Coburg Hearts Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 To put it in a little perspective, the total wealth* of the new Hibs czar is less than what top English clubs are spending on one player. Add to that, they no longer have the security of having Farmer to fall back on.

If it is its a win win, either a few of them sell to give him over 75% or they organise themselves to oppose selling more to him, piss him off and ruin the fledgling beautiful relationship. I've said it a number of times, if HSL and fan ownership was so important to STF, this would have all been safeguarded as part of the deal. It seems to me that he has sold out from under them and the HSL shares could be effectively worthless in the governance of Hibs going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 1 hour ago, JackLadd said: Not entirely sure on that although they were not in charitable mood after the cup final. If we'd been pumped 5-1 by a Hibs team about to enter admin I'd like to see the sympathy on here. I reckon eff them would be the overriding emotion. They wanted us dead and buried long before 2012 mate, they wanted us to die just before Robinson came to town, and then again at the end of the Romanov era, they were utterly desperate for it to happen, don't get me wrong, there were a few who didn't, but it was definitely a majority who wanted us out of business altogether, so if karma was to come back and bite them, I'd buy popcorn and start smoking a cigar, and watch that shit unfold with the biggest, cheesiest, silliest grin on my face that you can ever imagine!

If he has been looking for a buyer for some time, little doubt that frustration starts to cloud judgement. It may well be that Gordon was the only person to actually express any interest. All smacks of a bit of cut and run by him. Going to be interesting to watch this all unfold. Edited July 5, 2019 by Deevers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montgomery Brewster Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 6 hours ago, Icon of Symmetry said: I actually think our rivalry is easily as hate-filled as the OF one. The unique history of the two clubs has made it extremely bitter. How many other rivalries have a failed takeover bid, an attempt by fans to actively kill off their rival, total domination by one side and two cup humiliations? I think many Hearts supporters underestimate the feelings of hatred they have towards Hearts. They might not always show it, but for the vast majority of them, it is just under the surface.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 If he’s not giving them money for the squad this really is just a handover of control from an extremely safe owner to a possibly unsafe one, with the added downside of the fan ownership dream being killed off. They will find it hard to restart that, it’ll probably take admin or some equally dangerous situation now. OK some infrastructure investment but typically Hibs form declines when they’re building things. Most Hibees I know are sick of the infrastructure chat, they want some real investment in the team.

You are no doubt aware of the plight of Ukio Bankas, UBIG and the dreadful conduct of the major shareholder in both of these companies Vladimir Romanov. But it is another of his ventures, namely his interest in Heart of Midlothian football club in Edinburgh I would like to draw your attention to. Since 2006 Mr Romanov has ploughed many millions of pounds, estimates believed to be as much as ?85million, which has now turned out to be money he nor his banking groups could afford to invest, and these concerns raised many times over by the financial and football authorities here in Scotland. These concerns were continually ignored by officials at Hearts and also by their support who were happy to accept the success that has turned out to be the people of your countries money. Please also note that Romanov was refused permission to purchase shares at 2 other clubs. This is because he could not fund the regimes he was looking to put in place. This was ignored by Heart of Midlothian. They operated throughout his tenure with substantial losses which have now come to be at the Lithuanian tax payers expense. I would like to reiterate at this point that they have spent ?85 million pounds of your money. I would also like to bring to your attention their failure to pay charities, police costs, healthcare costs and uk taxes owed during this time. The current state of affairs at Heart of Midlothian sees them in administration and seeking a deal whereby the shares currently owned by UBIG, Ukio bankas and Ukio Bankas security on Tynecastle stadium in Edinburgh is sold to Bidco for the paltry sum of ?2.5million. It is at this point I would like to make you aware of several areas of prime development land in Edinburgh that have sold recently for many millions of pounds over the ?2.5million currently being offered to your people. It is at this point I would also say that it is my opinion that you would not be serving the people of Lithuania if you did not recover as much of their money that this organisation has taken with no intention of paying back. I would urge you to seek trustworthy advice on the value of the assets before proceeding with any deal as there is no doubt accepting an offer of ?2.5 million is depriving your people of many of millions of pounds. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the disgusting way in which this organisation has squandered many millions of pounds of your countries money. I find it totally unacceptable and would urge you to use all of your power in recouping your peoples money. If the tables were turned, it would be the least I would expect of my government. I would also appreciate your thoughts on the issues I have raised and if you are able to, your intentions in the future regarding these. I look forward to your reply.

I imagine their fan ownership model now dust and if HSL sell the shares there'll be issues over who gets the money! Taking the maroon glasses off, there's no way we can know that. And Farmer would have done his due diligence so we should probably give the new guy the benefit of the doubt. But with money involved who knows. Romanov had some sound plans when he took over, including promoting his business in a new market, and a history of owning sports teams before financial things forced him to back off. That's the worry for Hibs fans now. Whether he gets bored or has to sell, what then? Basically the dilemma faced by all non-fan owned clubs. A local owner is usually a safer bet but not always. Robinson was prepared to sell our ground from under us for money reasons, so this guy could too. To me it sounds like he's jumping on the "rich Americans buying British football clubs" bandwagon either for profile or to further some yet to be revealed business interests. Building a better youth academy is worthwhile - although it's ironic Hibs used to boast they had the best one already (I guess Farmer neglected it) - but does he realise how long it takes to see any benefits? Hibs are now behind us, Celtic and even Motherwell, Rangers and Killie when it comes to developing youngsters either to sell or for the first team. Lots of catching up to do for them.

Gorillajam Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Just been speaking to a member of the board. He's not at all worried and I quote "I don't understand all the excitement" by the announcement of Ron Gordon as the new Hibs owner. Our board feels the media are making far too much hype over his wealth. That the media outlets in Scotland have been reporting him as a US media tycoon which apparently is being laughed at by all of Hibs direct competitors in this league. Why? He sold his businesses for an estimated 75 million. However he also had to paid near 20 million in taxes. According to my source: he's worth no more than 50 million. Apparently the general consensus held by other SPL clubs is they don't understand the excitement/ fuss being made about Ron Gordon and that Hibs will continue to operate financially as they have done previously. They will not be spending the cash anytime soon. Especially not under their new owner. Unfortunately I cannot repeat any news regarding transfer ins AND outs. Other than we may hold out till the end of the window for a replacement for Djoum - in the hope to see if better options present themselves.

So in summary Hibs have been sold to someone considerably less wealthy than their previous owner and who has zero ties to either Hibs or Edinburgh.

Johnny Sandiego Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 What i've found hillarous reading on Hibs.net is the compelete contradiction when it comes to financial matters. When our accounts came out they had a multi page thread full of roasters throwing the toys out the pram demanding transparity about who the mystery benefactor is. Rambling on about cheating and how unfair everything is. Suddenly when some random decides to "clear their debt" without really explaining why, or what this means for HSL etc. they become the complete opposite, and come out with stuff like "Hibs don't have to explain anything" and "why would we tell our rivals about our financial dealings". You really can't make it up. They talked about Ann Budge "proping us up" and how we will be in the same mess when her money runs out, yet here they are lapping up a hand out with one life long fan even hailing it "the greatest day in the clubs history" They have a major identity crisis. They have no idea who they are, where they want to go or what they want to acheive. They hoped this news would be met with wide spread panic from Hearts fans, but only a mere 3 days later the novelty has worn off to the point they are now bickering about it.

Coburg Hearts Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Back in the fifties Hibs fans used to sing a song about Gordon Smith entitled - A Gordon For Me. Thought I'd have a bit fun and change it about a bit. Silly, I know, but what the hell. A Gordon for them A Gordon for them If you're no a Gordon you're no use to them The Petrie's are braw, the Farmer's anaw But the cocky wee Gordon's the pride of them al. But he took all the gold And the ground has been sold The club's on it's knees and it's ready to fold They thought they were braw, thought they had it all But the cocky wee hobos were left with f***-all. So it's Jam Tarts for me It's Jam Tarts for me If you don't follow Hearts you are no use to me Edinburgh City are braw, the Spartan's anaw But Heart of Midlothian are the pride of them all. I'm bored, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only jealous. A halfway house for dossers and incest obsessed bottom feeders doth not make a ''400 room, 5 star hotel'' Thats the best thread on there at the moment. The HSL question has started to raise its head and dissenting voices previous shouted down now seem to be getting slightly more creditability. Kickback is laughing its tits off should perhaps be the title. Edited July 5, 2019 by Rudy T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
