takeover

**cloudy** · 05-07-2014 12:08 PM

Anyone heard about a takeover? I know it was talked about last month but thought it was all wishful thinking, until I was discussing hibs with a fellow golfer and his words were " I just wish this takeover would hurry up" he seemed shocked I had never heard of this, I had my doubts but now ive had the chance to think it over it would explain why we're shipping players out with no replacements coming in, the guy seems to think it'll happen in 2/3 wks and we're talking multi million pound investment.... as I say I have my doubts but could it be possible? anyone else heard anything about this

Not heard a thing, I think quite a lot of fans are at the stage we'll just bother about on the pitch than off!

Your mate got anymore info?

***Diclonius*** · 05-07-2014 12:27 PM

More chance of it being Edgar Allan Poe.

**Michael** · 05-07-2014 12:47 PM

It wouldn't surprise me if someone does take control of Hibs, but it won't be anyone with money. Even Rangers can't get someone with money.

It is!? I was told at the Hamilton game that sir Tom farmer was looking to sell up as he had ill health. Was told also the buyer owned a big Edinburgh company and that he would put 2 million in for players. So there we go.

Not heard a thing. Did he mention World Cup stars by any chance?

hfc rd · 05-07-2014 04:31 PM

When's Roman Abramovich coming to Hibs?

***Hermit Crab*** · 05-07-2014 04:35 PM

Complete rubbish.

**~~Deansy~~** · 05-07-2014 04:40 PM

Rumour I heard was some guys involved with some mega-money 'Video-games' outfit in Scotland/Leith ??.

The only businessman in Edinburgh with a first name of Edgar is Edgar Stewart.

Really?

I hope it's true.

**Thecat23** · 05-07-2014 04:47 PM

Guys this is true, it's not a take over though they want to clear the debt and own the ground I'm told. It's Edgar Ramsay who's leading it. He's met Petrie a few times and someone else on here also knows about it.

I've known for a few weeks but didn't want to post as it was a shambles the last time.

I'd have thought if it was just an investment it would have started with his company sponsoring us?

***brog*** · 05-07-2014 04:52 PM

Why do people on here seem to get their kicks by putting posters down? The OP said from the start that the story/rumour was unsubstantiated but thought he would share something he had heard with us. That's why we have a forum, to share things. At no stage was he claiming to be ITK, nor was he saying "I'm hearing"! For his helpfulness & openness he gets abuse. FWIW I think the story, as told, is unlikely, though an eventual sale could happen, but I thank the OP for taking the time to share his information.

***Fergus52*** · 05-07-2014 04:52 PM

Charlie and Craig Reid were approached to see if they'd be willing to put money in for it.
