    Richard Skellett - Back On The Scene? (Old thread revived.... he’s not.)

    I've heard this a few times over the last couple of days........

    The story goes that STF is ready to sell him 74% and the remaining 26% goes to community ownership (presumably that's you and me!).

    Erm....... that's it

    Does Skellett have a lot of personal wealth as their doesn't seem to be a great deal of cash in his companies.

    The combined cash at bank value for all businesses where Richard holds a current appointment equals £324,047, with a combined total current assets value of £2,899,313 and total current liabilities of £3,251,550.

    I heard a while back that him and STF were close to a deal but that 49% would remain with STF. Don't ask me the logic cos I simply don't have a clue.

    Some shareholder decisions need a 75% majority, hence the BuyHibs proposal to let STF keep 26%.

    Most, though, just need a 50.1% majority.

    If your info is correct, RS would also have 49%, and the supporters 2%. That way, neither of the larger shareholders have overall control. That may be STF's way of "keeping an eye on" RS until he fully trusts him.

    Interesting, especially after someone under the BuyHibs username replied "No" to another poster on here asking if he was involved. Is his name being mentioned in connection with BuyHibs? (In these rumours?)

    I don't think Skellet has any involvement with BuyHibs.

    I'm not totally clued up on these rumours but people I've spoke to involved with BuyHibs have always strongly denied he has any involvement so it would surprise me of he does.

    Pretty sure that 10% is the holding company and not Hibs themselves, unless I've got the wrong end of the stick.

    Cheers. Do you think this going to mean a tussle for ownership of the club?

    I really have no idea.

    I still maintain absolutely nothing will happen until Hibs announce their own plans for ownership change or alteration which I suspect will be at the AGM.

    That will likely confirm or firmly refute the rumours about club and property being seperated which will determine future support for any fan/community led ownership schemes imo.

    Wish Hibs would just announce when the AGM is going to take place.

    The delay is undoubtedly fuelling the rumours. Should have happened as usual.
