I hate just because it's Hibs the price is set by the media plebs at £1.5m....yet if he were wearing blue or Hoops it'd be way, way more than that.

If he was playing for Hamilton his value would be a lot less than it is with us.

Watching the AGM today, I doubt there will be too many pulling a fast one on the board.

Selling players to the English Premiership for good fees and making sure there are healthy sell on benefits could be the best and quickest way to grow. Porteous, Nisbet and Doig are all very marketable and could all create large sell ons if they develop. I think they should all stay another year but if money is reinvested and done with a view to buy the best young players we can to develop then that is a very workable model. SJM being sold may give us enough cash to replace anyone that leaves and pick up a few gems for the future too.
I think that was what LD wanted to build and it was looking possible under Stubbs but imploded a bit with Lennon. Jack Ross seems to be in a similar vein as Stubbs bringing in young players who are ambitious and ready to make the next step. Giving them lots of game time but also protecting them when needed.
The succession planning needs to be good and recruitment has to be accurate but I think if done correctly it could make us thrive and be the third force which is what RG is wanting. I think we could get a name as a stepping stone club which could also mean players want to come to us and we could get some good loans too.
Selling young players, if done correctly, can be a very progressive move for all concerned.

By setting yourself up as a "stepping stone" you're also not getting the players to invest themselves in the club.The buy low sell high model also views players as commodities which again isn't conducive to building a great team or team spirit. With the Stubbs and Lennon years you got the impression that the core of the squad loved being at the club and were in things for the long haul. I am pretty sure that until his last year John McGinn wasn't eyeing a move and was very happy at Hibs.
We're clearly on a good financial footing despite the difficulties of the last two seasons so we don't need large transfer fees. Let's concentrate on building a club where players want to be and would be very reluctant to leave no matter what the offer.

Josh won’t be moving in the next transfer window, he is happy at the club and wants to play as much football as possible. Signed the new contract offered, has his head screwed on, will move in a year or 2. If anyone leaves it will probably be Nisbet, at 24 he’s at a good age to make the move and already had his head turned.

Build a club that fosters team spirit, provides a platform for the ambitious and also satisfies the fans.
Hibs have shown they mean business already, resisting the offers for players in January, with an eye on the bigger prize. It may well be that we see a departure or two in the summer, but I’m sure we will have used the time to identify suitable targets.

I totally agree about the vibe the club and squad had under Stubbs and for a chunk of Lennon's tenure. You can get that type of vibe when players can see themselves developing and a brighter future. Again I am not saying sell every decent player I am saying have a policy of buying quality young players and a plan to develop them. Supplement that with some experience and you have a chance of success on the park and the opportunity to build on that when the gems move on. They will move on regardless so I am saying have a plan for that and a model which means we maximise the chances of more SJM types.
I do agree though that it isn't easy and can be risky and I don't want us to be seen as a club who treats players as money makers. I want to see us as a club where players can enjoy the present but work towards the future. I don't want to see many journeyman type players, I want hungry young players on there way up.

I am more hopeful off Hibs making more than a couple of million from Doig/Nisbet, now that teams like Birningham,Leeds and Leicester are noted to be interested, just the fact leicesteer are interested should push up the asking price, when SJM went to Villa, the reason we sold him for so little was the fact nobody else was interested, now we have a few clubs interested in our players, which is only a good thing.

There was some chat on the radio about Hibs doing a deal whereby they sell Doig but loan him back for next season to allow him to keep developing with game time.
They weren’t linking him to any club specifically, just saying it’s the type of deal that could suit all parties.
I’d be happy with that if RG felt we were getting a fair price.

For us, I’m not sure it’s a great deal unless we’re strapped for cash.

We’re about to start talking about futures and options here. I’m away to watch Bloomberg for a bit.
