Call me an old skeptic but Even if I was the worlds greatest person for "thinking outside the box" I'd probably cringe seeing such management-babble written about me.

Or it could mean he out sources to somewhere with better skills, reduces his own overheads allowing him to maximise the return to his shareholders. Meaning if he does need capital going forward he would have no problem raising it???

There is nothing wrong in making money!

That's him. £1m up front and £20k a month IIRC. He's going to have to come up with a lot more than that to have a credible bid.

No surprise then that he suddenly appears again a couple of days after the SDS survey results became public.

Depends how it's made I suppose. And for as long as maximising shareholder dividend remains the only legal obligation companies have, their staff - those who do the work and make the profits - will have their terms and conditions eroded. Not that I'm suggesting the company mentioned in this thread acts immorally, it's a wider point. It would be nice if working people could get their share of the money made.

I take your point, and I do believe if you treat staff with respect, pay them fairly, invest in their development and offer opportunities when available the company will reap the rewards. Although I still think people should earn their wages and not think they are entitled to them.

Let's not drag this into a political debate. Up the Tories! ;)

Yep, the one that got pelters for coming on here and offering a fund of a Million Pounds towards a takeover.

I vouched for him but refused to give his name....so I got pelters as well!!!


Can I just say to all those that doubted the guy, particularly those that were a bit cheeky to me...


GIRUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Globals identity was about the worst kept secret on here.

I'm as cynical about his bid today as I was when he 'launched' it by posting on here.

Theres a big difference between being mentioned in a small side article in one newspaper and having a credible bid/plan to buy the club.

I'd hang off on the GIRUYs for a wee while longer.

I think his intentions on here were honourable, he was basically testing the waters by getting the feelings of a large group of the support, since then we've been relegated and a number of fan groups have arisen wanting some sort of supporter led takeover. It looks to me like he's seen the opportunity to now state his intentions and maybe gather all the groups together and make one large group to muster a takeover bid, all that's needed is say 3-4 businessmen with £1m each and the supporters adding the rest.

TBH, I didn't intend my post to be taken entirely seriously (I've now removed it)


I had a number of questions about the Bid that remain open as well, and I'm not entirely convnced he went the right way about it on here (althogh who knows what would be the best way), but I still think his intentions were good. I do believe he has the best interests of Hibs at heart.


I'd be all in favour of a bid where one or more businessmen put up part of a Bid and the rest came from a large number of Fans willing to buy a small number of shares each. As long as those Fans interests were represented on the Board, I feel that would be a decent way to have a takeover.

Don't disagree.

But it's well early for the GIRUYs. I'll remain scpetical of any bid until it's properly presented and appears viable.

At the moment we have surveys, a lot of paper talk, meetings and one failed bid but not a lot else.

I want rid of Petrie and potentially STF as much as the next person but it has to be done properly with the right people. As of now no one has put their money where their mouth is.
