Le Chat Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 3 hours ago, Carter said: They've needed the Foley investment to compensate for the inability to generate revenue at a level to match their outlay. They've seen Hearts and Aberdeen generate additional revenue of c. £5M in each of the past 2 years from European group stage football. They now have a real challenge to even make top 6 this season with only one place up for grabs. I wouldn't fancy Montgomery against Warnock in a straight shoot out for a top 6 spot. They're so far off its absolutely frightening. Their approach to recruitment now seems completely up in the air. A scsttergun approach at best. Moreover, you ain't generating player trading revenue if the players don't belong to you!. Youan end product remains a huge issue and nobody is paying a fee for an ageing Martin Boyle who isn't the rapid threat he once was and who's play acting is now an utter embarrassment. Makes you wonder how much worse things would've been had they not cashed in on Nisbet. Hibs look in s real mess. This is a very real illustration of what happens with a succession of terrible managerial appointments and the type of garbage recruitment that happens as a consequence. They need to hope that Foley is incredibly generous with the standard of loanee who walks through the door. Otherwise this will turn to shit very quickly. Doctors should be prescribing copies of this post instead of Viagra from now on. Full-on ragers all round after reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in serious bother of they don’t accept I believe that as well. Wouldn’t surprise me if this was the start of the Gordon’s exit strategy. They walk, debt free or sell the assets to Foley who then owns them outright. keep an eye on Lorient if they go down. Will Foley stick with them or try buying a Lithuanian Basketball team? personally I hope they suffer death by a thousand cuts. Tramps!

vegas-voss Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 1 hour ago, Australis said: Wonder if now that Ron Gordon has passed, if the remaining family members want out of the club, and Foley is the start. Will they just sit on their Easter road investment while watching the prices for housing development on the site going up and up. If Foley was allowed he would have had the whole club.As others have said these guys are now in control the Gordon's will take a wee wedge to play along.

FarmerTweedy Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 57 minutes ago, CloustonHMFC said: From someone on the outside, with a fairly limited business knowledge, this looks to me to be paving the way for the Gordons to sell up a little down the line. Changing the procedures that mean someone only has to buy 80% of the shares to force the minority shareholders to sell is a sly move and one the vast majority won't understand or take into consideration. Give it 5 years and Hibs will be a lower half Premiership side with a bunch of Bournemouth academy players on loan, and all Hibs youth talent get sent there for peanuts. That's what they are at the moment, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 If you read .net, there are a couple of posters who are shooting down anyone who dares suggest that Foley and Black Knights are not to be trusted. Quite a few are concerned about what will happen but any questions net with 'its for the vest', 'we will have millions to spend' in response. If they query the reduction from 90% to 80% required to buy their club, then you are an distraction or not really a supporter. Worrying times for them, hilarious times for us.

There was a concerted agenda by quite a few calling it a “Ponzi Scheme” etc, etc that inevitably impacted on the number of people taking part in HSL. They’ve been almost completely marginalised now. As things progress now all HSL can do is bay at the moon from the sidelines. All that’s going on just now down there has a vague whiff of Duff and Co.

The plan was for STF/RP to reduce their holding to 49% of the club by selling shares to to HSL. Together with existing small shareholdings, the "fans" could then own a majority shareholding of 51%, but in practice it would be all but impossible for all the individual shareholders to vote together on any issue.
