But they are still going to vote it through at the end of the month. 🙂 Has Ron's family given the wee team fans an update of where they intend to take them since he passed? . With him by sound of it.

leipzig76 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 24 minutes ago, Lone Striker said: 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 ? 😎 They have all been very quiet haven't they.Just like they were back when Duff and Gray were spiriting all the funds down South to buy night clubs and restaurants.There will be no Hearts fans helping them out financially or standing shoulder to shoulder with them(As I did) way back when Wallace tried the takeover.

Shipwrecked Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Thoroughly enjoying this thread. Even when we're not playing them H*bs are still providing the laughs. Let's see where they're at:- -spending beyond their means -a bloated squad full of players with no loyalty to the club -a manager with no say on what players he gets (or picks?) -absentee owners Sounding familiar? And now another foreign owner who wants to use them as a nursery team at the very bottom of his 'pyramid' Ah but no doubt the fans will come to their rescue......

They would still exist to get the natural order dished out but be a shadow of the dead club in terms of size We could delegate responsibility for pumping them on a regular basis to our B team, assuming the new hobos ever make it as far as the Lowland League.

kingantti1874 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Hibs are a club who’ve never been able to accept the reality that they are a smaller club than hearts or Aberdeen. When hearts or Aberdeen get our shit together then hibs will simply never ever be able to keep up. They have a smaller support. Handing out and counting free tickets doesn’t change that reality.

Ex member of the SaS Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Some on .net seem to have grasped the reality, even if they voted it down, it will still go ahead and there is nothing they can do about it. TBF this COULD go one way or the other, better players/more cash OR goodbye Hibs hello flats. The owners have no real connection after their father died other then a slight sentimentality aspect and will dump them when things get tough. It appears their CEO is on huge money but that can't last as debt mounts up. The Black Knights thingy are not doing this to make money and it can only be to offload costs for players or as a tax conn. Breasts skywards looks the most likely scenario.

Gillsland jack Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Is Hearts V Spartans going to be the new Edinburgh Derby? lets face it they are a very well run club, they have well respected business people behind the scenes, they have a nice ground with lots of potential for expansion, they are a proper community club and will be an upgrade on the mess the Gordon's and Foley leave behind. It will be a safe place to visit, we won't have to worry about the bridge of doom, there is so many positives that could emerge when the 'emails to Lithuanian administrators brigade' disappear to the Lowland league...Karma indeed, it was only ever a matter of time.

Australis Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Hopefully the rest of the muppet fans don't agree with his view, and they carry on regardless. Fingers crossed they take no notice of him and sell their club and soles at the end of the month to Foley. They are bringing out a new set of hibees underpants, two yanks and they are down.

John Findlay Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 The one thing the American owners don't get and will never get is the tribal nature of Scottish football. Hearts 98 years and Hibs 99 years were formed respectively after the USA became a country. We this year are celebrating our 150th anniversary. There is no major sporting club in the USA that old our even close, maybe a couple of Baseball clubs. They don't call themselves clubs, they call themselves franchises, and at a whim can move from one US city to another. That's the last thing any Scottish team will do, though I appreciate Clyde have been a bit nomadic in recent years. Scottish football supporters won't buy a season ticket or club merchandise if they perceive their team to be shite. If the empty seats at ER on Wednesday night wasn't a wake up call to the Gordon's and Foley's of this world, it should have been. We don't turn up regardless. Our stadiums and the infrastructure surrounding them is not geared for tailgate parties and BBQs. We are not Americans or America, the sooner these owners recognise this the better as far as I am concerned. I don't want to see Hibs go down the pan. I have far to many family members who are invested in them as much as I am in Hearts. If they and their fellow Hibs supporters don't get their arses into gear, then they will not have club to support. You reap what you sow.
