The interest comes as the Scottish FA looks at relaxing the rule that bans an organisation or individual having a controlling stake in two clubs at the same time. BBC Scotland understands Mr Foley's Black Knight's sport and entertainment consortium is interested in referring players in and out of Hibs to other teams under its control, but would not be involved in the management of the club.
