If its true, its a sensible decision by him

[HibbyDave]

Good Luck Spoony.....just NOT when you play against us!

[Bishop Hibee]

No real surprise. Good luck Spoony and thanks for some good memories esp the winner v them.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Good luck Spoony.

[Treadstone]

Hope he gets a decent reception back at ER in December.

Cheers Spoony.

[KWJ]

Hope and believe he'll do well for them.

[Heisenberg]

This site is going to break when he scores a winner against us next season

[LancashireHibby]

Bit disappointed really, although he flattered to deceive sometimes, he did show what he was capable of on a few occasions last season.

Genuinely wish him the best of luck.

[Judas Iscariot]

No loss

Frees up a wage for someone far better

[Waxy]

Very bad news.Will come back to take a chunk out our ass.

[easty]

He'll be a good signing for them. I expect him to have a good season.

[Just_Jimmy]

Lets hope liam craig gives us more than wotherspoon did. Bit sorry to see him go but probably best for all parties that he has a fresh start. Home town team as well.

Im sure he will.

Im happy with this as I think its the right decision by all parties. I really wish him the very best of luck in his future career, he needed to move on and I hope he goes on to become a huge success in the game. If this means we will look back and think we should have kept him if he des great for them and goes onto becoming a great player in the future then so be it, this is the right decision by all concerned IMO. What will be will be in the future, nae goals against us tho please Spoony.

P.S does anyone know if Wothersponiesta is part of the transfer deal, that .net transfered him to a Saints forum at the same time?

So what if he does now and again? That doesn't make it bad news. Whoever replaces him might perform for us more than once every few weeks. That would be good news.

[WhileTheChief..]

Wont be missed, good move by Fenlon.

[Barney McGrew]

Good luck to him, no doubt he'll be happy with a move to his boyhood team.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Not his biggest fan, far far too inconsistent. The importance of his winner V them cannot be underestimated though.

[lucky]

Good luck to him think he is going to need it. Just not consistent enough

One of the most frustrating players I have ever watched play for Hibs. Could be outstanding at times but these were sadly in the minority. Felt that the first half of last season he had finally cracked it with us, found his position on the right hand side of a four man midfield, beating his man regularly, showing good skills and the odd good goal. Then second half of the season failed to make an impact even when we were really poor.

The phrase "there's a player in there" definitely applies. Someone has got to find the player and get it out of him on a regular basis. After four seasons in the first team at hibs i think it is fair to say it is was not happening for him at ER and it is the correct decision for him and the club to go elsewhere.

It may come back to haunt us but sometimes you have to make a decision based on the past and the present, the been and gone and the here and now rather than the what ifs and maybes of the future.

Believe him and his family are all mad Saints fans so this will have swayed the decision. Wonder if he had other options. The pre-admin Yams were heavily linked so we'll never know if he was destined for them now. Always felt he would leave this summer and go to another SPL team. To be honest, he would do a turn for anyone out with Celtic if they can get him playing. Good move for him and Saints.

I fully expect him to score or do well in a Saints win against us next season or in seasons to come. He may even do well in general. If this happens "meltdown" of the board should be avoided as I think most will agree, based on what we know now, this is the right decision for all concerned.

[Pat 0-7]

All the best Spoony.

Hope you get a hat trick on your first home SPFL game of the season...........

[Fergus52]

Good luck Spoony, cheers for the memories

Right move for us and him, no doubt if he scores the winner against us there'll be hundreds of posters claiming we should have kept him.

[TheFamous1875]

A fresh start is perfect for him. Could be the making of him. Not his biggest fan, but sad to see him go, as he has the potential to be a great player. Hope he goes from strength to strength, just a shame it wasn't to be with us.

I hope he doesn't get booed (doesn't deserve that) but don't want to go over-board on the reception he should get - he is not some sort of returning hero.

For me, he deserves no more of a reception than for example the likes of John Rankin but you don't always get what you deserve. Rankin unjustifiably gets pelters from the Hibs fans when he plays against us but for me he never gave anything but his all for us. I'm not always convinced Wotherspoon gave 100% committment100% of the time.

[BH Hibs]

All the best Spoony

[MB62]

We get Liam Craig from them, they get Spoony from us, very happy with that piece of business.

D.W. is a Saints fan so he will be delighted and might get more game time to prove himself. Thanks for the odd good times Spoony, a wee bit disappointed you were never more consistant as that's what was the big let down to being a really good player.

[LeighLoyal]

Thought he had his best season last but if he's surplus then good luck. Thanks for the cup goal vs the beggars.

[frazeHFC]

Really liked him and was a joy to watch at times. Sad it never worked out though and good luck to him!

[Dunderhall]

A good move all round I reckon.
For whatever reasons he never played enough, and consistantly enough when picked, for him to be a big loss.

Hope it works out for him.

Rankin never scored a winning goal against Hearts.
