It's a pretty big reason as to why I'll be stopping my HSL contribution.

Please tell me this isn't the extent of the "vision statement" we've been waiting on is it???
100 words approx on the club website?

We will see how ambitious RG is, by next weeks end of window, if JR is given money to spend or not

The club I would imagine won’t be too happy at the timing of the statement by HSL.

We've barely heard a cheep from the guy and now we get tossed a bun in the shape of a platitude-riven statement to quell the restless natives, or indeed to soften us up for another transfer window unheralded by any signings that has a whiff of ambition about them?

The quotes are to give context to the decision, not to set out a way forward.
I'm sure you mentioned that you had a degree in English iirc, but (no offence) you seem to really struggle with interpreting or at least contextualising some fairly basic statements.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

I was told when HSL held its vote that my contribution would go entirely how I wanted it to, which in my case was the playing budget.
After the result of the vote it became clear that all contributions would be split in accordance with the voting proportions, which makes sense from an administrative point of view but directly contradicted what I'd been told. So I cancelled my contribution and the playing budget only lost 65%. I wasn't happy about the other 35% being sat on until used to buy existing shares which provides no benefit to the club, unlike the HSL share purchases.
I'll restart if all the money is going into the playing budget.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I buy a ST. For that I expect to watch 90 minutes of football when Hibs are at home. There are obviously other perks but that's essentially it.
Likewise if I go to Tesco and buy a loaf of bread and a pint of milk I'd expect exactly that. However if someone was then standing at the end of the till every time I visited asking for a tenner to fund the 'food department' I'd have a few questions and expect a degree of control over how my money was spent.
Why is a football club any different? I've been an enthusiastic supporter of HSL, to the extent I was personally threatened on more than one occasion. However this just removes all accountability. Previously the money all went to the football department but it was in return for shares thus giving HSL contributors a voice through the acquisition of said shares. Now the club expects the same fans to continue to hand over money but they are removing that voice, the ability to hold those running the club to account and the ability to influence decision making. If people are happy with that then fine. I'm not.

The underlying problem is fan ownership for a club that doesn't have international following or the threat of oblivion hanging over them, is a pipe dream.

OK, I suppose with people desperate to hear RG's plans for the club.
I'm not convinced he really has any but happy to be proven wrong.

HSL was probably waiting for the Masterplan to be released by now though, at least they are being true to the investors.

Short of whitholding our money by not attending games, which a hardcore (including myself) will never do, there is little we can do to influence how the current or future custodians of the club run the business.
