AGM tonight - anyone going?

[Hibby_Paul]

Anyone going to AGM tonight, think it’s 6pm it’s on.

i’d emailed to register but work will likely scupper me going now :-(

hopefully someone going can post some highlights later.

[Valencia]

Forgot all about it!!!

[overdrive]

I was going to go but something has come up so I can't make it along. Shame as I was looking forward to the free pie (assuming that's still a thing)

[Golden Bear]

Forgot all about it!!!

And me.

Had forgotten the AGM was tonight too though.

6pm KO isn't convenient for the working man or out of towners.
I'll give it a miss this year.

[CentreLine]

Not going to make it tonight. Will be interested to hear how it goes though.
I wanted to raise the issue of the promised entertaining football being a distant hope and how we are in danger of being renamed Hibernian-nil if things don’t improve.

If anyone suggest Sean Maloney needs time then they are right, given what we need is stability. But we have to ask why, when things were moving forward under Jack Ross, his time was cut short. What we needed then was stability too but most of all we needed a proper ball carrier in midfield and a striker that actually does. Why did that not happen in the winter window?

Eater Road is not a happy or entertaining place to visit right now. If ever there was a time to get it right on the pitch it was this year. The rewards for third place are immense fir a club like Hibs. Regardless of the arithmetic possibility, any realistic commentator knows that is now beyond us.

Oh! And don’t start me on the interminable back passing

Maybe off the park they were but they were certainly not on it.. The football on display was brutal Eye bleeding to say the least..

This is the 3rd year in a row I've not received an email or letter about this. I contacted someone at the club when I moved address and they assured me my contact details would be updated but clearly that hasn't happened.

Does anyone know who at the club would sort out the contact details for shareholders for the AGM?

How long has Maloney been in the job for exactly ? It is impossible to change a culture of mediocrity in that timescale..

How can you say SM has been let down ?? He's been allowed to bring in his own staff and a good number of players whilst shifting the ones he didn't want out.. The winter window is a very difficult place to bring in good established players. Saying he's been let down is a bit off the mark I'd say...........

Yep. So let down, winter does not prevent competent loan or short term fixes. This season was critical given the unique rewards offered by European qualification from first or third. First was beyond us but third was definitely not. Is now though and we may not even stick in top six. It’s painfully bad

Well if Maloney has been let down then how would you describe the business the club did in the window ?? As I said , he's been backed heavily and it's now up to him to get the players up to speed and getting the team competitive..

Winning the cup gives a better reward than finishing 3rd does. While unlikely, we’ve got a great chance of making the semi final. We made plenty signings in January - you can’t legislate for having 11 first team starters out - how big a squad should we have built?

Did we have a good enough summer? No. We’re the results good enough regardless? No. Change was made and we will need to wait until next season to get the rewards (hopefully) of that. Couple that with the 18s being a year older and hopefully nearer the first team and I’m far more excited than most it seems.

I would describe it as long term with calculated risk. I would describe it as having potential. I would describe it as failing to address the immediate issues and failing to recognise the “risk and reward” potential of investing in the short term for this season. Guaranteed European league stage football had to tilt the balance towards investment that addressed this season. Perhaps tonight will see some answers.
This is an AGM thread to will be my last comment on this particular failure. If you need further debate on this JR/SM subject then I’d point you in the direction of the various previous threads

We spent more in January than we have for as long as I can remember?

[Malthibby]

I would have been hoping for better as well given the strength of our squad but you cannot legislate to the sheer volume of injuries we have had/are having. It's been mental
and SM is having to try & deal with that while changing the way we play. I'm pxssed off with the way this season is panning out but I won't be negative about SM when he's barely
in the door.
We're all entitled to our opinions & in mine some of the negativity that's around just now is off the scale. It feels as if there's still massive resentment about the manner
of JRs sacking; I didn't like the way it was done either but Hibs are still here & Maloney needs positive support; some posters on here are like craws sitting on a gable end
hoping something's going to die.
Jeezo, haven't even had a drink yet.

[truehibernian]

Recognition too many similar midfielders - plans already in place for summer recruitment.
£250,000 from last SJM clause
Plans to increase revenue by 30% to circa £14 million
U18's good players but not ready yet to step up to first team
Plans to invest in better hospitality and game day experience
Cannot comment on Allan as it's personal with Sylvester and Henderson ahead of him anyway
Club in safe hands under Ron and family - no plans to hand over to HSL.
Recognition that football has to be more attacking and players will leave in summer to allow SM to build attack-minded team
Boyle sale was not ideal but great money for club and for Martin

[greenginger]

Just back, Ron can sure talk. Must have yakked for 30 minutes non stop on various graphs and projections. Sure knows all the American buzz words , and business connects , as you would expect.

Then he explained how we were progressing in the social media world with new platforms and Tik Tok and stuff. I’d guess the average age of the audience was well past 60 and went right over their heads .

Isn't that a center half? Or does it depend what formation we are playing? I really hate this increasing trend of referring to numbers instead of an actual position on the pitch as it makes no sense when it's all squad numbers!

I'd traditional see a number 6 as a deeper lying midfielder. 4 and 5 would normally be your centre halfs.

There was no suggestion that the club should be 'handed over' to HSL.

The only mentions of HSL were Ron admitting he's not done enough to move the relationship forward over the last 12 months and an answer to a question about relatives being allowed to pass over their deceased family member's shares to be held by Hibernian Supporters Ltd - which is currently not permitted.

He did say he would look at this but he said that most of the night anyway. Also thought Ben was a bit cheesed off with the question on the daily record hammering ryan portuese when he was accused of not speaking out about it.

Not these days. Bartley was the last proper number 6 we had, perhaps you could add Milligan.

No, but the Finance Director started his spiel by saying “hello, hello” to much amusement though he didn’t have a clue why folk were laughing.

[Mr. Wonderful]

A 6's role is akin to a Boozy type. Sits deep but is a very good passer of the ball, always looking for forward movement.

See Fabinho at Liverpool or Fernandinho at City.

Wasn't implying or criticising HSL Daniel (member myself) - I took it to mean that the club were going to be under the stewardship of Ron long term and not become fan owned - I maybe worded it wrong in that post admittedly.

[eastterrace]

I think we need an athletic, physical defensive midfielder, as I said, in the mould of Marvin at his best. That would allow the likes of Newell to be more forward thinking. I often think Joe is hamstrung between holding midfielder and attacking midfielder - he's better at the top end of the pitch for me, hence we need someone to do the defensive / holding role for him.

He didn’t mention the reasoning but implied that if it’s an issue we should discuss it with him, which I hope to do (again).

In the case of requests we’ve had to HSL it would make next to no difference to the overall share picture at the club but would simply allow relatives to know their shares are being looked after as they intended.

[Jones28]

He’ll be a bit past it by then no?

Who’s to say he won’t have resurrected his career with us by then?

[Unseen work]

The goal of earning 1m per season from player sales is some ask but I suppose when you break it down he’s probably thinking

Nisbet
Doig
Porteous
Melkersen
Henderson
Magennis
Bushiri - If taken up permanent
Jasper - If taken up permanent

All have potential to go for over 1 million, especially when you see the English market it’s not that much.

All clearly depends on them staying injury free and progressing

[Hibbyradge]

I'm sure we paid a transfer fee.

Unfortunately missed it due to isolating with COVID.

Was there any indication of how the revenue would be increased to £14m?
Dave Cormack seemed to indicate there was a potential to significantly increase revenue by the same figure 30% as well related to increased broadcasting of games.

Would say the number 6 in Scotland would more traditionally be a centre half?

I think it could be either CH or CM. James McPake and Shaun Dennis both wore 6 for example. Bartley the obvious CM. Mikey Stewart wore 6 for us too.

What are jdh and newell? 8s?

Cause it sure don't seem like it.

Both more retention players. Sorta player that you'd put next to a more progressive #6. Do a power of work off the ball and remain neat and tidy on it. Our problem is we have two of those and Campbell who seems more of a workhorse CM rather than a talented one. We have nobody progressive in there, Scotty is but he's useless if we can't get it to him in decent areas.

Someone that can spray it about in that #6 role from deep would be perfect for us. Let them be a bit more adventurous and the likes of Newell and JDH will shine, similar to Fyvie in the 2016 team.

very best of luck to her anyway

Sorry to hear that. I found her very helpful in dealings with the club in the past.

A #6 is a CB.

A #4 a CM

A #6 is a CB.

A #4 a CM

A 6 is what they call a CDM now. 6/8 are CM. 10 AM. 4 and 5 are CBs

I’m happy that area of the park has been identified and as someone else pointed out both Kensell and Gordon mentioned how vital that position is on the podcast the other week.

Quite a few big plans in place with hospitality etc which is promising.

Also happy to see Maloney address some of the concerns around style of play. Sounds like a big summer transfer window coming up.

[Brightside]

I think we need an athletic, physical defensive midfielder, as I said, in the mould of Marvin at his best. That would allow the likes of Newell to be more forward thinking. I often think Joe is hamstrung between holding midfielder and attacking midfielder - he's better at the top end of the pitch for me, hence we need someone to do the defensive / holding role for him.

Marvin isn’t even close to the type of number 6 we need. Has to be someone that can keep possession and drive us forward. Almost none of them in Scottish football.

I’m maybe wrong but the way Maloney described it initially he said he wanted a proper defensive midfielder which would allow him to play more attack minded players in midfield. He felt the fact we didn’t currently have one meant he had to play guys like Campbell and JDH together currently. I didn’t take from that he was looking for a midfielder who would drive us forward, but one who would provide the protection to allow others to do so. It was only when RG got involved in the chat was a number 6 mentioned.

[Iain G]

… and maybe why BK and IG identified N’Golo ****e as the player that they would most like to sign in a recent podcast …

He is a number 7 though 🤣

So are they a half 8 or an after 8? 😁

[J-C]

If Maloney wants a proper DM to allow the attackers more freedom, does that mean his system will change. At the moment he plays just 2 in midfield, will he change this to a 433/4231/451 system similar to Man C, Liverpool, Celtic, Rangers etc.

Is Jdh not one of them?

[J-C]

Obviously not or Maloney wouldn't mention it, I dont think JDH is good enough to be the pivot no.6 he wants. I'd say JDH and Campbell are energetic all round CH's, I think he's looking at a Kamara type midfielder, or a Bartley with more technical ability.

Someone to take the short from the defenders, protect the ball and start attacks from deep. As mentioned before the role Boozy used to do for us.

[blackpoolhibs]

So to be clear, we have no idea if SM wants a centre half or a midfield player. :greengrin

Yeah, that's essentially what a 6 does but, you're not looking at a Bartley or Gogic type here, or we'd have kept him. He'll need to be good with the ball too and good at spreading play.

Omeonga wouldn't be a bad shout.

[Hibbyradge]

That’s so sad to hear, don’t know the reasons behind it. I’m hoping it was her decision! She said she’s gutted to be going!

For a lot of people and kids, Sue was Mrs Hibs
You wouldn’t realise how much she did for Hibs, over and above her role

[matty_f]

i thought Sue had a senior role with the Community Foundation now, rather than the club directly.

I saw Sue’s post on facebook, I think she’ll be a big miss to the club. You can’t overstate the value of having someone like Sue at the club brings, not just because of her skills in the job but in my few dealings with Sue she’s been an excellent ambassador for Hibs, and she’s someone that any new staff would look at and see what it means to work for Hibs.

My wife is a teacher and works in a deprived area. They were doing some sort of football related topic. I messaged Sue and the next week, 4 players and the scottish cup turned up at her school.

Sue is an incredible person and will be much missed

Yeah No.6 more of a player that can take the ball in tight spaces and move it about think Sergio busquets role for barca, McGeocgh a prime example of former hibs player that would be suited to it rather than the ‘Matty jack role’ type player of Bartley

Hi jeffers - yeah it was me who asked the question and that was how I interpreted the response too - I was more angling the question as to what he felt in the style he wanted to play was the best make up for the 2 centre mid slots - I felt at present we only have campbell jdh and newell playing there ( all similar) but he also pointed out we have kyle ( I had forgot about him as he's been missing so long ) - but yeah he pretty much said that a) he felt we had to many samey mids when he arrived hence hallberg , gogic away and ideally he would like a defensive mid and more box to box or attack mid type combo but we don't have that def mid ( which is when ron mentioned a no 6 which is "soccer" speak for a def mid to my knowledge) so he is having to play two in my view " neutral" mids in jdh and campbell to compensate - but only just now - but plan seems to be recruit a top notch def mid (a pirlo xavi type but obv a few models down lol like dylan in cup final !) and then have a more "creative forward thinking mid with him - was heartened to hear he also mentioned this attack mid could be hendo as I think that pairing would be ideal - certainly for games at home vs bottom 6 type teams - the mesage seemed to be though overall we are miles away from where he wants to be - summer could be interesting !

[GreenCastle]

The west stand hospitality supposedly will be expanded and all updated as offices moved to the South Stand.

This will increase revenue and the number tables available on match days which supposedly are selling out regularly.

[KWJ]

I hope that £250k from the last McGinn clause isn't including a sell on fee.

It's interesting to hear from you as the person who asked the question.

I think we would all agree with what Maloney says but it does feel like a clear admission IMO that Jake Doyle-Hayes is basically not good enough. If you get that top quality no 6 in there, it would seem pointless to partner him with JDH.

[FranckSuzy]

This is the 3rd year in a row I've not received an email or letter about this. I contacted someone at the club when I moved address and they assured me my contact details would be updated but clearly that hasn't happened.

Does anyone know who at the club would sort out the contact details for shareholders for the AGM?

I've recently moved house and wanted to update my address and Chris Gauld sorted it 👍

[email protected]

[FranckSuzy]

AGM missed tonight as I never received the info ahead of the event even though I emailed the club notifying them of a change of address
Does anyone have a contact name/number/email that I can notify of a shareholders change of address so future information will be delivered directly?

Previous change of info was sent to [email protected]

[email protected] 👍

[MWHIBBIES]

It definitely isn't going to be someone like Marv. It's going to be someone who can pass it. Would not let Gogic go then sign an anchor. A 6 is a busquets/jorginho type.

[hibsforeurope]

All seems very positive. The points about growing the income and ticket sales, was there any info behind the headlines given on how they are going to achieve this? I like the ambition but is this achievable in the current climate, especially the extra fan investment?

[banchoryhibs]

No, the £250k was confirmed as the last of the other add ons. We are still entitled to receive the sell on fee.

[speedy_gonzales]

Chris Gaunt is the man.

I know from my own experience that he had a lot of "legacy issues", partly due to Covid. He is very good at sorting things out, though.


[email protected] 👍

Thanks both, another email on its way 👍🏻

[Oscar T Grouch]

Probably for playing a certain number of games for them, he passed the 100 game mark for them at the start of this season I think, so probably that. Just need Villa to sell him this summer and he will be up there with the most money we have received for a player.

he never said as much specifically about existing players other than he felt JDH was improving and he "liked" campbell a lot which was fair enough as question was more pointed at what he felt he needed in an ideal world - or going forward - if you like rather than limitations on existing players - although he did say he wants 2 players for every position who can start ( and ideally not long term injured !) - jdh when he signed was touted by JR as a b2b as well and could get ball fwd - I think one thing Maloney is looking at imho - he never said this - is in general more variability for players to play diff roles

I think biggest problem will be getting top notch no 6 - they dont grow on trees !

[leith lynx]

A #6 is a CB.

What's a number 80?...do numbers matter anymore? (apart from #4 which is Patrick Gordon Stanton!)

yes, I’d like to think Ron and Ben are realistic about season ticket sales for next season and are budgeting accordingly. I can’t see them being great tbh, without a miraculous turnaround in the next two months and maybe winning the Scottish cup

Funny you say Ross said JDH was a b2b player but he chose to play him deep all the time.

Some onus was put on the supporters "we need to do better" in terms of season ticket sales also not underselling when it comes to commercial relationships and in RGs words becoming "hunters" instead of "farmers".

Obviously we don't know if true or why but if it is penny pinching then Ron really has no clue how some businesses work, particularly football. My kids still speak about Sue after being mascots and she has been an amazing ambassador for Hibs. Was it not her idea to take the cup round the schools.

Not picking an argument here, but even if staff have been in place for a long time doesn’t mean they have been good at their jobs. We haven’t exactly been majorly successful with the staff and support staff we have had in place so why should them leaving be alarming?

People don’t like change and often find it hard to adapt, modern business is no longer built on longevity and many successful people move around after 3-5 years in a company.

[007]

Was there any mention of the Deloitte review or Ron's wish to get the alcohol ban lifted? Surely that would go a long way to increasing revenue and would potentially help improve the atmosphere (or increase any booing).
