I’d put money on Bournemouth never winning a trophy in the next decade never mind a European one!

You’re probably right but they are certainly trending in the right direction. Over the previous 20 league matches only Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City have a better record. Key for them will be holding onto their better players and manager this summer or effectively replacing those that do leave.

Plus it's probably easier to get to the Europa conferrnce final than any of their domestic cups.

Which they've little to no chance of. It'll always be like that for Premier League teams like Bournemouth.

Why the big man should ***** all his money on Hibs!

Comments on infrastructure would leave me concerned regarding the future of Easter Road. Americans love a stadium on the outskirts of a city/town...

This is almost entirely due to the car culture in the US. The required space for thousands of cars at stadium venues can't generally be found in city centre areas.

Talks about Foley buying Standard Liege. It's been known he's been looking in Belgium, looks like this could be another club in the BK stable.

Dunno if that's good or bad for us.

Also wants a South American club

Bill Foley

“We’ll have a third European club that will maybe be a level below Ligue 1 and then we’ll take a look at South America and really start investigating that because that’s the feeder system. A Uruguayan club that can feed into a Belgian club, that can feed into a French club, that can feed into a Premier League club. We’re controlling our destiny.

Hope this Foley geezer is the real deal lol

Consistently in group stages of Europe. So a step above where we currently are. Whether that's good or bad is anyone’s guess.

Celtic and Rangers players if do well move to the Premier League. No reason they can’t move from us if we have our **** together.

I reckon they will see us as an acclimatisation for some players before they step up.

Also the euro cups access (bottom 6 FFS) is huge.

So we're going to be an even smaller cog in a big machine than we thought we were? Magic.

Still think their aim will be the same, to have all teams in their portfolio performing well. Aim will still be the best of the rest.

To do that they’ll need to put the right level of time, money and knowledge into us.

They were always looking at the Belgian league when they were looking to invest in Hibs. I'm sure there are interviews with Foley out there saying what his vision is.

We're a team in his portfolio - that's just landed on me.

I'll take your word. Makes the abuse HSL got even more unfair.

Speaking of which, it was all fever in here ahead of the AGM but almost silence about how this development is good for us.

[The Spaceman]

We are still owned and controlled by the Gordons. Like any business, if you can gain from economies of scale by being part of a bigger picture, you’ll start to clear your competition. I really, really don’t mind being a part of a large multinational network. We could get some really exciting and interesting players which would otherwise be unreachable. We are also getting significant investment to upgrade our infrastructure to make us a steady (upwards) ship with hopefully the world at our feet.

Mon Season 24/25+.

"Clear your competition " . Who is our competition here ? Presumably all other non Old Firm clubs who challenge us in league ? What does " clear" mean ? "World at our feet " ? We `re talking of Hibernian FC which is about to celebrate its 150th anniversary , not a chain of hamburger bars founded a few years ago .

Are there any interviews where Foley clearly states what his plans are for Hibernian FC ? Where he states our club will just become a small part of a group of clubs around the world for example ?

One of the first small clips I seen where he talked about Hibs , think this was before there was even much talk about Foley buying into Hibs, he mentions a Belgian team here

Did you think with £4-6m we'd be challenging for the league, top 4 minimum and regular European games and Cup finals will be the aim.
