Judy Murray Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 3 hours ago, Galajambo said: Exactly mate, but you can't tell Hibs fans this because apparently they know better. I find it a little concerning (and funny) that the figure involved was £6M, exactly the figure that Ron Gordon bought the club for in 2019, he's done feck all with them apart from upgrade their hospitality suites (to a high standard I may add), which basically means that the Gordon family have their initial investment back in their pockets, and still own circa 60% of the club, things aren't adding up here and I reckon Gordon junior is saddled with a project he doesn't really want, but feels obligated to continue his fathers work (who came across as a good man I have to say, with good intentions). Hibs fans probably know better because they are aware of the details of the deal, which involved the Gordon’s swapping debt for equity in addition to the BK investment. Their initial investment isn’t “back in their pockets”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their initial investment isn’t “back in their pockets”. Always good for fans to see a reduction in debt owed to owners. Obviously this will also have had the effect of increasing the amount that the Black Knights could invest while keeping within the maximum percentage of shares that they are allowed to hold. I take the point made by others that Bournemouth might make good money out of players developed at Hibs. However, a parent club can always make money by selling a player who has been on loan. It feels to me like this is probably a good deal for Hibs, and it's too early to tell if it's a good deal for the Black Knights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed that for you mate, we thought the same under Vlad too, you're forgetting we've already been part of a pyramid system and promised the Earth, we've seen what can happen when things go tits up very quickly (so have Hibs fans if you're old enough).

To be fair, we played our weakest team in the second half, and both sides did a reasonable job. Add in a Ryan Porteous nostalgiathon, and that rarest of all sights, a Harry McKirdy goal, and a seagull pie-fight and it was a reasonable dose of fitba'-themed entertainment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd start McKirdy over Vente at the minute tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Genuinely felt sorry for Gray having to field questions about Foley's comments after that friendly last night. Being a manager at a club that have struggled like Hibs have the last few season is difficult enough for people coming into it without having someone like Foley casting doubt on his appointment. Even if it's not Foley's intent, it leads to awkward situations for Gray like that interview. He's a couple of months into the job without having played a league game yet and he's having to address whether he has the backing of guys above him. Not ideal at all for a rookie and it's not particularly fair for a guy who's given so much to your club. He's already under pressure externally to show he can handle the job without it coming from the BK group too. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board on the other hand can go f**k theirselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
