Leyther_Matt Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Anyone know what happened here then? http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derek-riordan-claims-hes-victim-7058598 He was absolutely outstanding as a kid coming through at Hibs under Tony Mowbray, arguably the most talented of the crop of the time that included Garry O'Connor, Steven Whittaker, Kevin Thomson and Scott Brown. Scored from all over the park, set goals up for fun and equally adept with either foot. Made some questionable decisions off the pitch (much like O'Connor), wasted a couple of years sat on the bench at Celtic and never recovered. He went back to play at Hibs a few years ago and was pretty dreadful, as you'd expect with the list of clubs he's had since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Some people still don't seem to realise the financial issues that we currently have. They would rather the club went to the wall rather than sell a player.

Farrelli Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 If we sell Clough, Davies, Wheater, Dervite and Amos we won't get another ten points this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 23, 2015 Site Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2015 In the scheme of things, 750 grand will keep us going for three weeks ish. Unless a deal was close and this tidied us over it seems almost futile. Having him onboard for as long as absolutely possible might make us just that bit more attractive to a potential buyer. Beggars can't be choosers though I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 What's the price that would prevent you from doing that? - presumably there must be one?!? I want to see him reach something like his potential but we should be looking at minimum of 4 million with big clauses for future sell on. This lad is the real deal.

This lad is the real deal. So is anything less than £4M the magic figure where you fuck it off? Edited December 23, 2015 by Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Any bid over 600k pays the tax bill. A bill that needs paying in the next 25 days or we get wound up. I'd rather lose any wavering fans like MK than lose the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Say we go into admin and go down I'd rather sell physical assets like the ground and training facilities before we allow our brightest and most valuable player go for well less than his potential value. When we go down we're going to need players like Clough to get us back, not throw away a chance to actually realise the potential of a home grown talent for 3 more weeks of uncertainty. Because let's be honest we're down either way and i'd rather it be with him after whatever financial penalties than scraping by with a bunch of fucking no marks that we'd be left with. He's one of the very few shining lights that keeps drawing md back at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 You'd rather sell the ground than a player? - really? If we're saying that £750k is the amount we sell him for then the question is pointless because it won't make a blind bit of difference in the long run. We cannot afford to sell him for that little.

Anderson Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Yes, but he said sell the ground.....that really would be madness I said sell any of the physical assets before we even think about selling our best players. At that point it really is over for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd happily sell some of our physical assets, but I'd much rather we sold members of our playing staff than our ground though - if we have no ground then we really are in the shit - look what happened to Coventry the other season For what it's worth, I don't think Clough would be sold for £750K, and there is nothing at all to suggest that we will be. He might be sold in the near future though, and if selling him for a decent amount buys us until the end of the season, then so be it (especially if we get a "loan back") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
