Just speaking to him loosely about the football landscape, what’s going on and off the pitch, up and down the country, where and how - it’s clear he’s a football fanatic and others sports too.

Read the article about him, seems like he knows his stuff and could be a good guy to have helping Ron figure out what owning a football club means.

Sounds like he knows all about growing the size and scale too. Get the club out there a bit more.

I think RG's tenure of the club will in the future be judged by whether or not he took us to "The Next Level"...

I dont think so; he has too many other interests to commit the time required to Hibs.
