VincentGuerin Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I don't really see the fuss about the statement. We complain when clubs don't communicate with fans, and in this case Hibs have simply been clear and up-front with the support about the situation. All this talk of the impact it will have on the deal in terms of bidding wars, drumming up interest etc is wild. His agent will have been working on this for ages and there aren't going to be clubs sitting reading the Hibs website suddenly saying 'f**k me, we can sign Porteous!'. Clubs who are in any way interested will have known about this way before Hibs did. In terms of what's happening behind the scenes in getting him a move somewhere, this statement makes absolutely no difference whatsoever. It's just communication with the fans and avoids the issue dragging out as a will he/won't he. They've clarified he won't, and that's fair enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he gets a decent gig and doesn't go to the cheeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 9 hours ago, AndyM said: From a personal point being away from the online mouth-frothers and west coast agenda hacks will do him the world of good. There are parallells with the John Soutar situation last year of a young, talented, international defender on freedom of contract choosing their next option. I'm far from convinced Soutar made the right choice. Where's he going to move away from online comments? China? I'm not sure "west coast agenda hacks" have influenced his career too much, but getting away from his jakey mates should help. John Souttar has significantly increased his salary to sit on a different treatment table. A great choice for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not embarrassed, Squonk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
