is petrie a master stroker?

[jimmyhibs]

i have to admit, i haven't been his greatest fan. a few of his moves in the past left me striking him off my christmas list. but credit where it's due. the guy doesn't get fcuked about. period. love him or loathe him, you have to admit, he's doing a better job than other chairmen in the game.

Agreed.

And I was justing thinking when my new Hibs Shop 'manual' dropped through the letterbox the other day that the club is being run better and better commercially all the time

1. Fans are primarily interested in football and what happens on the park.

2. Petrie, first and foremost, is a hard nosed businessman. This is why fans didn't take to him at first, "He's not a football fan", etc.......However, as we are all aware,more and more football is a business. It's a f*cking shark pool out there and I for one am especially grateful to have a chairman who takes no shit from parasites like McKay. He makes sure that we are on a sound financial footing and he lets the manager and his staff get on with the football.

I think that in the coming months, the fans will see that Rod Petrie's business sense is just as important to the club as any of the guys who pull on a shirt on a Saturday.

We've got Rod!(Rod!)
Always believe in Rod Petrie !
He's got the power to hold,
Thomson to his contract......
Always believe in.......

I'm Looking forward to the 1st round when RP meets that Dick mackay.

This will depend when RP has time, hopefully in May 07. Rod is doing a great job managing the buisness side of things, letting JC get on with football side.

We will see what RP is all about come this transfer window, IMO he will shine through and do the best for HFC.

Well done Rodders, and tell ALL to GTF especially the bigoted brothers as they think they can just come calling and get whet they want.

CHANGED DAYS UNDER RP

[Johnny Vegas]

he may not be the best chairman around but he's very far from being the worst


we all know who that is

I agree with you mate.

I have never been a Petrie fan especially some of the ways hes treated our club in the past, but its all turned out to be good, and its a day to be proud of being a Hibee, i am now starting to think Petrie for once your doing something right and are getting the praise from the fans 'for now'.

In what respect?

[Greenmachine]

I think Rod Petrie is doing a very good job as chairman and managing Director of our club. With regard to this Thomson/Brown nonsense, I very much hope that he does not meet Willie McKay, but instead issues a statement that Hibs will not consider any offer for either of them in January. We can look at the contracts situation regarding these two again at the end of the season. Whether he does this or not, I trust that he will do whats best for Hibernian FC as a whole, and not any individual players.

I have disagreed with some of the things he has done in the past, but there is no doubt the club is in a very good position off the field compared to what it was 3 or 4 years ago. I still think there is long term objective though to reduce the debt to virtually nothing in order to attract another buyer for the club in the future.

I used to think that Petrie never gave enough funds to the manager (this could of been because the manager was shite), and i know we where maybe on a budget but we never seemed to spend enough because Petrie never gave out the money..., also he appointed Blobby and Sauzee i felt which was two huge mistakes at the time, ok Sauzee was our hero but he was never going to cut it as a manager as not many former top class players do.

But at this moment and time its good to be a Hibee and i am actually having a we bit of respect for Petrie for just now.

petrie is first and foremostly a hard business man, but because of this we must be one of the most financially stable teams in scotland

He has done well getting the debt under control but i feel the wages Hibs pay are stiffling any chance of sustained success.
