Dear Scott Allan...

[Northernhibee]

...we saved your career from the doldrums. We can just as easily let you sit in the stand, train by yourself for a year and put your career back in the doldrums. Let's see if Sevco want a player who hasn't played in a year. A loan deal or selling you to another club would be far too easy :agree:

Am I alone in wanting to see Hibs making a real, real further statement of intent here? You come to Hibs to give your all for the shirt and honour your word. If you disrespect the club or the support then you will not get the easy way out. No loan deals, no reserves game time, no mulling around EM spreading his negativity - don't darken our door again.

[ancient hibee]

No because they are in the football game and know how the world turns.

[SneakersO'Toole]

Dear S.Allan,

You are a liar. Hibs will always be bigger than any player. You should have learned this before you went down the path of disloyalty and deceit. Enjoy sitting in the stands eating our god awful pies.

Dear Scott

See ya

[Hibeesmad]

He knows that we won't sell to Rangers

He has basically already came out and said that he will do everything he can to help the team this season then go onto better things at the end of the season. He should have stood by that and then go onto sign a pre contract with Rangers if that is the move he really wants. But to come out and hand in a transfer request because of a ridiculous bid by our main rivals. It's unprofessional and I can only guess that it's his agents trying to push the deal over the line here, with a bit of help from the media.

[cleanyman]

Put in a good performance on Saturday.

As we expect.

[Greencore]

Dear Scott Allan, not the first time you have made this stunt. Didn't you do the same with Dundee Hibs? Look where that got you.

You have dis respected the club that puts food on your table. Let's make something clear here, we are not angry because you want to join sevco. We are angry because of the lies you told and how you said you wanted to repay us for our support by seeing out your contract.

You are replaceable, we have had better and we will have better in the future.

Thanks Scott.

[Allant1981]

Speak for yourself and not for me please.

So you think what SA has done is ok?

[bigwheel]

oh great, just what we need....a thread for more anger towards Scott Allan

[liamh2202]

Dear Scott Allan. Some of us actually would like you to do a job for us before you leave.. Come out and say you are committed here until you get your move and we will back you until that day comes ,,


As of yet he has not acted bigger than the club but it would be nice for him to confirm his intentions if rangers don't pay up

[ancient hibee]

So you think what SA has done is ok?

Of course-it's football.Do you think Hibs should never sign a player who's asked for a transfer?

Him handing in a written transfer request is surely evidence to show he isn't committed to the club?

What you expect ?

A thread telling him how appreciated and thankful his loyalty is to us. :rolleyes:

I was happy with broony thommo and caldwell playing after transfer requests and if Scott will still put in a shift for us this time is no different. No player is bigger than the club so if he will help us get promoted the club comes first

[bigwheel]

maybe I just hoped the hate and anger would stick to the ones already open...:confused:

[SneakersO'Toole]

Of course-it's football.Do you think Hibs should never sign a player who's asked for a transfer?

You think a player than has lied (on more than one occasion) and played his role in disrupting one of the biggest and most important seasons in recent times for us is within his rights? Aye, nae bother.

The guy is snake. Completely disrespected the club, Alan Stubbs, the first team and the fans who welcomed him.

He has played this whole scenario deplorably and frankly deserves to be treated like a wee laddie who has been told no.

[McKenzie]

Dear Scott,

Please never set foot inside our club again. You have showed total disrespect to both the club and the management team who have helped you get back to your best.

[Northernhibee]

FWIW I think we should have a super loud "There's only one Stubbsy" chant to show our support for his strength to say no to the ungrateful wee rat.

[Pretty Boy]

Of course-it's football.Do you think Hibs should never sign a player who's asked for a transfer?

There's ways and means of doing things.

[Waxy]

Why do people want him to play for us again?
We'll be as good as playing with 10 men.He's a fraud.

Not true

Is there any evidence of players not trying after handing in s transfer request?

[Michael]

He's been badly advised by someone. The best thing he could have done was sign an extension and get bought for a lot of money by a big club next summer. That way you are guaranteed game time plus a very nice wage. Derek Riordan made a similar mistake (although obviously he didn't alienate the Hibs support in the process).

[SneakersO'Toole]

Not true

He's a liar and and a troublemaker. Both past and recent history shows this. We are not a one man team. We are better off without him in the side and having eleven players on a Saturday who want to play for the club.

[blackpoolhibs]

Not true

Is there any evidence of players not trying after handing in s transfer request?


Stubbs did say he was not in the right frame of mind to start on Saturday, that affected the team. He does seem a bit of a drama queen going by what's happened at Dundee Utd and West Brom.

I'm not convinced he's going to play for us again, but if he does he will need to eat a huge piece of humble pie, and the fans will need to be very understanding and keep off his back.

Then come December or even earlier, the speculation starts again and this disruption starts all over again.

Is it all worth it?

[majorhibs]

oh great, just what we need....a thread for more anger towards Scott Allan

175k- then 225k- you are defending the huns daeing that? Sorry you are the judas allan or a hun! 225k? Seriously? So the hun & all its machinations & the wee rat that is allan is behaving well towards Hibs goal of automatic promotion this season? One, 1, reason for you to defend your stance?

[erskine-hibby]

From a first team regular to a development squad wannabe in one move...now that's some going.

Disgusting post IMO :bitchy:

The pies aren't that bad.

[marinello59]

He's not a rat (not a term I like(l) or a judas. He's just your typical modern footballer whose only loyalty is to himself.. Given his past history I can't believe that anybody is surprised. He is quite entitled to put on a transfer request and Hibs are perfectly entitled to deny him a move to our rivals this season. I can't be bothered getting outraged, he certainly ain't bigger than the team.

[Hibs1992]

Football is a funny/fickle game. This time of the year 2 years ago Luis Suarez was trying to orchestrate a move from Liverpool to Arsenal and publically stated his desire to make the move. He came incredibly close to inspiring that Liverpool team to the title after the move to Arsenal was shut down by Liverpool.

Funny things happen in this game and Scott Allan is still an exceptionally talented player for the level we are at just now.

If he is still with the club at the end of the window I would not be surprised to see him involved in the team. Good performances on the park have a funny way of making people forget.

Probably get torn apart for saying it but just don't think it is outwith the realms of possibility.

[bigwheel]

175k- then 225k- you are defending the huns daeing that? Sorry you are the judas allan or a hun! 225k? Seriously? So the hun & all its machinations & the wee rat that is allan is behaving well towards Hibs goal of automatic promotion this season? One, 1, reason for you to defend your stance?


so you took all that from my post did you....well, thats pretty er....ridiculous

Just because I don't want another hate filled thread does not suggest in any way I agree with any of these actions...it simply means we have enough threads for the anger...

as for your accusations - well, I think your Mum is calling in you for bedtime....

[Argylehibby]

That way you are guaranteed game time plus a very nice wage. Derek Riordan made a similar mistake (although obviously he didn't alienate the Hibs support in the process).

Interesting you mention Deeks, a parallel in many ways. Deek signed a pre contract with Celtic basically telling Hibs he wants to leave and play for someone else. Scott Allan has handed in a transfer request saying he wants to play for someone else. Both were the clubs best players at the time.

Deek signed a contract that put pressure on the club to sell him early which they did. SA has tried to do the same by handing in the transfer request but it's not worked as he had hoped. DR actually went as far as signing a contract that would put him out of football for a couple of months and would have delayed the signing for Celtic by a couple of weeks to make sure we got no fee unless we let him go early. SA forcing the issue would get the club money, seeing out the contract would get us no fee.

Derek is still a hero who some would still like to see sign again, SA is seen by even more as the devil.

He said he would. I can't remember him swearing it. I ain't defending him here by the way, I find the attitude of the player frustrating but all too familiar. That's fitba.
There is a positive to take from all this and that is that our club have stood up to Sevco. We will be stronger for that.

It would be interesting to hear the latest chats between Allan and his agent. I would imagine he may be thinking this isn't panning out the way it was meant to. This episode could end up being a major setback for his career. I'm proud the way we aren't folding on this. We just need to stand up on the pitch now.

[#FromTheCapital]

Why would we play someone who openly admits they would rather play for our biggest rivals this season? How would that feel to other players being kept on the sidelines every week.

Get him to ****.

Like we did with players previously mentioned. The only issue we has was Caldwell selling a goal against Celtic because he was getting abused by a section of his own support .

[SneakersO'Toole]

Like we did with players previously mentioned. The only issue we has was Caldwell selling a goal against Celtic because he was getting abused by a section of his own support .

So why risk it? One goal could be the difference between one and no points which could be the difference between winning the league.

The principle is the most important thing here. He has betrayed and disrespected the club. That equals the end of the road in my book.

[Onion]

Derek is still a hero who some would still like to see sign again, SA is seen by even more as the devil.

And the obvious difference is.... Hibs are in a head-to-head battle for promotion with the other club. If SA and his agent don't understand the significance of that, then they are in for a bit of a shock :greengrin This is unlike most other transfer battles.

[Greencore]

We pay his wage. We deserve better.

[hibee316]

No, the most important thing is how he will perform on the park. The principle has hee-haw to do with it!
The fact that he has said he wants to play for the club he supported as a kid, and everyone is spewing about it, is the reason I am glad most people on here have no say in our team selection!

I couldn't give a flying one if it's the club he supported as a kid or not.

He signed a 2 year contract with us when clubs, including his boyhood heroes, were hardly queuing up to sign him. Now he fancies a wee trip along the M8 and we should just accept it? I think not.

[hibee316]

He has openly said he wants to play for our biggest rivals to the championship this season and you are still okay with him pulling on a Hibs jersey? Thankfully you aren't in charge.

If he wants a move, he will have to perform well.
The question is do you;
1) not want him playing because he disloyal and it pisses you off?
2) not want to him to play because you think he won't try his hardest for the whole season ?

[hibee316]

Now he fancies a wee trip along the M8 and we should just accept it? I think not.

...but we aren't accepting it are we? He won't go to the the the Rangers.

So making him sit on the bench for a whole season is a wise move for Hibernian Football Club?
IMO that is cutting of your nose to spite your face. Hibs need to be the bigger party in this, and to tell SA to shut up and play for the team. If it means him not playing for a few weeks so be it. On his game, he makes the difference between winning and losing.

We now have a situation were a player who can sign a pre contract with likely our biggest rivals for the league in early December has handed in a transfer request because he sees his footballing future with that club.

I'd rather he wasn't involved in the 1st team.

[mcfly]

This is now a point of principal and I'm very proud that hibs are not being bullied into this sale.

Hibs pay his wages and as he says he doesn't wish to be part of the team he must therefore be removed from the 1st team training squad.
He's stated he doesn't wish to play for hibs so put him on gardening leave - make him attend every game. But don't give him what he wants.

This is however a big test of Alan Stubbs man management. How he handles this. Easy for me to say the above

Anyway better players than Scott Allan have left hibs. Forget him and back the players who want to help us win the league.

[hibee316]

As a fan, I probably don't either. But, he is our asset and I think he can still play for us. If Hibs don't play him at all this season,he is of no use to anyone. Therefor the cards are in our hands...

[lucky]

The transfer request has in my mine sealed his fate. He's not going to ibrox and won't play for Hibs again. His best hope now is a year off not playing 1st team football. Unless his useless agent gets him another club. Another player very badly advised. He must have known Hibs were never selling to Rangers

He will never play for hibs again. If we can't punt him, why not loan him out? Gets him off the books and takes the poison out the club.

[stantonhibby]

Probably a first but I agree with you. The whole thing is now a sideshow we could do without in a huge season for the club.

[Hermit Crab]

Because bibs are making a stand here and Allan will clearly not get his move to rangers, does anyone think he may well withdraw his request? A public apology would of course be needed if this was the case.

[Cod Boy]

He will never play for hibs again. If we can't punt him, why not loan him out? Gets him off the books and takes the poison out the club.

Wouldn't loan him out just leave him out the squad

[One Day Soon]

All so utterly predictable. From Rangers, from the player and from his agent.

Loan him out, let him rot in the reserves our sell him South. But no Rangers and no first team games.

Make no mistake though, losing him at this late stage of the pre-season makes title winning very, very difficult and the play-offs our best hope. Job done by Rangers in that respect, whether they get to sign him or not. They knew exactly what they were doing and I doubt they ever seriously expected to actually sign him.

All that bond with, and respect for, Stubbs eh?

[Sean1875]

Because bibs are making a stand here and Allan will clearly not get his move to rangers, does anyone think he may well withdraw his request? A public apology would of course be needed if this was the case.

posted on another one of the threads already but to me this scenario is inevitable. Soon as the window shuts he'll release a statement saying he was misled by his agent or something and that he's seen how much hibs have done for him and that he wants to repay the team and the fans by giving his best performances yet on the park. followed by him singing a pre contract with Der Hun in January.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

[emoji216][emoji216][emoji216]

[jacomo]

Dear Scott,

It's been a bruising couple of weeks. All this should have been kept behind closed doors, eh? At some point, you really need to have a think about who is advising and representing you and whether they are doing you any favours at all.

Anyhow, you've tested our resolve and discovered we won't let you go to Sevco a year early.

You've got the no. 10 shirt. Do it - and yourself - justice this season, prove to us how good a footballer you are.

[dmc1875]

I can't see any way round this situation now but to punt him, to anyone exept Rangers of course.

The speculation has already taken its toll on the fans, club and squad and will continue with him here until the end of August, and then again from end of December to end of January, when he will probably sign a pre contract with Rangers and get hell from the Hibs fans once again.

The media circus and constant news articles being fed by his camp to the media is a total nightmare for us as a club to deal with especially when we have such an important season to prepare for.

i do believe that if picked Scott allan will do his best for us until the end of the season, but "his best" isn't good enough because there is no way, wth best intentions, he can possibly keep up a level of performance with us and the media circus will plague our entire season.

I mean this in a nice way believe it or not, get rid. Now.

[Deansy]

It might have been different if he was an Aberdeen/Dundee Utd/Inverness etc supporter - but THEM ?. The 'Anti-Christ' of football, the Hun are the last 'club' (sect) we'd like to see a player of ours to go to. He's either being rather stupid if he expected this to go smoothly or he is a true Hun and just thought we'd give in meekly - SA needs to learn they're back to being just another team now they can't buy the game !!

[FitbaFolkKen]

He wants to sign for our direct rivals in this league which means he has a massive conflict of interest in every game he pulled on a Hibs shirt this season.

I can't foresee a scenario where he plays for us again apart from in the 89th minute on Saturday.

[EdinMike]

Screw um, let him sit in the stands for a season. Will you still want him then Huns !?

Never want to see him in a Hibernian strip again.

[PaulC]

Dear Scott, do one. Get out of our club.

[Flanny boy]

Stubbs did say he was not in the right frame of mind to start on Saturday, that affected the team. He does seem a bit of a drama queen going by what's happened at Dundee Utd and West Brom.

[worcesterhibby]

personally I think LD and Stubbsy have handled this difficult situation pretty well so far. They are closer to what is happening than any of us, they will no doubt be speaking to the other players to gauge their feelings on all this and doing their very best to keep a good vibe in the camp. IMHO it's Leanne Dempster and Alan Stubbs who should decide whether Scott Allan plays for Hibs again..and if they decide that he should , then I would hope that Hibs fans would respect their decision, back their judgement and refrain from abusing him. His is what's important, not Scott Allan.

[Big_Franck]

Don't really see the need to bring this thread up again. Allan cost us nothing and did well for us in the year he was here. Fair enough he was a bit of an arse at the end but we came out of the whole situation with money and a stronger midfield IMO.

I'll certainly not be wishing him luck but does it really make any difference to us whether he's playing for celtic or sitting in the stand?

Thousands in the bank and no career to speak off. Think what he could have done if he spent another year at Hibs.

Anyway irrlelevant, apart from possibly costing us 3 points at Dumbarton we have come out of the whole affair the better off.

What a strange post. You're right though - just think how good our results over the last few months might have been if we had had him in the team. Err.....

Your original post would only be correct if we had got rid of Scott and that in itself had improved us. Just his not being here made the difference. That would have said it all.

It is not that simple. Yes we sold Scott Allan but also made many other changes.

Our current success has more to do with the hard work being done at hibs and less to do with Scott Allan being here or not.

I loved watching Scott play for us - in fact - I'd go so far as to say he reminded me of why I love watching football in general and Hibs in particular. He has left us now and I believe his being here helped us move to where we are now.

I don't think he made the right moves over the summer but - hey-ho - who does when they're Scott's age. I wish him the best of luck. I actually think that, once he get's fit after his injury problems this season, he's got the potential to be an excellent player for Celtic. He might be just what they need (oh - maybe Scott plus an entire new defence and manager).

We've moved on and are now better than we were last year. Scott helped us do that.

[Scouse Hibee]

We have a far better team now than when Allan was with us, each player especially in midfield brings something different to the game and some do things that SA didn't. We'll never know if Stubbsy would have been able to create the same balance with him in the team and frankly I now don't care. Hibs have moved on to better things as a club, time will tell if Allan has done the same.

SA will be ok once Delilah learns how to use him. Remember that he was a slow learner in the case of Griffiths, who is now the dog's bollocks. Problem is that Delilah might get his P45 before he gets round to using Allan

[Bristolhibby]

Who did he go to in the end? Genuine question, just goes to show what's today's news is tomorrow's Chip paper.

Edit, just read the previous post, I remember now, it was a giant troll from the Tims.

He got injured in a reserve match and they had to change his insulin requirements since Celtic changed his diet so his body took about 6 weeks to adjust back that will be him back in things now.

Eh?

[The Green Goblin]

Your original post would only be correct if we had got rid of Scott and that in itself had improved us. Just his not being here made the difference. That would have said it all.

It is not that simple. Yes we sold Scott Allan but also made many other changes.

Our current success has more to do with the hard work being done at hibs and less to do with Scott Allan being here or not.

I think it's a bit of both, to be honest. I take your point about the changes and hard work, but I still think that getting rid of an inconsistently performing and unsettled Allan (and the effect that was having on the team) both improved us and paved the way for us to make bigger improvements.

[hibsbollah]

Something about his hair 'do' just stuck in my craw. Silly little blonde 'curtains' that was trying and failing to look like a Manchester scally in the early 90s. Hun hair.

This

[truehibernian]

We are not missing him quite simply because we have a very nice balance in the midfield area now - and more importantly energy and desire to win the ball back.

Robbo broke down too often and stood off too much, Liam Craig had no drive or pace and really doesn't offer any creativity - Fyvie and McGeouch can play the 'sitter' role very well leaving McGinn, Henderson and perm any one of Boyle/Carmichael/Keatings to play the tip of the diamond or wide.........all have incredible energy and movement.

The variety of play was evident midweek against Dundee Utd.......sometimes playing narrow, other times using width, all the time moving the ball quickly at pace.

Allan always wanted to go narrow and through the middle for me, and often didn't play the simple pass - terrific player he is, but his game intelligence let him down at times.

Compare with John McGinn and you get the 'complete midfielder' - tenacious, gritty, skilful, can score goals, can create, eager to win the ball back - and plays with his head up.

One player who is really impressing me is Keatings - for a lad to have been injured and to come in and perform so well in such quick time is superb to see. He actually reminds me of Leigh in his movement and desire to create chances for himself and he isn't shy to test the keeper. He'll be a big player for us during the winter games.

[Tricla]

Dear Scott Allan.

😊

[Sir David Gray]

Couldn't care less about him.

He was a total arse at the hinder end of his Hibs career, he wanted a move and he got one. We got shot of a player who no longer wanted to play for us and we now have a close-knit group of players, working really hard for one another and the results and performances are proving that.

[hibbymac]

Scott who?? :dunno:

Really no idea why you feel the need to post personal abuse. Whatever you think of him, his form during his time with us helped to finance the deals for Dylan McGeouch and John McGinn as well as most likely swaying the deal for Henderson. For that he has my thanks.....

Do me a favour.

His behaviour during the summer was deplorable and contributed to our awful start to the season against Dumbarton.

Considering what the club did for him last year, to treat us the way he did was out of order.

If you want to give him your thanks then crack on but he'll get none from me.

[Hawick hibee]

I also loved watching Scott Allan play for us and I am really pleased we got the opportunity for a season to see him. He has moved on and I for one sometimes think it would be a hell of a midfield if he stayed and we got in what we have now (I know this would not have been). Scott Allan got a big money move and I wish him all the best he is certainly good enough to showcase his talent there!!!!! Our midfield now is as good as we have had in years and credit to Alan Stubbs for building this after Scott's move. Let's just enjoy, the midfield, the team, the results, the togetherness and commitment of everyone trying to get us back to where we belong. No need to cast up past players on what they have have done they have left, its no as if he went to Hearts. Scott good luck but to Alan Stubbs and the rest of the boys keep up the good work it's the best I have seen for along time at Easter Rd.

[BroxburnHibee]

Certainly a cautionary tale for young footballers.

Money or career?

I don't think Allan will ever make a mark at Celtc indeed it wouldn't surprise me if he was sold to the Huns.

[JimBHibees]

Much better balance now last season it was the Scott Allan show and talented as he was there were weaknesses to his game. Talented individual but we have a better team now.

:agree:

SA never pretended to be a fan, and despite all the histrionics around him leaving there were still more positives than negatives over the year he spent with us. He was one of the players who helped implement a braver, more possession-based style of play (although I'd argue King Dom actually had a bigger impact).

He's undoubtedly a player with a lot of potential. But he's also naive - it shows how few 1st team games he's played. He just wants the ball - a good thing - but often missed the obvious pass. I'm not surprised he's had a stuttering start to his time at Celtc. Those players won't tolerate someone who won't pass the ball at the right times.

[J-C]

Scott Allan did what he was brought in to do and he played his part on getting us to the play offs but he tainted his relationship with the fans with all the Rangers nonsense in the summer. Remember, he's done all this before at Dundee United and had a bad rep for himself down south, so Stubbs was taking a chance with him, his true colours certainly came out in the summer and it was a 2 fingers to Stubbs and the club.

The team has a far better balance to it without Allan, too much went through him but now we have a midfield who all contribute in one way or another, so we thank Scott for giving us a good 1 year and we also thank him for being a wee prick and allowing us to have an even better midfield this year, no one is bigger than the club and I can see Scott's career going nowhere fast, he'll end up at somewhere like Partick Thistle in a couple of years time. :greengrin

I agree with all this except for the last part. He will eventually be reconcilled with the team he supports and will probably be a big success with them.

Dont think there is anyway Celtic would sell him to Rangers. Only way would be Celtic sell him he goes down south then comes back to Rangers. He signed a four year deal in August.

Was very interesting to hear AS on Sportsound last Monday. He mentioned that he'd spoken to SA on the sunday night and went on to talk about how he still has a good relationship, he knew at the time the game that Rangers/his agent were playing, but refused to allow them to win that battle and did not allow it to affect his relationship with Scott. Excellently played by AS. I suppose he's seen it all with things like that, like being around Everton when Rooney moved to Utd, and again when Utd were pursuing Baines.

I was surprised when Stubbs came out with this but I still say he gave the 2 fingers to him, club and supporters after he told everyone on HibsTV that he wanted to see out his final year at Hibs to gain promotion.

[Frazerbob]

From what I remember he never said that he WANTED to see out his contract but he would HAPPY to. Subtle but important difference which I and a few others flagged up at he time when everyone was creaming themselves over the interview.

Stubbs understands that SA is still quite immature, both on the field and off it. If he learns and develops he could still have a great career ahead of him, but that's someone else's problem now.

[KeithTheHibby]

We are a better team without Scott Allan. I didn't think I would be saying that 3 months ago however it is very evident.

Funny how when it's Scott Allan it's "2 fingers to the club and the supporters" but when it's Ian Murray it's "a short career, no room for sentiment".

You're right by the way, Scott Allan ****ed Stubbs and the club over horribly but so did Ian Murray, a so called Hibs fan who quite literally did give 2 fingers to the Hibs support.

Good riddance to both.

If you see my reply on the Ian Murray thread I did say I wasn't happy with the way he left the club but I understood why, money. Difference here is we gave Allan a chance to resurrect his career and he seemed ungrateful, Murray was badly led by his agent and burnt bridges with supporters. No real surprise you've came on to have another dig, it's what you do, the Hibs.net stirrer upper.

[21.05.2016]

We revived Scott Allans career and gave him the chance to play regular football again and I just feel that his tranfers request after the huns came calling was a slap in the face.

However in hinsight I think it was the best thing to happen to hibs, out of the scott allan deal we got henderson on loan and used the money to re-sign McGeough. Our midfield is fantastic atm and we are no longer so reliant on one player.

[IWasThere2016]

We are a better team without Scott Allan. I didn't think I would be saying that 3 months ago however it is very evident.

We have sorted out the back 4/5 ... and the frontline is stronger .. that helps also.

Personally, I still think SA is better than any midfielder we have - McGinn however should go on to achieve more than SA has.

[mutley]

On the whole SA affair, I hope we over take them, gain promotion, and they lose the playoffs and are stuck in the championship for at least another season. The tried to unsettle us and it backfired when SA ended up warming a bench at Celtic.

Had they not come calling, I think he might have remained with us. But we have a better team now without him.

While Allan was great offensively he gave the ball away far too much and rarely done anything to get it back. He had games where he was brilliant (4-0 Huns at home) but also games were he was a total passenger. We now have 4 more complete more consistent players in the middle of the park.

Disagree, the current midfields workrate is second to none. I think Scott Allans workrate wouldnt be high enough to play the current system in the same way as it is now, that whole midfield busts a gut to get forward and defend.

Ian Murray had 6 years and 141 games for Hibs before going to Rangers, I wasn't happy with the way he left but I understood money does talk, he only stayed there for 2 years, 1 year at Norwich and then another 4 years back with us, so10 years as a Hibs players.

Allan 2 years at Dundee U and worked his ticket after 8 ( yes 8 ) games for them, in his 2 years at W Brom he had 4 loan spells and made zero appearances for them before Stubbs took a punt on him. He came with a reputation as a bit of a troublemaker and a disruptive influence in the dressing room, yes he knuckled down but it didn't take him long to show his horrible nasty side again and decided it was time to work his ticket again. All the underhand crap that went on, all the lies on camera, he's had one good season in 5 years as a footballer, so far proved nothing in the game.

I don't think Murray and Allan are similar in what they did, Murray went for money yes, his move didn't go down well and his advise from whoever was giving it at the time was poor, I wonder if he'd left for a fee people would've had different views on Murray? Allan has done nowt in the game, been trouble everywhere he's been and left Hibs under a cloud after one season, he knew what he was doing as he's done it before at Dundee U, Murray made one mistake which he admits he did, Allan is just a wee ratbag.

My point being there are a good few who have left to go to Rangers and it isn't a present day thing, it's been happening for many years, Rangers and Celtic will always be able to offer more money and the chances of winning silverware. How the players go about getting their move determines what we think of them as people, you and many others have not forgiven Murray for the way he did it, I can forgive because he's apologised and accepted what he did at the time was wrong, Allan will never own up to the fact that the way he went about his business was wrong.

Funny how no one batted an eye lid when Griffiths signed an extension to his contract at Wolves when he went back, yes they triggered the one year on his contract but he signed for an extra year on top of that, he could easily have sat out that one year option they had on him and signed for us come the January. By signing for an extra year meant he was out of our price and the only club up here with £1m was Celtic, so much for being a died in the wool Hibbee, he knew what he was doing as his agent had advised him to get the best deal for him.

We have sorted out the back 4/5 ... and the frontline is stronger .. that helps also.

Personally, I still think SA is better than any midfielder we have - McGinn however should go on to achieve more than SA has.

SA has more raw talent, for sure - but so much to learn.

McGinn already has the media purring. I remember when we announced his signing, a couple of journalists were already making comments like "the next step of his development in becoming next Celtic captain".

Jim Delahunt watched us on Saturday and said "oh my god they are good" before saying that McGinn would be the next big money move to the english Prem "unless Celtic scout watches someone other than Dundee Utd going forward"

McGinn will go higher .. And we must continue to sign the best young players to improve us and "shop window" them.

Plus we need to remember that St Mirren apparently have something like a 30% sell on clause for him according to the Buddies chairman!
