Foley and Caswell Join Board

[Hibernian Verse]

Big news? Or expected? I personally didn’t realise Foley would join our board himself.

It's certainly been all change in the boardroom and beyond.in the last 3 or 4 years. A lot of names who had been around for years no longer in place. Only natural when you consider the major shift in ownership I suppose.

I'm a bit surprised it is Foley himself who has joined the board. Black Knights having 2 members was known but I didn't expect it to the the main man so to speak.

Hope they are not superstitious

He's a director at Bournemouth as well so I doubt it's a significant thing?

I thought Kensell had said that the two BKFC directors would not be on other boards. 99% sure that was said.

He’s never been to Edinburgh before, but said he’d come up in August

Good to see Leslie Robb joining the board as well he will be a great addition. The board is looking really strong, interesting times ahead

Beat me to it😀

As an aside Crops, looks like Bournemouth only have 3 Directors
Interesting times ahead

Like PB said I’m surprised the man himself has joined the board, but all good as far as I’m concerned. The closer he is to the action the more change can be affected.

Totally agree, means business me thinks.

[007]

I'm hoping it might mean there's more chance of him chucking an extra mill or 2 our way now and again, e.g. to keep Marcondes and/or Maolida. Of course it could go the other way and he decides he doesn't want to throw good money after bad.

You look at the new appointees and what excellent CVs they all have, terrific.

Delighted to see Leslie Robb on board along with Bill Foley etc . Never met the guy but there is something about Ben Kensell that just grates on me. He’ll be found out in that company though if they thinks he’s doing ok then who am I to disagree. Ps I’ve worked it out, he grates because he’s fake tan wearing billy big bollocks bell end. Feel better for getting that off my chest 😉

You sure Billy ? I was told he was up for a midweek game well before Christmas by staff at Hibs. Before the initial announcement 🤔

It was on the Bill Foley interview about a month or so ago
Said he was going to Bournemouth in March/April and then August
Said he looked forward to going to Edinburgh then
If I’ve missed the December visit, my apologies

So Robb was offered a seat on the board in order to get his vote sealed.
Presumably HSL weren't offered such a deal. Good call after recent events.

The HSL spokesperson never covered himself in glory in the interviews leading up to AGM.

They were openly hostile towards it, I’d be very surprised if they were offered a seat on the board.

We don’t know that. Robb has however been very active in supporting the Foundation and Women’s Team. Maybe something for HSL to consider versus the ‘rules is rules’ type approach they’ve taken in recent times.

[Not In The Know]

Robb and Foley on the board is incredibly good news.

They aren’t there for a couple of business lunches.

This lot mean business.

Leslie Robb is a major shareholder and is entitled to vote how he wishes. I for one am glad he is now on the board,you want the best people on the board of the club. He has a lot to offer.
