If Hibs vote for temporary re-construction, what will you do?

It's quite clear that the media are overloading the "sympathy" message for the Hertz being relegated and the case why we should re-construct the leagues. Unless I've missed it, I've not seen many reports lately of the opposing view. I wonder whether clubs like Motherwell, Hibs etc are worried about being portrayed as the 'bad guys'.

The worry is that clubs will be 'bullied' into accepting temporary re-construction.

If Hibs vote for temporary re-construction, there's been a few commenting that they would not renew their Season Ticket or purchase Hibs merchandise next season, penalising Hibs when they need us most. However, it's extremely frustrating watching a club spending money they shouldn't be spending, being poorly managed and yet we've to feel sorry for them, allowing them to do it again next season.

So Hibs vote for temporary re-construction, what will you do?

Anyone who doesn't answer the top option doesn't have Hibs wellbeing as their number one priority.

How does hibs voting for temporary restructure, which would be 100% inarguably to save Hearts, help Hibs wellbeing?



Hibs must stick with their guns and vote against it. Anything else is unforgivable. If 11 other clubs vote for reconstruction then thats what happens. There is nothing hibs can do but Hibs MUST vote against it.

I'll continue to support Hibs - but I'll be disgusted if they vote to help hearts.

Not continuing to support Hibs because of it would hurt Hibs, not anyone else.

This is our chance to put distance between us for a few years
Hearts will be back, but it will take them a few years to get upto Hibs level

Hibs ignoring the will of the majority of their support on such a big issue would hurt Hibs.

Hibs voting for reconstruction would show the club don’t have Hibs wellbeing as their number one priority.

Would be shameful if Hibs voted to save that lot.

I'm not saying Hibs should vote for reconstruction, they shouldn't and I hope they don't.

But if they do (and that's the premise of this thread) then not continuing to support Hibs only hurts Hibs.

Unforgivable even if our owner and chief executive think it's the best option in the current climate?

How do you work that one out? Surely our club will vote whichever way makes most sense for our benefit. Reconstruction could potentially be a lifeline for several clubs.

So if you don’t vote for your preferred option we are all against Hibs what a Daft statement , as others have said we were one of the 6 who voted no for the good of Hibs then and any change now is simply to save hearts who overspent and put themselves in this situation albeit the season was cut short.

Refunds all round.

How is voting to save Hearts in a temporary restructure the best option for Hibs? I see zero benefits for Hibs. What i do see is a horrible, disgusting club trying to play the victim card and pleading poverty to try and emotionally blackmail clubs into saving them. If Gordon and Dempster are gullible enough to buy that then maybe they arent the right people to be running the club.



That all being said i think we will vote against it. I dont think they are that stupid and will see through their pish. Theyve done it the last couple of times so i dont see any reason for them to change their minds.

The Hibs board should do what’s best for Hibs regardless of whether that saves Hearts but I can’t see how the two are compatible

Yes seeing as the option I voted for is the only one which doesn't harm Hibs.
What don't you understand about that?

If the shoe was on the other foot, would they be voting to save us? Not a chance. They remain the only club in world football who attempted a hostile takeover of their rivals in an attempt to close us down. We should vote in the best interests of Hibs and vote for us being the only premiership team in Edinburgh. That will help bring in what very little commercial income in Edinburgh there is available next season to us.

Financially, every club in Scotland is in trouble right now, including us. We need to get the game started again in some capacity by August in order to bring in income. Any reconstruction will result in us sharing that income with others. We can’t afford to do that. The club can’t vote to just give away money and in the same breath ask the fans not to ask for refunds on games they can’t attend.
If we are playing behind closed doors for some games next season then that will become an issue again and I’ll happily not ask for a refund again so long as I know the club are not just giving away money by expanding the league.

So what will you do if we support reconstruction? Which option did you vote for?

If Hibs have any part to play in keeping them up whether that be a vote for reconstruction temporary or permanent I'll be keeping my ST money and spending it on other things. The money I spend on kits or whatever will go elsewhere too. If that makes me less of a fan in some other fans eyes so be it. If Hibs vote against it which I suspect they will and the 11 others vote for it then that's a different matter.

I have Hibs well being at the forefront - Never will we get a greater opportunity to turn the screw on them and create a gap between us and dominate for a long period of time. We had the chance when they went into admin before and never took it. Also, to match the clubs and fans ambitions for consistent top 4 and European football. I have more faith in this board than the previous board that this can happen though and Hibs must do all they can to ensure that.

They are were they are due to poor sporting performance. Is it perhaps a tad unfortunate that the season had to be called early due to a global pandemic? Yes, but thats all it is - unfortunate at best, they aren't the only team in the world with this situation. They have been financially mismanaged again. They have deliberately overspent to try gain a sporting advantage and failed. Reap what you sow.

The last one. But i dont think it will happen anyway. But if it did i cant put money into a club who ignores its fans on issues as big as this. Its like 2012 all over again. Petrie listened and went the right way and i hope (and im sure) the Hibs board will do the same again.

This is the wrong question. We should show hibs what fan opinion is first and then there should be a what would you do question.

Fans have to make their views known to LD so she knows which way to vote.

Nonsense like this and the phrase “the will of the fans” makes me thank le god we’re not a fan run club nor will be any time soon.

Deja vu.

The club knows what the fans think - just dig up the other poll.

No point in fans getting stressed at others :)

Care to explain how it is nonsense?

All this thread proves is the Hertz still live rent free in too many people's heads even after our Cup win.

Hibs stayed aim each season is to qualify for the Europa league. Bringing in another club from the league below who have a higher wage budget will make that more difficult. A vote to save them is a vote that is not in Hibs interest. How would the fans feel if we keep them up only to watch them pip us for a European spot with a win at Easter road?

Aye right Mr Angry. You won't bully me the way you always try to with anyone who disagrees with you. A troll posts then disappears. I am very much still here.

I have stated I will continue to support Hibs whichever way we vote. You have stated you won't. Possible change of username required.
