HSL - Let’s back Hecky

[3pm]

After our latest subscription for shares I am delighted to confirm that we now own 18.16 % of our Club, having donated over £700,000. This is a remarkable achievement for us, and I want to say thank you so much for your kind and generous donations to date.


Your money has brought players to the Club who would not have been here otherwise and as a result we helped the Team get back into the top flight and of course delivered the Scottish Cup. You played your part in this team effort.


We are closing in on one of our initial milestones, While we could easily just wait and allow the passage of time to deliver this, I am writing to you to make a special appeal for some extra support. The reason for this is quite simple.


When we were down at East Mains recently meeting Paul and Robbie, they could not have been more welcoming. Without hesitation, after hearing about HSL and our members, they chose to join because they wanted to help us. I’m sure you will understand why in return we promised to do everything we could to help them. With this in mind we are asking you if you would consider making a one-offdonation of £50 to HSL. If we could get 1000 of our Members to make such a donation, we could deliver an extra £50,000 to Paul and Robbie.



We are often asked where our donations go so please allow my fellow HSL Director and Club CEO Leeann Dempster provide the answer :



“I want to give all HSL contributors my assurance that every single penny of their donation is directed straight to our Head Coach to spend on player wages or transfer fees, and nothing else. As I have said in the past the Board of the Club really appreciate the efforts of HSL Members and it would be great to see as many Hibs supporters as possible join the cause, if they can afford to do so”


We really hope you feel able to help and every person who makes a one of donation of £50 will be entered into a draw with the winning prize being a day in the Directors Box for a Category A fixture ( with a friend ) as well as lunch with Paul and Robbie.

Pay what you can. I pay £10 a month on pay day. I know we all can’t pay. But if we look at Hearts and Aberdeen they have similar schemes and are paying much more than us. GGTTH

I have renewed my season ticket for next year. I would more than happily sign up if all the money went to the transfer budget and HSL were transparent about how the figures have been deployed thus far.

The club budget at the start of the season and the McGinn money will
most likely be staggered in instalments which would then suggest that HSL payments ‘may’ have been used to pay off Lennon and the backroom staff.

While we may not have started this thread it would still be really nice if we could keep this thread positive. Our efforts are not helped by anyone giving even the slightest suggestion that our Manager is not receiving all of our donations. We are not sure just how clearer Leeann could have been with her statement. Regarding our transparency, we just don't know what further clarity you are looking for.

If you can afford to donate, it would be great to have your assistance.

HSL

It’s not negative I think it’s a fair question?

I asked an HSL representative on here last season for a rough breakdown of how the funds to date were deployed and the response was that they have give the money to the club to use in anyway they choose and have no information on how it has been used to date.

Your response would suggest this has now changed?

Not sure that we would have responded in the manner that you describe. The Club do not "use the money in anyway they choose". As Leeann has once again confirmed it is given to the Manager to spend on wages and transfer fees.

Clearly we have not funded every single wage packet or every single transfer fee but we have helped towards these. If you are asking how much went to Player A's wage and how much went to players B's wage and how much went to player C's transfer fee, we can't give you that figure. If that is your question, do you feel that it is a reasonable one ?

Please could I ask what hitting this target will mean.

We raise £50,000, it is given to the manager, then what?

Is that a new player, a signing on fee etc?

In other words, what’s the significance of £50k as opposed to say £25k or £75k?

Thank you.

It's probably something as mysterious as a target figure they agreed on.

[WhileTheChief..]

From memory the £50k thing has been in place from the start.

They don’t hand over a few quid now and then, they wait until they hit £50k then hand it over and wait to raise another 50 and so on.

Jim, can you change the info to a link as having difficulty finding anything on Hibs website.
Thanks

[NAE NOOKIE]

I hope this turns into a successful appeal for HSL, the fact that its being issued at the time when folk are looking for cash to renew their season tickets says to me that it probably wont be. I would love to ante up fifty quid for this, but it aint happening for that reason.

Besides, I feel that as things stand they would be far better served upping their efforts to attract regular contributors and promoting the idea that the aim is to attract folk who will continue to put money in after HSL stop being a share buying entity, which is what I'm fully committed to doing, rather than have one off appeals like this one.

That's not me being negative, just realistic, sorry guys

This was your response when I asked last year-

York Hibees

We can't answer your question as we don't know. We have never asked for a detailed breakdown of how the Football Department spend our donations. Our guess is that most, if not all of our Members are happy to leave Leeann, George and Neil to make those decisions. From what we have seen on the park so far, they seem to be making good choices. As we have said on other threads, we collectively have an ownership stake in the Club, it is for the Club Executive to run the Club.
