BBC leading with a “major investment in Hibs”

Bill Foley was at the Bournemouth game on Saturday. I wonder if he will be at Easter Road tonight.

Why should they? It’s a small private company and they are supporting investment and taking risk over what is ultimately their own assets.

It’s a sports team that happens to be a business to support the sporting activities. Minor shareholders are fans that bought shares just to be part of the club and stick a certificate on the wall, not to be part of the risks or potential returns of being a shareholder.

I don’t get why some fans worry too much about the share capital of the club. In that respect I think HSL has made a huge mistake in positioning as being a vehicle to build up a shareholding. Totally pointless.

Think mercer and think what you are saying

I can’t wait for us to fill in the corners and open up the Monty Burns Casino in the East

We aren’t owned by anyone remotely like Mercer and the current owners are unlikely to sell to anyone of that nature. It is worrying about a day that won’t happen and in HSLs case to the detriment of making an impact now. Outside HSL there are other minor shareholders who are just Hibs fans. As fans we already have the percentage they are concerned about.

Reckon we’ll manage to get Mueller back?

That sounds like Hibs would be a feeder club for his other teams. Not sure I'd want to go down that route.

***WhileTheChief..*** · 31-10-2023 05:52 PM

Exciting times ahead.

Feel the same. Guys 78 as well so you'd have the risk of when he does eventually pass what would happen.

He won't be majority shareholder so not sure that's a major issue.

Aye, I'm sure he won't be advertised as that.

This will all be accounted for.

***WhileTheChief..*** · 31-10-2023 05:58 PM

If he spends millions signing players for us that he then moves on to his other clubs, I'm all for it.

Could be a genuine opportunity for serious money coming into Hibs. Let's lap it up and reach for the stars.

In theory we’re a feeder club for every other football team. If any agreement improves the quality of player available for us then I’m in!

Does this mean the man city deal is dead 😆 🤣

**Sgt. Hartman** · 31-10-2023 05:59 PM

Very exciting times ahead folks

***WhileTheChief..*** · 31-10-2023 06:00 PM

Might find out more on Sportsound coming on now.

**Since90+2** · 31-10-2023 06:01 PM

Seriously wealthy man Bill Foley. Makes James Anderson look like a pauper.

***Paul1642*** · 31-10-2023 06:01 PM

Fill in the corners already!

If it’s true that we got Vente because it’s easier to get a visa in Scotland compared to England, then this opens a lot of avenues for both ourselves and Bournemouth.

Or he sends other teams development players to us and insists they get played regardless of whether the manager thinks they should play, or he takes any decent players we develop for cut-price fees?

Why would he do that and not just sign them for the other teams then send them out on loan?

**Hibees1973** · 31-10-2023 06:04 PM

Makes me nervous this kind of thing.

Will have to see how this plays out.

If he is pumping millions in he is going to want the club to be a success.

Whether that be by developing players and selling them for a big profit or us getting very good players we otherwise wouldn't get, it's a good thing.

He's not going to invest his time and money into a club to want to weaken it.
