I get the feeling he see’s himself as a future AB and is in a win/win situation things go well with the Gordon/Foley hookup he is happy as a fan. Things go south he is in the right place to know it’s coming and snap the club up and take it forward possibly with a new version of HSL.

He has got himself into a place where he can continue to see under the bonnet. He must have realised HSL was not going to be a success this time around and manoeuvred into position. It would be akin to having AB on the board during the Romanov era. Time will tell if he is going to have the power to act to prevent the failure at Hibs and to what level he can soften the blow He seems to be the only safety net currently at Hibs.

There was a period of time where our one time two decent newspapers the Scotsman and Edinburgh Evening News just completely abandoned all pretence of being impartial on politics and sport . They drove away a big chunk of their readership . Idiots like Aidan Smith , and his Hibby pals made an absolute midden of the football coverage , and the political position taken on Scottish politics drove away a great many more . This was at a time when online media was starting to threaten their existence . They basically committed suicide by alienating too many of their former readers at a time when they most needed people to keep buying and subscribing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy mistake for "Banderson" to make since it was the Scottish Cup tie against Spartans when Kent scored but even a basic editor should have spotted that.

I remember he was writing in, I think, the Daily Mail, during the Vlad years. He took great delight in writing articles putting Hearts down at every opportunity. One described us as "a dying club", with the fans singing "We're ***** and we know we are". The second part was probably true at that time but look at us now, Greechan!

Ex member of the SaS Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 The offside call at the penalty shows even VaR didn't think it was a penalty but after the fuss made with Brenda VaR had to highlight it ( the penalty ) or Sevco fans would think they favoured Celtic. Both cheeks seem to think the other is getting everything, when every other fan knows it's them getting stuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
