I remember at the time thinking that it was a bit non-specific, and open to being criticised by the Ponzi wiseguys. But I'm pretty sure most of us have confidence in the current regime to use it appropriately.

I thought it was worth raising the question in case I had totally missed the point (the subsequent posts to the one I made where I asked the question would suggest that I haven't though).
Some people on here do seem to be under the impression that funds raised through HSL are going solely towards player recruitment and there doesn't seem to be too many people trying to correct them. I just thought it was worth raising the issue.
Like I said originally though I'm personally quite comfortable with the idea that Hibs use the funds as they wish. I'm sure the majority of it will go to the manager anyway but if they find other uses for it which is going to aid our existing members of the playing staff then so be it.

I hope you don't mind if I pop in here to help clarify a couple of points.
The psychologist story has grown a little. I shared a platform with George Craig a few weeks back in the Gallery area at the Stadium. He was helping us promote the benefits of HSL to guests in the Hospitality area. George, as only he can do, shared with the audience a story about Ryan and how well he had performed at Ibrox. He mentioned how pleased he was with how well the Club had prepared him for this experience. In the passing, he commented that he might ask Leeann if we had the budget to support the benefits of a sports psychologist to help better prepare the players. Now I am sure supporters will have various opinions on such matters, as they do on many other aspects of our Football Department. Whether this happens or not is irrelevant. From the outset it was made clear that donations from HSL would be used to fund our "sporting ambition". We have tended to use more straightforward language such as our Football Department. Leeann has confirmed on many occasions this is exactly where the money goes. We send our donations to the Club and Leeann, George and Neil decide how best to use those funds in our Football Department. Not heating,lighting,infrastructure,mortgages, existing shareholders. We as a collective may have an ownership position in the Club, I am not aware of anyone seeking fan control. It is for the Club executive to make those decisions.
I think we only have to look at the product on the park compared to what it was three years ago to consider if our donations are being spent well in the Football Department.

I just wanted to point out that there's a number of people on here who are apparently under the impression that 100% of their donations go directly to Neil Lennon to buy new players. Everything I have read, along with your post, confirms that is not quite the case.
I just think it's quite an important point to address. I'm not suggesting HSL is misleading anyone either by the way, just in case that starts to grow arms and legs. I think the online mission statement on the HSL website is pretty clear. It's people's failure to properly find out the facts which is the cause of any misunderstanding here.

Once again thank you for your constructive comments.
A fellow supporter, close to you right now has very kindly agreed to help HSL with a regular Newsletter. It will have many of your ideas etc but we do have to be mindfull of our role here and try not to duplicate any of the Club activities. In terms of updates let us try to give you a very quick update on your inspired thread. We eventually reached 20 new donators.
The new thread with Charlies interview has attracted 13 new donators. To be honest we are hoping for many more from this given the level of pr exposure it will eventually have.
The interview can be viewed here http://www.skysports.com/watch/video...s-fans-backing

I know it’s a bit late, but this is a very serious suggestion - can the name be changed?
The name HSL means absolutely nothing to me. In fact, almost every time I see it, I have to google to see what it even stands for. And ‘Hibernian Supporters Limited’ isn’t exactly emotive either. Every time I see ‘HSL’ posted on here, I glance over it as I don’t associate any feeling with it or affection towards it.
Foundation of Hearts and AberDNA have a lot more of an emotive feeling to them. Fans donating to them know exactly what it is and that it’s for the good of the club. HSL sounds like you’re chucking your money at a corporation, not the football club we all love.
I’m a branding specialist btw, so happy to help with naming etc if needed. Or the marketing department at Hibs, see what they think.
To attract more donations, it has to be a call to action. It has to stir up emotion with the fans.Last edited by Austinho; 08-06-2018 at 11:02 PM.

I honestly don't understand the angst about where the money initially goes. If Hibs need to spend a couple of hundred pounds for new corner flags & HSL donations are used to buy those flags, then Hibs still have an extra £200 to spend on players. As others have said, we're a properly run club which produces detailed accounts on time & we even pay our creditors. I understand the emotional appeal of saying every penny goes to the player budget, but in LD & Hibs i trust &, as above, the money effectively goes there anyway.

Unfortunately you have been knocked off your pedestal. We now have 25 new donators which we presume has been prompted by Charlies interview. We are hoping for 100 over this weekend. We cannot emphasize enough the option for a one off donation if you choose or cannot commit to joining HSL.
Help us get to the 100 new donators over this weekend. Forward messages and emails to fellow supporters. Urge them to look at Charlies interview either on Sky Sports or EEN.

The email system is checked daily but we cannot give the same commitment to the pm area. It also has capacity issues, as you have discovered.
