June, Sir Tom Farmer eventually won control of Hibernian with a £2m bid. The club, owing its creditors £7m, had gone into receivership after David Rowland rejected Farmer’s consortium’s initial offer. (Rowland was later described as a ‘shady financier’ on the floor of the House of Commons)

13th July, Mercer had 66% support of the Hibs shareholders for his £6.2m bid but the board would not negotiate with him and he dropped his bid.

27th July, David Duff resigns as club Chairman. Leith businessman, Tom Farmer, (a descendent of Philip Farmer who had saved the club many years before), stepped in to acquire the club and assure its future. Alistair Dow took over as Chairman. Jim Gray remained as Managing Director and Chief Executive of the club.

29th August, Hibs were knocked out of the League Cup 1-0 by Raith Rovers.

2nd March, Miller won Hibs first league game in 17 with a 4-3 victory over St Mirren.

May, Hibs ended the season second bottom of the league with St Mirren below them.
