not quite sure the point being made here....Yes, there has been a definite change of approach since end of last season - relegation does that ! Makes it easy to create change. Even for RP...RP still has an active role in the club - he is the trusted advisor of the owner. So feel free to thank him if you wish - good luck with that one..

It was tongue in cheek. My point being, I dont believe anyone would thank him because most believe this year of change has had nothing to do with him.

Yes relegation makes it easier to change but I don't believe we would have without LD. My main point was that I believe it is LD and her team pushing the changes and that RP is allowing them to implement their vision, wait her by having no involvement or by not interfering. I'm not worried at all that RP could be there desperate to cash in on SA, I think the club has done enough to prove that we operate differently now. So if he is sold I would be content that it was unavoidable and that the club would make the best effort to reinvest in the squad, unlike before.

To those saying we failed last season, we may not have been promoted and no one is happy about it but we have made huge progress, especially when you consider our position at the end of the relegation season. That's not to say we're in a great position but we were in such a bad position a year ago that we have to accept that Rome wasn't built in a day. It would be failure to get promoted this season that would be a real failure.

Don't disagree with any of that.....

And here was me thinking that RP was the one that approached LD. Prior to being relegated as well.

One definitive one. That's all. The club has not said, categorically, that he won't be sold. That's why all this discussion and speculation will go on and on. Sevco supporters really do believe that in due course Hibs will capitulate and sell him by the end of the window.

A bit naive - with all due respect. Hibs can't say that. As we all know, every player has their price. Silly money would talk.

**Famous Fiver** · 21-07-2015 05:54 PM

All of Sevco's new players are playing tonight. All of ours are injured!!!! You couldn't make it up.

To be expected given ne'er of new players they have brought in We know they are there to beaten on Saturday

But it's what they play like in their first four or five leaugue games that will indicate how they are gelling as a team

Anything with regards Scotty Allan without having spoken to Hibs first should be reported.

Unsettling our players is typical of those *****!

Ha looks like Ashley will have his lawyers on it!

Cheers for that Silver!

***silverhibee*** · 22-07-2015 03:10 PM

King just keeps saying it is down to the fans to buy ST if they want to be the No 1 club in Scotland again.

No talk of him and his investors putting any money in to the club. Fans need to do that.

That cellar just needs a plasma and a comfy seat and most important of all, a cork screw.

Has a good relationship with Ashley, good yin.

***offshorehibby*** · 22-07-2015 03:16 PM

Just sounded like a Jim White love in with king, King rattling the begging bowl saying the fans need to pull the finger out. Seems to think Ashley just going to roll over, ha ha, can't see that.

More p*%h from King to follow.

***Ozyhibby*** · 22-07-2015 03:18 PM

Hard hitting journalism from White there.
Up there with Frost/Nixon.

Has King asked White if he was fornicating yesterday?

***Ozyhibby*** · 22-07-2015 03:23 PM

'So, Dave, why are you so rich'?

Half a dozen weegies wouldn't take long tae sort that cellar out , then chore the plasma

In the London Evening Standard tonight Warbs is quoted as saying [that after signing Fotheringham, Kiernan and Wilson] "the backing we have received from the owner and the board has been outstanding". Outstanding, aye?

As I've said before King is skint and will put no money into The Rangers.

More telling that The Rangers are not buying merchandising and that this is hurting them - King apparently will make up shortfall

(aye right then)

Mind....how funny (in a way) would it be if Ashley said to Hibs, 'I'll give you £2.5 million for Allan for the 'Toon and loaned him back to us'

Were they not telling us a couple of weeks that tickets were flying out the door?

I don't think anyone has denied that but it doesn't actually prove your previous statement...

My previous statement re: 'the Rod Petrie factor' ?. It isn't a statement of fact, it's my opinion - sorry but as I said, even though things are improving presently, it doesn't make up for the years and years of total mis-management and dross-football. My dis-trust in him stems from all the years of repeatedly being told by him that once the stadium-improvements were done, then all funding/concentration would be to fielding a team to match the surroundings - we got relegated.

***jacomo*** · 22-07-2015 04:57 PM

Would have been a better idea to renegotiate the retail deal before launching the new season shirts, surely?

Although I think Ashley will just ask for his £5m back.

Probably means the payments are 'outstanding' and still due to be paid.
