I know he was back in Edinburgh for Christmas but anyone know if he’s still here?
I think I’m right in saying the unveiling of the big plan was to be in January, when I saw he was back at Christmas I assumed it would have been at the start of the year so hopefully get to hear soon?
I’m sure I’m probably expecting too much from whatever is announced but they did make it sound like some big news was coming when they spoke about it after Heckingbottom was sacked.

Starting to forget he’s even here

What do people think the news will be ?
Obviously like everyone else I'm keen to find out but haven't a clue as to what it could be, wouldn't even want to speculate.

Hopefully the longer term plans we’re due to hear about soon are a bit more exciting than what we’ve seen short term.

I don’t think we’ll see huge investment on the playing side. Players wages etc. Folks going to be very disappointed considering the big build up. 😕

Could do worse than build a hotel in the corner between the FF & the East as someone mentioned.
Definitely a money spinner for the club. Might bring a few tourists through the turnstiles also.

Big signing as statement of intent.
Standing section and big screens at ER.
Sly dig at Hearts.
That’ll do me.

I'm just expecting a vague outline of a 5 year business plan. What we've heard before but from the new guy. That we are going to maximise commercial revenue, invest in youth, play a role in the community, want to be challenging or cups and qualifying for Europe. I can't see there being anything exciting, specific, new or any real investment - will just be sound bites. I'm getting old and cynical I know

When I said develop between the east and FF, I don’t think there’s a need or a demand for putting seats in but there’s certainly a demand for space to build in the area. Student accommodation would be my bet though.
As boring as it is, I can see why there’s not been much investment in the playing side, the value for your pound in the transfer market is so bad it really makes sense to invest in the infrastructure more if you can.

Big plan aside, I hope for some kind of obvious difference in terms of quality of players coming in.
Hibs are run as a pretty lean club, in terms of wastage on wages etc... There are probably half a dozen players who collect first team wages that most of us would like to see moving on, always with the hope that we can sign better. Three or four players away from being a pretty decent outfit, etc, sigh...
A few have asked the basic question as to why wee big Ron has bought Hibs at all. Not that great six months into his ownership.
Have to say announcements about East Mains won’t do it for me. We shouldn’t be writing off another season and Wee/big Ron needs to realise that another middling-underwhelming season will see fans stop buying season tickets.
The past five years have been good ones in the history of the club. We played some really entertaining football, won the cup, lost a final and reached a fair few semis. I want to see this as the start of a new era, one in which Hibs thrive, play in Europe, win more cups....is it so unrealistic to hope for this? Otherwise, what is the point.

I really think folk will be very disappointed if they expect him to invest in players.
He'll run Hibs like Farmer and Petrie did. Make the club sustainable, bring it forward, probably get some good sponsors. Nothing flashy.

Statement of intent to go after Celtic and Rangers with big signings. (although it would be better to do this in the summer)
Stadium renovation starting with FF stand including the the installation of a standing section in the lower tier, and eventually the South lower as well.
Better communication between the club and fans.
Restriction of OF allocations instead of restricting our own fans and blaming them for all the trouble at games.Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.

I think we shopped in a similar market than we did before and brought on similar numbers as before while losing out on players to rival clubs in the same league as us. I’m not a numbers man so I genuinely don’t know but I’d guess there wasn’t really any significant investment in the playing squad and we’re probably paying the same on the playing squad as we did last season.
If anything part of the significant investment would have been used to make up the difference from not having a sponsor this year.

They also don’t care if it’s opposite a graveyard.
