I do wonder if this is the start and other clubs fall by the wayside. season tickets on their own aren’t actually a huge part of the revenue.. say 8,000 at an average of £200 (probably £150 for them given their fondness for ripping the club off buying concessions) that’s £1.6m at best pre tax.. that won’t cover the costs of the farm or the wages they promised which they now can’t pay..

Their fans contribute to the NHS with £5 extra to get the NHS sponsor, but once that cash has very kindly went to the NHS they must be raking it in charging £50 for that Macron cheap rag. The NHS sponsor is definitely the selling point. Must be great 'using' the NHS to generate their best shirt sales ever when you can't get a real shirt sponsor. Yes I am a cynical old git..........

I do wonder if this is the start and other clubs fall by the wayside. The difference between Hibs situation compared to us and Aberdeen, is we seem to have people prepared to put money in to see us through the crisis. Teams like St Johnstone, Hamilton, St Mirren etc, have much lower wage bills and the furlough scheme will have covered a higher percentage of their outgoings. Ron Gordon's plan was to take 500k a year out of Hibs like Farmer was doing, I can't see him indulging in any charity work down Lochend way anytime soon, and they'll just have to cut their cloth accordingly. Of course Leanne will now have to reduce the budget because they voted themselves down a place, and they voted to pay millions of pounds back to broadcasters by finishing the season early. Then there's the potential liability arising from the court case... Karma really is a bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Hibs are in the shit. It was obvious last season, which made our form double annoying. Like when we were in trouble under Romanov their fans got more obsessed with us than worrying about their own team. Ross is still very unconvincing for them so far. Their squad is incredibly thin with no assets and no good young players. I think they have one striker who cost them a packet and he looks like the type who would put on about a stone in weight over the last few months. Their other striker wants to play for Rangers. They have one goalie who is also probably their only player who might attract a bit of interest. Can't see how they can be confident of having a decent team by August. And their solution to that seems to be to abandon a youth policy and fire people in order to be able to afford a first team squad. That's guaranteed to backfire in the longterm. Maybe we can offer to switch with them as we're ready, able and funded to play. Edited June 17, 2020 by ToqueJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, we are looking at players being “asked” to take a wage cut, on combined wages that are above the recommended percentage of turnover... against a backdrop of 8k season season tickets sold, with staff being laid off... Honestly, nobody thinks that looks like an absolute gigantic red flag? I think they are up to their necks in the brown stinky stuff personally.
