Swanson is going to Brighton - genuine

17 May 2012 19:49:28
Ian Black to Hibs? Can't believe this is still doing the rounds. 1 - It'd mean a pay cut 2 - He's probably the most rabid Hearts fan to play for us since Gary Mackay 3 - He wants to play in England 4 - To progress his career he'd move to a team that just finished 2nd bottom? I think if I had to think of the most unlikely transfers possible in Scottish football, this would make the top 5. I don't care if someone posts they just seen him at ER in a Hibs top on the pitch with a pen in his hand - it ain't happening.

16 May 2012 18:17:12

16 May 2012 17:31:53

16 May 2012 17:04:47
Ian black will not sign for hibs let's be serious and I also know for a fact tht he fancy derby county and thts from his cousin

16 May 2012 15:55:52
IAN BLACK to hibs. watch this space! hayes n swanson nope. arnason no. michal oconnor yes, mcpake and leigh griffiths hopefully! GGTTH

16 May 2012 14:13:11
Fenlon will be sacked if Hibs don't win the cup and will be replaced by either Jackie MacNamara or Paul Hartley. Genuine

14 May 2012 22:04:36
Danny Swanson is not coming to hibs and it's not Bristol city. Watch this space

13 May 2012 17:44:49
Danny Swanson's going to Bristol city, he's not coming to Easter Road.

12 May 2012 17:54:10
celtic hearts and dundee utd want mcpake fact

11 May 2012 21:39:47
danny swanson leaving dundee utd at season end hopefully coming to hibs

11 May 2012 14:27:52
If Brian Kennedy's offer to become involved in a Rangers buy out is knocked back......watch for an offer to Sir Tom Farmer to take control at ER. He was very interested a few years ago, he is a long term Hibs supporter, and he is one of the few men Sir Tom would get involved with.
If not a complete takeover, there may be a financial input for a few years, before taking over in 2/3 years time.
Just a wee offhand disclosure in an upmarket restaurant !
Jimbo, not Jambo

this is alot of cr*p, when kennedy wanted to buy hibs before farmer wouldn't even talk to him, and he's been desperate to sell the club for years, surely the recent activity with kennedy and rangers was enough to convince u that hes clearly not right in the head!

Mcpake has just been on Twitter stating that he's seen the new home and away strips for next season,"the best Hibs strips i've seen" does that sound like a player who's heading across the city ? I think not !

10 May 2012 17:49:06
looks like we're close to signing paul cairney from partick thistle- source hibs news on google

10 May 2012 16:48:03
McPake has changed his mind again. He WILL go to Hearts. Realistically there's more chance of glory at Tynie he says

09 May 2012 21:11:09
This season has been a financial nightmare and with no saleable assets our board will not consider any fees .....The Rangers issue only makes matters liable to create further hardship.
In the current climate not a penny will be spent on buying players its a no brainer. .. anyone thinking otherwise needs to get some medical advice.

this is on any other season would be true......... but, the cup final is worth 1 million to us, then again we r the tightest in the land, it could be spent on players or guarantee some wages for next season (the most likely)

09 May 2012 21:07:56
I have heard from a very reliable source (who has previously told me of the January loan signings and the resigning of GOC well in advance) that Hayes and Swanson are currently the two main external priorities whilst Griffiths and McPake are the two main internal priorities (which i think everyone now knows).

Fenlon is confident of securing both internal signing and is VERY optimistic that he will get AT LEAST one of the two externals. He is playing the waiting game on Doherty, as Wolves are in a bit of a mess at the minute and he is waiting to see what they have planned for him. He is also interested in keeping GOC for another year, as well as getting Francomb and Soares back (Soares will be difficult as there are a few Championship clubs interested).

These are all dependent on wage demands though. ALSO, Stack and Stevenson are going to be offered new contracts which they will sign. Hasselbaink, Dayton, Shields, Dillon and Davidson are also targets but, again, it just depends on the wages outlay on the others.

stevenson signed a years extensions triggered in his last contract because of this seasons appearances, this happened about 2 weeks ago. i alomost believed what u where saying until it got to that, then the rest was pure guff!

Fenlon wants mcpake to stay (sky sports) also, was on coventry website, highly rated down there btw. People want to see him back but if not want a reasonable amount for him some fans saying 500k? Also they are saying stuff like 'o'connor in return please' never gonna happen haha! One fan also said Spoony was a tidy little winger.. Now that's something you don't see very often! Just informing you guys. Go on the coventry fans forums. GGTTH!

08 May 2012 09:51:55
McPake says no to Hearts -" I'm looking forward to the glory days to come at Easter Road!"

07 May 2012 15:01:45
05 May 2012 00:24:59
Hibs, I know for a fact have approached ex-Bolton winger Mustapha Riga and have offered Dundee Utd a 6 figuire fee for Irish full back Sean Dillon who worked with Fenlon at Bohemians. James McPake and Leigh Griffiths have agreed terms with Hibs for next season and these signing will be announced around June. George Francomb and Tom Soares are out of contract of Norwich and Stoke respectively. Both have been offered a 2 year deal at Easter Road. George Francomb has shown interest in the deal whereas Tom Soares is still considering his options. Offers are also likely to be made for Shamrock Rovers striker Gary Twigg. Partick Thistle midfielder Paul Cairney and Kari Arnason. Fenlon is also running the rule over loan deals for Arsenal striker Michael Gregoritsh and Man Utd goalkeeper Ben Amos among others.

Ben Amos was on the bench for Utd on Sunday and Gregoritsh plays for an austrian side.
