Still looking to sign players even though we’re discussing cuts with our current squad. Suppose it’s in line with what Aberdeen have done but that may not go down overly well.

[GonzoReturns]

But but but we are going bust!!

By the sounds of it, it’ll be made clear to the players that new faces are very much a possibility despite cuts

It’s the only way that clubs of our size can possibly do it.

But I thought we were going into admin? 😂😂😂

[Vault Boy]

Good interview, another part being uploaded later too. Hopefully settles some of the nerves.

[SteveHFC]

Good interview.

[JimBHibees]

Seems like a lot of common sense there imo.

[Blaster]

Wonder how the media will put a negative spin on this

'Cost cutting Hibs take vicious swipe at fans by releasing only HALF of owner's interview. Sources say second half is cut as cost saving measure.'

[Stuart93]

Our finances are in a very good position says Ron. That can’t be true, the daily record told us we were cash strapped. JKB were positive we were in admin

As painful as it may be for players to accept a wage cut it's better than being cut adrift and having to find a new club under the current circumstances.

There are a that would have no difficulty finding a deal elsewhere but I'd hope they would opt to stay.

He’s good at not giving much away, our Ron, but doing it in a way that is reassuring.

[GonzoReturns]

Have said it before but players and agents need to watch remember this squad managed to get us to 7th!!!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[RossScott1991]

Good reassuring interview.

Hahah, very good.

I'll admit that I have taken swipes at our club's transfer strategy before, but this is reassuring and I think by the season's start we should have kept up with our rivals.

I think its a fantastic interview, Ron speaks very well and I feel confident in the way our club is being run

[DaveF]

Nothing too revealing in that. Rightsize the business to face the crisis, stay competitive as best we can and so on.

Good to hear from RG though. Look forward to part II.

In total agreement.

We tend to be a club that quietly goes about its business in a prudent and sensible manner.

Shout when we have something to shout about.

The message was simply, we have to cut costs and we have to improve the team.

The other part I took from the interview was that we are looking to be in a position to react quickly when life returns to normal. Ron is a businessman and he will recognise the opportunity that a downturn often presents. Make the right plans and the club could be in a position to come out of the pandemic with a bright future.

I'd suggested on another thread (can't remember which) that the prudent thing to do just now would be to ride out the storm by cutting back rather than spending loads of money propping up the club just to stand still, so that when calmer times come we're in a position to quickly scale up and use the money that would have been taken on propping us up, to push on instead.

Looks like that's the approach we're taking.

If the Big Screen isn’t started by Christmas I won’t be back.

Excellent

Agreed. Proper businessman like Ron Gordon looking at the long game and not just the short term.

I agree with what RJG said .I await the second part to see if there are more details given by RJG in Hibs' football development journey

Thought it was a helpful update ..

Understand the approach of cutting back to focus only on the first team for now ..harsh for other elements, yet understandable...

Secondly, good to hear that they intend to look at ways of improving the first team in a revised cost model ..still got some aspirations..

[WhileTheChief..]

I like the way he comes across, very impressive in a calm and measured way.

He should do an interview on Sportsound
