HSL was set up to give Hibs fans a share in the future of our club collectively, this was not bought into by as many Hibs fans as was hoped.
But the reality is HSL members have put in around £750k into Hibs. The club was sold and the new owner does want to reduce his shareholding, again this is understandable but things changes. Hibs like all businesses are facing a struggle for survival.
But football clubs are different as we all buy into the club with our hearts not just cash. But if RG wants HSL to help then I don’t think it’s unreasonable to reinstate the same deal that STF had with HSL to get more cash into Hibs. HSL were set up get a shares in Hibs for the fans not as an additional income stream for our multi million pound club owner.
