Aim Here Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) 49 minutes ago, Austin McCann said: Not sure why you're reposting this article. Hibs is owned by "The Hibernian Football Club Limited" which has a different name, isn't a PLC, and wasn't liquidated in 1991, since it has been in continuous existence since it's first filing at Companies House in 1903. "Edinburgh Hibernian PLC" was actually the company that was formed by fans to try to try to get ownership of Hibs and which raised a fair chunk of cash to buy Hibs, before Tom Farmer stepped in and put all the money up front in one go, giving the fans equivalent shares. If anything, this is more pertinent to Hearts' current ownership setup, showing that it's all too easy for one rich guy to just step in and wipe out all your fan ownership dreams in one go, if they have a mind to. I suspect that any predatory rich guys wanting to grab your club will wait until you're doing poorly first, of course. Hibs are already owned by rich dudes who can easily tell any potential suitors to f**k off. Hearts, on the other hand, are owned by fans who can easily be swayed in the right circumstances by someone with a big enough chequebook. Pretty much the same reason why building societies are incredibly thin on the ground these days. Edited June 28 by Aim Here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Like other clubs on P&B, Hearts have a mix of decent posters and arseholes. The only ones desperate enough for validation to post on our thread are the arsehole element, more to be pitied than scorned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zing. Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) Simon Murray linked with a return. Whenever I saw him last season he looked a much better player than when he was at Hibs before, wouldn’t be against it on a one year deal.

Tommy Tappin Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 MacKay clarifying recruitment in the EEN today. 1. Gaffer wants a player 2. Scouting finds him alternatives 3. Four person committee meets to discuss alternatives. Owner to fund it, CEO to do the contracts, Sporting Director to agree the deal, Gaffer to confirm that they want the player. 4. Sporting director then does deal with agent. That should hopefully clear some stuff up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
