 All 3 are under achieving cunts if you are being honest.

Aye. Thats it really. 

Can you imagine how grim our 118 year history would look if we didn't get lucky by appointing one of the worlds greatest as well. We talk about being historically bigger and better, but take the Fergie years out and we've pretty much always been shite.

Other than on the amount of season tickets sold, what on earth do you base that ludicrous statement on??? You are really justifying the Dundee stereotype there...

His name is Don, he supports Dundee. 

Both Edinburgh clubs are bigger than them so he's 100% correct

In what way are they bigger than us? Average attendance, slightly but in no other way are they bigger than us. Overall history... NOPE. Recent history... NOPE. Finances... NOPE. Both are yo-yo teams. Since the Premier League started in 75, Hearts have been relegated 5 times and Hibs 3 times, that's not big teams!!

Surely every club gets its history by appointing a great manager at the right time! Wenger at Arsenal is a prime example 

[The Hulk]

Martin Boyle will have his reasons for staying at Hibs. Possibly similar reasons to why he chose to represent Australia rather than having just a bit of patience to wait & play for Scotland. Rejection & impatience. There's the boy's character right there.

There's no trophies for being bigger. It's a non-argument.

It's knowing that we're better that counts.

We are a better club.

That was quick. 

Makes us look a bit daft though. 

Why does it?

We made an offer - it was turned down. 

Hibs then bumped up his wages, which he’s obviously going to say yes to,

Happens in football all the time.

Move on, get someone else.

The new contract for Boyle has been on the table for months. Aberdeen used this offer simply to see if they could turn Boyles head.

Just don’t see why there’s all such a big fuss about it.

It’s commonplace in football. 

And besides, I’m not sure paying more than £500k for a bloke with no sell on value & a questionable fitness record would’ve made sense.

Invest that in a younger player in his earlyish twenties with potential to sell on in a few years for a 7 figure sum.

Even if he'd wanted to come the financials would have soon made it a high risk venture.  High fee and high wages would have been the order of the day.

Aberdeen will know fine how the clause works. Their theory will be leak the bid so that another european club makes the £500k bid and if we top it hopefully Hibs will see sense and take the extra money rather than being stubborn.

He may or may not come but I'd be very surprised if he agrees to sign a new deal within the transfer window. 

Boyle will be a Dons man whether it's now, January or 2023.

That hasn’t aged well 

[Ernie McCracken]

For it to be a tactic to force another club's hand, there needs to be a real threat that we would actually sign Boyle. 

Hibs and Boyle have made it clear that won't happen, and all this does is show the other club that our options are reduced.  So hardly likely to make them panic and sell at a cut price rate.

Pretty sure he's more of a Hearts fan, family certainly are anyways, not that it matters, go where the money is, I'd play for Rangers if they were offering me £500 more than the Aberdons.

Well if he’s a hearts fan nothing to worry about, makes him worse than a cunt

Aberdeen had the chance to pick him up as a youth when he played for Lewis United, they had a chance to pick him up when he played for Montrose, they had a chance to pick him up when he played for Dundee, they didn't. Hibs gave him his chance, imagine growing up as an Aberdeen fan and your team ignores you. I wouldn't blame him for extending with Hibs. 

Aberdeen had the chance to sign me as a youth but chose not to, I’d still drop everything in a heart beat to join them

Yip.

£4K per week for 3 years is £600k

Over £1m of a layout on an injury prone player with no re-sale value is a lot.

Boyle said so himself today. "Nothing changed." Aberdeen I guess, would have been monitoring the situation and got word he was about to sign the new deal - they then tried to turn his head.

[super_al]

Interesting video on Harry Kanes alleged gentleman's agreement to be sold. Similar to the Ferguson situation in my mind.

Yup amateur hour from Ferguson's agent.  Not that we're in a position to be criticising amateur transfer dealings after what just happened.

Considering Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs are the next 3 biggest clubs in Scotland after the ugly sisters their overall records are shocking. I've said for a long time it's embarrassing and unfortunately a sad reflection of Scottish football as a whole. Can't think of too many other leagues in europe where only 2 clubs have won the league in the last 36 years.

Boyle would have been a very good signing he's ripped us a new arsehole on a few occasions now. Can't blame Hibs for pulling out the stops to keep him he's a big player for them.

Dutch and Spanish really only 2 winners historically with like our league in the 60’s and 80’s a few other winners I think ? !

could be wrong and wish I’d googled now

5 different clubs have won the Dutch league this century alone. Exactly the same in Spain 5 clubs have won it since 2000. 

Since we won the league in 85 only twice since then have a non ugly sister club realistically come close to winning the league (Hearts in 86 and Aberdeen a whole 30 years ago in 91).

It’s not even close. Shame on any dons fan trying to kid themselves on that those Edinburgh clowns are in the same league as the dons.

 

european history - check

moping around the lower leagues history - check

 

NOT EVEN CLOSE
