Well if someone’s first bid was 3 million then no obviously not because you would imagine there would be room to ask for more.Quote:

How big are the clubs-any names? I rate him very highly. His weaknesses are all solvable, he looks pretty complete to me and is a born leader.Quote:

The general consensus seems to be that 3m+ would be a great deal for hibs at this time, which i agree with, and i think the same applies for turnbull and well.
Anyway, i am very hopeful of seeing porteous captaining hibs and playing for scotland before he moves on to bigger things!
Whilst he’s still with us [emoji16]

The same person also told me that Hibs were in advanced talks to be sold to rich Americans.
Both of which I assumed to be nonsense.
I’d agree with the last sentenceQuote:

Look at Manchester utd and the Glaziers

Can't argue with that, as things stand Ryan will probably get a large number of straight reds in his career. That said, the level of aggression in his game will also mean that plenty strikers just don't fancy going up against him at all. Which is handy.Quote:

Unless there is a dramatic new TV deal on the horizon I don't see why anybody with cash would invest in a Scottish football team?Quote:

Don’t necessarily disagree with the general point you are making however people said the same about Abramovic when he got involved at Chelsea, nobody could see how he could make any money out of it.Quote:

ISTR that Abramovic loans Chelsea money and charges high interest rates on the loans. You don't really think that rich people spend their own money to buy and run football clubs. The Glazers acquired Man U with bank loans and promptly loaded the debt onto the club's balance sheet.Quote:

On the American owners, haven't heard any direct claim of that but someone did mention that various comings and goings of people at ER of late had led them to that conclusion. As vague as that.Quote:

Some of his sources are very well placed and spot on. I've had some top notch info from him before.
Some of his sources are absolute slavers and full of nonsense, and when you pass on stuff that came from them then you look like a complete numpty.
I've got to be careful passing on info from him because it is very difficult to sift the diamonds out of the absolute turd.
FWIW I sort of believe the Porteous one. I think both Hibs and Porteous realise we have a very saleable asset there and will be keen to capitalise as much as possible. The priority is most certainly not a long and successful sporting career with Hibs, although it will get nowhere without a strong start here.
Hibs obviously think it will help his development, not sure why anyone would view it as some sort of business decision.Quote:

I just cant see why anyone would want to buy a Scottish club unless they have an affinity with the club/city
The day will come when I spend my lottery winnings though on Hibs because I will do it for the love not the glory or reward :greengrin
Every decision to offer or award a new contract is a business decision.Quote:

Yet another free transfer shows what we already know. The Rangers are skint.
I actually think Stewart will do well for them though. If it's something Rangers do it's create a lot of chances.
Where’s he going to play and for who? Ryan Kent replacement on the cheap and ineffective on the wing.Quote:
