rory78 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 IF Villa are relegated Mcginn will command a big fee thus helping out our Hobo neighbours - if they go down I'd imagine he'll still go for about £35 million and if those mutants get 10% that will help big time - my preference is they sell Grealish and keep McGinn FTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants to keep them as a football club then footballing debt would have to be honoured. He might have his eyes on the real estate of course. I don't know what the corporate structure is now, but I seem to remember that Farmer was able to walk away from 4 million of debt to the bank because of a convoluted ownership structure, under which he could have went into admin, shed the debt but stayed in control. Maybe wee Ron has that as a backup plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an owner we know will do everything she can to help the club come out of this as strongly as possible. Every Hibs fan I know still isn't sure what Gordon's motives are. This whole thing couldn't;t have come at a worse time for them. If Farmer was still in charge they'd be way more likely to rally round the club. As it stands, they're not sure how Gordon will use their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that's 10% of 35,000,000 or 10% of 0 is the risk/reward for them. What has and can happen is Villa could offer to buyout the sell on clause for 300k or whatever, cutting a deal with (a distressed) Hibs.

Made a huge mistake with buying the hobos 1) They are smelly tramps with not a bolt between them 2) They have had maybe 5 succesful transfers in their history most of them were when Rangers and Celtic were spending big.
