They spoke about us not winning a game since the Cup Semi in the same time I believe the only win hibs had was the derby one. But everything there is amazing. Heckingbottom doesn't imo have a great record after his first summer. But I could be biased 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That situation has been fixed. Several months ago we installed significantly higher server capacity and reconfigured our hardware, so JKB can now handle a much higher load.

I suspect the following. Can you tell me if this is likely or not. Gordon wants to make money through player trading. He is only interested in the academy and selling players for profit, and taking a percentage for himself. He needs to get their training facility and academy up to scratch to do this. So he is going to put money in, and the Hibs fans are going to have to pay him that money back through DDs/HSL. If the payments don’t come, then he keeps East Mains and separates it from the club as a separate entity. cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyesandears Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 If he is taking security over East Mains then it suggests that he is only offering loans to Hibernian which are protected against the value of East Mains. You do not need to take security over something you already own. It suggests East Mains may be split off into a separate company or will be treated as a different 'vehicle' from the club.

He met with the Hibs Supporters Clubs Association St Patrick’s Branch, and he told them that HSL’s share buying scheme is “dead and buried”, and that the fans would need to “pony up” to pay for the renovation of East Mains, at an estimated cost of £3-4m. He has taken out security against this facility. I think when you take all of those things in to consideration, it only really leaves one possible course of action. 🤷🏻♂️ He he wants to make money from player trading. He wants to change the purpose of HSL’s DDs to paying him back for upgrading East Mains, and he is taking out security to ensure this happens. Of course, he will also be taking a salary as he goes, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the the £3-4m loan to upgrade EM will have interest attached.
