Tony Mowbray, whilst managing, coaching and picking the team was also responsible for announcing contract deals?
Absolute ****ing garbage more than bizarre.

Apologies, I never saw this. My recollection was that he gave him a new contract not long after the 06 semi but there was no announcement at all from the club. I can't think of us ever renewing a contract of a first team player at the club and not announce it to the press. There were rumours on message boards about it a couple of months later but no confirmation. I think it only came out that he had a new 3 year deal after Mowbray left.

He, Tony Mowbray though, sanctioned this contract on his own (without board approval?) and thereafter deliberately hid it (as you suggested) from the media and therefore the general public? And me a shareholder of this very organisation......bollocks.

There was no suggestion of hiding it from the board. His contract was renewed. There was no communication to tell fans about this. Rumours were rife on message boards. Eventually it was confirmed - I'm sure after Mowbray had left the club!!

My recollection was actually a 4 year contract but it was definitely announced when Mowbray was still here. I remember him indignantly talking about his 'highly competent' goalkeeper which really did make me lose faith in him.

There was definitely a delay in announcing it though.

How on earth would this be down to Mowbray? Managers announce contract renewals? The suggestion is that Tony Mowbray hid this deal from the fans.

Eddie Turnbull thought Roddie McKenzie could do a job for Hibs. Every manager makes mistakes in the transfer market. Every one.

I don't think it did. Let's talk about it at the next HSL meeting to make sure there's no likelihood of it ever happening again. Unless you're on Netflix that night.

STOKES SETBACK Neil Lennon’s Hibs fear they are about to be priced out of move for ex-Celtic star Anthony Stokes
SunSport revealed Neil Lennon’s desire to bring the Scottish Cup hero back to Easter Road for a third stint but Stokes has had other offers that ‘blow Hibs out of the water’ in terms of wages

HIBS fear they are about to be priced out of a move for Anthony Stokes.

SunSport revealed Neil Lennon’s desire to bring the Scottish Cup hero back to Easter Road for a third stint and after a series of talks with the striker both the Hibees boss and club chiefs were increasingly optimistic that a deal could be struck.

Stokes is understood to have told them that it was his wish to return and he took in Lewis Stevenson’s testimonial match against Sunderland last Sunday.

Complex, protracted negotiations between the player and Blackburn over a severance package to bring about an early end to his contract had stalled negotiations, but it’s thought an agreement HAS finally been reached on that front.

However, that’s alerted rival suitors to Stokes’ availability with the former Republic of Ireland international having had alternative offers that ‘blow Hibs out of the water’ in terms of wages.

Lennon is said to have told Stokes that he can get the best out of him – as he did during their time together at Celtic – after a troubled spell with Rovers.

Former Hibs boss Tony Mowbray is keen to offload the 28-year-old, who managed only four goals last season at Ewood Park, and said previously that his absence from the first-team squad was to do with ‘personal issues’.

As well as Lennon, there are others close to Stokes who have made the same pitch to him, advising that he would be better off back in an environment he’s thrived in twice before, but his head has been turned by more lucrative options.

Hibs haven’t yet thrown in the towel but are continuing to pursue other targets, with top scorer Jason Cummings’ departure to Nottingham Forest leaving Lennon with only summer signing Simon Murray and highly-rated youngster Oli Shaw to choose from – with Brian Graham having been told he can leave if he finds another club.

They retain an interest in in-demand Motherwell striker Louis Moult but, like Aberdeen, are some distance apart from the Steelmen in their valuation of the 25-year-old.

In a boost for the Hibees, they have agreed a deal to bring right-back Steven Whittaker back to Easter Road and – a move first reported by SunSport.

After formally cutting ties with Norwich, Whittaker will be unveiled next week after penning a three-year deal.

Whittaker said: “I am delighted to be back at Hibernian. When I decided to return to Scotland, Hibernian was the club I hoped to come to. While the discussions have taken a while, they have always been positive and I am very pleased to be back playing at Easter Road for the Hibernian fans, and I hope I can play my part in ensuring a successful return to the top flight.”

I still can't believe that anyone can quote or take anyone that writes of that rag seriously.

If you would actually pay attention to your sources rather than blindly dismissing them then you'd know that Kenny Millar is easily the most reliable journalist when it comes to Hibs transfers, doesn't matter what sheity paper he's working for

[snooky]

Reading this article suggests to me we're going to fail to sign Stokes. It almost sounds like it's been leaked to the Press on purpose to prepare us for the disappointment.
The scenario of us going for a popular player then failing to sign them just before the window closes has been played out so many times in the past. In fact, it's probably had more performances than "The Mouse Trap".
I'm still hoping he signs for us though.

Whilst Kenny Millar has his finger on the pulse when it comes to Hibs, there has also been a very noticeable softening recently towards Hearts related stories, perhaps due to his liking of Cathro, to which i find a tad bizarre.

No true Hibby can surely write anything remotely positive about them haha.

If other teams are offering wages far in excess of our offer then it's game over, he won't be coming to Hibs.

Yes this deal is dead in the water. The boys got bills to pay. But who would take him?

Underhand moves by the people at our club, deliberately hiding stuff from the fans, the part owners.
