For what it's worth I don't think we'll make another bid, and it's very possible Allan will be happy to sit out the season and sign for us on a free. He'll potentially settle for missing out on a season in the Championship and join us to play in the Premiership. Hibs lose their best player for the season, get no money for him and are possibly consigned to another season in the Championship. Seeing the alternative - bringing in some cash to sign a decent player who wants to be there, strengthening their chances in the league or at least in a playoff - is apparently beyond them.
