To be honest, that was my thoughts to.

It was the obvious comparison to make that he would have had an influence on that decision/statement. Whether he did or didn't I have no idea. Can't fault the OP's sentiments tbh.

As I said should have kept our mouths shut.

I've backed him in the past but he can GTF now any time he fancies as far as I'm concerned. He couldn't have patronised us any more with that statement if he'd tried.

And if the fans reps have backed that then they'd be aswell as calling it a day aswell.

Honestly canny mind ever being as raging as I am with the club right now.

To be fair, they either agree with the position Hibs have taken and go with the party line or they don't. If they don't, their position should be untenable, and they should walk. If I was a fans' rep I'd walk over this.

Petrie can gtf as far as I'm concerned.

But as long as he has his coffers swollen by our cash, he'll be smirking from beneath his 'tache from the directors box.

Yet come April next year, when the ads for season tickets are out, you can bet none of this will be mentioned, and it will be come get your seat for next seasons exciting season.

Depends if the fate of Glasgow Rangers is the be all and end all for you as a Hibs fan. Personally for me I'm far more interested in our playing squad, increased attendances and hopefully getting back to winning ways on Saturday against Motherwell.

Amongst my group of Hibs supporting mates I can't remember the last time the topic of Rangers was discussed.I'm not sure it's as such a big deal outside the twitter/forums bubble.

This statement appears final - there is no more case to be made, Hibs have declared their position.

The board, the fans reps, the manager, the players, me - we're all part of this and have to decide whether or not we want to be.

I don't know how the fans' reps feel about this so I can't really pre-judge their position.

It's a pretty clear cut choice though and there is no middle ground or fence to sit on.

Although in fairness to the fans' reps - they might have a bit more info on this matter, such as what exactly Petrie's exposure might have been if someone did a bit of digging into the "5-way-agreement".

This is the only reason I have not to go.

I've paid for my season ticket. I love everything that Hibs are doing on and off the park.

I don't have confidence in the Scottish football authorities to govern in a fair and even-handed manner and I would like to see an independent inquiry into the Rangers fiasco. If the inquiry finds out (as I'm pretty sure it will) that there isn't a legal way to strip titles then that is fair enough.

But the inquiry must still be held, we must give the fans who buy tickets to watch these competitions confidence that these competitions have integrity.

I'm aggrieved that I paid as much as I did for season tickets to watch a rigged competition, but I'm prepared to "move on" as long as I am confident that lessons have been learned.

Hibs have disrespected their own fans who have shelled out good money to them in the past. They are taking a gamble that they will continue to receive that money.

You do realize that EBT'S were widespread in English Football throughout the same period and the legal experts are still trying to figure it out. None of the clubs there will lose any trophies either. If there was a chance of winning (that is trophies withdrawn and no great cost involved) Hibs would know about it. Their stance doesn't mean they agree with what went on, it just says that we now have to concentrate on the matters that affect Hibs now. On another note why were there not cries for the board to step down for the other cheating clubs in Scotland? Amazing how our fans are so quick blast the club, opinions are fine but threats!

I don't have confidence that the current encumbents at the SFA and SPFL are up to it or will change.

I think the fans reps should explain what position they took as it is us they are representing. I have no issue if they made it clear that they wanted Rangers to pay for the cheating but didn't persuade the Board and then had to adopt the majority view. I will be very disappointed if they sat on their hands or agreed with the sentiments of the statement before that majority view was released. The fans view, on here at least, would appear to be contrary to the boards.

We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the Board will be aware of the detailed legal advice that the SPFL received. We aren't.

The "unanimous" in the board's decision would suggest that they fully support it.

They now have to fight it out with those of us who disagree.

To be fair to them, the communication is a 2-way street - they take our views to the board, and will come back to us with the board's views. They might eventually convince us of the merits of this decision.

It would be good to know if we eventually got a written or verbal apology from The Rangers after their Lies and witch hunt against our Club If we didn't and and there is. now a line drawn under this whole episode Then The Rangers will see it as thier victory as they threatened everyone long enough nothing further would happen to them
I have no problem backing the Club and The Team ,but i have seen nothing from The Rangers showing any insight into how pissed off other Clubs have been about their behaviour and my worry would be they will continue to take advantage of the lack of Governance and Leadership in the future
They appear to have learnt nothing from this and i wouldn't trust them
Would love to beat them in every game we play them this Season That would send out a message to them

It tells us what way they voted it doesn't tell us what fans views they represented. If they are there just saying what they as individuals think then that is a waste of time. We should have known before they walked in what view they were representing because they should have been speaking to us, collecting that view and given the delay in the statement there was plenty time to do that. If the evidence was such that they felt compelled to vote with the board then that is fine too, I just want to know what fans view was represented and where they got the view from and why they voted with the board. As far as I am concerned justice is always worth fighting for regardless of legal advice.

The sheer quality of the hysterical hyperbolic nonsense in some of these posts should be preserved for future generations to come.

Mainly for their amusement.

Clubs we deal with will be less inclined to. It's that simple.Assuming that these are clubs in favour of an independent review, you're suggesting that (because of our stance), they won't want 1. Our cash or 2. Our players.

Yeah?

It's a collective decision, so you won't get individual directors doing that.

We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the Board will be aware of the detailed legal advice that the SPFL received. We aren't.

I would agree with this when it is a collective decision and the board members are representing themselves but the fans reps vote is really ours and I want to know what position they took before voting and more importantly why they took that position. If they spoke to a good number of fans, conducted polls, posted on social media and the fans feelings were generally in tune with the boards then that is great but I have no idea what they thought only the way they voted.

My big issue is I have no idea on this, or other matters, what view they take to the board or how they decide on what view to take. If it is their own view then I think it is a total waste of time. I certainly don'y envy Frank or Tracey as they are in a bit of a damned if they do situation but it is not helped by the fact we don't really know what way we are being represented and that is partly their fault.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

My opinion will always be the same - Petrie is a mixed bag. He has had appalling lows and made terrible mistakes at Hibs. He has had some highs, the highest of which we thought we might never see, and we should never forget the fact that he was the man at the top when it happened. He's also had everything in between.

I don't think today is his finest hour, I think this approach is a mistake, and I think it has his grubby paw prints all over it.

I had heard that behind closed doors, when the Sevco fudge was being carried out, that Petrie was very vocal that titles should be stripped at the time. He took a very dim view of what Rangers had done and wanted them punished, hard.

He was part of some big decisions though, consensus was reached, and he has to abide by the joint decisions.

I wonder if Petrie might feel he had no choice other than to take this approach, much as it may not be the one that he naturally favours? He will, of course, be party to more information than any of us, quite possibly more information than just about anyone. he knows where the bodies are buried, as they say.

I wonder if the guy realised he was duped by the GFA.

As far as I am aware, LNS knows and cares little for football - a working man's pursuit operating below his orbit. They no doubt helped him 'to understand' the issues at stake. The perfect patsy to give the decision the GFA wanted.

It would be good to know if we eventually got a written or verbal apology from The Rangers after their Lies and witch hunt against our Club If we didn't and and there is. now a line drawn under this whole episode Then The Rangers will see it as thier victory as they threatened everyone long enough nothing further would happen to them
I have no problem backing the Club and The Team ,but i have seen nothing from The Rangers showing any insight into how pissed off other Clubs have been about their behaviour and my worry would be they will continue to take advantage of the lack of Governance and Leadership in the future
They appear to have learnt nothing from this and i wouldn't trust them
Would love to beat them in every game we play them this Season That would send out a message to them

If Petrie is to remain as Hibs Chairman, he must resign from the SFA. Far too many conflicts of interests, and that statement just reaffirms that as long as he is rubbing shoulders with the SFA heid honchos, we as a club remain in Regan's back pocket.

Rangers have won heehaw, because they don't exist anymore. "The Rangers" have won the Petrofac Cup. The only cup to their clubs name. But the SFA (and every other club with the exception of Celtic) are happy for them to claim ownership over all the tainted titles stolen by the old clubs cheating.

Well not quite the bottom..... they had no right being promoted to the 3rd division, considering they were a totally new club with zero connection or liability over Rangers FC 1872-2012. Just as they had no right to claim entitlement over the titles and silverware of the old club.

How exactly can an open and transparent independent review of the game be a bad thing for Hibs? how on earth would that divide a support?

We're in the strongest position we have been in for years, the board and fans have been in a good place but this would cement that unity, I agree we need to move on but the only way to do that is by showing the world that the SFA aren't bent, anyone who assumes continuing to sweep this under the carpet will "move us on" are deluded, this has been 5 years now and people are more determined, more clued up and more demanding of the truth than ever before. this won't go away and people who think it will are kidding themselves on.

Petrie was forced into the Sporting integrity statement as we had circa only 7k season ticket holders and he was going to lose at least Half that the following season if they didn't back the fans.

With money in the bank, 13k season ticket holders, they have calculated that the good will we have towards the club and our optimism after the cup win will outweigh any detrimental feelings we will have to this statement.

It just comes across as spineless. Only fans happy with that statement are The Rangers fans. Tells you everything you need to know.

No idea of his ambitions at the SFA but he has been on that board for a long time now and the SFA continues to fail at every single thing it does. A bit like his time as CEO at Hibs although he did manage to build a stadium.

Just like Petrie, your posts are equally as calculated. You've been ramping up the "move on" rhetoric on here over the past few weeks. Obviously knowing full well what the club statement was going to be before it was released to the public.

You've lost your mind. I'm not sure how long ago that happened, but you're in cloud cuckoo land now for sure.

I don't think I've even commented on the Rangers situation never mind "ramped up the "move on rhetoric"". I'm not even sure I've suggested we "move on" from anything. I'm just watching the over reactions from people like you with a mixture of incredulity and amusement.

And as for knowing what the board think about anything, you've surpassed your usual level of fantasy. :faf:

You obviously feel it's more important to hammer the Rangers than support Hibs. I feel differently.

Rhetorical question I assume, but you are right it's all hearsay and paranoia and garbage.

It was a unanimous decision by the board. For all i think the statement was terrible, it wasn't only him involved in putting it out there.

Anything else said about the clubs reasoning around the statement is just pure guesswork.

100% agree but don't let that get in the way of the Petrie bashers.

By their logic the entire board should walk after this decision.

Let Celtic fight their own battles while we concentrate on building our club. We are improving all the time, why waste time and energy on this?

Petrie only acts if there is a financial incentive to do so or if it is in his interest in working his way up the SFA gravy train. Remember the overwhelming support for a larger top league yet he turned a deaf ear to what we wanted on that one too.

Depends on the model. I expect us to have an elected board who report to shareholders annually but takes day-to-day decisions. As such we could easily get the same decision.

HSL statement may make me change my mind but current trustees are not likely to get involved.

Indeed, he's certainly 'mellowed' in his outlook. Just my opinion, but Petrie should have walked away years ago. Leeann Dempster has done more in a couple of years than Petrie ever has. Relegation should certainly have been the end of him.

Taking sides.. ahem.. aside, what I do find strange is that any time the club does anything positive or along the lines of general supporter agreement, it's all "Brilliant by Dempster" and multiple posts pointing out what a difference she has made to this club (which she has, and I am a fan). But anything negative, or against the grain of the support and we can "smell Petrie all over this".

Is it really that simple?

What a load of ****ing nonsense.

Re the performance of the board, the fate of Sevco is of little to no importance next to the running of our own football team - and as it goes I think they've made a good point. The EBT scandal has been looked at in detail by the highest courts in the land in addition to being raked over by teams of very highly paid lawyers at the SFA's expense. And it's not as if the Huns have not already been severely punished, so further raking about in the embers of this dispute is going to serve very little purpose.

Time to move on and stop making more lawyers more wealthy at the expense of our game - learn the lessons and focus on the future.

Never relegated, ceased to be and had to re-apply. Current chairman of new-co was convicted of tax fraud and referred to as a "Glib and Shameless liar". It's amazing, or maybe it isn't, how he passed the "fit and proper' criteria that the Scottish football authorities have in place to protect our clubs and the integrity of Scottish football.

This is not just about rangers, but about the way in which the SFA run Scottish football. The statement from Hibs has Petrie's finger prints all over it and as usual he puts his interest in a blazer above that of representing the fans. I feel sorry for the fan reps as all they can do is resign and make it known why.

The huns and the SFA are the only winners here.

Hibs fans can only organise some kind of poll to find out what we want and then issue some kind of statement to the press if we disagree with the board - all a bit hunnish. We have often been let down by our representatives with them making comments to the press which was not what the majority wanted. The only way forward for the fans is through the branches at the Association to conduct some kind of poll of members.

It has been looked at by the highest courts in the land. The court of session found them guilty and the supreme court threw out their appeal!

The courts aren't the problem. Scottish football's failure to follow to the blindingly obvious conclusion is the problem.

This - some folk are never happy unless they've got something to whinge about.

I think most fans would have been happy enough to see Rangers stripped of any EBT tinged titles, but the extensive legal machinations undertaken so far all indicate there is not a hope of this happening - so WHY waste further time, money and effort pursuing the matter??? This is all addressed quite reasonably in the club's statement but the trumpets and windbags on here won't let that stop them throwing a blob strop and threatening to go in a huff - pathetic really.
