This is why I don't see how us or Aberdeen or even god forbid Hearts can be expected to ever win a league title again.
You cannot assemble a squad that solidifies itself and starts to make a title push before clubs down south (not even big ones) start circling. Millions already being thrown at Nisbet, Doig too.
I'm not saying that this squad per se would be future title contenders if left alone, but we'll never have the chance to find out because of the way modern football has gone. There's no time to build anything.
Jean-Marc Bosman has doomed us forever.

It worked at the time, but it wouldn't now.

It's built on sand and will hopefully collapse.

Until we get 30K+ fans in every home game we as a club will always be behind the 2 ugly sisters and will have to sell our better players every now and then to keep our head above water. We scrape about looking for for bargain free agents or pay for talent and hope to develop them like McGinn, Nisbet etc, we occasionally get a good talented youngster who we develop but we than have to sell because it helps balance the books and helps pay for the training ground etc.
Gordon said his ambition was to double the wages within 5 years, unfortunately Covid have hit that on the head just now but until that does happen we will still be a club that develops and sells on the better players, right now all we can offer them is 1st team football, the odd cup run and occasional decent league position, that in itself may not be enough to tempt them to stay, Nisbet and Birmingham a good example of a player's head being turned for more cash.

Of course we need to cut our cloth and all that and players will be sold to balance the books,. However. I think we are all hoping for a bit more in terms of what we can offer them. If we sell players at the first sniff of cash, then the club's going nowhere. Gordon has shown he means business, here's hoping that continues.

Unfortunately Covid has put a major spanner in the works, his 5 year plan may take longer and selling these young talented players may have to take place till we get through this.

That said, there is an opportunity for Hibs to consolidate our place as the best of the rest and hopefully the financial incentives associated with that would help us hold onto young talent a wee bit longer. Declining fees for Porteous and Nisbet gives me hope that we do that.

Still think he’s too young to head down south, for me he needs another season at Hibs

RG confirmed interest from Brendan.
Expects one of Nesbitt, Porteous or Doig to leave in the summer.

He was extremely positive about them all. Says it’s a tricky balance trying to ensure we can stay competitive but allowing players to move on to a higher level where possible.
Move has to be right for everyone, timing, price etc.
Didn’t concern me at all. Still talking about doubling our turnover by 2023. I didn’t see the AGM but imagine he was interviewed after it.

He doesn’t seem in a hurry to move given he just signed a new contract so no need to sell really.

It wasn’t that long ago that all a decent young Scottish player needed to do was string a couple of passes together before the tabloids were linking them with the OF. McGinn changed everything here. The uglies have been conspicuous by their absence in the Doig tabloid tittle tattle.
Leicester for 5 mill plus a 25% of future transfer fee would be a good one for us and provide another ‘let’s all laugh at ham tarts’ moment.

I’ve said it before on here, I don’t think any player should be looking to move to a better league before playing at least 100 games.
Doig has signed a new contract and will be in no rush to leave. I can see Nisbet and Porto leaving before JD

What better incentive for a young player we are keen on, seeing top English teams bid high for three or four of our current side after a good season or two.
Would love Doig and Nisbet to get another full season with Hibs, but as RG said there is a balance to be found - it would not surprise me in the slightest for Celtic to try and come in for Doig under Howe. They won't keep Laxalt and Taylor is lightweight and not as athletic. To really progress, Josh needs to look at SJM and try England (for me).
Josh is going to be a superb player if he continues as he's doing.
