If we start paying our "star players" £3k a week, how long before the lesser players have their agents knocking on the door looking for more money? It's an easy road to go down and you end up paying out more than you bring in. Why lose £2-3 million every year when the best you can hope for is the occasional 3rd place and a few quid from UEFA games? No thanks, I'll take what Hibs have to offer.

On another point, Jones' agent reckons we should pay him more because we value him at £1million. Will agents now be telling us that they will play for nothing for 6 months when they've signed a pre-contract with one of the Old Firm and they have no value to Hibs?

Somehow I can't see it happening.
