we are either leading the league or we'll in the hunt come November or December you can guarantee the pre contract rumours will go into full swing.

I see this playing out as there being an 'bid for an undisclosed sum' that Rangers know Hibs will never accept in the next few days, Hibs will reject it then the press will be primed with stories of how it was an 'ambitious bid' and an 'unnamed source' reports Allan is 'furious' it has been rejected. The succulent lamb brigade that make up the majority of our sports press are as predictable as they are boring.

It's not just the press trumpeting.

As a support we choose how we react to this. Online forums muddies the water but hello! no sense in speculation ahead of a big game. This is a sideshow-diversion we've seen it a hundred times before. Know it, expect it, stand firm against it. Post window can we not put this to bed and give the management some credit. There's also a small matter of Stubbs to consider here. It's just a pile of crop.

Answered your own question then. Let's not prolong a pretty awful thread.

[keep the faith]

If SA wanted to stay he just has to come out and say so!, he hasn't because he wants to go and join the huns, he's a supporter, he's a weejie and he will join them whether now or next season. This is a dilema for RP, he wants the money as usual, but he know's their will be a riot if he sells, particularly to the huns! By the way, where are all the interested parties, so far I heard that Ipswich were interested, but for a player supposed to be that good you would have thought we would have been fighting them off. Maybe they are a bit wary because he's been turning it on against part timers in the championship.

Wow!!

[hibees 7062]

Answered your own question then. Let's not prolong a pretty awful thread.

:aok:

[Onion]

The Club sent a pretty obvious message to the support by putting him front and centre of the away kit launch, if people still want to worry about him leaving in this window them let them have their fun, but it's not going to happen.

Huns and weegie press are still living in La La Land pretending they have the kind of money and clout to manufacture these kinds of transfers. The most they'll get out of this is the pretence that they're a "big club" and give their new manager some false hope of being able to weaken the opposition while strengthening their own squad. Their posturing has as much credibility as us saying we're going to bid for their best player.

In saying that, every player has their price and if someone comes up with silly money Hibs will sell.

[Aldo]

1. LD is the CEO and deals with the day to day running of the club!
2.SA has already said he's happy to see out his contract at ER and he is happy at ER.
3. FWIW he can join who he wants next season as he's out of contract. (Unless he signs an extension that is and we will then get a few).
4. Why does it matter he's from the west!
5. Your last few sentences have convinced me of something. YOUR ON A BIG FISHING TRIP with those comments. Plain and simple for me anyway.

Just saying like.

[truehibernian]

Hibs should set the price - simple as that and either calls The Rangers bluff or puts the pressure on their fans for the club to stump up cash.

My price would be £1.5 million (based around Lewis McLeod and Nadir Cifcti's recent valuations) - if they pay, we lose a good player but not a world beater - if he was the former we would have won a cup and/or got promoted - if they pay we also have money to get in Dylan, Callum McGregor (no info just a player who I think is perfect for Hibs) and have some money come January window.

I seriously doubt The Rangers have that amount of cash to hand - my gut says we won't see SA play for Hibs when the window closes though. Other clubs will come in I think and a bidding war will start.

Why do Hibs have to set a price.

[Pretty Boy]

Why do Hibs have to set a price.

They don't and shouldn't.

Setting a price suggests he is actively up for sale, he's not.

[cmcd]

Big L How many *** times do you want Hibs to tell you he is staying. I think its time this thread was closed

[MrRobot]

****ing hell, can we not just stop going on about it? He's not leaving this window and he won't be here next year. Hopefully he will sign a new contract so we get some money.

He will 100% not go to Rangers. At least this year anyway.

[AlbertK86]

Not in team or bench tonight but confident he is staying with us

The Sevconians mob will be getting all carried when they see he ain't in tonight's squad

[truehibernian]

Why do Hibs have to set a price.

Because my gut instinct is the boy wants to go but has high high regards for Stubbs (and Hibs) - his best mate has just moved there too which is an additional pull.

Of course I don't want SA to leave or be sold - I'd like him to look at Stevie May and use him as an example of rewarding a club who stayed true to the player and helped his career - May was loaned out twice, took on board advice, learned his trade, won his place in the Saintees first team, won a cup, got a Scotland cap and won a move to a big club down south - that is what I'd like to see Scott do. Extend his contract, push for promotions and the cups and then see where we and he are next year.

For me though this is a bigger test of Leeann's resolve and football plan - and whether there are other moustachioed influences :cb

[Jim44]

They are absolutely creaming themselves on FF at SA's absence tonight. They are convinced he has decided to join them.

Would be great if he orchestrated their downfall and revelled in the celebrations

[Alfred E Newman]

Quite simply if Scott Allan is sold to Rangers this season then this will be my last season ticket. I don't make that Statement lightly.

That would be my feelings as well, in fact this years ticket would probably be returned in the post .
I could understand the club accepting a realistic fee for Allan which would be a blow to the fans but selling to Rangers would be totally unacceptable . I am quite sure the board are fully aware of the likely backlash from the supporters and I would imagine Allan going to Rangers is a total non starter.

[Sauzee07]

Plain & Simple.

Hibs will not sell SA to The Rangers.

He may move on to another club but there is no chance Leeann Dempster will entertain the new club from the West, and I'm pretty sure she will have told SA agent that as well.

"No contact" story in EEN...

Someone is making up the rumours. It's either a media keen to keep up the pretence that The Rangers are still in the game (and have that war chest after all or an agent's 'come and get him' briefing. Or, simply, we could be playing them this weekend and it's a standard spook story.

Answers on a Gregg's napkin.

Expect to see pictures of him in a Rangers strip as a bairn, "sources" quoted "close to him" saying he wants loves it at Hibs but the pull of Rangers is strong.

Time for Hibs to make a stand here. What actually is the point of supporting a team who would sell their best player to their closest rivals in a must win league situation of a season?

[Ronniekirk]

Did hibs not say they would welcome a bid ,so they could knock it back ,which they have .This is typical brinkmanship by that Mob ,and we now really need to stand firm and show them we mean business . If of course the player is being tapped up ,we all know the next stage will be a quick further bid ,that they expect us to reject ,and then look to S. A to make it public he wants away .
Be interested to know how much they actually bid is was it remotely serious money ,I suspect not

[lord bunberry]

I hope we also told them not to bother trying again. I'd love to know how much the bid was.

[Aldo]

Erseholes. Hibs better stick to their guns, I'm sure they will.

[Brightside]

I honestly think if they go to £1m the club will be tempted. He is the best in the league by a mile, but how often can Hibs give a manager £1m to buy new players?? I personally don't want him sold...but its a lot of money.

[Aldo]

Correct, it would be a scunner, but for us every player has his price, particularly when he has a one year deal. It has to be top, top dollar or no deal from Hibs now.
He can't be for sale to rangers for any price

[Thecat23]

I text a poster on here early on about this. The Rangers manager expects Allan to be there by next week! I'm not going into details but we will be very lucky if he's still with us!

I can't believe it myself, but Allan could well be a Huns player come next week!

[Aldo]

That would be a joke bid. Get tae **** huns. If sources on here have indicated an opening bid of 550k then I am happy to believe that! They are however a long way off I would suggest in the clubs valuation!

From the article

That said, they don’t expect Rangers to abandon their bid to lure Allan, a lifelong fan of the Ibrox club, to Govan, but they fully understand the part he has to play in Hibs own promotion bid and the danger of undoing all the hard work over the past year of rebuilding the relationship with supporters which was so sorely strained by the shattering blow of relegation.

To that end, Hibs will continue to rebuff any moves, confident that come the close of the transfer window at the end of next month Allan will remain their player.

David Hardie has his ear close to the ground for all things Hibs

£6k a week £500k with add ons! If Hibs sell then it's game over from me.

[truehibernian]

I honestly think if they go to £1m the club will be tempted. He is the best in the league by a mile, but how often can Hibs give a manager £1m to buy new players?? I personally don't want him sold...but its a lot of money.

Alternatively the 1000 lapsed seasons could renew and fans could invest into HSL :aok: and keep Allan :agree:

That reads like an 'indirect' statement from hibs:greengrin

[B.H.F.C]

What if Allan wants to leave though?

Do you think he does?

[CB_NO3]

£6k a week £500k with add ons! If Hibs sell then it's game over from me.
Same from me. I would happily sell to any other club in the UK before them. I would rather sell to Hertz before them. If Allan really wants to go to them then surely he can wait one year and give us the one year he is due us.

[Hibs90]

What if Allan wants to leave though?

He doesn't this season. Horses mouth.

[Gmack7]

If we sell to newhun we are giving up on winning the league and effectively saying that we'll take our chances in the playoffs
NO FU££IN DEAL

[3pm]

£6k a week £500k with add ons! If Hibs sell then it's game over from me.

Game over even if he wants to leave?! :greengrin

TC, What are you hearing mate, just to clarify?

[truehibernian]

What if Allan wants to leave though?

I posted yesterday TC that the boy wants to go (my instinct) - Hibs should say £1.5 million, one payment immediately, 20% sell on - and Hibs then get in McGeouch, Henderson and McGregor from Celtic :aok:

[truehibernian]

...and my next gut instinct will be Scott handing in a transfer request

[hibbytam]

What if Allan wants to leave though?

then tough ****, he's under contract with us for another year, and he cannot go to our main league rivals this season. Simply put, rangers cannot put a bid in that will make it worth us risking our chance to get back into the top league.

[Brightside]

I posted yesterday TC that the boy wants to go (my instinct) - Hibs should say £1.5 million, one payment immediately, 20% sell on - and Hibs then get in McGeouch, Henderson and McGregor from Celtic :aok:

id take that...

[Thecat23]

TC, What are you hearing mate, just to clarify?

I'm hearing there is a very good chance he's off! If he doesn't go I'll be very, very surprised! The fact the media called some of the Rangers players to ask them how they feel about "Allan joining" says to me the manager is confident of getting him.

If I were Hibs is stand firm!

[GreenCastle]

deja vu....

The timing would be horrendous if he was to leave though still 40 days till transfer window shuts.

I think Allan will stay with us this season but we are going to have constant stories trying to unsettle him and us! :rolleyes:

The thought of him playing for them one day doesn't sit well though...surely he has more class and further ambition?

[Thecat23]

Couldn't agree more!

Which Hibs would reject

[Aldo]

TH your terms sound ok but they will pay nowhere near that! Not ITK. Would be happy getting the trio from Smellic tho!

[Lago]

So much for the theory that rangers don't have any money to spend on players.

[GreenCastle]

I posted yesterday TC that the boy wants to go (my instinct) - Hibs should say £1.5 million, one payment immediately, 20% sell on - and Hibs then get in McGeouch, Henderson and McGregor from Celtic :aok:

Probably take that also - as long as they were all permanent deals and not loans. Not quite sure how they can afford anywhere near £1 million though ?!!

The chances are Hibs wouldn't invest all the money we received though..

[Hibs90]

They could also just be putting crap bids in to appease their fans. I don't believe for a second they have any money. Their signings so far prove it

[flash]

I think if the above is true it's now about holding out for the best deal possible.

[Iceman1875]

Can't see this happening at all. Most they would pay IMO is 500k for a player with one year left. I would defiantly take those three though!


At Easter Road we play...

[itslegaltender]

So much for the theory that rangers don't have any money to spend on players.

Depends on what the actual payment terms offered were!

My guess is that they are cash rich in terms of season ticket sales but have no reserves to see themselves through the season. Typical Huns.

[Peanut Shaz]

If Hibs sell SA to The Rangers in this window I'm done. This is a monumental season for us and SA is a vital part of it. All the goodwill and rebuilding of trust built up will be eradicated in one fell swoop. I'm Hibs through and through and have stuck by them through thick and thin for over 40 years, but this really would be the final straw for me.

[truehibernian]

id take that...

....I think this has always been the contingency the minute Deila stated he'd allow McGregor to go on loan to another Scottish club. We could buy Dylan for a nominal fee and get two loans in - I'd take that in a minute as McGregor is a right talent :agree:

[Ronniekirk]

Im told the bid was 550k.
As a first bid if that's true it's a serious start so the gloves are indeed off .Wonder if King is prepared to bankroll this one Transfer to destabilise us and attempt to give them an impetus re other potential signings .
We certainly won't get any bid of that amount in January

they may also have come in with a serious bid just to test our metal ,and they will have an upper limit they are prepared to go to but will look for S A to publicly state he wants away before they would go to that ,in the hope hibs fans start saying we don't want to keep a player that is stating he wants to play for rangers .a lot of potential ways to play this one and psychology a Big factor .

If on the other hand the Evening News article is right re amount ,it's laughable ,and they know theycan't get afford him slate looking to unsettle him and see if he will go back on his statement to date that he is happy to see out his contract at hibs

[Green Fish]

If he wants to go he can go, next summer, before that is business suicide and LD will be fully aware. After what the club has done for him I just could not believe this to be true.

[Danny_Hibee]

This is make or break time for me with what Hibs keep telling us they are trying to achieve. We seem to have shifted our focus dramatically away from chasing quick money at every opportunity to a much smarter approach of making money long term by building a successful team, putting in some real football foundations and most importantly getting the fans back on side.

I hope the board realise just how much damage they will do to all the great work that has been done since Leeann arrived if they sell Scott Allan to that mob. IMO no amount of money from 'them' would compensate for the Hibs support taking that massive kick in the baws just as we are trusting the club again.

[Thecat23]

I posted yesterday TC that the boy wants to go (my instinct) - Hibs should say £1.5 million, one payment immediately, 20% sell on - and Hibs then get in McGeouch, Henderson and McGregor from Celtic :aok:

They would all improve our squad mate but sadly the bridges built since we were relegated would be blown away and that could really harm the club at a time when we need everyone pulling together in the right direction.

I understand your frustration but if he wants to go history shows it's almost impossible to keep a player under those circumstances.
If we get a good price and reinvest it all on players who want to play for us that has to be the best solution.
If he doesn't want to go then keep him regardless how*much they bid.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I think if the above is true it's now about holding out for the best deal possible.

It would have to be a very, very good deal, flash. Scott would be integral to any promotion challenge, and losing him to another Championship team would create great unease in the support. Let's hope it resolves itself in Scott staying, but if he goes to that mob, it has to be for big money, or he sees out his contract.

[QMU-1875]

Alternatively the 1000 lapsed seasons could renew and fans could invest into HSL :aok: and keep Allan :agree:

Working well so far right enough... Think these lapsed fans and others need to realise the reason we might sell him or not attract quality is because they ain't buying season tickets or going to the games. 7-8000 or whatever we are on is a joke for this club.

[SneakersO'Toole]

Spot on. Absolutely no deal with that mob regardless of figures. This isn't about money, ita about principle and the club standing up for the fans.

It's all about whether he agitates to go.

[Libby Hibby]

No player is bigger than the club and if SA wants to go the we should get the best possible deal for the club...if he wants to stay then Rangers should be told to bolt...ball pretty much in Allan's court

[Smartie]

I suspect a lot of people feel this way. it would be stupidity if Hibs sell to Rangers

I agree.

He's the first player we've had who is that good for a while.

Hibs might be forced to sell him but it MUST not be for less than he is worth and it MUST not be to The Rangers.

Forget about all the talk about people not going back to ER because of Petrie etc. The one thing that will wipe thousands off the gate at Easter Road next season would be selling Scott Allan to The Rangers.

[truehibernian]

They would all improve our squad mate but sadly the bridges built since we were relegated would be blown away and that could really harm the club at a time when we need everyone pulling together in the right direction.

Can't allow this or a player to detract from our goal - if you have a player who wants to leave you can't carry him as he won't be 100% each game.

For me I can't believe nobody from the Championship have taken McGregor - he is exactly what our midfield and left flank needs - Henderson flourished on loan abroad and has exactly the mentality Stubbs looks for on and off the pitch, and we know what Dylan can bring - indeed, Scott often meant Dylan was plaing deeper which is not where he is best.

I'd like to keep Allan but I am definitely not seeing this as a catastrophe - far far from it - money in the bank and 3 really good additions. Our games v The Rangers will decide where this championship goes for me. Scott was a standout in one of our games, decent in two and sadly way off the boil in the play offs against them. That is why I think we need to calm down and see what Stubbs has up his sleeve, which I am certain he does mate.

[Peanut Shaz]

Spot on. Absolutely no deal with that mob regardless of figures. This isn't about money, ita about principle and the club standing up for the fans.

Spot on. This is way beyond money. This is about the club and their new relationship with fans. SA signed a contract. I don't care if he wants to leave or not. He signed it, he honours it. End of.

[Dobosz83]

Lots of posters look resigned to defeat here. There's talk of people being done with Hibs if they do this as its business suicide. I totally understand that however, if the guy want to pull on blue and makes that clear, he has to go as he'd be a rotten apple as well as our best player.

I got called a drama queen for voicing a little concern regarding the pre season prep, injuries and Allen saga. Can anyone really say we are in pole position to get promoted here...

[Fergos]

IMHO this is all about whether SA wants to go or not.

I'm quite sure that LD doesn't want to or would sell if she had the choice.

However.....worst case scenario...he goes....he's been brilliant in the most part for us but we wouldn't fall apart without him and I'm sure most of us are confident in Stubbsys ability in getting in a few decent replacements should he be given the candy to spend. And how much would it benefit if we were to hold onto him and he did want a move to them?

I understand folks frustrations IF we do sell, including my own but I'd still go and watch the Hibs. We aren't SA FC.

GGTTH

[Radium]

SCOTT ALLAN LATEST: Rangers' bid so low it only took Hibs seconds to dismiss it. Fresh one anticipated though. http://t.co/rsHQ0eKhsV

If Hibs have briefed the EN then the story suggests that they get what selling Allan would mean

Erseholes.

Hibs better stick to their guns, I'm sure they will.

Me too.

Modern football is pretty much about player power / agents sadly.

If he plays Saturday I think it will tell us quite a lot.
