Their former national organiser Jim Slaven is also secretary of the Edinburgh-based James Connolly Society. Slavin was an active campaigner on behalf of the three IRA suspects sentenced in their absence to 17 years for aiding terrorists in Colombia - the Colombia Three. He was fined £350 and jailed for 14 days after refusing to pay after conviction for inciting people to attack police officers and resisting arrest in 1993 at an illegal march.[2] Slavin resigned from the organisation in December 2007 to pursue other opportunities outside politics.

In my view the mostly likely model of community ownership is a 4 way split. Farmer. Large single investor. Hibs supporting business consortium. Ordinary fan membership scheme.

Farmer or his trust would keep a minimum of 26% to ensure veto rights. The single investor would replace Farmer as bank of last resort/Leigh fund :-)

I will ask again, where is all the evidence this group has on the so called liars and thieves that is the Hibs board and owners? Have I missed it??

Thanks,that's very interesting. Which of these roles would be filled by Jim Slaven and Bradley Welsh?

none, they represent no one and have no cash. The day a couple of eejits like that get anywhere near controlling Hibs is the day I pack in supporting football for good.

Do you mean me? I don't support them nor am I against them.
The fact that they have managed to get a meeting with the people running the club clearly shows that they are not prepared to dismiss their actions in the same way many people on here are doing.

Could it be that what was discussed was their allegations?

I would guess that they've been pulled in front of the board to be warned about the stuff their publishing. They say that they're willing to work with STF, etc. - I'm sure everyone at Hibs will sleep better knowing that!

The fact is that STF holds all the cards. If he looks at the stick he gets on here and elsewhere he'd be within his rights to say "frack this for a game of sodjers", shut the club down, sell ER/EM and get some dosh back.

There's not a thing that anyone could do about it.

I think he will remember a certain fat tory ******* tried that, and wont want the trouble that would arrive on his doorstep should he even think about doing that.

Yep and they will be worried about Rod (who claims to have nowt to do with running of club) and STF giving them warnings. Sounds like Jim Slaven (from above reports) doesn't care too much others say, law or otherwise.

Correct.
They care about our club and that's admirable but neither is capable of bringing any serious investor to the table. They expect Sir Tom to hand the club to a fan group for hee haw including £23m of book value assets.
How likely is that? Hmm...

Of course there would be carnage but it's a different situation. FTB tried to dress an asset stripping exercise up as something else and the fact that our greatest rivals were involved added extra spice.

Hibs supporters can protest all they want, boycott matches, whatever - the bottom line is that no-one is in a position to make demands of STF in relation to Hibs.

What's ironic in all this is that most of our problems have arisen because the board have done too much over the years in accordance with the fans' wishes.

No what is ironic is that the board has no idea of what Football is and means to supporter's, yet some continue to back these joker's who have taken us down to where we are now....STF and RP wouldn't know a fitba, if it hit them in the henry's

Yup, completely agree.

RP is the club chairman, therefore he has everything to do with it's running. Who is employed and delegated to carry out the day to day management is another issue.

So because he's the chairman and tells the naughty boys to stop, you think they are going to?

Exactly, an owner who doesn't give a toss about the club or the community he laughably saved it for. And a clown STF put in charge to run it in his absence who couldn't find a ride in a barrel of phannies.

That may be the case to a certain extent, but I'd rather have them than the HOH phannies, any day of the week.

A bunch of guys in the back room of a gym, making up and publishing (on the Web and in print) slanderous rumours about a multi-millionaire international businessman. Who do you think will finish on top?

And do you honestly think that, in his rags to riches career, STF has never encountered bams who needed kept in their place?

For someone who doesn't give a toss he has deep pockets. Not only a Mercer time but at other times throughout the years. The problem has been with choices made throughout the term since in terms of managers and players.

Do you really think he takes pleasure in seeing the club in its current state?

Why did the Club agree to meet them if indeed their claims were slanderous? Do you not think a letter from STF lawyer's would do the trick?
