Kano, he was a decent player for us, Aberdeen and St Johnstone among others. He now runs a decent pub, with others. Why anyone would confide in him on business matters is beyond me.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

We have not won a major trophy since Ron arrived, and I think it's time he told us why.

First thing he did was to jet into Edinburgh, host a fake presser with STF then headed down the pub to drown his sorrows. Here he was telling anyone that would listen, including the owner of the pub, that he was just here to get his money back and as soon as he had he’d be gone for good.
It’s a strange tale indeed and we’ve yet to hear the full story...allegedly this will all come out at the AGM. But because his lawyers are now involved the AGM has been delayed repeatedly with recent rumours now suggesting it will need to be after the slamming of a window before it can happen.

This is a belter of a Hibs.net straw man argument.
Literally no one: ‘My ambition is 6th place.’
We are Hibs: ‘God help us. Everyone is laughing at us for something that no one said.’

You know fine well that straw man arguments are beloved by the ravers and fantasists of Hibs.net
What is to become of them if they have to post balanced and reality based comments?
As you can see above WEH has already stated that he can't be arsed.Last edited by CMurdoch; 17-01-2020 at 12:39 AM.

He made a profit on his investment and left them in a far, far better place.
If RG did similar with Hibs there would be zero complaints from me.
I struggle with the notion that having no direction and a lump of debt is better, either football or business-wise - and as the two men you mention above are both businessmen, I am sure they would agree

Paul Kane once again getting it tight on the back of one line from an anonymous poster which may or may not have any truth in it.
From what I recall it doesn’t seem to far away from the truth to suggest that RG will want to increase the value of the club and then sell it on for a profit. That’s surely his end game and I can quite believe that RG met with a few of the higher profile Hibs supporters, Willie McEwan and Kano probably being two of them. Makes complete business sense.

I’m not sure why meeting Kano would make great business sense? And I’ve no idea who the McEwan guy is. So again I don’t understand the relevance to building a business.

I think, like Kano, he had a wee falling out with the club (though I could be wrong).

Great thing is 500k extra for the overall budget ..
Stf said before he left the books for the last year will be very good indicating a large cash surplus so I guess that why there is interest

Maybe take a wee step back yourself?
I’m all up for robust discussion and disagreements, but keep it friendly eh?

Maybe Ron Gordon was speaking to Paul Kane as the chair, or whatever he is, of the Former Players Association. There's a lot of goodwill from the support towards former players so it makes sense.
Chatting with a former sponsor maybe finding out why he's a former sponsor and encouraging him to renew his sponsorship. Again it makes sense.Space to let

It would make no sense whatsoever for Ron to say to Kano and Wille (as a potential sponsor) that his only plan was to sell the club at a profit.

It would be ideal if somebody independent (from me!) asked PK and/or WMcE as to the content of their exact conversation, they are 2 very loyal and vocal supporters with the clubs best interests at heart.

Something along the lines of increasing the value of Hibs and therefore the value of his shareholding. That's making a profit that benefits him and the club.Space to let

I'd imagine he plans to do quite a lot of different things with the club before then.
