Hurlock 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 If I was a betting man..... put your money on Scott Brown signing in the January transfer window. I could be opening up to some abuse here but I think he's the new Barry Ferguson and even Fergie knows he was outplayed by him last weekend. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 The answer to that is Mark Venus - their first team coach and assistant manager. He (and Mowbray) have just signed new rolling contracts and Venus would be the person I'd be sniffing round as well as the likes of Brown and Thompson. I'm not trying to be argumentative here Frankie but what makes you think Mark Venus is so special? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,178 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well I think Hibs have had several young players come through over the last few years as well as good development of existing talent when they took over. Hibs, although inconsistent, also play an exciting brand of football, don't take any prisoners in games and considering their finances seem more than capable of competing with us and Celtic head-to-head. From what I hear, Venus has contributed a lot to that relative success and there's no doubt he'd be an excellent addition to our backroom staff IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nokiss 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Heard from somebody in the pub on saturday that PLG has identified a couple of scottish players he does want to buy. If true, I'd hope Scott Brown would be one of them. Be interesting to see how much money PLG does have available to him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlock 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 What about Joey Barton, could we afford him ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_2010 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 wasnt paul le guen given a dossier of potential scottish targets when he arrived? I'm pretty sure he was... eg he said not to pursue riordan did he not? and hence why he signed for the tims? If that was the case, does that not show that le guen misjudged brown (if he was on the list) and to an extent the style of football that is played in scotland? perhaps, and now he is learning from his mistakes as any man should try and do, i just hope that he gets the time to right the mediocrity that is synonamous (sp) with rangers at the moment (mainly to do with mr murray IMO) and is not forced out the club by some fans! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nokiss 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 What about Joey Barton, could we afford him ? I would love him to be at the GERS, but personally I think his wages would be a stumbling block. Certainly while DM is still pulling the purse strings. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascender 352 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 We just don't have the money to spend at the moment. DM obviously wants to get the club debt free and we're going to have to accept that. OK so he has to shoulder much of the blame for us being this far in debt in the first place, but at least he's sorting things out now, albeit so he can sell the club. I guess part of his reasoning behind getting PLG was due to his track record of bringing young talent on and succeeding on a limited budget. It might be lean times just now, but things can only improve on and off the park over the long term. Just have to be patient. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koeman 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 but I think he's the new Barry Ferguson and even Fergie knows he was outplayed by him last weekend. Scott Brown has the potential to be the next Ian Ferguson never mind Barry Ferguson........... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
