Lone Striker Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Does anyone know if the SFA put any conditions on Foley/Black Knights that would prevent him/them increasing the current percentage of share ownership ? Its quite possible that the Gordon family are looking for a way out (with some profit), so they'll go along with whatever his plan is.

Think the rules only allow up 29.9% if someone owns another club.Rules can change though as there was discussions about dual ownership a month or so before the Foley story broke.

They make up their own reality, we had a dodgy owner for a little period, we ended up with debt written off via the CVA. Since then we have done everything (apart from playing football) very well. They also had their debt written off, short memories. Hope it all crashes around them and their weekends can forevermore be spent cheering on whoever is playing us. The debt is a curious one. Did the Gordons deliberately create the £5.7 million debt so they can maintain a share level by converting the debt to shares so they balance the Foley shares and investment. Worth investigating and asking questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 2 hours 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. Yes, something like this.

HMFC01 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 3 hours ago, jimbojambo said: I think that you have to look at what the Gordon's and Foley are wanting from their investments. Ron saw player trading as being profitable while Foley wants to use it as a stepping stone to the Bournemouth team. The possible conflict will arise when the Gordons want to cash in on a player and Foley wants him to go to Bournemouth. Two conflicting objectives which won't work so asset strip and sell in separate parts as per the American model. That's basically it. Bournemouth obviously have the right to their own players so no money profit for Hibs. The hope that they can loan quality players within the F group as a stepping stone to Bournemouth. If Hibs do have a player that comes through their youth system will he go cheap or will they get a good return is the question. The recent success on McGinn suggests their hoping to snatch an upcoming player. The lad that went to Italy done well. Maybe max 500k to 1M for an upcoming player then loan straight back or to another club. They'd have to be excellent to reach 1m. They have a young full back getting gametime currently but he's not worth a lot just now. The investment going in could pay off their debt. They could offload players next season to balance the books. Then it's a rebuild with lots of loans and youth. New manager perhaps. I'm not certain I trust the business model personally. Forced to use players from another club(s). Could easily be disharmony within the group but you have to get on with it. I dunno. I'll be keeping an eye on it see what happens. I think they have an AGM on the 22 nd then the final vote on the 27th. Apparently the majority want it to pass and some don't care. Interesting stuff.

By The Light.. Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 29.9% limit is probably down to UK company law where at 30% they have to offer to buy the lot and that would fall foul of FA or UEFA rules on multiple ownership FTH What is the rule for 30% takeover in the UK? Requirement for a mandatory offer: Where a bidder is interested in shares carrying 30% or more of the target's voting share rights, the bidder must make a mandatory offer in cash at no less than the highest price paid during the preceding 12 months (often referred to as a "Rule 9 offer").

Lone Striker Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 A big question has to be why none of their very wealthy celeb fans have not made public any plan to buy Hibs and use their trusted business & legal contacts to operate them. e.g. Andy Murray or the Proclaimer boys Andy Murray will have sports folk that he uses for medical recovery and psychological training as part of his company, and he wouldn't miss a few million in loose change. So can we assume that none of them actually care very much about Hibs ? Or do they just don't want the hassle & abuse from Hibs fans when they continue to be thrashed & dominated by Edinburgh's fan-owned big team ? 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
