Hibs Rubbish Reports Of £1.5m Bolton Bid For Kevin Thomson.

Last updated : 01 September 2006 By Steve Forbes


Hibs chairman Rod Petrie today moved to "rubbish" reports in a Glasgow newspaper that Hibs had received an 11th hour bid from Bolton for Captain Kevin Thomson, last night.


The paper in question claimed Hibs had ignored a £1.5m bid by
Bolton and that it had annoyed the English club but Rod Petrie this afternoon moved to rubbish these reports.



Petrie said:

"I got a message late yesterday afternoon to say that someone from Bolton had called and would call back within half-an-hour.

"There was no return contact number given and, when I looked up the FA Premiership handbook, the name I'd been given was not listed for Bolton Wanderers so I had no-one to go back to.

"I was in the office for four hours after that and I didn't receive a call, a message or a fax. I checked all the fax and messaging machines before I went home and there was nothing. If Bolton made a bid it certainly wasn't at this club."
