Fort Vallance Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 7 minutes ago, Ex member of the SaS said: Don't know if it's been mentioned but it looks like this deal is a stepping stone for Foley to take over all control. Once this goes through and after a short time Foley will make a go at buying out al the shares and the feeder club will be just an spot on the map filled with trialists and not quite good enough players Bournemouth signed but didn't work out. The SPFL allowed Foley to take a minimum share. Not sure they would let a majority takeover go ahead. They could of course purchase the shares by a proxy.

( building works for example, they get planning for "x" and then apply for an amendment ) It may take slightly longer but once their foot is in the door ( SFA changing rules as they have ) things will progress. Next year or the year after when their present owners are desperate to get out and no other investors look like coming forward you never know what will happen.

Deid Heid Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I think this all sounds completely on the level and completly above board. Super trust-worthy parent company, massive injection of PHREE Money. Come the summer, once h1b5 sign off on this great deal, how will we be able to compete with all ther super expensive international mega stars? In a couple of years they'll be in some world-wide billionaire Mega Super Elite league with the minnow leagues of Scotland just a chilly (and very painful) dream of a bygone era. Why, they couldn't be in better hands to realise their complete ambitions. We'll be left choking with envy as h1b5 finally assume their place on the centre stage of world football.

Shipwrecked Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Time for big dose of reality for the deluded h*bees. Whatever way the vote goes they're screwed. Vote against it and the Gordon's will look to get out, taking as many £s as they can. Vote in favour and they become a distant branch in Foleys pyramid wither fortunes tied to a provincial English team who must be close to the glass ceiling of how big they can get. Neither owner will care about anything other than making money out of them. Deep down they must all know this isn't going to end well for them.

Homme Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Will certainly be interesting times over the road. I'd imagine they will have some short term feel good factor (not too short term though, they are getting pumped tomorrow night) before it starts going awry. It's worth noting now that our Capital Projects have been completed for the time being we are also increasing our player budget. But for Hearts, a challenge - however small - has been put down by our neighbours and I'm sure we will continue to put them in their place.

Rods Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Seemingly it’s 6 mill now and future “donations” if needed. Donations lol as ever the devil will be in the detail. Not one person questioning the terms of the capital calls. Not one person asking are the people that are going to be allowed to call in this capital are fit to do so.

loveofthegame Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) No idea how this will play out, remaining cautious about it for now. On paper and initial showing their January signings have been an improvement on what they had (so they’ll claim early signs of the deal “working” for them) and they’ve slightly improved on the pitch the last few games. Let’s hope we put a stop to that tomorrow. Equally aware they’re still fighting for top 6 and nothing more… Of course I hope that it will be a complete car crash, Vlad-esque without the 2nd place finish and 2 Scottish cups. But there is a world where it could feasibly improve them. Let’s hope that isn’t the outcome and, if it is, that the fact we’ve a head start on them (together with our backers being willing to step up if needed) means we remain ahead of them (as has been the case throughout most of both clubs history).

They had over 20% at one point I think before a prior shares dilution. They were on track to purchase 51% of the club but Ron then said they could still donate cash but they wouldn’t acquire any more shares after he bought the club. The irony is they were on track (at the time) to be a club with the fans as majority owners in the truest sense but as always hibs have totally hibsed it.

Papa John Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 From BBC Website: Ben Kensall said "Being part of a multi-club network gives us loads of opportunities around best practise sharing, player trading within the network. It obviously gives us equity and cash we can use along with the investment from the Gordon family." Shareholders were told the £6m would allow improvement at the club's training base and the creation of a home for the women's team with a full-time base and stadium for matches.

PHSCAndy Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 They’re apparently now questioning where they will be in Foley’s pyramid with some suggesting that based on attendance (Bournemouth total capacity 11,300) that they may or someday will be at the top. Foley was quoted as saying he’d be in Edinburgh in March to watch them. I wonder iif he’s down in Bournemouth just now taking in their FA cup game against Leicester and will therefore be in attendance tomorrow. If he is hopefully we’ll give him a result that he’ll have nightmares about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Kaiser Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Bournemouth are the money. That league is swimming in cash and that's where you make a profit. It's the Rolls Royce of football income. Hibournian.....well they're just the 2nd car you bought for your wife. A wee hatchback to run around in. I'm VERY confident in 10 years time.....there will be little to no difference in that club. Even if all £6 million was invested in players there isnt the cashflow to sustain wages for players of that value. ****ing fantasy land to those Hibs fans lapping it up when it's a business model that helps multiple club owners alleviate some financial fair play rules.

Busby nets the rebound Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Something I've not seen anyone mention. This house of straw will crumble when the mighty AFC Bournemouth get themselves relegated.
