0762,
You mention an orchestrated manoeuvre by a club well aware of our threat to them in the upcoming season and that leaving a bad taste in the mouth BUT moving closer to home some of the tricks pulled by our own board have left a lot of us BOAKING.
Over the years Hibs fans have had to take a few sore ones, I well remember being gutted when Rod sold Gary O`Connor (our top goal scorer) the week before we were due to play Hearts in the semi final of the Scottish cup. Remember Rod Petrie telling us that we didn`t need to sell players then letting Steven Fletcher go a few months later?
You are quite right in your condemnation of Rangers, it is no coincidence that both they and Celtic make it common knowledge when they are interested in players and this inevitably leads to an unsettled player who submits a transfer request.
Our board, instead of saying Allan is not for sale, pussy foot around and tell us we will not sell to Rangers. That statement is BULLSHIT, we are all afraid that Rangers will up their offer by another |£50,000 or so and out board will grab it pretty quick.
If that happens the fans will see exactly the contempt they hold us in, so much for the promises and guarantees they have been giving us over the last couple of seasons. As the saying goes "time will tell" don`t hold your breath though.
