This guy is all about fan experience and without a doubt he’ll move them out to the barn like some American style complex and expect them to have tail gate parties and the like in the car park, the rat pit will be sold and there’s nothing they can do to stop it. He’ll pocket the ER money and get some soul less bowl built out in the sticks on the cheap with some sponsor helping the cost by naming the stadium. I fully expect in 3 years Hibs to be playing at the 15000 capacity marathon bet arena in Tranent. And the Hobos will still try and spin it as a positive- amazing how few of them are concerned/ questioning where they’re going. You read .nut and a few of them are claiming they’re in safe hands because “Ron’s a business man - he won’t lose money”. Feckin right he won’t and that’s the very reason to be concerned….ar5eholes, let them rot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has that business model ever worked in the history of football? I was at the Yankee stadium, early 2000s, at the time Man U had a merchandise tie in with them. I didn't see one item of Man U merch (not that I was going to buy any). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbaws Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Sounds like the restructure involves siphoning money out of the club, straight into his family's pockets.

A laughable concept. The concept of an arrangement between clubs isn't too bad, but bringing over a 27 or whatever year old journeyman like Robbie Crawford for a trial certainly is laughable. I mean do they need to go all the way to the US to find someone who was at Rangers as a kid and then bumped around the Scottish lower leagues for a while? These guys are everywhere in Scottish football. And this was all the doing of Hibs new Head of Recruitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs in contract talks with Porteous since they failed to sell him, despite their best efforts in the media. Quite clear Ross would rather have some cash than this liability in his team. However, they've talked him up so much including valuing him at over £1m that they'll need to pay though the nose to keep him. Or they lose him for nothing. Oh Hibs, never change....
