I am still hoping that there's no truth in these rumours. He's been a fantastic player for us. The online abuse especially on social media is absolutely revolting. As an aside are clubs insured for these kind of things? I'd like to think the club will properly look after any player unwell but I'd like to think we too are protected.
Abuse?
Jesus. Some real sad fucks out there in the cyber world.
Players have their own insurance to guard against career ending injury etc. It's too much of a possibility to ignore it.
What the sum assured is will depend on the policy and how much is input. It's possible that clubs will contribute to that too, but I've no idea if that's the case at Hibs.
Our club has a (recent) history of looking after players who hit hard times for one reason or another. Wasn't always the case.
I'm sure the present regime will do what they can for Scott if indeed the rumours are true.
Like you, I hope there's nothing in the rumour.
