Sooks Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 26 minutes ago, RobNox said: I said it in a previous post, we get £6m every season from our benefactors and FOH. Also, for Foley's £6m he gets a 25% stake in Hibs, Anderson puts in £4m a year for no stake. The only people who have put money into Hearts over the past decade in return for a stake in the club are the FOH pledgers, and we now own the club. Also, it doesn't matter how much money someone is prepared to put into a club, if the proper footballing structure is not in place then they just end up throwing good money after bad, just look at how much Chelsea and Man Utd have spent in recent years, yet both look unlikely challengers for a top 4 spot, let alone getting close to becoming title challengers again. Chuck £6m at Hibs with their recent record in the transfer market and it's highly likely they'll spunk most of that away and still be relying on Hanlon and Stevenson as they get closer to their 40's. How can so many people not understand this ? This guy is putting in about the same as we pull in every year through FOH and benefactors , and there is zero guarantee how much more will come their way . I would start to worry if they had an agreement for 10 million a year or something , but this really is not a big concern . Even if they also get lots of loans , they are just narrowing their pool that they can take them from There is zero about this that I want at Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A total investment of £6m will make zero difference to hibs on field performances, especially as it’s going to be spent on infrastructure. Getting players from other clubs can be good but as Hibs are near the bottom of the Bournemouth pyramid, which players are they going to get. Another major question is how much say does the manager have in who comes in? How much say does the club have n who goes out? All sounds very dodgy to me.

Far too many imponderables about this investment for me. Taking fan rivalry and baiting opposition out of the equation they could be sleep walking into something that will come back to haunt them. Really surprising they don’t see a red flag about the proposed arrangement. I still get shivers down the spine as to how we could have ended up under Vlad. The difference with us was he was the only show in town at the time and we were dead in the water without him. The odds at the time were swayed towards liquidation. Maybe it’s an age thing but I don’t have an unhealthy bitterness towards them as is so evidenced on social media these days. I have a few friends that support them and we enjoy the usual banter which is invariably weighted in my favour. Hibs could and should have considered our blueprint of fan ownership. They should be worried why the Gordon family appears to be cooling their interest. Absentee landlords based thousands of miles away with large portfolios of investments covered by bonds and floating charges. Whatever could go wrong.
