martoon Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 If Ron does have dastardly intentions toward our dear neighbours, the shit hits the financial fan and so on, how would individual JKB'ers react? Glee? Help with fundraising to help save them? Or somewhere in between? Just curious about the prevailing mood toward Hibernian and their fans if they did suffer an extinction event.

Even these basic matters aren’t grasped by those hoboeconomic experts. Our accounts which have been published and widely reported on in the media confirmed our income and expenditure including our benefactors, who seem to have put more money into us than their sugar daddy has put into them.

Coburg Hearts Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 1 hour ago, sadj said: Read the latest comment from the club its hilarious its about supporters owning 1/3 of the clubs shares then they pumped in £770 in 4/5 years and supporters own 15%. Ron Con cleared the mortgage then took security of everything putting 1.25mil in their bank. He said hes willing to invest in the club to take them forward , but alongside the fans. So kinda saying get on my pony express. Anything i invest i expect back it has taken a wee while to sink in, but I think the muppets are slowly beginning to realise what may be going on here. Good thing for us Jambos is they are hostages to fortune......Ron Gordon's fortune. Not much they can do but hope and pray he is not a Charles Green type character.The next 5 days should give us an indication of his intentions, but it's not looking good for them.

JFK-1 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Yes all rather comical. I remember when the Ron came in there were instant predictions of sweeping all before them and even challenging the OF for the title. Not quite the outcome though is it? Currently challenging Livi for 5th/6th spot. The OF generally spend in excess of £10 million in the Summer window. They can offer upwards of a million a year in wages. It baffles me that they seriously thought this guy would just throw that kind of money in with zero chance of ever realising that kind of income to cover it.

I would honestly have been sympathetic towards them, hoped they found a way and maybe have helped a bit by chucking a fiver in a collection or something a few years ago. After all, they are the game most of us probably look out for at the fixture announcement and have friends/family/work colleagues etc we all have banter with about the derbies and I'd be disappointed not to have that. That all changed during our darkest time when they acted the way they did.

Kiwidoug Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 They've now got a thread on their own finances. Would you put any more money into Hibs. It's a poll with very few responses. Of those who have, 60% have said no. Didn't we raise £800,000 in a weekend during that fateful St Mirren game after which HMRC were going to put us into liquidation? Pretty sure we did.

We had a revenue target and to date we’re possibly looking like being around 400k short of it by the end of the season due to the current form. Edit: Just fact checked, it was at the FoH AGM Ann stated along these lines... Having recorded an operating profit of £1.6m for 2018/19, Hearts are currently £400,000 down on its revenue target for this financial year Edited January 26, 2020 by gjcc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
