Totally. Wasn't sure about Ron at first, just my nature probably. But he really does seem like the real deal! Chuffed.

Might have done Luis a disservice 'some Peruvian guy' as he really seemed to do some research and made Ron feel right at home.

[Lendo]

What a brilliant watch. The host is fantastic and clearly done his research on us.

[sleeping giant]

Halfway through it.
Great interview.

Ron wants to compete. You can hear it in his voice.

[Lendo]

I love Ron’s enthusiasm. He just looks delighted whenever he talks about our future.

[badabing67]

He mentioned re-loan does that mean we now have some debt?

Our club is in safe hands👍

[h1bs4life]

Great interview , very impressed with Ron Gordon. Thanks for posting link .

[MKHIBEE]

That was fascinating, I feel we are in good hands and the future looks good.

[bingo70]

Brilliant, really enjoyed that.

Anyone who had concerns about his motives should watch that. He clearly just sees a lot of potential in growing Hibs and Scottish football.

And yes, I agree with the presenter (who was excellent) that we should sign Peruvians.

[WhileTheChief..]

What a brilliant interview, thanks for posting.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a chairman talk so enthusiastically about his club. Can’t help but be inspired by him.

He’s superb. Bang on the money in everything he talked about and his passion for football shines through.

Love him. Delighted he found us.

[CMurdoch]

He comes across very well.

[CropleyWasGod]

He mentioned re-loan does that mean we now have some debt?

I heard "re-load" cash.

Thanks for that - excellent interview, and a presenter that puts some of our journos to shame..............

[Hibbyradge]

That's all very well, but absolutely no mention of winning the European Cup in the next 5 years.

Ron the con, well named.

[KingPat4]

Thanks for that - excellent interview, and a presenter that puts some of our journos to shame..............

I would suggest the presenter put ALL of our journos to shame.

[Billy Whizz]

I heard "re-load" cash.

What does that mean Crops

[Peevemor]

That's a brilliant, very comforting interview.

Two things that struck me most were his wish to improve the business model and raise the profile of Scottish football, but more so to be less of a selling club.

Thanks for posting.

[monarch]

The interviewer looked like he could be Chic Young’s Peruvian cousin. On second thoughts he was far more knowledgeable about Hibs and Scottish football.
Ron seems to really get Hibs. Was also really impressed about his opinion on the European Super League bloodsuckers.
I was initially sceptical but am now confident this is the start of a great journey with him.

[7Hero]

thanks goodness we have someone so enthusiastic about our club and football in general, he has business acumen and an interest in competing.

Makes a pleasant change

[CropleyWasGod]

What does that mean Crops

Build up cash reserves that had been badly depleted. He specifically mentioned ST sales.

[mim]

"an easy club to fall in love with" :flag:

[Billy Whizz]

Build up cash reserves that had been badly depleted. He specifically mentioned ST sales.

That is our biggest chunk of cash, apart from selling players, although Europe could help for next season

[badabing67]

What does that mean Crops

Great minds and all that. Remember some people hear what they want to hear.

[Hibby70]

That was excellent. Anyone doubting Ron's motives should watch that.

[SanFranHibs]

Thanks for posting.

Yes and closely followed by 'the money eventually finds it way to the pitch'. Liked that.

[gbhibby]

Very impressive interview Scottish football is lucky to have him. Gets the club and has a clear vision of what he wants. Nice jumper by the way.

[scotia44]

Don't know if its me but he is an impressive figure that sees the complete arse the governing bodies and other chairman have made of Scottish football.
It might bite me in the behookie but this guy will take us to levels purely on enthusiasm that we have never witnessed

Hats off to him and more power to his elbow

[tamig]

Great minds and all that. Remember some people hear what they want to hear.

What do you mean by that?

[EdinMike]

Loved that, you can tell he has a passion for what he’s doing. And sounds like he’s enjoying himself.

[Not In The Know]

[QUOTE=badabing67;6570146]He mentioned re-loan does that mean we now have some debt?[/QUOTE


if that’s all you can take from that interview. Well, I don’t know what to say...

[tmb1875]

What an interview [emoji1433][emoji1433] host was very good and Ron Gordon came over really well. Wonder if the club could put that out on all their platforms, definitely builds a wee buzz for Saturday.

[GreenCastle]

Enjoyed that - thanks for sharing.

Really hope he improves the stadium and keeps growing the club - the fans will back the team and could really see the support / club grow further if we keep up the improvements on and off the pitch.

[DaveF]

Great interview. Already looking forward to the multi squillion dollar deal with Inca cola 😁

[Vault Boy]

Love his obvious enthusiasm and energy for the club and wider Scottish game. It's been some start to his tenure, very excited for what's to come.

[CB Hibs 68]

I would suggest the presenter put ALL of our journos to shame.Couldn't agree more.When I think of the tripe we have to put up with from some of the pundits in Scotland that guy was a mile ahead in his football knowledge.Ron was great .The only thing that confused me was that he mentioned at the start that his grandfather from England moved to Peru.Thought his grandfather was Scottish and that was how he ended up in Scottish fitba?

[yerauldda]

Can only echo what others have said.
Nobody can surely doubt his motives for buying the club now. Passionate, articulate and driven. Terrific interview.

[ElginHibbie]

Don't know how you can listen to him and not like the guy, he's obviously passionate not just about improving Hibs but Scottish football as a whole.

Really optimistic the future is bright under Ron

[CraigHibee]

I heard "re-load" cash.

Definitely reload

[King Cosell]

Inca Kola on our shirts next season? Just googled it, would look smart.

[Allez Hibs]

A very good listen.

He is already calling out how shambolic Scottish football is run...Highest attended league in Europe per capita yet the league and Cup don't have title sponsors. Sounds like he is looking to stand up to Glasgow. We are lucky to have Ron.

[green day]

Not that surprising that Tom Farmer sold to someone who appears to be a decent guy.

[jacomo]

Americans use England to mean all of Great Britain, same as we say Holland for the Netherlands.

[Andy74]

We actually do have some debt now though for those wondering if we do. Was discussed at the AGM that we took advantage of a long term government loan at an advantageous rate.

[plhibs]

I really enjoyed that, he seems to be so enthusiastic about Hibs, like a breath of fresh air. Loved the way he sounded like a native Peruvian at times, think we have a very smart man at the helm of our team.

[matty_f]

He always comes across really well, I think he’s been great for Hibs and we’ll go from strength to strength under him, imho.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Shout out to Carlo at The Peruvian, introduced me to Inca Cola (and some tidy Peruvian food) when he had a pop up at a food market in town a few years back.

Think he’s set up again at the Neighbourgood market at Edinburgh Accies in Stockbridge. Worth a visit.

20 minute interview with Ron Gordon with some Peruvian football podcast guy

https://youtu.be/-4ss_fp9ijk

Thank you for posting that interview. It was excellent. Thought the Peruvian interviewer was very well informed about Scottish football and was a top host.

Ron was very natural and came across well. I think our club is in good hands.

[Bangkok Hibby]

Great watch thank you for posting this. I've had faith in Ron Gordon since day one. In the not too distant future fans will be sitting in the "Ron Gordon stand" watching us tank the likes of Man U and Barcelona 😀👍🏻

[Jones28]

Not that surprising that Tom Farmer sold to someone who appears to be a decent guy.

I was never in doubt he would make the right decision. A proper custodian of the club, and oversaw massive, positive transformation.

[weecounty hibby]

Great interview andbi really believe he is the right man for Hibs and Scottish football. He clearly has a vision for Hibs but also for the game in Scotland in general. And it doesn't seem to be driven purely by self interest unlike someone else who made a total arse of herself when she was leading a task force. Excited for Hibs future with Ron in charge. Now if only he had promised world Cup players and CL victory in the next 5 years he would be the real deal!

[JimBHibees]

Fantastic interview and the presenter was excellent also. Enthusiastic and talked up our game who would have thought. Ron speaks well and so enthusiastic. The final is a massive opportunity to emphasise our progress. Superb Ron. :flag:

[JimBHibees]

I really enjoyed that, he seems to be so enthusiastic about Hibs, like a breath of fresh air. Loved the way he sounded like a native Peruvian at times, think we have a very smart man at the helm of our team.

He is one he was born and brought up there.

[jacomo]

Passion, commitment, smarts, focus... and a bit of money too. Ron Gordon really ticks the boxes in terms of what you want from a football club owner.

Fascinating to hear his views on the European Super League. He wasn’t fooled by that one.

Also interesting how he is across the business but kept bringing the conversation back to the first team. There’s that passion and focus again.

He loves being involved and he knows what he’s doing. We are in good hands.

[jacomo]

Not that surprising that Tom Farmer sold to someone who appears to be a decent guy.


True, but even so... they seem to have unearthed a real diamond.

To add to my eulogy above, Ron seems to have a bit of humility about him too, saying that he is a custodian of the club and should work in the wider interests of football.

[Not In The Know]

Peru is not the only country in the world where coke is not the leading brand of soft drink. We have Irn bru.

[Northernhibee]

I was never in doubt he would make the right decision. A proper custodian of the club, and oversaw massive, positive transformation.

I think in another decade we will really see the rewards of Sir Tom’s leadership even more. We are set up for success.

[bingo70]

I had it in my head he was brought up in Australia.

Did I just make that up?

[Peevemor]

I had it in my head he was brought up in Australia.

You definitely made that up. :greengrin

[happiehibbie]

great interview

[J-C]

I loved how he started the interview with his broad American accent then it gradually became more Latino after he spoke in fluent Spanish.

[gbhibby]

Hope he doesn't get hamstrung by the red tape associated with the bodies that run Scottish football. His outlook is refreshing so hope he can help improve things for the good of the game.

[Alex Trager]

Are there any that doubted him, changing their minds?

[badabing67]

I heard "re-load" cash.

Yeah your right he did say re-load apologises.... Not sure what it means though

[CropleyWasGod]

Yeah your right he did say re-load apologises.... Not sure what it means though

Basically, rebuilding cash reserves which, this time last year, were very low.

[JohnMcM]

Well done the interviewer (start a coaching programme for your counterparts here please).
Well done Sir Tom Farmer for leaving this club in Ron Gordon’s hands.
Well done the OP for giving us the interview link.
Well done Ron Gordon for your open answers and for giving us hope for the future of Hibs.

[jacomo]

Exactly what he means. ST sales for this season no doubt exceeded all expectations.

[Hibeesforever]

Excellent stuff, sounds like a fan!

[CropleyWasGod]

I think we need a translation of the bits in Spanish.

For all we know, he's saying "And these ***** lap it all up. 5-1 ya bass. "

[Ozyhibby]

Pleased to hear that there was an effort to bring the average age of the squad down. It has shown in our results.
I also hope McGregor starts on Saturday. [emoji6]

Very,very good interview with Ron. By his demeanour you can't but help seeing he really 'gets Hibs' and a clear vision he has for the future. A mention must go to the interviewer, he was very capable, concise, articulate,knew his facts kind of guy and let the interview flow uninterrupted, as opposed to the bunch of ignorant,inarticulate, incoherent, biased cowboys we have here,masquerading as presenters and broadcasters. Take note BBC Weegie/Sportsound.

[Keyser Sauzee]

We need to get the Peruvian flags flying at ER when crowds are back 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪

[Peevemor]

One thing that crossed my mind. Had Ron Gordon bought another team (eg. Hearts) instead of us and I saw that interview, I'd be as jealous as a big really jealous thing.

[weecounty hibby]

As I am of the vintage that can still clearly see Teofilo Cubillas lashing the ball past Roughie in 1978 I think a nod to Peru snd Ron's roots in our away strip is in order. White with a green diagonal band like the classic Peru strip would be lovely.

Well there quite often seems to be plenty Peruvian flying about on derby day with the states some seem to get in 😂😂

That was the low point of the interview for me. Mention of Cubillas and Chumpitaz sent shivers up my spine. Prick.

🤣 I've mellowed through the years. Still think we could have won it if we had beaten Iran!

[WhileTheChief..]

Peru is not the only country in the world where coke is not the leading brand of soft drink. We have Irn bru.

Yeah but the leading brand of cola in Peru isn’t Coke. That’s the point he was making, not soft drinks in general.

[Phil MaGlass]

Hows that for passion, loves the club loves Scottish fitba, nice one, this country needs more folk talking up our undersold game. Such a positive guy. Gives you real hope for the future.

Sounds good 👍🏻

[Hibbyradge]

White with a green diagonal band like the classic Peru strip would be lovely.

I would love that.

[He's here!]

Thank you for making me aware of this interview. First time I've listened to Ron speak at length and get more of a feel for him as a person/businessmen. Very impressive. And as others have said the interviewer is a breath of fresh air compared to the likes of the Radio Scotland dullards.

[weecounty hibby]

I would love that.

Am emailing Joma as we speak!!!!

Remember it well

They were just a bunch of thirty somethings over the hill that Ally Macleod never even bothered to have watched

Why bother they were only holders of the Copa America?

Teofilo Cubillas was something else

[Pagan Hibernia]

I like him. He’s an easy man to like. Infectious enthusiasm while having his head screwed on too, not making daft promises like mad vlad and his ilk.

[mjhibby]

I heard "re-load" cash.

I presume he means the £2m loan that was available to all spl clubs which is interest free and can be paid back in up to 20 years. I’m sure it will be quietly forget about when the pandemic is over.

[Steve88]

The ambition Ron has for Hibs is incredible.

I'm beyond excited for this club in what appears to be a secular change in the clubs history:agree:..
