Thoughts and prayers, lads. God speed. Hibernian FC "in support of Bournemouth". I'm willing to bet that Hibernian's support of Bournemouth won't look quite like Bournemouth's support of Hibernian. Foleys support will be loads of money and players we couldn’t otherwise attract to the club (a higher standard than anything you have in your squad too btw) and our support to Bournemouth will be develop a standard of player to play in the best league in the world. Bournemouth have their own reserve league and diddy teams like hearts to send the likes of James Hill to when they are nowhere near good enough to play for them, the standard of player we will have will be of a much higher quality with a pathway clear to their first team, which of course will benefit us both on the playing side and financially be it the player is around for one or two years, that’s the maximum any stand out player would play for any of the non old firm teams anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said no team will be obligated to sell to or take players from another club in the group. Aye. Cos that's definitely worth the investment. Must be true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Yeah, Hibs are fucked now. Developing players to sell to an EPL club and relying on loans from the same level. Youd certainly not see Aberdeen or Hearts taking that approach to things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs won't be "selling" anyone to Bournemouth. And Hearts and Aberdeen can choose our own loans. Believing Hibs will have that luxury is generous in the extreme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Devastated that Bournemouth will be paying us to take their dogshit 19 year old centreback on loan rather than us sourcing our own 19 year old dogshit centreback from Nottingham Forest on loan for free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what are the FFP regulations in France? Hibs will not be seeing any of that. It's very handy having a club not subject to the same restrictions in their league.

You have to understand that there has been a special clause inserted into any potential deal between Foley and Hibs which strictly prohibits any positive outcome or benefits for Hibs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DannyBlue Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 We'll see what happens, I'm cautiously optimistic about this, feels like there could be a bit of an opportunity to develop on the park and we are hopefully going to benefit from some of the scouting resources of an EPL team. Any word on what size the share will be? I know the initial report in The Athletic said its believed to be in the region of 15% and then BBC said it would be closer to 20%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince was spewing shite recently about how he doesnt really care about football these days wasnt he? Amazing isnt it that despite that he was fuming at Aberdeen kicking his teams arse and seems really angry about an investment Hibs are getting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorient were able to invest it, spending almost exactly that amount on non-Bournemouth players to improve their squad. Ligue 1 FFP rules are the same as the EPL and UEFAs, as far as i can tell.

Lorient required it, as French FFP rules are quite tight. There is no need for Bournemouth to pay Hibs a large fee for a player. There's no sense in Hibs having that sum to spend purely for UEFA regulations that won't be all that relevant. Lorient need it for French fitba. This is not rocket science. Amazing we've had FFP around for so long, yet it remains a mystery to so many. Worth noting that despite that money being available to them, and this amazing scouting network, Lorient got worse in the second half of last season (post-investment) and are now two points from bottom of the league.

How much does Anderson put into you boys that should perhaps be looked into by FFP? You could argue once again your club is conning the system with him putting money into the infrastructure for the eventuality of that providing income for the playing side of things, no?

Money gifted to the club to stop it running at a loss sounds pretty dodgy to me.

And the Anderson money comes with no strings other than that he doesn't need to wear a tie. Bizarre when people try to paint it as a negative in any way. It has literally no strings at all. He's just a rich fan who's happy to spend it. You'll need to run by me what's dodgy about it, since it's all declared and even spoken about in the media. I'm not aware of Anderson murdering any journalists or executing mentally ill people. Are you?
