Petrie

[Hibbyradge]

Big up.

[Berwickhibby]

Spot on Mr Radge

[ronaldo7]

He has pushed the boat out on this deal.

Fantastic signing and should put bums on seats, and then get them off again

[Hibstrooper]

Credit where credit is due.

When you look at the money we've invested over the past couple of seasons on players and also on the training centre how anyone can have a go at Petrie for not splashing the cash is beyond me.

We have probably spent more on transfers over the last 2/3 seasons than most of the rest of the SPL combined (excluding the gruesome twosome of course!)

I can see Stokes and Deek forming a great partnership.

Ah but he wasn't banned for being outrageous, he was banned because the owner was a Sunderland fan and heard Keane describe the nightclub as a distraction to his players so banned him.

That must have boosted his motivation no end....

Well done Rod, Now get Barr in and maybe see the ST's increase... and your wallet.





Well done to big yogi as well

Petrie,

Get this sorted big time!!

[Keith_M]

Yeh, but the last time I was at ER, my seat was squeaky. I'm not going back until it's fixed.



Petrie, Get it sorted!

A wee announcement on the East Stand as well?

6 months back I was wondering if I'd ever feel like watching Hibs again.

Of course, you have to bear in mind that he's not running a REALLY BIG club, like erm, what's their name....

[Cropley10]

Lets keep hold of Bamba - off load a few of the fringe players - sign Darren Barr right at the end of the transfer window and the job's a good un.

Mon the Board...

One other team beats us. They spent over £7m in the 3 years to 31 July 2008.

Guess who.

Great piece of business but can't see us splashing big bucks on two signings in one window to be honest. I'm happy with one anyway...any more than that is just greedy

[Caversham Green]

Rod seems to be getting a lot of the credit for all this, but Scott Lindsay's the CEO now - maybe there's some of his influence appearing

I felt there was a bit of a sea change in our signing policy after he took over, but that coincided with Mixu taking over as manager so it's difficult to judge.

PETRIE!!!

[Phil MaGlass]

we may sign another big name if we sell Bamba, hopefully we can keep Bamba until after the World Cup where hopefully his value rockets.

What we're seeing is the board delivering on the promises made some time back, when everyone was urging them to shell out money we didn't at that point have.

We're now in the position to go out and acquire players like Riordan, Stokes etc as a direct result of the board's position.

Steady and sustainable growth was what the board said they'd deliver - IMHO, that's what we're getting and I think the outlook looks very, very bright for Hibernian FC's future.

I know. I took that into consideration before starting the thread.

Petrie gets all the blame, so i decided he should get some credit.

The great thing is as well is that we're dong it at a time when all our rivals are making cut backs, if we'd thrown money we didn't have at players a few years ago it still wouldn't have been enough to compete with hearts and we'd still be competing with aberdeen who were spending more on wages than they could afford at the time.

[J-C]

Well done RP, good to see him opening the purse strings and backing the manager, so much for the Petrie and Yogi will never work with each other nonsense.

Yes as I thought at the time - no point in following the lemmings over the cliff. Wait til they've had their glory and downfall and in a game of "last man standing" I'd bet on Hibs. What goes up must come down and that goes for the Premiership too - Pompey/Liverpool anyone. Interesting to see that News International - parent company of SKY IIRC - are looking to ditch one of their papers - thelondonpaper. Focusing on their core business but just goes to show they are looking at costs as well. Will be interesting to see what the next contract looks like when the negotiation starts...
