Aye I was thinking that the other day. The whole period from the decline in Hughes' first season, all the way through to THAT cup final in 2012, is a hazy memory at best. Say what you want about collapsing like a dying star towards relegation but at least it's more memorable than safe shiteness.

Some more names from that period - Richie Towell, Jonathan Franks, Matt Thornhill, Victor Polsen, Junior Agogo 

Going to have to start the counselling sessions again. Cheers for that.

Matt Thornhill :lol: 

To think we could’ve had Michael O’Neill twice and passed it up to go with Pat Fenlon and Colin Calderwood. Some laugh. 

And then we turned down money for someone to take Calderwood off our hands :lol:

Alex Gogic being offered a trial. Thought he was the key man for Accies last season? Should really know enough about him already to be confident in offering a contract I’d have thought. Seems like the exact kind of player we need in midfield.

Might be a way of getting around the pledge to not sign anyone until the players are back on full wages.

But Ross has warned any recruitment is “on hold” until the financial impact of Scottish football’s shutdown can be properly assessed.

Hibernian v Kilmarnock: Michael Nelson makes his presence known as ... 

Greatest winter transfer window we've ever had. 

TBF the 2011 winter widow was probably worse. Sodje, Thornhill, Palsson, and paying a fee for Martin Scott.

...

Thats a good point. I’d just assumed they’d all go back on full pay when they go back to training but that might not be the case straight away.

It is.

As soon as players start training then they can no longer claim furlough.

To be fair, Claros was actually a good wee player and Doherty has developed into a top player in the English Premier League.  

That will never, ever make up for this though:

 

The whole stadium went into stunned laughter.

Hibs players are currently deferring part of their salary. That is not directly connected with furlough.

The only sense in which it is connected is that the senior players at Hibs will be paid significantly more than the furlough cap (2500 per month). The deferment will have taken their salaries down to a level where furlough will be covering a lot of the rest.
