    Does anyone else think of Max Headroom with these crappy green screen press conferences?
    Ha! Yeah.... I dunno why they don’t just do it without the fake backgrounds.... they look terrible.

    Anyone else leaping between a heart and head scenario, the head saying “there are a lot of questions on whether he’s worth the risk” and the heart saying “I’d love to see Leigh in a Hibs shirt one more time”?

    Not really.
    Previously he was on a massive wage and under contract at Celtic which meant coming back to Hibs was always a total non starter.
    However, if as we all suspect Celtic don't take up their option to keep Leigh for another season everything changes and all the cards shift to Hibs side.

    Leigh would no longer be under contract so no transfer fee and he would have no contract for next season.
    If JR wants him offer him a tenner more than Hibs current top earner. A year contract with an option for another year.

    A years wage is no risk at all and as we all know he could provide the X factor to add to our current efficient team.
    Nothing to lose if JR wants Leigh.

    Sums it up more or less for me. Heart v head issue (and the heart is winning ever so slightly).

    If Celtic don’t take up their option, it could happen but I’ve feeling it won’t. I think Griffiths will opt for
    £££ before, despite the practical benefits of coming back to us.

    I do I think he’s had enough of selik I mean our fans can be a tad vocal
    But the “green brigade “ muppets are ruthless

    But I need to ask 1 question
    Can Leigh decline the offer of a year?

    The Celtc clause is rumoured to be £1m.

    We’d offer what, £200k or so?

    What do you think?

    Even as a Hibs fan I’d say he’d be mad to turn that down.

    No he can’t decline. Celtic have that option to trigger an extra year, Griffiths has already signed that when he agreed to the deal.

    It seems to me that Ron Gordon is pretty switched on about what is needed to drive revenue forward. A signing like Leigh would have fans snapping up season tickets and buying shirts. It would also give the club an fair bit of publicity, making sponsors and advertisers easier to get on board.
    There might be a small risk with him on the park, off it the right commercial head could make a bit of money.

    I don't see why the move would get more sponsors and advertisers on board. Doesn't everyone outside ourselves and Celtic think hes a wee racist pr*ck??

    Where’s that come from? The fellah in your avatar might’ve had form for it (loosely speaking), but what’s Leigh done? I’m curious.

    A few years ago he was investigated for telling someone to "go back to where they came from" during a twitter spat. It was all brushed under the carpet at the time, i dont believe he would be so lucky if he were to say it today!!

    Sings a daft football song and gets called a racist...even though the song in question isn’t?

    I don't think everyone thinks that at all....what he is is a big name, high profile player who is a Scotland international who famously scored two crackers against England at Hampden.

    It would be a good signing and it would excite the fans, but it wouldn't sell any more season tickets.

    You'll buy one, but you were going to anyway. A few folk who are swithering, might tip towards it, but they probably would do anyway, if we qualify for Europe.

    It would still be good if he signed.
    Buy nothing online unless you check for free cashback here first. I've already earned £2,389.68!

    Good luck with that if we get group stage European football. Drive up the price as much as possible on any player they're interested in.

    That's a silly statement.

    Way to get your fans onside. Tell them you've spent 50% more on your team than the team above you to remind them how poor your recruitment has been.

    Spending is one thing. Getting value for that spend is another. Ask hearts.

    Exactly. This just adds more pressure to Glass next season. If they aren't well ahead of us early doors then fans will be asking where all this extra dosh has gone.
