RobNox Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 53 minutes ago, Footballfirst said: He then proceeded to give a statement of what they had already done towards reviving the club, mentioning that the promoters had their eye on a field which they had hopes of securing. Up to that time they had guarantees of £115 which however was nothing like sufficient to start the club. He intimated that they desired to open with a first class team and a first class ground. Some things never change, still can't get their fans to pony up and still waiting for that first class team and first class ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 3 hours ago, Footballfirst said: I expect that the proposals will be accepted at the AGM vote. There will then be some positivity for a short period, depending on the amount of money that they will be able to spend on the team. (It won't be a great amount going by their inherent loss making capability). Problems will mount when Bydand and the Black Knights decide to sell up with the prospect of the buyer exercising their right to eliminate all the small shareholders. I think Hibs have around 2,400 small shareholders I'm sure that if that had happened at Hearts, 8,000 small shareholders would not be happy. There will only be positivity if their results have improved by then. Optimism over some of the new signings will help that. But if it goes to shit over the next few games it could be very toxic.

SpruceBringsteen Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 They'll always exist in one form or another but imagine giving up your entire club history (such that it it is) to become Bournemouth D. An English club about the size of Falkirk and you give up your entire existence for them and to service them. New owner thinks it's a bit of fun. Thank christ it's not my club.

PortyBeach Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 8 hours ago, JTJ said: In a book about Hibs (borrowed from a Hibs fan at work), there was a big bit about the meeting in the Buchanan Hotel. The Publican asked them if they were any connection to "The Irishmen" as he was owed a sum of money. They answered "No, nothing to do with them". To paraphrase Mandy Rice-Davies, “They would say that, wouldn’t they?”! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll never forget or forgive their conduct during our administration. Rot in hell you verminous, smelly tramps. I'm not sure I want them to die as such, but I would like them to be on basically financial life support and go through season after season of derby destruction. As you say, the likes of Kevin Moffatt who actively sought to disrupt the administration process to cause liquidation to happen disgust me - there is being rivals, but I think that was just a step too far.. beat us on the pitch you sad sacks. But Karma happened, and we were bought by excellent people in Ann Budge and her team who helped facilitate the transition into being the biggest fan owned club in the UK, delivered the new main stand and have also worked miracles off the field to expand our revenue base. Meanwhile, they are selling their soul because they couldn't engage enough fans to make the HSL or whatever the **** its called viable - because Hibs fans care more about us failing than them succeeding.

PHSCAndy Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 What I’m not understanding is that this Foley news is major stuff yet on their main forum there’s actually only 3 threads relating to this in their top 40. What I’m reading from this is that they realise/fear what could happen and have chosen to hide their ‘heads in the sand’ hoping if they don’t talk about it - it won’t happen. I’d imagine in their ‘Private Forum’ its being discussed intensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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").

Smithian Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 While I think Bill Foley is an excellent NHL owner and a big time American sports executive, I would be miserable if my hopes for Hearts were tied to his account. Hibs are a rounding error on his Vegas Knights and Bournemouth accounts.
