I think it would be measured Sauzee will have been on decent money before us and that is what drove his wages, Stokes is getting a decent wage or was so thats why he xan get more.

Not a chance but if you won't read other comments that explain why you are wrong then do bash on.

Ok then, I never once claimed it was the case an opinion is all it is, everyone else thoughts are also opinion if no copy of a wage slip (which if course there will not be) if he signs is forthcoming nobody will know bar him agent and club. Are any of these posters you mention privy to seeing the books at the club this week? If no then guesswork exactly the same as me. I do not see anything saying im wrong I just see other opinions. Getting 4/5 or 6k pw could constitute "one of our highest paid players ever". I do not recall me or anyone saying the highest.

Bash away.

[BegbieHSC]

C'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Stokesy! Just say aye!!!!!

[Keith_M]

So, the situation is the following:

He might be signing.
He might not be signing.
He might have already signed.
If he signs, he might be our highest paid player ever.
If he signs, he might not be our highest paid player ever.
He might be going to the Dons.
He might not be going to the Dons.
He definitely doesn't like Elvis Impersonators.



Well, I'm glad that's cleared up...

...and a date with destiny on 12 Aug in Govan awaits, for the returning hero, for the first fixture between Hibs & Rangers since *that day*

If you're Anthony Stokes, there's no better buzz surely, than walking out into the Bear Pit, a gladiator, all eyes on you.

Their eyes might be on him but none of their players would be able to get anywhere near him.

[Lago]

To be honest I'll be surprised if he signs, but happy if he does, having said that think it's time the ITKs stated givind us a few more names to speculate around.

[Captain Trips]

I wonder if there is a "pay off Elvis" clause in contract.

I'm sure players around that time in the early 2000s were getting paid handsomely for appearance money!

Was that not why we had to stop playing O'Neil and Fenwick under Williamson?

I think if he does sign, everybody should dress like Elvis at his first home game to celebrate.

I do not know who is our highest paid player ever but if this is to come off I think Stokes will be up there.

Ok then captain.

Or we could crowdfund it...if he signs. (Almost typed sings by mistake).

Lol, how strange it would be if the fans raised £200,000 for Stokes' Elvis payment when the HSL are looking fro £100,000 for the the club!!!

Iirc O'Neil signed for us as we offered him 3k a week plus 3k appearance fee. Hertz offered 4.5k with no appearance fee. O'Neil was a great signing as was Fenwick but the appearance money was a lot of dough then. Still glad we got them both though.

£7k per week was reported when he took Hibs to court for the remainder of his playing contract when he was sacked as manager.

I'm sure sauzee was on £6.5k a week and latapy and zitelli £4.5k. I would think mcginn,ambrose Marciano are probably on £3k a week plus got a decent signing on fee. There was the initial sky money which allowed us to pay sauzee and latapy those wages but that ended when sky pulled out.

[Mikey]

Didn't the club rack up a debt of around £18m around the time that Sauzee, Latapy, etc, were at the club? It took the sale of the car park to make a dent in that and we're still paying it off.

Sky didn,t pull out. We dumped sky and joined up with another crowd who went bust (setanta ?). Went back to sky who told the SFA to go do one. If we had kept with sky we would have received part of the billions available to English teams.

You really think Hibs agreed a 4 year deal with SJM at £3k a week when signed him from StMirren? There is no chance of that being true which then brings into question the rest of your wild speculation on players salaries

Where are these figures coming from? Are you in ITK or are you just pulling wild guesses like everyone else?

Sauzée's wages were reported during the court case. My recollection is £7k per week, but it may have been £6.5K. It was definitely there or thereabout.

Stokesy was seen leaving Easter road about 12.45 pm, let's hope they've reached a deal !!

Add on his 3k appearance money and it's 10k or 13k if there is a midweek game .
And he was worth every penny .
