lubo_blaha Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I was criticised on here a week or so ago for saying we are cutting the wage bill but we definitely are. Ramirez, Lewis, McGeouch, Ojo and Considine are being allowed to leave as they are high earners. Dunne and Harry Milne (Cove Rangers) are going to be on much lower wages. Spending £200,000 on Dunne is total madness. No wonder St Mirren fans are offering to drive Dunne north.Quite a reach to claim that based on tabloid headlines months before the transfer window actually opens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Is it really that controversial a decision to let Andy go? As much as we love the fact that he's a one club guy, he'd have been off years ago if he was good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kind of like someone being in eastenders for 30 years, it’s ultimately a relatively failed acting career. But no one ever says it. Shame on you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 It's not like he wasn't offered a contract. 3 year deal with Cove incoming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully our days of offering ex-prem players in their mid-thirties 3 year deals are behind us. CB is an area we need to improve so would take Considine at Cove but anything more than a 1 year deal wouldn't be wise. Reading here that Harry Milne is linked with the Dons. I know other prem clubs are interested. Our best player by some distance and out of contract in the summer. Be absolutely gutted to lose him. Any source to the interest of just hearsay?

Pretty sure Hibs have had shorts sponsors for years? 5 minutes ago, Frank Grimes said: It’s absolutely bizarre Must be exhausting getting rattled by every decision the club makes I’m old enough to remember when nobody cared when a new shirt sponsor was announced Yeah exactly. 4 minutes ago, DrewDon said: You don’t want to upset the Saltire Energy ultras. Saw a few folk saying Saltire aren't impressed with Cromack. A few years ago it came out tat Texo weren't impressed with McInnes. These things go round in circles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a rumour of him signing a pre-contract with Partick. I heard from another more trusted source that Ian McCall tried to sign him previously. I know Harry's brother-in-law and sister very well, they wouldn't tell me even if they knew as it's confidential, but that particular move doesn't really make much sense.

Cavaet to the Mackenzie piece is when I've seen him in the handful of matches I've streamed, latest being against St Johnstone. Harry would give pace, power and supply down the left side. He's very strong in the challenge too. He's in a different class compared to Logan, who I know is past his prime. Dons have a very wide ranging recruitment net and could easily opt for a more experienced or even international quality player.

Struggled after his injury. I'm told Milne already has something lined up elsewhere. Something will have had to change for him to come to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
