    If that's the case then why would farmer suddenly let them back into the fold?

    And also, see if you're worth £7.2 billion, why would you invest in a Scottish club?
    Sigh!! … how often do I have to explain this.

    To make worldwide headlines with an EPL or La Liga team you have to spend about half of your 7.2 billion quid. To make worldwide headlines ( and you would ) by being behind the club that breaks the worlds longest lasting sports duopoly, now monopoly, you would only have to spend a fraction of that.

    What better club to choose as your vehicle than one that already has a decent stadium, its own training centre and most importantly a growable fan base?. All that and its based in one of the worlds most internationally high profile cities, at least in a cultural sense.

    Given all of that its far from outlandish that we might be a target from someone with pots of cash and with the sense to see an opportunity that all of the others cant see staring them in the face.

    So is it Global Hibby up to his tricks again?
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Was he the Celtic guy that wanted us for a pound or something?

    Sounded like an absolute slaver.
    That was David Low - yes an absolute slaver.

    A regular at Easter Road when he lived in Edinburgh, but only when “Celtic were playing away from home”.

    I agree with this. There's also the chance that the football landscape will change. If you had an Edinburgh team in the English system(who knows what will happen in the next 10 years+) then you've got a potential goldmine. The Lothian and Borders/Fife region has a lot of potential customers in it for a successful football team to potentially entice.

    Kenny Millar's aversion to the question is certainly interesting. He's usually quick to quell false info.

    No deal done yet , been talked about in ER last few weeks, American based business man putting £5 million in to club structure. Good news if deal is done.

    He is, I don't think that effects my point though.

    Could this be linked to the delay in announcing a sponsor?

    Thought this aswell, just ignored the rumour part instead of saying that’s not the case etc.

    Also find it funny how Tam McManus is trying to make out he is itk again.

    Would you be interested in a shed in Lincolnshire?

    Ripe for investment and already painted in Hibs colours.

    All reasonable points.

    I would add that there is a strong desire for extended European competition amongst the big hitters in football. An Edinburgh team would be an asset to an expanded Europa League. I suspect the next decade will see changes to domestic and international football competition. Using my powers of divination, and my crystal ball, I predict Qatar will see a revolution that the games governing bodies will be powerless to stop.

    Aside from all of that STF will not be here forever. The future of the club is up for grabs and change will happen, sooner or later.

    I heard this rumour early this morning, it came via London media types.

    From the little I know of the Barclay brothers I am distinctly uneasy about this.

    I for one welcome our new American overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted season ticket holder, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

    More likely to be the boy skellet he's had interest in us before. the times headline here " burning desire to buy hibs" back from 2018

    For the Hibs fans messaging me about potential big investment in the club from the 🇺🇸. Hearing it’s an Edinburgh businessman based over there. I heard the same thing a few days ago. I hope it is true as can only kick the club on.🤞🏻💚

    Seems like hot garbage to me and should be put in the trash where it belongs.
