Rod Petrie speaks about Sevco's bids for Hibs midfielder Scott Allan.
| 00:00 - 00:05 | I first heard of their interest during an early morning jog to the bank to cash in the season ticket money |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | It was on the Radio Scotland sports report. |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | My first reaction was one of anger. |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | I was like "How dare they declare an interest in one of our players without telling us first!" |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | Then I heard about the amount they had bid for him! |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | £175,000! |
| 00:29 - 00:30 | It gets better! |
| 00:31 - 00:36 | It wasn't even all up front, it was to be in instalments! |
| 00:38 - 00:39 | It's true! |
| 00:42 - 00:47 | So when I got back to Easter Road, I got straight on the phone to Dave King and said "Dave are you taking the piss here pal?" |
| 00:48 - 00:53 | But he said "No, that's our offer, I think it's a fair price for someone in the last year of their contract!" |
| 00:58 - 01:01 | I know how you feel, I nearly pished my trousers as well! |
| 01:04 - 01:08 | I know, it's incredible! |
| 01:14 - 01:25 | This is one of Scotland's most exciting talents we're talking about here and these tight fisted bastards want to sign him for £175,000! |
| 01:35 - 01:51 | So then a couple of days later, I get another phone call from Dave King's PA who said they were prepared to increase their offer...wait for it...£225,000! |
| 01:56 - 02:03 | I said "Tell Dave no deal. I don't even get out of my bed for less than £500,000 |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | So they came back again...wait for it! |
| 02:15 - 02:28 | They came back with a third bid the other day for £300,000! |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | £300,000? |
| 02:30 - 02:31 | Yeah that's right! |
| 02:38 - 02:45 | Three bids they've made for him and even if you combine them together, it wouldn't be enough to sign Scott Allan! |
| 02:48 - 02:54 | Excuse me whilst I wipe my tears away, I haven't laughed so much since I heard the old Rangers had gone into liquidation a couple of years ago! |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | So what did Leeann have to say? |
| 02:59 - 03:04 | Leeann's reaction was worse than mine, she calls them smelly, inbred, penny pinching hun mutants! |
| 03:06 - 03:14 | That's her being quite complimentary as well, you should hear her talk about them on a bad day! |
| 03:15 - 03:19 | You're still thinking about that £175,000 offer eh!? |
| 03:24 - 03:27 | I know, that's Sevco 5088 for you, what an embarrassment! |
| 03:31 - 03:35 | Maybe they should ask Mike Ashley for another loan from Sports Direct! |
