greyman Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 24% remaining with stf. No mention of petrie who would need to sell his 10%?. This is never going to happen. They have liberally used the word 'but' on everything they've written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Fan ownership only works short term . Just look at Motherwell having to off load their best players every season . And struggling to survive every year Fans club ownership never works long term !!! Do you ever say something that isn't total pish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Like others I'm nervous about the idea of the fans at large buying and running the club. And even more nervous about the idea of the fans at large buying it and the Paul Kane collective running it. And that's assuming the idea could ever work. Ok Hearts did it but they were in admin with a friendly receiver looking for a buyer; facing liquidation - which energised the thoughts and loosened the purse-strings of the fans; have got down to no notable debt as a result; and still needed Mrs Budge's millions. And the club, completed stadium and training centre must have a substantial inherent value, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_p Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 There is no way this will raise enough funds. The land values of these assets alone will be many millions of pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Just a story to keep a potential sale of the club to a creditable buyer in the news imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I wouldn't go as far as those saying fan ownership can't work. Of course it can. Perhaps not if you're some club that literally can't survive without a benefactor putting money in constantly but that doesn't apply to Hibs at all, Farmer isn't putting cash in. As long as the club itself remains sustainable, there'd be nothing wrong with supporters owning it (although there's big question marks about how they'd get control of the club). I'm just not really sure what the point of being £20/£30/£50 lighter each month would be, to effectively have the club equally well off. They complain about Farmer not investing but the DD scheme would just be going to him, or whoever's fronted the buyout, surely? Where's the investment there?

Neiljb Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I can't see this taking off without a start up cash pot of at least 4 million. Get that together and who knows. It is a very sticky situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the investment there? thing is hibs is not sustainable in it's current form. You owe millions and are losing hundreds of thousands (millions?) each year except when you had a purple patch of sale-able assets which you no longer have. Your crowds are dropping and, if you don't get promotion this year, will plummet next season IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
