A bit vague all that, but also a stand naming deal ...

"Winning promotion and going straight back has to be our aim, and to do that automatically we need to win the league."

That'd be pushing it a bit for me. I'd rather be very good friends.

I hear its apple as our shirt sponsor and microsoft for the stand. Makes sense if they are the american consortium.

[Hibbylad86]

Sounds promising and anything that can help boost the coffers can only be good news. Interesting that it was only stand mentioned as part of a naming deal rather than the whole stadium?

Very positive statements and intentions which you would expect. But talk is cheap, we have heard it all before and until we start seeing real change it will be another false dawn

[Heisenberg]

Why not just wait until the official announcements? Seems a bit daft to be putting out a statement saying we've got sponsors but can't tell you who for two weeks. Good news all the same.

Fans want progress updates and this is one. Any good news story at the moment I'd be rushing to push it out if I were hibs.

I think it's the 'good news' part.

A lot of fans are desperate to hear something positive and also to hear exactly what they've been doing. I think this meets both of these criteria while, as you say, leaving some of the details until the official announcement.

Oi! I didn't mean you, my heart belongs to Leean

The deal with Crabbies expired and a new shirt sponsor was always going to happen but like any contract it is tiered. Therefore remaining in the premiership would have meant a better deal and it will have been discounted due to championship.

The stadium naming rights has been muted for a while so it's no surprise but staying in premiership would have had a premium.

Russell and the team work very hard and we are lucky they are at Hibs and they should be congratulated in a very difficult time.

These deals were signed a while ago based on where we were at that time so it's no coincidence that this story has broken today. Drip feeding the supporters with targeted good news is done in every business especially politics.

The funds derived from this sponsorship will have to be used wisely and how much will be invested in the team that is the question. Add to that the lottery, the hibernian directory enquiries should be significant!

So Leanne thanks for the good news , how will it be spent and when is Rod leaving! Nothing changes with this announcement.

No one is telling anyone anything anymore. Maybe we should be sponsored by the masons. On second thoughts the Huns have got there first

Thought that said "club secures two major signings".

Had to read it twice

The word you're looking for is mooted, not muted.

Muted means to stay silent, which most fans have been complaining about. At least they are telling us some of what is happening behind the scenes.

However, this is the first time I have heard anyone at Hibs say our aim is to actually WIN the Championship, which is much more significant than any of the details of those deals.

I've really no idea. For me a stand naming deal, even if we hadn't been relegated, is more likely to attract a local rather than a national company. The names of individual stands are rarely cited in the media and concern mainly the fans attending ER (other than people paying specific attention).

In saying that, it could well be something like Crabbies continuing their association in a scaled down way.

Could call it the Crabbit stand.

I sponsored Hanlon yesterday. I think that's what she's going to announce.

That would be the West Stand then?

The big thing in that for me is that we have been told that our aim is to win the league. Not to hope for a play off spot but to go for it. I could cheer.
