Reading that Stubbs won`t be rushed into signings from the Scott Allan transfer.
Really not surprised, he`s had plenty of time before now.
How can you be positive about our squad? Keeper is poor, the defence isn`t great, midfield is lightweight and upfront there is no cutting edge or any real pace.
So take your time Alan, no pressure on you then. Sunday is massive, absloutley massive and we can`t get beat.
Before anyone says he`s got no money. Yes I agree with you, he`s got zero but look at Inverness, we`ll have abigger budget and they`ve won the cup. Also he knew the script when taking the job so he can`t moan. Get Petrie out!
1.) 18 Aug 2015 22:34:32
Petrie1875 I think you're being a wee bit pessimistic this early in the season due to the fact we've got players to return from injury. I agree that ideally our keeper could be better but I think Oxley will improve as he's still relatively inexperienced and yes our defence isn't without flaws. Our midfield will be quality with Fyvie, McGinn, Carmichael, Boyle, Bartley, Henderson and MacGeouch hopefully to choose from. Up front although Cummings isn't the finished article he also will improve, Keatings will have an impact as he's proven at Championship level for the past two seasons and Farid is still to return.I wouldn't say all is lost yet.
2.) 19 Aug 2015 09:27:45
I agree with you that I`m pessimistic but do you blame me.
3.) 19 Aug 2015 18:28:39
Yes I do blame you Petrie.
You are too pessimistic.
Stubbs is and has made some good signings
Gray, Allan, Carmichael, McGinn, Fyvie, Mcgeouch (fingers crossed), keatings, and likely a cb or two to come.
I agree we could do with a leader on there and a proven striker , whose to say they aren't about to arrive?
Remember we are Chanpionship but operating in Premership wages. Can't be easy attracting the right players and yet he seems to be doing just that.
And yes get Petrie out but c'mon and support yer team and yer manager and let's see where we are come Xmas.
If it's a bag of brown stuff then you can mooooan away.
Rant over

We're doomed, I tell ye - doomed.
6.) 20 Aug 2015 10:36:18
You say I`m moaning but I say I`m telling you how it is.
You agree that he needs to bring in a leader and a proven striker, do you not think that he should have done that last season? So why with 10 or so days left of the window being open do you think he`ll do it now?
I am supporting my team, that`s why I`m moaning as you put it because someone has to say that it isn`t all great.
Kinda sick fed up now, years after years of pure pish. It`s always been the same. Hibs will never have owners that will spend millions on players but why do we put up with the owners we have now. No other club would. There is no reason why ER couldn`t have 15,000 season ticket holders, just need someone to have 1% of ambition that they have now.
Que the next person to disagree and defend Petrie and Co.
7.) 20 Aug 2015 10:19:11
soz guys petries right- never thought i'd type that,
we should be skooshing top six prem and pushing for Europe every year , we don't seem to realise the game has changed and we need bigger stronger players to win consistently at a higher level , the broxy breadman is just copying the type of signings herts made we are sticking with the same busy wee footballers that we can sell on , no ambition second season in a row and ps why after saying we are willing to keep sa has he been sold without a whimper. same old same old from the hibs board , they could have skooshed that league and cup a couple of times if they had paid better wages on the better players we've had over the last 10 yrs,
8.) 20 Aug 2015 23:13:28
The Barca team is full of "busy little players" as for getting rid of RP&TF the mechanism is in place, but the current owners knew the shares wouldn't be taken up, it was just a way of bringing in funds and If any clown thinks that anyone will take TOTAL control of Hibs without paying 4 Mill up front and taking on the 5 Mill debt they are dreaming! that's not going to happen, so christ knows where we go from here!
9.) 27 Aug 2015 22:10:22
Yes but they have defenders who are ruthless and their not busy their world class ,different we have busy who couldn't score in a bucket full of f.
07 Aug 2015 09:41:44
I wish Alan Stubbs would forget about phoning Warburton about Scott Allan.
All he`s doing is letting Warburton play mind games and he know`s that Stubbs is easy touch to wind up.
Expect another offer. At this point Rangers will be happy to have him or not so long as Stubbs gives him the chance to take the piss.
1.) 07 Aug 2015 09:55:07
getting a bit tedious - the daily Hiby/Stubby press release. if its a NO , then leave it - ignore it - itll go away.
Till January LOL!
2.) 07 Aug 2015 12:07:48
Agreed mate. I think if they manage to cobble together £500,000 then he's away. I'd be satisfied with that anyway. Stubbsy's backing himself into a corner though
3.) 07 Aug 2015 13:53:56
He's not going it's nothing to do with the money it's because it's our biggest competitors and he may sign in January but he won't be able to go till June personally I would piss the Huns off and sell him to septic for £250k plus mcgeouch
4.) 07 Aug 2015 14:52:45
£600k + 10% from his next 2 transfers.
And not to Rangers.
I don't know why Norwich wouldn't pay that. That's pennies to a BPL team. Much better option for them than Tony Andreu!
Alex Neill is the type of manager who can get players playing to their potential!
5.) 08 Aug 2015 17:46:32
Mr aware - honestly, no offence mate, but he isn't worth that kind of money, end of.
6.) 08 Aug 2015 18:56:58
Not worth it? Why would Rangers be so desperate for a player that isn't worth £600k?
He makes passes that Celtic players aren't even capable of.
7.) 08 Aug 2015 19:29:19
Desperate, a bit strong !
SA would be a nice to have NOT a must have.
& Celtic? Where did that come from?
8.) 11 Aug 2015 00:30:28
I was comparing him to Celtic as he is better than every player in every other SPL team. Only natural to then compare him with Celtic players.
Ypu don't actually need him yet but you will next season.
24 Jul 2015 14:29:55
It seems clear to me that Rangers are winding us up. I don`t think they`re seriously wanting Scott Allan because if they did they would have offered a serious and fair amount and the fact that they want to make payments rather than pay the full amount of £175,000.
They just want to try and unsettle the player and Hibs before the season starts as they know it`s going to be tough for them in the league.
Having said all that if it comes to it and Hibs do sell then they will have lost the league before a ball has been even kicked. Not that I believe that Hibs are a one man band but what signal does that show the rest of the team and the league?
What Hibs should do is make an offer for their best player but I couldn`t tell you who that is. Would be funny tho.
1.) 24 Jul 2015 15:47:46
Rangers would win the championship without sa.petrie your are basicly sayn its a 1 man team nt just u tho as there's a few of usz nw sayn if he go we ain't winning the championship so usz ain't sayn much about the rest of ir team
2.) 24 Jul 2015 17:18:07
Did you read my piece? Read it again.
Rangers are finished, get over it sunshine. You`re not the team or club you were. Celtic win have 20 in a row, never mind 10.
All the pressure is on your ugly mob to win the league. All the talk coming out of your place can only make Hibs stronger. Hibs have a settled squad more or less and if we can add a few more before the start of the season even better.
3.) 24 Jul 2015 20:35:54
Scot Allen is only one good player Hibs have, he is by no means the only one, his natural ability is second to none in Scottish football, let alone just the Hibs team. He is however, no more important than those around him. Fyvie, Fontaine, El Alague, Grey, Hanlon and quite a few others are just as important to Hibs as Allan is. IF we lost him it would be a blow , most definetely, but life would go on, we have lost far better players than him in the past and are still here. I think you should be more concerned that the paltry opening offer of £175k was to be paid in INSTALMENTS, I ask you, shows just how skint Rangers are when they have to try and buy players at knock-down prices on the never-never. Come back when you are prepared to pay the going rate for a quality player - shall I be conservative and suggest £750k upwards.
4.) 24 Jul 2015 22:25:30
1player does not make a team yes would be a blow but your right we have 2 players in the under 19 that are as good or better than him and hibs will stay strong last season was the best I've seen in 5 seasons and as for rangers your right shows how skint they are £225k. In a 18 month payment plan GGTTH
5.) 24 Jul 2015 23:40:05
Maybe the daily record could put the money up for Scott Allen they certainly want him to go to castle greyskull an absolute joke of a paper
6.) 25 Jul 2015 06:55:22
Gardner1965 go up and down this page and see for urself how many of usz said if we sell sa to rangers the league is gone
7.) 27 Jul 2015 12:31:12
Petri - - your first post - 'What Hibs should do is make an offer for their best player but I couldn`t tell you who that is. Would be funny tho.'
Yes it would be very funny- because that would mean you would have to offer - presumably cash & presumably a fair and decent offer & cash upfront.(& btw I don't know who our best player is either, given they've only known each other for about a fortnight - good result at weekend though)
btw -when was the last time ANY team paid full price up front for anybody???
{Ed007's Note - Other teams have credit facilities though. Hibs want any fee paid up front because there is no guarantee of them receiving further payments, this was known 2 months ago and Hibs are well within their rights to demand such.
Why should Hibs trust TRIFC with credit when banks and financial institutions don't? Businesses have credit ratings just like us and if you have a poor credit rating then there's consequences, also remember it's not just a transfer fee to be paid, there are other costs involved.(You can scrub (h), TRIFC are not paying any signing-on fees to new signings):
a) Transfer fee - the big number.
(b) Any levy applied by the local FA – 5% for the EPL.
(c) Tax due on the transfer fee – typically this will be VAT (at varying rates across Europe) some or all of which should be reclaimable.
(d) Agent fees – this may be to one or more agents. (as an example, Liverpool have spent over £40M plus VAT on agent fees over the past three years leading to this window)
(e) Tax due on the agent fees – typically this is VAT at the local rate where the agent bills from – it is not reclaimable.
(f) Intermediary fees – this may be to one or more sponging leeches(what do you mean you have a super agent?) .
(g) Tax due on the Intermediary fees – typically this is VAT at the local rate where the Intermediary bills from – it is not reclaimable.
(h) Signing on fee to the player (possibly including non-reclaimable VAT if the player is VAT registered).
(i) Legal fees.
(j) VAT on legal fees which is reclaimable.
(k) Moving/relocation costs for the player.
(l) VAT on moving/relocation costs which is reclaimable.
(m) Paying up insurance costs to the selling club (sometimes waived).
(n) Variables and tax on variables which may or may not be reclaimable) – these would typically include legal fees, moving/relocation costs, etc..
8.) 27 Jul 2015 17:55:10
Good comprehensive reply.
I am sure others have asked before me, but why do you appear to have a picture of a Celtic player on your profile? It is too small for me to make out who it is.
{Ed007's Note - Why wouldn't I have Scott Brown as my avatar?}
9.) 27 Jul 2015 20:26:35
In a Celtic strip??
Why not post a picture of him in a Hibs strip?
{Ed007's Note - I've not posted a picture of him in any strip.}
10.) 27 Jul 2015 20:55:48
OK, it must be my ipad, it looks like he is wearing a Celtic strip.
{Ed007's Note - In my avatar? He is.}
11.) 28 Jul 2015 15:33:57
Why?
You questioned my support for Hibs because I think that Rangers are a bigger club, surely having a current Celtic player as an avatar is more questionable?
Only my opinion.
{Ed007's Note - Why is it questionable? I can't see what point you're trying to make here. At least you're finally admitting YOU think Rangers (sic) are a bigger club, other people have a different opinion, you're getting it now (clap)
12.) 28 Jul 2015 15:53:36
What do you mean finally admitting it? I said all along that I think Rangers are a bigger club than Hibs, that's what all the posts were about.
All I am asking is, Why would a true Hibs supporter have a picture of a Celtic player as his avatar? I just don't get it.
Are you a Celtic supporter? Do you edit the Celtic site as well?
{Ed007's Note - But as I said all along that's only your opinion not a fact, because you say it doesn't make it so and other people have a different opinion, so who decides what teams are or aren't a 'bigger club' in a so called verbal agreement?
What if Rod Petrie said he had agreed a fee with Aberdeen as he considers them a bigger club than both Hibs and TRIFC because they play in the Scottish Premiership rather than the Championship? Then there's Motherwell - their supporters will say they're a bigger club than Hibs and so would Hearts, you'll probably find most clubs supporters in the Premiership would argue that their club is bigger than two clubs who'll play in the second tier of the national league for the second consecutive season.
And who could argue with that? Everyone's entitled to their opinion.
If I wasn't a Celtic supporter why would I have a picture of their captain as my avatar?}
13.) 28 Jul 2015 16:28:02
More than happy for people to have an opinion. It is a democratic county and that is what democracy is all about.
I believe that the majority of people in the football world would agree with me that Rangers are bigger club than Hibs ( just my opinion though !! )

Don`t believe for a second that Jon Daley has morals and went to Raith because he had given them his word. Utter Bull.
If a club (Hibs) want a player especially at the last minute then they`ll get their man.
Raith Rovers have just given him a better contract. How is that so hard to believe? We`ve penny pinchers running our club.
If ever was a time to spend a little, now is the time.

He did! He has! Believe it!! Plus, Theo Robinson, a striker ex Derby is at ER.
2.) 25 Aug 2015 16:56:14
Get a grip. Is it so hard to believe what I`m saying with Petrie in charge of the purse strings? Believe what makes you happy.
Take it from me if we had offered him a better deal he`d of signed.
3.) 25 Aug 2015 17:40:29
All the papers and the Raith manager said " he was offered more money from Hibs, but stood by his commitment to Raith" obviously Daley is a man of principle and very high morals! How is it difficult for you to accept that? You should get a grip man!!
4.) 27 Aug 2015 08:08:13
To be honest lads you have dodged a bullet by not signing Daly, a few dundee utd supporting mates have told me he was finished before he left them. He was definitely finished last season at rangers and was barely ever fit. He can't play on plastic pitches (there's three in our league) and is only suited to hoof ball tactics as he can't run.
After that what's the odds on a Daly winner at ibrox next week.
24 Aug 2015 16:26:06
Anyone for Darren McGregor?
14 Aug 2015 08:41:30
How are the Rangers fans going to be with "one of their own now"
If he really wanted to go to Rangers, then you have to ask about his morals by signing for Celtic but a footballer with morals.
I get the feeling that Celtic have bought him just because they can and to spite Rangers. He`s not going to get a game much at first I would have thought, I guess it`s up to him to take his chance when he gets it but he`ll be on the bench mostly.
It`s been a circus the whole Scott Allan affair, will he stay, will he go. I`m glad it`s over. I would have prefered he stayed but at least he hasn`t gone to Ibrox and the £275,000 that we`re getting can strengthen the defence as it`s badly needing it.
1.) 15 Aug 2015 11:18:07
I won't lie, Last night was a bit gutted to see him join celtic, Today i'm over it, Anyway Good luck vs Morton today
12 Aug 2015 11:47:34
Joey Barton has his move to West Ham called off because of fans reaction on Twitter.
Just shows you that some clubs do listen to their fans.
We could do with a couple of guys like him tho.
10 Aug 2015 11:25:20
To the guy that was saying we should sack Stubbs before the season had started. He might be proved to be right if Hibs lose on Saturday.
Myself had said that if he didn`t get off to a flyer he could be out the door by October.
Would you take Stuart McCall now or wait till October if we`re sitting 10 points behind the ugly mob?
1.) 10 Aug 2015 12:31:10
It's not Stubbs! it's the same as it's always been. No investment. Every seasons the same.
2.) 11 Aug 2015 10:33:25
I agree 100% but you can see it coming a mile off.
There is never going to be any investment in the team because why would they, there`s no money in it for them. Farmer and Co would sell tomorrow if they were going to get a price they wanted but nobody wants to buy Hibs because you`re only going to lose money. There is no money in Scottish Football.
The frustrating thing is while we`re never going to compete with Celtic, we could with likes of Aberdeen and Hearts, that`s what gets me but they`re not interested.
Until there is REAL change at the club will Hibs manage to do something, as long as Rod and co are at ER then only mediocre is what we can aspire to be and at the moment that is better than what we are now.
3.) 11 Aug 2015 11:49:25
25 yrs TF & RP have been in charge and what we really have to show for it is a new stadium and training ground, these facilities have cost us dearly in terms of selling players and a lack of investment in the team. They will argue that the fans have been given the opportunity to own a majority shareholding in the club and have failed to take it up, and that's true to an extent. I personally don't like the fact that even if the fans do fork out TF&RP will still be hanging around. Their have been rumours that a couple of people were interested in buying us but they were given short thrift or decided that TF was asking to much! I agree that new owners and some real investment in the team would be great, but I think TF&RP will get carried out of ER in a box before that happens. My fear is if we don't get up this year that they will cut their cloth to suit which will mean poor quality players coming in.
28 Aug 2015 15:56:57
I would but he gets the horn.
28 Aug 2015 14:01:53
Signing Messi would mean spending money. Also he`s still playing so not past it.
Keith wright wouldn`t cost a penny and he`s old. The reason I used Keith as an example.
I know you tried but you need to try harder with an example.
Please try again. I `ll start you off. `You`ll be saying that. (add the player of your choice who`s past it) wouldn`t get a game.
Can you do it? Dave is dancing, so he`s says No, over to you.
28 Aug 2015 13:03:24
Demented budgie, very good. Did you come up with that all by yourself. Well done! That`s you told me. Well if you say everything is rosey then who I`m I to disagree with a mind that came up with a put down of demented budgie.
My mental health is no concern of yours but my pet unicorn (Dave)who I commuinicate through dance as he`s from Moldova and his English isn`t quite there yet says that your budgie line was PISH!
28 Aug 2015 10:05:26
You`d be happy if we brought back Keith Wright
28 Aug 2015 10:04:10
What have we got to trust Stubbs and Leann for? He`s making a hash of it and shes just a Petrie stooge.
It really gets me time and time again this in Stubbs we trust pish. Listen we`re not Arsenal, we`re never going to be so leave the in trust think to them.
You`re easily pleased mate. Life being you must be great.
The reason Hibs have never done anything, ever is because Petrie knows we have fans like you. Demand better and you never know you might get it.
Change the subject slightly as much as I would like to see someone like Stevie May at Hibs if he did come it would be a loan signing. Hibs will tell you it is sending a message. Bollocks it is if it`s a loan. Look at Leigh Griffiths had him on loan could have bought him chose to try and get him on the cheap and look what happens.
28 Aug 2015 13:11:55
`Just let yourself believe` Ha Ha Ha!!
WTF?
Is that a title of a song?
It should be.
Are you insane? I don`t know what I find more distrubing, punters like you trying to wind up other Hibs fans with the constant HAPPY clappy `everythings going to be alright` or your spelling.
Nothing else for it, I dunno about that. I could give up and not have to deal with punters like you. But if I did that then where would your entertainment be?
28 Aug 2015 10:07:14
I really don`t think so!
27 Aug 2015 10:33:44
Reading that Dundee United have a bid of £200,000 accepted.
When would Hibs ever part with that.
25 Aug 2015 16:56:14
Get a grip. Is it so hard to believe what I`m saying with Petrie in charge of the purse strings? Believe what makes you happy.
Take it from me if we had offered him a better deal he`d of signed.
24 Aug 2015 16:16:04
I think he`s putting a lot of faith in Cummings and Boyle and Keatings when he gets fit that`s the reason for me saying he won`t bring another striker in. IMO
Anyway Jon Daley, we couldn`t afford him, that`s why I said we won`t be signing him. Unless you know something?
I don`t see him bringing another midfielder in or goalkeeper.
Maybe, maybe he might bring in a defender, if we`re lucky.
The longer he leaves it the more of a panic buy it becomes.
We should be having a clear out of Malonga, El Alagui and then maybe we can get a better striker.
What the hell happen to Alex Harris? The boy was being talked up and we would sell him for millions. He gets injured and now he`s at QoS?
