Well we must be ****'s ourselves then since we nicked them from County!

Let's not let this thread turn into a "Brew forced Rankin out" arguement, as we've been through that many times this year already  :rolleyes02:

[caleyrule]

We cld b classed as **** but we paid the money that county wanted for rankin and cowie but the money which we got for rankin and what we may get from cowie wouldnt b market value as they think they r bigger clubs and can steal our players on a cheap

[RiG]

Hibs are a much bigger club than ICT. I seriously hope you aren't trying to suggest otherwise?

Anyway, Hibs have been after Chipper for months.

*RiG Exclusive*  :004:

[caleyrule]

no i dont like it but we have 2 admit that hibs r a bigger team than us it admit that

the race for Don Cowie

What race ? He is under contract for another year and both him (comments in papers last week) and the club (comments in papers today) want him to extend that.

Take it from me, Cowie isn't going anywhere at the moment  :004:

Are you hiding in his cupboards again?

Yes yes very good.

Nothing at all do with seeing Donald Park and John Rankin at Hibs and putting 2 and 2 togethor :004:

No....

Actually no. I have "sources". Honest  :015:

[Alex MacLeod]

Don wants to stay at ICT.........Grazza wants to tie him up with an extension to his existing contract. So unless a big offer comes in from Hibs or anyone else then I think he'll be with us for a few years to come. Don doesn't want to move away from his home.

[MissICT]

Cowie is not going! End of story!

[Kingsmills]

If the club go about it's business correctly then Don Cowie will be contracted to ICT for another three seasons come the end of summer. Then, if Hibs, or indeed anyone else, want him they will have to pay a vry substantial fee well in excess of what Rankin went for.

[MissICT]

Brewster better sign him fast!!

[RiG]

*Cowie set to snub Dons and Hibs*

Fantastic news. Obviously his family situation means he is less likely to move for the time being and I'm delighted that he looks set to snub the interest from Aberdeen and Hibs.

[kencar]

Nice work by the Daily Record taking quotes directly from the P&J article yesterday  :015:

Good news none the less

[MissICT]

Hes no going! Fab news! Told u he wasnt going! :-) !

[Scotty]

Like earlier in the thread, I ask again ... what "race" ? He wants to stay, the club want him to stay and all we need to do is make sure we get the finger out and extend his contract sooner rather than later ........

Its silly season in the papers and this has had way more column inches than it merited !

[RiG]

Not looking likely sadly.

[Alex MacLeod]

Wouldn't say that just yet RiG. He doesn't want to commit just now. Maybe wants to wait and see how the seasons going to pan out. Could there be a management change? Will he start every game? Will the team get of the blocks running? etc. etc.

Nah. He'll be off.  :020:

He's an ambitious guy Alex, he won't be at ICT for years I don't think. If he has a good start and teams like Aberdeen and Hibs are still interested in taking him on he will be away. He wants to take the next step up in his career. Maybe not right this minute but certainly in the next year or so. We should enjoy seeing him in an ICT top while we can  :003:

I think you are right rig, and boy do Hibees need him more than us right now.

I fancy Hibs to drop into the bottom six this year.
