Agree with this 100% and certainly wont be giving him any money by buying his book.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Him and Gray are the type of characters who if in their prime today would probably be peddling dodgy cryptocurrency.
A couple of total spivs as the late Ronnie Barker might have said .

Mercer had plans to buy the land known as the Lochend butterfly and the the stadium would have been part of this. Thus he would have owned the land from the stadium up to London Road. He was looking to make a considerable amount of money from the deal I am sure there were plans for housing retail and business park.

like a lot of you i lived through this awful time at Hibs. The uncertainty of it all was frightening to say the least.
Ive read Duffs account of things and my take on it is that he wants to be welcomed back as a hero?
He hadnt had an invite back to Easter Road in the last 30yrs. If he had wanted to watch a game he could have paid a the turnstiles like us all?
Granted he should be thanked for not selling his shares to Mercer but if he and Grey had not used the club money to pay for a grand lifestyle with cars and houses bought
and used by themselves and family and been involved in buying pubs and hotels with Hibs money we wouldnt have been in the state we were in when the takeover was announced.
If he gets invited now after Farmer has left he will give back jerseys presented to him as chairman of Hibernian FC??? Surely these jerseys where given in good will by the players to the club and should be at the club and not kept by him?
It looks like to me he wants to come back as this hero who didnt sell his shares and has for the past 30yrs disappeared in to the blue leaving Hibs to flounder because the two of them may have been crooks.
I was at the HOH rally at the ground and say grown men cry at the thought of their club dying on its feet because people wanted to live flash lives at the expense of the football club. I say Joe Baker kiss the turf and Pat Stanton point to the Dunbar end and saying Hibs will never die. Where were duff and grey that day.
I hope Ron Gordon gets the full story and does not fall for the pitch being made today. The Evening News Scoop is more like not being able to sell the story!

As if any Hibs fans gave any consideration at all to the potential rental costs of Meadowbank when our biggest rivals tried to wipe our name from Scottish football.

It'll all pale into insignificance when Hearts Hearts former owner Vladimir Romanov goes on trial in his absence in Lithuania.

As for Duff ... If the truth is that he was a crook, a chancer, a spiv, whatever term you want to use then surely the fact that he turned down the chance to walk away with £700,000 says something about the guy, yes maybe he was a fool and a fantasist who lead us to the brink of disaster ..... but he must have had some feeling for the club to go against what everybody seems to think was his nature in order to ultimately thwart Mercer, so in my book he deserves some credit for that.
Wherever Sheila Rowland is now I hope she had a happy life after leaving Hibs ..... absolutely unbelievable that only 30 years ago women weren't allowed into club boardrooms ... the 70s fair enough, we thought the black & white minstrel show was entertainment back then, but the 90s? that's incredible ... no bloody wonder football struggles so badly at times to project the image it should.
