Yes another excuse to bash Petrie, can't wait! Can't believe he forced all these international players on Lennon, played them out of position and benched and slagged them off in the media.... bloody Petrie!

[The 90+2]

Mallan Kamberi and Horgan all cost fees. We’ve just got Allan back on a 3.5 year deal and got Gauld on loan, a keeper from Liverpool and offered Efe a great wage. How on Earth is it the boards fault?

Cmon its the same stuff over and over,u gonny keep falling for it?should have been oot years ago.

[Vault Boy]

This phrase keeps being used without any kind of thought, evidence or sense.

Dempster and Co. Took a club that was just relegated, won its first Scottish Cup in 114 years, reaching another final on the way, before leading us to promotion and subsequently into the Europa League, twice.

To say they lack ambition is absolute nonsense, a perfect example of fans speaking without reason.

Ffs mate go to bed. Efe was offered a deal that, as far as we are all aware, was exceptionally good for what the club can afford.

Im no stirring up petrie stories geez a break,im sharing my opinion on events from the summer til now.nae need for the snarky stuff btw!u dinny agree fair enuf.lets hear your take on it then??

Agree mate we should have offered the £10k he will get somewhere else just to show ambition. Efe was Lennons greatest coup and I give him a lot of credit for convincing him to come to us both on loan and the permanently.

£10k a week, are you joking....

He will get it elsewhere not at hibs.

I was joking. I already said we offered him a great wage, best to our budget.

Ken, I was replying to the reply to my original post if offering him a great deal though.

Who said he wanted 10k?? I never suggested he wanted that!im no doubting good players want good wages ,but good teams need good players.we get sold the "we offered him the very best we could" story.

Efe cancelled his contract. There is absolutely nothing the club can do about that, other than what they did do, which was offer him new and improved terms.

The ambition shown by the club to secure Efe in the first place seems to be lost on your argument.

I wouldn't call Man United unambitious for selling Ronaldo, or Barca for selling Neymar.

A club can't force a player to stay.

Quite happily have more cups

[The Harp Awakes]

How do you know they backed him?

[DarlingtonHibee]

Yeah, agreed you are a joke.

[CMurdoch]

Calm down chaps you missed the sarcasm.

They did.

[Jones28]

How do you know they backed him?

Fees paid for Mallan, Horgan and Kamberi. Signed two Australian internationalists. Signed two loanees, one from Man City, the other is a Liverpool player who is keeping our number one - the Israeli second - on the bench. Scott Allan signed on a three year deal. Ryan Gauld signed on loan. Efe offered a bumper contract to stay, and even signing him on a permenant deal in the first place.

All since the summer.

Anything else?

[The 90+2]

Yeah, agreed you are a joke.

Ooft. Love you too big boy xx

[Jones28]

Deleted post, this place is confusing enough tonight

[tonyrougier123]

Id happily have more cups 👍 id even like to see us challenge for the title!but your no allowed to be an ambitious supporter it seems.just settle for mediocrity and credit cup wins and titles to the board.no egotistical ambitious managers right enuf.stubbs,lennon,collins all successful managers.all slated tonight.some doing that lads.👍

[The 90+2]

Sorry mate, get your point 👍

[CMurdoch]

How do you know they backed him?

Kamberi, MacLaren, Mallan, Horgan, Anyepong, Milligan, Bogdan, Gauld, Allan, Nelom, Mavrias, Omeonga.
That is hell of a backing for a Hibs manager

Names. What fees compared to what we took in on transfer fees? From LD directly 3 months ago, she said close season we spent £1m. I think we took in ~£4m, plus and we lost 3 top midfielders. Is that backing the Manager?

We didn't take take £4m in transfer fees straight away did we?!

If the rumours about McGinn are true we got something like £3m, but this, like most other transfer fees, is in instalments. They aren't cash transactions.

Too many short term patchwork signings,allan isny here yet either.when you lose key players you need to find new ones,that,to me anyway seems to be lost on ppl at board room level.your no backing a manager to get his own team in when you pack it full of loans and journeymen,who unbelievably got a cap at some point.we could have lost mcginn for nowt,the least we could have done was reinvested it in players like when we took that risk of bringing john in originally,a well executed bit of business.not replicated enough.mallan would be in that bracket kamberi also with horgan.mcginn was exceptional in talent hard to replicate players like that,but the process in getting him here im getting at.loans are fine if complimenting your sqaud,but I dont think you can rely on theese types of signings to be the nucleus of your team.

Do you have any idea of what goes on at East Mains and the set up down there? You're pointing the finger at the board. The board have made plenty money available but it's not a bottomless pit. We can only spend what's available and it's up to the manager to juggle the budget. There's a whole raft of folk working for him to try and get him what he's looking for. But just slag the board off anyway bud :aok:

We will receive the McGinn money in instalments and a third of the fee was going to St Mirren which leaves £2.7m for Hibs.
Hibs spent £1m in the summer. That is major backing for Hibs to give a manager. When did a Hibs manager last get to spend that sort of money. Probably never.
The next instalment will be used for player purchases and wages over the next 18 months after which we will be back to the basics of gate money, tv money etc until we make another big fat transfer fee. When will that be?

The Hibs team of the second half of last season was one of the best i have ever seen. Absolutely brilliant and a major part of that was down to the manager and the fantastic and brave changes he made to the strike force in the January window.
However, he has not been able to build a decent new team this season despite spending a lot of money. Wednesday was a new low with the team looking a disjointed mess.

Well it is. There is a football budget. Part of that will be allocated to support areas and the rest will be for the playing budget. That's up to the manager what he ultimately does with it. Is that so hard for you to understand?
