Well, the way things have been going, there will be nowt seen on expanding the playing pool. Kind of strange, but the way Hibs have been doing things over the last couple of years, strangely, seems to be working<scratchesheidsmiley>

Hibs have had a good season financially as well as in terms of fitbaw. ;D
I don't have access to the accounts, but there is no doubt that we have reduced our debt significantly. With season ticket sales for next year looking like our best ever, we can expect the future to look more and more secure, as long as success on the park is with us.
I don't expect us to be able to offer Collins large sums for transfer fees though, and to be fair we have done pretty well in finding talent over the last few years without them. To me, paying large transfer fees is chucking away money. I'd rather see a higher wage ceiling so that out-of-contract players with experience could be attracted to play for Hibs.
We also have to recognize that we have our new training ground to start payments for, as well as further development of the stadium to plan for. The east stand can't be allowed to dilapidate for much longer.

Ageed there Ali, and at least you can still have a f*g in the East stand without even the stewards saying anything. I was in there at Christmas, and couldn't believe it. Actually, I was looking for the bar!!! But like I said, above, without having to spend lots of cash, the overall progress has been okay, over the past couple of years, and defo, when you compare it to our neighbours!! But I think a keeper is the position that we might think of spending a few bob on, no disrespect to young McNeil, like

I just wondered if anyone knew what the extra income would be. I assume it would not have been budgeted for.

if i remember rightly when hibs won the league cup in 1991 the prize money was somewhere in the region of a 250,000 gbp,what it is now i don't know but if you add on tv rites and what share we would get for the crowd it's probably not far off half a mill if not more,then we have the run to the scottish cup,if we only make it to the final then hibs will have made quite a bit,for this season i would say things are looking pretty rosey in this green garden! GloryGlory to the hibees!

Here is my slant on it. Regardless of what we make the penny pinching will continue. Its working yes but being as nobody plays for THE jersey these days and with everything and everyone being money orientated should we not be raising the wage cap? My fear is that come the summer break it won`t be just Brown going.
I am not trying to be negative here but given the way Hibs have played this season there will be suitors from Engerland. Murphy, Whittaker and yes even Benji`s exploits won`t have gone unnoticed.
Tony Mowbray will know what players could make it down south and he will have some idea as to wages and contracts. Lets not forget that wee rat weegie bookie he will know doubt be trying to get his claws into the kids promising all sorts. Does anyone know what the laddie Stevenson is on and how long his contract is ? My opinion for what its worth is to raise the cap and cut the C R A P.
But hey its not a gloom and doom post here ;D We still have the squad thats going to lift the Scottish Cup in May. Raise the cap and cut the c r a p... quite catchy eh ;D ;D ;D ;D

I think I remember reading that the prize fund is around 1 million with 60% going to the winners + a % of gate and TV receipts. I would think a minimum of 800000 plus all of the T-Shirts, tops, scarfs, hats etc it would no be a kick in the balls off 1 million.

I believe we got around 1/2 Million quid for the CIS, plus gate receipts, we will probably get around the same if we reach the SC final. Adding that to record ST sales, merchandise sales and the 2 Mill we pocketed fro Katie then it's been a bumper yera financially for us. I'm sure Rod's got a permanent grin under his tache If Broony goes for 4 Mill or there abouts I think JC will get a few quid to play with. Priority should be uping the wages to players already on the books to keep them at ER and to attract new guys. I'm sure JC will be bringing in some new faces and I'm confident they will be good signings. GGTTH......things are looking good ;D
