    £150m to Hibs. Therefore Hibs and I set up for life :)

    I'm not sure but probably at least 1m a year. I would tell anyone though and the thread on kickback claiming we were going bust because we are getting dodgy loans would be hilarious

    I would build a new Stadium and HTC complex at Straiton and sell everything else as I live in Libby

    Simples!

    I’d start off with a redundancy payment for two people then take it from there.

    Probably pay to improve things rather than donating money. Pay for the indoor pitch, improve the speakers, paint job, screens in the corners etc should Hibs want them.

    Don’t think I’d get involved in providing funding to the playing side though.

    Get the corners filled.

    1. Bring in a top level recruitment team and drastically expand our scouting network.
    2. Sign the best young talent in Scotland at present to give us a kick start (Turnbull, Scott, J Kerr, L Ferguson etc.)
    4. Pay off the rest of the catering contract and bring catering in house or a new supplier
    5. Fill the corners with 2 x seating to increase capacity and 2 x Large screens
    6. Lure back Sauzee to work for the club in an ambassadorial role
    7. Probably the most important, set about finding the best possible coaching team, leaving no stone unturned and not limiting the club to candidates who "ken the scottish game"

    Good idea in theory, but realistically how often would we fill them up

    If he's also adding 20M to the playing budget, I'd imagine we'd fill them quite a lot.

    Would rather invest in Hibs and make sure we pump them every time we face them. Like celtic done to rangers a few years ago with 5-1 5-0 5-1 ect but do it over a decade. Properly finish them off. Every derby people say they are due a pumping from us and the only time during a game i genuinely thought it would happen was when shinnie put us 3-0 up with half an hour to go

    Actually agree, was just a bit of jest.

    I'd match Ron's investment that's taking us to the next level.

    1. Fill in the corner between the East and the Famous Five
    2. Enclose the other three corners with TV/Ad screens
    3. Endow a Hibernian youth development fund
    4. Create a player cost annuity fund. A fund specifically there to top-up in those Leigh Griffiths £150k moments.
    5. State of the art PA/Sound system installation.
    6. Install mechanised removable pitch to allow stadium use throughout season for gigs, shows etc.


    That should knock out a good chunk of it.

    Zilch.

    Pony up for the indoor pitch to be built and let the club focus on football rather than bricks and mortar.

    Beyond that not a lot. Certainly no ongoing investment. Hibs are a business and there are far more worthy causes to give money to that would do far more good for the world. Let's be honest you'd get little thanks for it from the fanbase anyway.

    I’ve always said if I won something like that 5% would go to Hibs and all I would ask for is a box for life. With 8 spaces, and the gold meal package.

    I’d set a limit of £10.00 million for Hibs.

    Centre stand season tickets for me and my mates for life, fund One off infrastructure projects/ upgrade of facilities and keep as low a profile as possible. No ambition to become part of the social media coconut shy.

    Would probably have a contingency to bail us out the next time our finances head south.

    Apart from that I’d make sure my family were all financially secure for life and buy a wee place in Italy. Would keep working at least part time and donate lots of money to charity. Probably would try to keep it as low key as possible as I think people’s attitude to you would change.

    I had said that the other day about donating to charity. Once your were done buying bits of property (which still have a value in themselves so the money isn’t “gone” as such) and seeing people right I think I’d struggle to blast more than a couple of million. And even then I’d have to try to do it.

    Happily spend a good chunk on investing in indoor pitch/sound system/catering and then help the club bring in a few john Mcginn style signings on long term contracts as well as a glamour signing (Griffiths) or two to give a boost. Then let them crack on

    Imagine sitting at the press conference in full Hibs trakkie as the Yams new owner announcing Leveins new 10 year contract!

    I'd fund the salary of a new management team and commit to that for the next 10 years, build a top class training academy and leave it at that, the club should be developing young talent. It would all be dependant on Ron's involvement.
