I bet he wishes he'd never bought us now.
His plans for the club that were revealed at the agm have been scuppered at the first hurdle, not just us but every club worldwide will feel the pinch, some more than others.
We start off in a better place than most in Scotland, but these are worrying times financially for us all.
I wonder what the future holds?

With no games for a month or so at least I fully expect the screen and ribbons to be installed within the next couple of weeks.
If not then Petrie out.

I presume he bought Hibs for the long term.
Contrary to popular opinion, it's not actually the end of the world.

Just to put this in context, approx 4600 deaths have been attributed to the virus out of a world population of 7.8 billion.
Regular influenza will still kill more people worldwide.

The biggest potential problem for Hibs is what security has been granted further down the chain of ownership over Ron Gordon’s assets in the event of one of his businesses going under.
There’s going to be a large number of companies going bankrupt because of this situation. It’s the worst global economic catastrophe in 80 years. I don’t think people fully realise this yet.

The WHO have said the case fatality rate of known cases is 3.4% but that is on the basis of confirmed cases. It would only be as high as that if literally every single person who has this has been diagnosed which is obviously impossible. There will be lots of people who either don't have symptoms or have such mild symptoms they are not tested.

Getting a clear picture is also not helped by countries like Iran suppressing what apparently is becoming a very serious situation.

I have asked myself the same question many times if Ron Gordon ever regrets taking over HIBS?
I have no doubt whatsoever he is a good egg and is in it for the long haul he has HIBS best interests at heart we will get through this and I am convinced we will come out the other end just fine and hopefully stronger than before
Strap yourselves in it is going to be a bumpy ride

So long as season starts on time next August then Hibs won’t be hit that badly.

Governments around the world don't seem to be treating as per your example do they? IF it was less of a killer than the flu then why are countries on lock down, virtually all sports suspended etc, there is no precedent but it appears that this virus COULD well result in millions of deaths.

3.5% death rate in China. That's because they built hospitals with 500 respirators in a few weeks.
Italy is 7%. They don't have as many respirators, nor the resources to build them.
The reason they're trying so hard, to contain the spread, is that once all the ventilators and ECMO machines (for really bad cases) are taken, the death rate sky rockets.

Let’s hope/pray people like Ron Gordon, Sir Tom and Rod Petrie all stay fit and healthy along with our loved ones/most vulnerable.

Just so long as this doesn't turn into a long term situation, for example into December, we should be fine. All of the projects announced at the AGM like big screens, ribbons round the pitch and even an indoor training facility can all take a back seat if the money set aside for them turns out to be needed to finance the club on a day to day basis ..... unless of course we are already committed to purchasing the screen and ribbons, which at this stage is eminently possible I suppose.
I doubt RG will be panicking just yet, annoyance at his plans being hampered somewhat notwithstanding of course. As for other clubs, I'm willing to bet a lot of them wish they were in our position financially.

will experience a mild to bad cold...10% a wee bit more ill but are survivors. ...The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits
The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game
