[Valencia]

Have the accounts for the last financial year been issued. I have the accounts to 2nd July 2019 but not to end of June 2020.

The Club?

Not yet. Will probably be a while. They don't have to be lodged until the summer.

I don’t feel jittery. I have confidence that Ron Gordon is a decent guy, and therefore there is no reason for concern. By all accounts his investment in Hibs is secure and he’s not trying to leverage it into some high risk venture that could imperil the club.

Why would I be jittery? We have an owner who has invested in our club, is guiding us through the most difficult financial situations in decades. The chances are we will be even stronger going forward

Jittery in as much as a lot of the narrative in these recent posts takes me back to a time when the front pages were getting read before the back pages. Bad memories, for me anyway, you guys less so obviously.

The uptake simply wasn’t quick enough to reach that 25% threshold for a board member to represent HSL. Then Ron bought into the club and paused the share purchase scheme, which he was entitled to do.

I bet Ron would like to know who owns the 10% too and would probably buy those shares if he could. As none of us know who it is, let’s assume for now it is a benign factor - perhaps just a very wealthy Hibs fan who doesn’t want to run the club but wanted to ensure it is protected from predators.

Maybe I’m wrong but I didn’t think the 10% was a single nominee holding. I had assume it was a sign it number of different nominee holdings that made up the 10% ergo a variety of individuals not just one person....

It's not.

Thought as much. Thanks.

Just to show the potential with this kind of thing, over 2000 Hearts fans bought tickets for Inverness this week. Not even their own club.


I’m sure the tickets weren’t close to £25, but still shows what can be achieved if receive gets behind something.

That’s due to them having some massive chip on their shoulder about the rest of the league, and ICT backing them both in the summer and in 2013 when they were about to go under. Shameless.

I know, but it shows what can be achieved. (I think the tickets were a fiver or a tenner for one signed by John Roberson, so not exactly comparable to HS’s campaign).

What point are you trying to make? I couldn't care less what they are up to.

Showing that there is potential in this kind of idea if everyone gets behind it.

We all saw the potential with the semi final campaign.

I'm not sure what you have achieved by pointing out 2000 pricks with massive chips on their shoulder?

Doesn’t matter the reason but if there’s a common narrative that chimes with supporters they will buy in. (just so happens they buy in to a sense of injustice & spite 😉)

[Wheat Hound]

A renewed campaign that would help in funding a contract for Jackson Irvine (and others) would incentivise I'm sure!

[DanishJohn]

Good good point Matty.

I get your post. It's about the power of the collective. Shows what can be harnessed by a group acting as one.
HSL have done a brilliant job in getting some funds into the club and without doubt it's showing in the calibre of player we now have on the park.

For anyone saying they are not interested in what Hearts are doing I would urge them to look at it very very carefully.
If they manage to really get their act together, then all the money that they receive from fans might come back to haunt us big time.
I have lived through us dominating them mid 60s to early 80s but also lived through 22 games in a row when we couldn't beat them and two Hampden Hidings.
Not nice.

Lets get the 4000 great Hibernians to 6000 and then 8000 !

Good post Danish John, what you have said was in the back of my mind when I was maybe the first person a few days ago to stick my head above the parapet and say I was a little disappointed with the total we raised in the campaign.

I hate praising them, but it’s an undeniable fact that if they ever get someone competent to run the club, they will sadly have much more spend on players than we do (and that’s without the sugar daddy’s cash) in the long run.

[Gerard]

The more money our club gets the more ability it will have to sign better players. Our neighbours continue to show they are able to raise a lot of money through their foundation to support their club in signing players

They’re going to be fan owned, nothing to worry about!

This is true, could be a highly amusing sh**storm, if Annie ever let’s them get the reigns, which she probably quite sensibly seems reluctant to do.

A perfect example of what can be achieved with all that money we keep hearing about, when the single tier, horrendously over budget, overdue stand is finally finished they'll be unstoppable.

They might even avoid relegation this time around.

I agree they are so used to shelling out money it comes naturally hence Budge taps the well at the drop of a hat
With us a big effort gets a certain amount of return but we haven’t yet found a way to tap into the wider support
But onwards and upwards
