Now were definitely not getting the windfall...Vente will be gone.

He's got a high pedigree in Netherlands...and doesn't want tobe here.

£2 million plus sell ons does it for me.

So you're already convinced we won't qualify for the group stages?

The crucial signing for me is Rocky.
Triantis we can do nothing about other than ask how much.
Youan I'm not so sure about. When he's on it, hes brilliant. If that is what we can expect from him then yes, hes a plus. The guy who was doing 'keepie up's at Dens when the manager was trying to organise the side which had been reduced to ten men, can GTF.
Vente I would like to see return. He scores goals.

Spot on re Youan, this team is built on TEAM spirit , not individual big I am’s . I’d be happy to get some cash in for him 🤞👍
 
Depending on seedings and whether they get through the first qualifying, round we could be playing against AEK Larnaca (Cyprus), Spartak Trnava (Slovakia), Paks (Hungary), Prishtina (Kosovo) plus others still to be confirmed. Some very winnable ties and good trips as well. There is a team from Kazakhstan too - Aktobe. Don't fancy going there though.

Are they not the 'seeded' teams that go straight into the 2nd qualifying round like us? I'm not even sure if you 'have' to draw a seeded team or if we will be at home or away first. There doesn't seem to be a clear explanation anywhere.

If we were seeded , surely an away leg first would be the case OR , the fact you are seeded and getting a supposedly easier ( unseeded team) would mean you’d be at home first 🤷‍♂️ like I said previously, wheres Jack K when you need him 😩just have to wait and see

Seeded team plays an unseeded team,whoever is drawn out 1st is at Home 1st in the qualifiers.
If we beat a seeded team then we become seeded for the next round.

I'm sure if you beat a seeded team you also assume their higher rating for the next draw you reach.
 
As I understand this...

Being seeded does not equate to being at home in the 2nd leg. Just as being seeded in the last 16 of the League Cup here doesn't mean a home tie.
It just means that the seeded teams will play an unseeded team.

We're not going to be seeded for our first game🙁.

However, it's sort of a "fixed bracket" draw when it comes to seedings.
If an unseeded team beats a seeded team, the victorious unseeded team takes its vanquished opponent's seeded spot in the next round.
It's like if you beat Jannik Sinner or Luke Littler in round one of a tennis or darts event, you can't play Carlos Alcaraz or Michael Van Gerwen in round two.

It is possible for us to get an opening draw against any of the "minnows" that have Hermit Crab licking his lips, but only if one of those minnows beats a seeded team like Shakhtar, Legia, Partizan, Sheriff or Cluj in the first round and takes the seeded position that was intended for their victims.

Unless that happens, we're going to be up against a seeded team: Anderlecht, Braga, Young Boys or the like... and most of those big Eastern European teams in round one will still be in the seeded bag for the draw if they make round two.
One possibly saving grace is that semi-pish teams who play in Europe and lose in round two every year obviously have enough co-efficient points from five campaigns to be seeded. Teams from decent leagues who've scarcely played in Europe recently - Utrecht for instance - won't have enough co-efficient points to be seeded, so at least we'll avoid them.

From a bookie's perspective, we're likely to open with a tie where we're 6-4 to qualify - but that's about what we were against Luzern.
We've to win three ties to make the Europa League proper.
A winning treble of three 6-4 chances comes to more than 14-1😕
It's by no means impossible to qualify for the Europa League, but making the Conference League, with its Jolly Boys Outings to Linfield, Shelbourne, The New Saints, Zimbru Chisinau, FK Vetra, Dinaburg Daugavpils or clubs who slaughter goats in the dressing room as part of their pre-match ritual is more likely.

That's the spirit.
It's patently unfair that our reward for finishing third after a long slog is to have to play qualifiers when Aberdeen who have won a few one-off cup ties get the VIP treatment.
But what can you do?
 
As I understand it, to get to the Europa League group stages we are going to have to do something that no Hibs team has ever done before which is win 3 European ties in a row. Whereas there are three routes to get to the Conference League group stages which are WWL, WLW or LWW, which looks within the realms of possibility, if only just.
 
At least it wasn't the gunts that denied us guaranteed european group stage football. We'll be preparing for at least four games in Europe, they'll be preparing for four games in the League Cup group stage. :yams1:

It's really about who you draw and where.

I think we're in a good place to land the conference play off legs. But the teams that drop in alongside us can be scary.

Teams like Chelsea, Fiorentina, Betis all dropped in at this stage last season. Kilmarnock ended up having to play Copenhagen. Think they did okay, but just shows how tough it becomes.

Celtic are dicks
 
Hopefully we get a good draw for OUR first qualifier in the Europa (QR2) , if we make it through that then worst case scenario is we have 1 qualifier for conference (albeit we'll likely be unseeded).

Like others, i missed out on the original date for 1st leg ,cancelled due to 9/11.
Man Utd were due there that week as well (Athens) and flight prices/packages went through the roof.
I got 2 weeks S/C holiday in Santorini for the price(cheaper maybe) some were paying for a return flight to Athens. !!
So my lovely wife paid for us both 😁!! What a lovely island !
We were into our 2nd week when 9/11 happened.
I had ferry/hydrofoil all booked up ready to go and ....so that was that . 😔
Only compensated,just a wee bit, by such a memorable night at The Holy Ground, even though we lost the tie.
Incredible night.

Aye 🤔
Was it intelligence about possible threats.dangers to large sporting events or just closing down airspace for a couple of days?
I cant remember.
I do recall my brother was on the club charter and they were actually on the plane at Edinburgh when flight got cancelled.
Edit :
It was a UEFA decision to cancel all games that week.

Olympiakos angered by Uefa decision

Olympiakos, who were due to play Manchester United tonight in the Champions League, have been angered by Uefa's decision to postpone this week's European ties in the wake of the terrorist attack on the United States.

That was a total nonsense. Cancelled when we were in Edinburgh on the charter but they made us take off anyway. UEFA said games were cancelled out of “compassion”. Total bollocks. Went back with about 200 other hibbies for the replay which was an experience
