They tried a buy out, failed, and they are turning to their die hards for cash. Hibs fans have always been so quick to put their hands in their pockets... STF is gonna kill them.

Mac_fae_Gillie Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Short term they maybe unaffordable but a fans group buying up shares over time would not be out of the question for any club of their size. Farmer and other owner always say thy will sell t those with clubs interest at heart. Would not be surprised to see Fans groups cropping u a lot in the SPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Article refers to Foundation of Hearts. Wonder if this will also involve funding club \ raising cash BEFORE ownership as well. Hearts are much stronger support wise imo which is what matters. Hibs could be a small community owned club though. Road they started when they allowed Farmer to save them.

They'd still need a very rich benefactor to buy out Sir Tom Farmer and Petrie. Yep. With all the money's he's spent on the stadium and training ground, Farmer's not going to just give it away to someone else to make a profit from. Someone will have to pay for those assets or strike a deal to rent them (but splitting the club from the ground could be unpopular) for any sort of fan ownership scheme to have a hope.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 About time we had a private gullible twats board to discuss such issues... Have bajillions and Sergey been seen over there recently.. Vagillions has almost completely disappeared since his rabid and frankly suspicious behaviour before Budge delivered. Sergey in fits and starts. Despite my history with the fantasist Pervy Sergey, I still see Vagillions as the biggest villain in all of that. There is no way Vagillions is not a person in a position where he has abused his influence. We all know the rumours, but I am convinced he is potentially in serious shit, if his identity is ever proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
