The Takeover Megathread (David Low Bid Rejected)

**~~Glorious St Pat~~** · 01-08-2014 06:13 PM

Was speaking to the brother of a well connected and reputed football agent (he has own business and many EPL players on his books) and the word going round was that the take-over was all but done and dusted. Kano was to be the new chairman and investing his own money into the club plus other financial backers - the name Bill? came up. The talks with Farmer are well advanced apparently.

Thoughts?

**Gordy M** · 01-08-2014 06:15 PM

So no fan takeover or purchase of shares then?

**~~Sergey~~** · 01-08-2014 06:15 PM

You're exactly 4 months too late with this - as that's when April 1st fell.

My thoughts are that you're on a Fishing Trip but haven't yet caught anybody.

What money does Kano have at his disposal..?...Im not talking about his generic bank accounts, but he "runs/manages" a couple of local pubs for Punch or whomever .. apologies if I am wrong & he has millions stashed away but I seriously have my doubts about what you have just posted ..

**Ferry Hibbee** · 01-08-2014 06:57 PM

Sure I saw Kano sitting outside Starbucks about 9:15 this morning. Whoever this gentleman was in discussion with, they giving it plenty discussion with lots of arm moving . If it was Kano I,ve no idea who the other was but it was not STF.

Owns a substantial amount of properties around Edinburgh seemingly but still can't see him being the chairman... Place on the board of a new regime perhaps

There's no mention of how much he's investing. It could be the other guys he's in with are investing the big money but kanes investing what he can, might be significant amounts but it might not.

We're currently owned by a multi millionaire who doesn't spend anything or care how we do, this is how we ended up in the 1st division, if we were to be taken over by someone with no money we'd be no worse off as we'd still only spend what we brought in.

***Keith_M*** · 01-08-2014 07:14 PM

This Kano guy is amazing, he's even started his own Computer Range for Kids

Do Duff & Gray not set alarm bells off ..? ..I don't doubt Kano nor his intentions for the club, I know nothing of the "money men" either but one thing that concerns me is the OP ...all quiet for a while then comes on with the big spoon ...

**** stirrer ..

Maybe, Maybe not, don't know the person so I've no reason to doubt them. Probably more likely they heard a pish rumour, there's plenty going round.

If it is a wind up its a pretty pish one.

Are you really for real?

What sort of people believe this nonsense that they post it?

No idea how loaded Paul Kane is but his house is a fair size pile.

we would be totally in the brown smelly stuff......do you really think the bank would accept transfer of the sizeable mortgages without Sir Tom's guarantee on those

Are they guaranteed by him?

The accounts say that they are secured, but not how.

Probably came from Kanos pub

johnbc70 · 01-08-2014 09:29 PM

He used to own a flat in Morningside Road in the 90's he rented out as it was in my block. Think he also owned a few others.

A jambo friend I bumped into has some connections to an ex chairman and he dropped a few hints big changes were being planned behind the scenes at Hibs.

Disgraceful post. He's obviously for real, otherwise why bother posting it. I heard the same story a week or so ago, so there's definitely something in it.

nope it is aload of xrap. so u heard same story a week ago? doesnt make it real or something in it. gossip thats all it is. no way kane will ever be chairman at hibs and thats fact!

**WestCoastHibby** · 02-08-2014 01:24 AM

I cant believe the amount of single fish I read on this site. If Paul Kane is doing ok for himself , great; but I suspect he isn't in the filthy rich category. Basically if he is any kind of business man he wont be investing in any football club anytime soon I imagine.
If there as one iota of truth here some wee fanny from the media would be " exclusively revealing "as we speak.
