Paul Hanlon

[DTS]

In talks with Aberdeen

[HTD1875]

Noooo

[DarrenSQH]

Surely he wont go.

No ambition if he only wants to play in round 1 of europe and not round 2.....

[hibee_nation]

Looks like he is off then, pity we will miss him.

[Steve88]

I hope the lad stays but Hibs really should get their finger out and get his contract sorted seeing as it expires soon.

[Diclonius]

Gutted.

[scoopyboy]

In talks with Aberdeen

Oh no he's not.:greengrin

Hopefully this wasn't just paper talk! Would love for Paul to sign a new long term deal and get us promoted!

[easty]

Not really. If Aberdeen want him, then it makes sense for his agent, or whoever, to make it public. Means Hibs will now have to offer a good deal to stay, to compete with Aberdeens offer, a good deal that he deserves anyway.

[Brightside]

Has held talks. Thats was already known. He also has further talks with Hibs.

Aberdeen aren't the only team waiting to take him if the Hibs deal doesn't improve.

[HibeeLR]

Cmon Hibs, give this legend a new deal, whatever it takes!!

[KeithTheHibby]

I think he will sign a new deal with us.

[hibee_nation]

Hope we get him sorted with a good deal he deserves

[nellio]

Hope we offer him a new deal.

Do we know that he wants to stay though? Might not want another season down in the championship?

[high bee]

I will drive him there myself.










Once he sees how dull and depressing Aberdeen is he will be straight back to ER.

[Jones28]

Surely to **** we can offer a good enough deal to attract him to stay, we just lifted the Scottish cup ffs :flag:

[Kojock]

Spoke to him on Sunday and he said he wasn't going to Aberdeen but was none committal about his ER future

[jacomo]

Obviously hoping Paul will choose to stay with us.

Hibs are in a better place financially than we were on Saturday morning. But, thinking about next season, more supporters = bigger budget for the playing squad.

I don't live in Scotland and get back to Edinburgh only 2-3 times a year these days, so buying a season ticket is something I can't really justify. But I will certainly be doing what I can to support the club.

[scoopyboy]

Hope we offer him a new deal.

Do we know that he wants to stay though? Might not want another season down in the championship?

We have offered him a new deal but it is poor.

100% he wants to stay.

He would play in the Championship no problem if Hibs can move.

[Michael]

Come on Hibs, give him what he wants! He's a legend!

[BroxburnHibee]

Best way we can keep players is get the season tickets bought!!!!

[FromTheCapital]

I heard if Hibs make suitable offer, he signs. He's going nowhere until Hibs talks are dead.

I presume he's not asking for anything ridiculous? He's certainly consistently among the top 4 or 5 performers at the club, any offer should reflect that.

Without being 100% I think we would stay easy if he was offered the same as what he's on now.

[lyonhibs]

So we're offering a cup winner a new contract on less than his current one?? :confused: :confused:

That's piss poor if true.

A correct interpretation of what I'm saying.

People shouldn't think he's being greedy, he's not.

[AndyB_70]

Season ticket sales keeps players at Easter Road otherwise we can't afford him.

[nellio]

We have offered him a new deal but it is poor.

100% he wants to stay.

He would play in the Championship no problem if Hibs can move.

In that case I hope the club digs deep and gives him what he deserves.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

If we can get better players in then fine......he does cost us a few goals over the season

[nellio]

Absolutely no chance we will be able to attract a central defender as good as or better than Paul whilst we are down here.

Although I do admit we managed to get McGregor who has been very good but I suspect he signed because he's a hibs fan himself.

[Disc O'Dave]

So we're offering a cup winner a new contract on less than his current one?? :confused: :confused:

Presumably the offer was made before he became a cup winner, and was based on a likely drop in income due to a third season in the championship, the lack of parachute payment, and of course the slew of comments on here, pre-cup win, about folk not renewing season tickets after being "let down by the team once again"

Presumably the altered financial outlook would allow us to review that offer. Presumably we should await the outcome of that negotiation before accusing the club of doing anything that's "piss poor"? no?

As long as that offer is reviewed upwardly and sharpish, then perhaps.

If the current offer on the table isn't off it and a better one of the table by the end of the week at the latest then a) he'll probably be an Aberdeen player and b) it would be piss poor of the club.

[FromTheCapital]

Agree. He doesn't want crazy money - he wants a fair deal. I believe (I may be wrong) we offered him a cut deal at the end of the season and he turned it down. New talks underway with Hibs though.

That's the problem with having a cup winning team. People want your players.

Hope he stays, but will not be the last to be temped over the closed season.

[SJM]

No talks with Aberdeen says Medals (you know Scottish Cup winner) MacKay :greengrin:greengrin

He wants to stay but think deserves a better deal, need to be sorted asap, heard a few huns saying he wants to sign for them :rolleyes:

[Iggy Pope]

Doubt he would be back at his old boy's house anytime after that mind....

Hibs will offer him a decent deal, if not he'll move on with everyones best wishes.

Given the goals we conceded this year from crosses, a big defender like Rob Jones in please :greengrin

[ancient hibee]

Wow a made up story in Scottish media.I wouldn't be surprised if Celtic took him.He's certainly no worse than anything they've got in the middle of their defence.

Wondered how long it would take here is what a big ball winning centre half thinks of Hanlon.

Hear Hear! It wouldn't break my heart to see Hanlon go.

[Lago]

But what is happening is the reality of a 3rd season in the 2nd tier of Scottish football

[KWJ]

It's a very important contract for him that I'd expect to take him through his peak.

Understandable that he'd want to make sure he's offered a fair amount. Hopefully the Scottish Cup win allows us to provide him with that but if not I don't think any Hibs fan could begrudge him a move to Aberdeen or better.

[Iceman1875]

Paul Hanlon is a must for next season. what would he cost per week, £1500? £72k in wages a year is worth a player of his ability IMO


At Easter Road we play...

[SJM]

Wow a made up story in Scottish media.I wouldn't be surprised if Celtic took him.He's certainly no worse than anything they've got in the middle of their defence.

Celtic? No danger. They don't bring in a manager at £2.5m per year to make the champions league to sign Paul Hanlon or a free. Would like him to stay but Celtic chat is mental.

[Nicho87]

Would hate to see him join any other scottish club or rangers. Sign him up

[SeanWilson]

You'd hate to see him leave though, eh?:wink:

Better player for Hibs than Rob Jones ever was. The facts can't be re-written.

Incredible.

agreed

[inglisavhibs]

Incredible.
It's not incredible. We have less season ticket sales, no parachute payment, and no TV coverage for our league.We were on TV many times this season and also had two fantastic cup runs which can't be guaranteed next season. We can't pay money we don't have and what we need is a surge in season tickets for next season. It's up to us to back the club after the best day in our football lives.

we'll be on bt sport plenty next year :wink:

Are you sure, Sean? I don't think there's a TV agreement in place.

[monktonharp]

[Mr White]

Are you sure, Sean? I don't think there's a TV agreement in place.

There is for the europa league :greengrin

[matty_f]

Get a season ticket. Sign up to HSL. But shares. Do whatever it takes. If we want Hanlon we need to give the club a wee hand here.

[monktonharp]

He wants to stay but think deserves a better deal, need to be sorted asap, heard a few huns saying he wants to sign for them :rolleyes:those people, and their comments are irrelative in the modern world. may have a few clusters in your home town, clinging to the old ways.

[J-C]

There is for the europa league :greengrin

And all the cup games, well most of them.

[Stantons Angel]

for gawds sake the laddie has just helped win us the cup!

lets keep negativity away for the closed season at least!

[SeanWilson]

Well our European adventure will most certainly be documented on BT :greengrin

[Saturday Boy]

Can't be 100% sure, but I don't think they showed ICT, St Johnstone or Aberdeen in this season's Europa League.

[Jim44]

100% he wants to stay.

He would play in the Championship no problem if Hibs can move.

This is the cost of our dire failure in the league this season. Scottish Cup was brilliant, but bread and butter league performance was always going to shape our future.

[SeanWilson]

Can't be 100% sure, but I don't think they showed ICT, St Johnstone or Aberdeen in this season's Europa League.

they didn't reach the group stage :wink:

[Criswell]

Can't really blame him for wanting a move. He's been at ER all his career, probably on a fairly basic wage so I imagine he's looking for a move to the English Championship at least to boost his earnings and seek new challenges. I would be amazed if he went to Aberdeen. If he does go he can leave with the knowledge that he has attained the status of "Legend" after Saturday.

[The_Sauz]

WTF..When did you become the HSL PR Guru on .net:grr: Ozzy....get him telt!








































:na na:

[The_Sauz]

No TV will be a blessing! Just think all the games will be on a Saturday, and if that happens, more will come through gates :agree:

[MWHIBBIES]

No TV will be a blessing! Just think all the games will be on a Saturday, and if that happens, more will come through gates :agree:If we make the Europa league groups (we won't) then we'll have 6 Sunday games...

[superfurryhibby]

Hanlon must stay. C'mon Hibs, get it sorted!

[Tom Hart RIP]

Aberdeen paper says Paul's agent Gary McKay says there have been no talks between him and Aberdeen
