[BILLYHIBS]

He gash anyway

Best of luck wherever he goes

[hibsbollah]

The news just keeps getting better and better

[cabbageandribs1875]

**** him

he can leave in january



i have far more respect for jason cummings/Boyle and the others that have saw the club right

[Mikey_1875]

The fact he isn’t signing a new contract isn’t strange. I do find the timing and announcement strange. Don’t see the benefit of it.

[Since452]

Fish gets his jersey until he leaves.

[Colr]

Hardly surprising. Good luck to him.

[HendoDelivered]

Don’t understand folk being bitter about it. He owes us nothing.

He signed a contract and honoured it, fair play to him. I hope he gets a good move.

Because we want rid in January for a fee, rather than him fannying around til May and then leaving.

I think it’s the fact he’s not bothered just declining it and left it on the table as an option so we are left wondering if he maybe is going to sign

Yeah, odd one, especially given the lack of quotes - all feels very cold and padded out with needless stats. Wonder if all parties were happy with it.

Can;t speak for anybody else but I'm not feeling bitter, just disappointed.

Possibly. Would that not reduce the fee we could command rather than maximise the potential though?

[Colinton Hibby]

His performances recently have been nothing short of shocking. He’ll be lucky to get championship down south, more likely league one.

wouldnt be surprised if a transfer is already agreed. smooths the fans into the reality instead of the shock news in a few days. wish him all the best, deserves a chance outside scottish football

Don't think we are going to get much anyway, he could sign a pca with someone and just swan around til May.

[Diclonius]

Meh

[tonyrougier123]

Looked a shadow of the player he can be for the most part this season.
Good luck to him but if he ends up in Glasgow can expect a frosty reception on his return.
Better off down south or abroad get out the road.
Disappointed he couldn’t commit but not surprised either.

[Scooter]

I wouldn't play him again.

But this is absolutely the right decision for him. If I was him I'd be doing g the same

[Hibeesforever]

Porteous should play in the Reserves now until we sell him in January...McCleland a better prospect.

[Colinton Hibby]

I hope he does end up at one of the arse cheeks. Boyle and Nisbet would run him ragged.

Beale taking him to the Huns.....

[Pretty Boy]

Huge blow to lose him and for nothing (or a token amount in January) just makes it even worse.

I don't blame him at all though. He will know what is out there and is entitled to seek what he believes he is worth. It should never have got to the stage that we were still negotiating when he only has 7 months left on his deal, it should have been resolved 12-18 months ago.

If he is still here after the January window then we continue to play him imo. We are a weaker team without him and we need as many good players as we can get right now and they are pretty thin on the ground in our current squad.

This is where I am with the situation. Feels like we’re back to the old days where we lost players in this way. The damage was done in the immediate post Leann era when there was no one making decisions. Hopefully the Gordon’s learn from this but this is a big fee that we have missed out on.

[wookie70]

Pretty poor management of his contract from Hibs. He'll go for next to nothing and we only have ourselves to blame. Although he hasn't had a great season he did have a spell for a month where he showed how good he can be. I'd probably go back to playing 2 centre halves and Ryan can warm the bench now. It will be interesting to see how he gets on and hopefully that is down south
