    Btw, has your blog on this subject your most read to date? It seems to be getting lots of retweets all over the place and even my dad sent it to me, which makes a change from stories about Mayo.

    Yeah, I replied with a link to it on one of the Rangers TAC Car twitter accounts and it got picked up from there. Got a lot of traffic from twitter and Kerrydale Street as a result.

    It got a lot more views than the Hibs one I wrote on Lennon, that's for sure.

    It's good that people know it's not just Celtic fans who care about this issue.

    I think it's hilarious that everyone including Scottish football's "authorities" uses the terms "big tax case" and "wee tax case" to refer to the Huns' nefarious schemes. Terms coined by "conspiracy theorists" on the comments section of an internet blog iirc.

    Today would be a good day for Hibs to come out in support of an independent enquiry.

    So, other than emailing Hibs (they've ignored me), contacting fans' reps (they're ignoring us), conducting online polls (bet they've seen them but - ignored), how do we get Hibs to engage or even respond on this?

    If both fans reps are not actively seeking our views on this matter then what is the point of them.

    It's been the same for me. Club totally blanked me. Not even a courtesy reply.

    simples, when they tell us how brilliant we all are and would we like to purchase season tickets/half-season tickets/spend money in the club shop

    I dont think its that simple.

    Perhaps they think that asking for views will not give a representative answer from the fanbase - e.g. if Tracey asked on here, my old man isnt on .net so how do his views (if he has any) get heard?

    Regan says "only one club" wants an independent investigation. Sadly, it is starting to look like he's right.

    How can that be, when presumably a majority of the SPFL members want one?

    I'm no expert on all this - but I think it roughly amounts to "we're doing **** all" ?

    Embarrassingly our chairman is on that SFA board. The man is a disgrace.

    Where else are they asking then so that they can engage? Right now, they are totally blanking the fans. It's disgraceful behaviour.

    We've given Hibs record sums of money to watch football this coming season.

    They don't give a flying one what we think.

    If we were struggling to get cash into the club, Dempster and Petrie would be far more vocal.

    I actually think it's a bit crap that Celtic are being isolated on this issue. Their responses have been measured, reasonable and seem to reflect the thoughts and feeling of the fans of all clubs (outside Sevco) in Scotland.

    We are all being let down by our own clubs.

    That is starting to look the case.

    The fact the SFA felt the need to release a statement that said nothing new could be a sign they are starting to feel the heat.

    I think it is part of the plan agreed by all clubs. Celtic can say they tried to save face with their fans but end point will be all clubs get to move on.

    It'll be a tragedy if, after achieving record season-ticket sales and assembling the best squad in years, our board goes back to it's old ways and just ignores us !. Don't do it Hibs - talk to the fans before we're back in the dark-age again !!

    Well virtually everything around this whole thing is a disgrace to be fair.

    Leaving aside the SPFL statement saying that a review would be a good thing, the SFA claiming that only Celtic want a review is an interesting development. They (Regan/Rangers - maybe it should be Regangers?) seem to want to force people to take sides. I think that is a good thing. There is no neutral ground on this one. Time for Hibs' senior management to make clear which side they are on I reckon.

    Sitting on the fence is no longer possible. If we say nothing then we are siding with the SFA and a cover up.

    Not entirely correct. The SFA includes the likes of lowland leagues, youth and juniors. SPFL is entirely different set of clubs with different ambitions.

    Also, you cant go down the road of "SPFL good, SFA bad" here - the make up of the SFA main board which knocked back the SPFL letter includes SPFL reps;

    (Alan McRae, President; Stewart Regan, Chief Executive; and Rod Petrie, Vice-President), plus Ralph Topping (SPFL), Michael Mulraney (SPFL), Tom Johnston (Scottish Junior FA) and independent non-executive directors, Barrie Jackson and Gary Hughes.
    Just reposting mine from the other day, as a reminder that this is not SPFL v SFA - there are SPFL reps on the SFA board. Make of that what you will, but for me it just shows how complex the political stuff is around this.

    I wonder if any individual clubs will start to put statements out later this week? Wouldnt surprise me,
