Hibs fans declare all out attack on Petrie and Butcher

[Guest Bilel Mohsni]

[beavers]

Hibs last reported was debt was around the ?5 million mark does that include what they owe the parent company or is that another issue.

As far as I'm aware this doesn't include the money they owe to the parent co. Sure I read that it's been offset until 2015 however I could be getting mixed up.

Probably not. Did you know that mortgages aren't real debt?

[The Old Tolbooth]

When Sir Tom Farmer saved their sorry tinpot club back in the early 90s after a huge heads up from Wallace Mercer, he CLEARLY stated that he had absolutely zero interest in football, and that he did it for the local community, but the club would have to be self sufficient and live within their means (something which they have failed to do since getting relegated in 1998)

 

Sir Tom Farmer is also on record as stating that he (and just let this sink in for a minute) "wished he had a Rod Petrie running every single arm of his businesses"

 

Rod Petrie is the 2nd biggest shareholder at Hibs with a stake of 12%, and is very much trusted to run that club as he sees fit (bleeing it dry with huge salaries over the years), which means that Rod Petrie will be going absolutely nowhere any time soon unless Hibs can rally their pathetic, stagnant, non existent fan base into some sort of fans takeover.

 

It doesn't matter a jot that Leanne (sp?) wasserface has been brought in to cover the cracks, because Petrie will stll be running the show as he's the 2nd biggest shareholder. Clearing out from the very bottom to the very top will require quite a lot of compensation for various individuals, and that's money that Hibs simply do not have (even although their deluded fans appear to think they're cash rich!)

 

Tick, and indeed, tock!

 

[Flogel98]

Don't think it does. Might not include the stand money either.

Poetic.

As posted above, they have sleptwalked their way to relegation due to their over-the-top obsessing over our desired demise.

 

Our demise hasn't materialised Hibs.

 

We have been at the bottom and now starting our recovery.

 

It could have ended badly for us...it never which is fantastic news for Edinburgh's premier club.

 

Edinburgh' s 'best well run club' is still heading for their bottom because relegation reality is merely the trigger for more impending histrionics.

 

The whole of Scottish football is laughing at YOU Hibs, not Hearts.

 

Thanks for that.

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Sir Tom Farmer (who has no interest in football) will surely come to the conclusion one day that bankrolling Hibs is all too much hassle and just a waste of money that could otherwise go to some of the charities he supports and is genuinely interested in.

 

The mutants won't know what too do, their hardcore fans will have dwindled to very small numbers and they will be helpless to save the club.

 

 

 

[May one-six]

I'm still thinking Rod's going to announce a FOH type of idea some point soon. Farmer's getting on, Rod must be fed up of the continual flak (unless he's some sort of masochist) and such an idea could be presented as parting gift. They say to the supporters 'we'll give you the club at a reasonable price, now organise yourselves or shut up'. Of course, the supporters would then have to take some responsibility. Whatever happens, I'm sure a sell up of some sorts is on the way.

All that is missing from this fiasco is some blowfish standing on the breeze block staircase, screaming where's ra deeds??????

Ive been told a few times that its actually 31% he owns.

It's all over now for Petrie. the losers net admin team have sent him an e-mail.

 

 

Email from the admin team at Hibs.net to Hibernian Board members

 

 

Following recent events at Easter Road and the club statement which followed them, the admin team at hibs.net sent the below email to every member of the Hibs board first thing this morning.

 

Please be aware that we make no claims to speak on behalf of users of the site. Each of us put our name to the email and the views expressed are that of a group of individuals.

 

 

 

It is with a heavy heart that we as supporters of Hibernian FC feel compelled to write this letter. However in a downward spiral of lows we may well have hit rock bottom as a club.

 

As a group we are all supportive of the decision to bring Leeann Dempster to the club as Chief Executive, her background suggests reason to be optimistic. However this optimism is balanced by the confirmation that Rod Petrie is to continue as Chairman, albeit in a non executive capacity. We have no confidence in Mr Petrie and feel his continued presence at the club will prevent Ms Dempster properly engaging with the fanbase and rebuilding the broken relationship.

 

While Rod Petrie remains on the board of Hibernian FC there will be a large section of the support that will distance themselves from the club. He has lost the trust of the vast majority of the support and these fans simply will not return while he remains involved. If nothing else he should realise this himself and remove himself from the role forthwith.

 

There have been statements issued recently suggesting wholesale changes at Easter Road, perhaps including a change in ownership structure. If this is the case it must be made public as soon as possible, again to begin to rebuild a relationship with the support. If no ownership change is in the pipeline then our current owner must state exactly what he expects from the club, as a football club not a business.

 

After the 2012 Scottish Cup Final a meeting was held in the Hibernian Supporter Club at Sunnyside. The board members present were warned by an individual supporter, with support from the floor, that the board as a whole were on their last chance. The events of the last few days have seen that last chance well and truly blown. As a small group of supporters connected by our ownership and management of Hibs.net we hereby propose a vote of no confidence in Mr Rod Petrie.

Hopefully they produce another wee camouflage pamphlet with 'battle-plans', 'military goals', and 'enemy targets'. Maybe even release 'Most Wanted' playing cards like the US did showing Saddam etc.

It was only recently in my local a guy who is a MBE or something and has something to do with Hibs youth told me. Always has his badge with the MBE on it stuck to his suit jacket haha

 

No reason to disbelieve him naturally and have asked it to a couple of other hibbies. One says its true and the other thinks its true.

 

Is there anyone else who has heard this?

[tartofmidlothian]

It sounds like another 'we deserve better' campaign similar to the orcs. They somehow have a sense of entitlement based on what I don't know.

 

Hibs have been average at best during my lifetime (40+ years) yet there is a mythical 'Hibs way' to play the game. I have no idea what this style actually is.

 

If they want a clear out they should start with the fans as they are the root cause of the problems with their unrealistic targets for the club.

 

It's no surprise that clubs whose fans have much more realistic views are the ones who punch above their weight, ICT, St Johnstone and Ross Co for example.

 

with that last point.

Soap opera stuff. You couldn't make this up.

[julienbrellier]

They are in absolute turmoil. Never seen them this angry before.

 

 

Should we not be doing more to ensure that Petrie and Butcher stay? For example angry letters to councillors, freedom of information requests or using insiders to gather information that we can ultimately use to distrupt the Hibs fans' movement.
