Ex-Fulham favourite Dirk Lehmann has launched
a scathing attack on Hibernian after the club stalled over making a decision
on his future – then released him. "It's unfair because they could
have told me earlier rather than waiting to let me go on holiday,"
he said.
The German striker, who played as a defender towards the end of the season,
added: "Hibs said they would tell what was happening after the Scottish
Cup final.
"But they let me go on holiday first because they were not 100 per
cent sure and now they are not keeping me on. It's hard for me because I
felt the supporters liked me and I loved the club.
"It is really disappointing. After they switched me to centre-half,
it was looking like they would keep me.
"I had a few offers before the transfer deadline, but I let the clubs
wait because I wanted to stay at Easter Road and now I will struggle to
get things moving because other clubs have started recruiting."
A Hibs spokesman maintained they had no hard feelings towards the player,
who joined from Fulham in 1999."He was told by the manager that he
was not required," said a club spokesman.
"We thanked him for his contribution as a player here and wished him
well for the future. We don't want to get dragged into a war of words because
he was a popular player who was well liked by everybody."
