Brown1982 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 They are in admin in all but name. Their youth academy now “mothballed” for the foreseeable future. All the youth turfed out into the streets when a lot of them will be struggling and football the only thing to look forward to starting back up again. Now that is being taken away from the youngsters. HIBS CLASS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 71 staff binned. They only have around 100 permanent staff so if that's correct then they are done for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jockmac Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I am loving this thread, this could run and run, quality comments with top class piss taking. Keep it flowing lads. They really did pride themselves as a well run club, a great example to all, now the penny has dropped and reality has kicked in. Every time they start concentrating on us it always comes back to haunt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their contributions no longer entitle them to an increased shareholding which was the original agreement with farmer . Big Ron said I will take your cash thanks very much but your no5 getting any more shares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown1982 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Apparently all of a sudden there is not and never has been any point whatsoever of ever having a youth set up and it’s a really clever and welcome cost cutting measure. Not one thought for all the youngsters involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMBO.LOU Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 According to various posts I have read on Hibs,net they have stated the following : 5.5 million in the bank (March 2020) all staff were furloughed so 80% of the wage bill was covered 15% wages were deferred by players until a later date hibs paid the players the other 5%. since then they have had a successful uptake on season tickets and their best selling home shirt in years - so a decent amount of income. now they are back training, furlough will be stopped which is why they are asking players to take a 50% cut and making others redundant. my question is, if all the above is true as their fans have claimed, how can they afford to pay 50% when for the last 3 months they have only been paying 5% and seem to be skint already.

Along with a ONE YEAR first team wage cut. Players are understandably not taking it well apparently. Just for the record before anyone starts getting worried here........

Ex member of the SaS Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hibs fans don't even know what HSL are! Quote: I was vaguely aware of HSL but didn`t really know what they did - they flew completely under my radar. It would be interesting to know how many fans were actually aware of what HSL did before the recent news. AND... I had no idea about HSL, must have been very low key until now. FOH is known to most in the game, we all need to get HSL up there too. Will be signing up. They really are thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex member of the SaS Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Canny understand aw you jamfarts and yer FOH, It's no important for HSL to buy shares like say, it's important to put our cash in to save Big Ron's bank account from dropping below a few millun likes. HSL can sort out buying worthless shares once the clubs is ripped up and sold so Big Ron can make some hard earned cash. Andy I agree at the moment that HS being able to buy shares is not important. IMO when this crisis is over the issue of HS being able to buy more shares is an issue that can be discussed. They conveniently forget HSL was dumped because BIG Ron said they can't buy more shares.
