    Kevin Doyle involvement

    Heard a rumour today that Edinburgh businessman, Kevin Doyle was to get involved in a joint venture for regime change. I know his son but always thought that he was a Celtic man.

    Personally think the rumour is nonsense.

    I'm sure there were rumours of an interest from him years ago.

    He's a Celtic supporter though that wouldn't, of course, preclude him from owning Hibs.

    I agree. Kevin Doyle has enough on his plate to be getting involved in Hibs.

    Can't see him getting directly involved - and certainly not publicly as might bring threats of damage to his core public business interests (high quality pubs e.g. the Dome) from some unwelcome attention. I believe it was discussed before but core business makes it a no - I suppose the Benidorm headlines won't help re timing of any change of heart either.

    Interesting point - would we rather have an owner who supports another team, or an owner who isn't interested in football at all?

    Being frae the sticks and over 50 I know nothing about this guy or his core business. I bet you the concourse under the East would make a great rave joint ...... chuck up some lights, put optics in the pie stalls shove in a smoke machine & Bobs yer uncle. Charge a fiver to get in.

    FF concourse could be turned into an indoor bowling club for us oldies ..... chuck doon a bit of astroturf and shout go!

    We don't make enough of the indoor space we have lying empty 300 odd days a year.

    Kenneth Waugh & Billy Lowe are well known Hibs fans yet none of their high profile bars have been targeted over the last 20 years.
