Danny Racchi was excellent in his time here. Ironically he replaced Simon Heslop, and we went from 24th in the league and 12 points adrift of safety to getting 30 points in 15 games and surviving with two games to play. He was 'released' by us because we don't have enough money to offer him a...
Not heard anything at all, but he's about 2 weeks past the deadline to sign a new contract here so looks to be moving on somewhere. Personally I would say he's good enough for League Two, although Portsmouth did release him 12 months ago. Since he signed for us he's been terrific, is still young...
He came through the youth system here and left Torquay in about 2000, so our opinions may not be overly helpful. He was very nice when I met him on a stadium tour with my primary school but I honestly thought he retired from any competitive level about five years ago! Pleased to see he's still...
A very frustrating game to watch for Slovakia. Hamsik nearly scored the goal of the tournament but that was the high point, about 5 minutes in. I think the keeper should have done a lot better with the Bale free-kick, and the winner was also a bit scrappy - possibly a point would have been fair...
I take it back - Sparkes is confirmed! Think he'll add a lot of quality and goals to the side. We're probably only 2-4 players away from a decent starting XI (with everyone fit). We should certainly be aiming for the top half.
Dan Sparkes is in Florida right now, which doesn't look too promising for any confirmation of a deal. He'd be a good signing for us, but I'll wait till it's official before getting excited.
Neil Lennon has agreed terms to be the new Hibs manager. I think they've played a blinder here - got money for Stubbs after a cup win and replaced him with a far more proven manager.
The situation at Hibs will be pretty similar to what he had at Celtic, namely having the biggest budget and...
Cox signed him and then left us in September. We got rid of as many of Cox's signings as we could in January, and Heslop was one of those. Given the money Barrow have I think he'd be looking a lot higher than Heslop.
Toby Ajala was good for us in 2014/15 but wasn't the same player when he returned in January. We're not too disappointed that he turned down our offer.
On form he is good enough though. Like most wingers at this level consistency is an issue but he was very good for us in 14/15 and on that form...
Probably a good thing though as you don't want too many people getting in with the cheaper season ticket deal, especially if they are regular attendees anyway. I hope we can push on this season and get crowds back in the 2000s at the very least. With Nicholson working magic, the price reduction...
I think it says more about the money south of the border that's filtering down. The parachute payments for one relegated club for one season is probably more than the revenue of the whole of Scotland (minus Celtic and Rangers). Hibs can sell out 21 000 people for big games and will be in Europe...
After moving to Edinburgh I've been to 6 Hibs games since January as a relative neutral and wasn't overly impressed by Stubbs. For the resources he has the results weren't great and the football was pretty but ineffectual.
Hibs had players like John McGinn and Anthony Stokes playing against...
Alan Stubbs looks to be off to Rotherham on a 3 year deal, which I think could work out quite well. He's not done that good a job, so get some money for him now while his stock is high after the cup win and replace him with a better manager. The money and potential at Hibs puts them amongst the...
Huxtable always makes an exhibition of himself at Plainmoor. As he's from Devon I've always thought we should try to get him removed from our games, but instead we seem to get him more often, especially when there is late notice or to cover an unavailable ref. We sometimes get him even when not...
