"I haven't been told they are not there," the Hibs boss said when asked if such resources were available.

In other words, he could ask. He wouldn't get.

Something going oink just flew past my window. The Tache would have heart failure!!!

[Sir David Gray]

No danger that we'll pay more than £700,000 for a player in the next week.

[Spike Mandela]

We always appear to be open to ridicule.

We don't choose headlines but 'Hibs manager aims high in transfer market' is then followed by signing.....Martin Scott of Ross County.

Why do we always look so foolish

I genuinely don't think he would, i think he would point at his office door, calmly say oot and then pish himself laughing where he sat

1. Enough of the 'spend lots = good players' claptrap.

2. Folk demand comments from the club about spending and player acquisition strategy, they get them then promptly declare them all nonsense.

3. So we might be signing a guy from Ross County, big deal! Who the hell are we like to consider that to be beneath us? Aye a player from a Scottish Cup Finalist side from a division that's seen plenty players go on to success in the SPL, the Championship and now ones heading off to the Premiership. But no, First Division players are a sign of tight fistedness at Hibs apparently, unless it's Leigh Griffiths of course.

Honestly, let's see what happens in the rest of the month and how our new signings acutally play rather than judging them on where they've come from, 2 minute YouTube clips or that they look fat in a photo on Google Images!!

No doubt if we did beat the record it would just have been done so it could be used as a 'stick to beat anyone who dares to question the Board' judging by the reactions to us apparently spending £3 million on players in recent seasons.

Calm yourself Scotty B

Nobody is saying a Ross County player is beneath us(far from it) but it is a wee bit away from the headine in the article of 'aiming high'.

As for the spend lots = good players claptrap equation well we would actually have to try it first to see if it worked. It is CC that mentioned breaking club transfer record after all

The closest I can remember us getting to doing this was when we signed the likes of Sauzee, Latapy Mixu, Zitelli and De la Cruz. Claptrap right enough

Nope he was asked the question.
Typical hibs.net at the moment though. I reckon this could go to 4 pages on the back of a random hack question he answered.

The question was answered 'in principle' (not concerning this particular transfer window) and so the headline should more accurately read:

Calderwood would not rule out asking board to break club transfer record for the right player.

But of course that's too long a headline and also its far better to make it 'topical' and slightly controversial by relating it to the club's current woes and need for transfers, thereby meaning the piece will grab much more attention.

I am told a certain Mr. Harper cost us a pretty penny.

Oh there's enough of it on other threads! Obviously spending big on guys like that is a good idea, but then conversely our recent big spending attempts include Miller and O'Brien! It was more a comment aimed at those who think players can only be good if they cost lots!

So far they've done exactly what people wanted them to do, CC bringing in a player he's worked with in England and Adams a guy from his experience in the First Division.
