Ticket office is a listed building I think, would Hibs be allowed to build over or around it and integrate it in to a new part of the stand, think the North to the East is where we start to fill in the corners for me.

Wonder if the police went into the Hibs dressing room and ask them to stop scoring
I seem to remember Cruikshank having a blinder of a second half for them

The Famous Five and East Mains will receive the majority of the cash injection to start.
If fans think we are getting millions to spend on a kitty for players then they will in for a big let down.
Majority of next seasons player budget will be dependant on who is shipped out and using the available freed up funds to sign better player who have played and knowledge in the Scottish game.

I'd take year on year improvement in a heartbeat.
In fact I think it is ludicrous to suggest that Hibs fans, generally, are short-termist or that 'We want it now.' Given what we perennially go through as a support I'd suggest we are remarkably patient and tolerant.
And if we ARE ever to be treated to the fantastical heights of gradual improvement it will need to start somewhere. I'd gently suggest that a manager coming in and making the team and squad he inherits better would be that beginning. Harder to beat, fitter on the pitch, smarter in attack, more cohesive as a team, better at closing down without possession, enjoyable to watch etc...most if not all of all the things that a decent manager should be looking to get from his existing squad, never mind the benefits of being able to sign the right new players.
Foley's model absolutely will work here providing the personnel in place are capable of actually delivering throughout the club on the back of the opportunity Foley brings.

Infrastructure was always going to be a priority, firstly, he’s done it before, notably building up his hockey team from nothing to champions, so I’d take that to mean he knows what he’s talking about, and secondly, if the group is going to lend us expensive, potentially future Premier League standard players, then they’re going to want them to be looked after in facilities that protect that investment, so not just training facilities, but medical, fitness, dressing rooms… I’d expect an investment in analysis, player analytics etc so their development can be properly tracked, monitored, or so we can better scout players and identify targets.
Turning up and blowing a couple million quid on a few random signings was never going to be the primary focus, that’s not investing in an asset that will benefit the wider group, and that’s the goal here.

And it’s on just now - not sure if it’s a shorter version but he talks a lot of sense

Year on year improvement seems good to be, beat whatever model we've been running the past many years.

Not a big let down at all (in my opinion) if that comes to pass.

Foley's model sounds just fine. The Kensall/Gordon model of spaffing money around to achieve inertia/managed decline is problematic though.

Looks like there’s a big foley interview in the lastest issue of the HQ magazine. Can this be purchased in a digital version?

I watched the Sky Sports piece last night, I know he's not going to be splashing mega bucks here but I also do think that he knows the model to follow to get success and that goes a long way.
I don't think Bournemouth are going to be a flash in the plan, I think they'll establish themselves as a strong mid-level Premiership team and that, for them, is success. Wouldn't surprise me to see them lift a European trophy in the next decade - Conference League, probably.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)
