I generally have an opinion about everything, but in this case I'm a bit like GreenNWhiteArmy in that my knowledge on EBTs and surrounding legalities could be engraved on the back of a five cent piece and still leave room for my name and address!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Somewhat ironic that the support seems to be divided...about a board decision involving Rangers!
I've followed Hibs for over 50 years and unhappiness with board decisions has been commonplace throughout that period, but never stopped me from supporting the football club.
The board have NOT always heeded the supporters wishes.....indeed there is no obligation on them to do so, the majority shareholders rule, whether we like it or not.

Once the term of office has been fulfilled, I'd be inclined to restructure and remove the fans rep from a boardroom position, and make them more of a ceremonial role.

Let's not forget the creation of supporters reps in 2014 was to help repair the damage between a lot of fans and our Board.
As Leeann herself said in relation to supporters reps on the Board : "The Club have put a lot of effort into re-engaging with supporters on a number of levels... Hibs are intent on having ‘fans at the centre of everything we do’
I'm still hopeful we will get a full explanation from our reps and we can learn from this question of accountability.
I do not believe the answer is to destroy these positions and revert to a board with no direct input from the support. Yes, I realise that on this occasion the direct input from the fans reps seems hard to understand but we need to fix this. I don't doubt Frank or Tracey's love of Hibs and I'm sure they'd be gutted to think this lack of communication/engagement with fans will result in the demise of democratically elected board members.
Plenty democratically elected politicians lose the faith of their electorate and are subsequently dumped. The answer is not to do away with elected positions but rather help make sure they work and that the board's stated intention of 'having fans at the centre of everything we do' actually happens.Last edited by Johnny Clash; 18-09-2017 at 10:30 AM.

If that happened in real life we wouldn't be leaving the eu.

The major shareholders decide club policy, not the supporters.

Now that some of the dust has settled on this, can I ask a couple of questions?
It seems clear now that there is (very) limited support for Celtic FC position among the other professional clubs - indeed it now feels like the SPFL board went ahead and asked for an enquiry without asking their full membership first.
So - broadly the clubs dont want an enquiry, the SFA dont want an enquiry.
Where exactly does that leave the large number of fans who still want something to happen?
If Celtic cant get anything to happen themselves, is it even conceivable for a fans group / groups to gain any traction for anything?
n.b. I am not trying to have a pop, I am genuinely interested in where this leaves things

Hibs.net poll was an unrepresentative poll of a small subset of those who would be eligible to vote. If you remember rightly, similar polls pre EU vote and other recent votes got their predictions quite badly wrong. It was a poll and not one for the club to take any note of and if they were to they would have to publish and follow more clearly laid out rules
