His name is Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 If big Ron owns the stadium then that's a biggie. If things don't go to plan or he thinks f this, that's his exit plan to recoup all his money back and more. Interesting one of the first things the FOH looked at when things started to take a turn under Romanov was buying the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveins Battalion Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 The EEN spin on Mathie leaving and appointing Ian Gordon this morning is magnificent. Passed straight from the PR department at Easter Road. Such gems as 'Gordon has signficant knowledge of World Markets' 'He was instrumental in setting up a link with Charleston Battery' 'beefing up recruitment to take Hibs to the next level' Also note the link they set up with the Croatian ''Guru'' that we were told would mean top Eastern European players arriving has been scrapped already.........

I think Pepsico bought the Fanta brand as when in the USSR in 1989, Pepsi had a deal with the soviets so it was just Pepsi & Fanta you could get.

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.
