Last updated : 13 June 2014 By Steve Forbes

Former Hibs midfielder and front man for the "Petrie Out" campaign Paul Kane has revealed that he has met with club owner Sir Tom Farmer.

Kane took along supporters Ian Blackford, MD of investor relations consultants First Sheer, and George Moor - a retired criminal lawyer.

Kane, who was surprised to see Rod Petrie at the meeting said:

"I'd asked for this meeting with Sir Tom Farmer and took Ian and George along to put forward two proposals for the future of our club.

"It was important to open dialogue directly with the club owner and majority shareholder.

"I was very surprised Rod Petrie was present, especially after his disclaimer last week. Rod Petrie had told me then he was not involved in the running of Hibs any more since Leeann Dempster's appointment and now had a purely non-executive role.

"We discussed the two proposals and I will now submit a document outlining them in detail.

"At this stage, I will respect Sir Tom Farmer's request for confidentiality but hope to bring the fans up to date at the soonest possible opportunity.

"I also made it clear to Sir Tom the Petrie Out campaign continues."
