The possibility of them being anything other than Hibs fans who have decided to use nominee accounts is pretty remote.

there is absolutely no evidence of that, one way or another unfortunately.

either way, our club’s history and flirtation with disaster a few decades ago means we should all be instinctively vigilant

I believe that all things in life can be explained through quotes from The Big Lebowski - cult classic film by the Coen brothers.

In this instance we have 3 (at least):

“This aggression will not stand man” - Fans have risen up against the Super League
“Thats what happens Larry” - the consequences of it all

And “The Chinaman is not the issue here dude”

The final quote means it’s all a red herring.

The real issue here is not club owners but the continued failure of football authorities to save football clubs from themselves. Football authorities have continually been asleep at the wheel
Focusing on “development of the game” whilst clubs are going to the wall despite the riches of money bestowed upon them by TV companies.

Sustainability should always be number one. Yet clearly no meaningful tests exists to show that clubs can last a season. Why is this?

This is not Nam. This is Scottish football. There are rules.

Look at this James Hunt, skullet and all. "Are the Manchester United fans just customers to you"? Great question.

When are they playing the Liverpool game or are they just going to award them 0-3 away win?

Don't know yet, nor of any punishment for the six break away clubs.

Why would you be expecting sanctions against them - what rules did they break?

And if so, what would any sanctions be? Would you not just be punishing the players and fans - neither of whom did anything wrong?

Or you could fine them - but how much money would you need to fine Man Utd or Man City to make it worthwhile? A billion pounds? Two billion pounds?

You mean in relation to the Super League? The twelve clubs did break the rules by signing a contract to establish a break away European competition without UEFA approval. That is against UEFA membership. As for fans being hurt, that happens for any sanctions e.g. points deductions for financial irregularities, which are also no fault of fans. I will be very surprised if something so serious - a secret conspiracy to destroy current competitions for their own enrichment - goes unpunished.

All that way for that.
Probably spent days trying to find him.
Then that.
Pointless.

They failed to provide protection to the players and officials. - assuming you mean for the protest at Old Trafford?

I can see a points deduction maybe?
