Will It Start to Sink In Now?
Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Thousands of them will turn up to a game one day and there won't be a club to support anymore, even then I'd still say it won't sink in.
There's an "I love Vladimir Romanov" thread over on sickbag, it's beyond belief the content of it, way way way beyond belief.

Regardless of how much they reduce the wage bill it isn't going to solve the problem of the 36m debt owed by HoMFC to UBIG. It doesn't matter how many pies and programmes they sell between now and the end of the millenium, they'll never pay that off. Mad Vlad is clearly not going to walk away until he gets the 50m he's valued the club at or more likely the JCB's will be unleashed on the PBS and the land sold.
Judging by the fact Foulkes and co are finding it impossible to negotiate with him, he's doing his best to destroy anyone's prospects of keeping Hearts a going concern. If he doesn't get what he deems a fair price, then it's going to be a Lidl supermarket at *********** and jumpers for goalposts at Saughton Park.
Does anyone have a login for Keekback so I can use to hae a spy?

Makes no difference what happens, they will come out of this smelling like roses as they always do, no fight, no backbone but the good old Edinburgh district council will be waiting in the wings with wads of cash to help...mark my words.

I think they will need several multi-millionares to seize control of the club from Mr Romanov. They might also get an easy ride from CEC with regard to planning permission for their new home, if it's to be sited in Edinburgh, they will not receive any handouts. I think they are in for a few nasty surprises before it's all played out.

We'd just like to see them weakened enough to swallow the bitter pill of their impropriety

It took years to find a buyer - and a dodgy one at that.
If there people out there Daft enough to throw their money away on Hearts, it would have happened seven years ago.
It just will not happen.

So you know that someone has contacted a multi millionaire. (desperate folk do that all the time).
Who told you a "multi millionaire had been contacted?
What was the multi millionaire's response?
Why the secrecy?

There is absolutely no one willing to pay near £100mil on a pile of smelly stuff! And, these millionaires ... would be better buying Hibs for a fraction of the cost and making money by financing us!

There's little doubt the good old city of Edinburgh council will do all it can to preserve this sham of a club but as for a white knight/knights riding to the rescue wi' cheque book in hand, I doubt it.
As the old saying goes: He who sups wi' the Devil should use a long spoon. Only snag for them is their entire canteen of cutlery has probably been sold.

Look, don't get me wrong, I'm the first one to enjoy the Jambos demise.
Their policy of outbidding others for players they can't afford to pay has been cheating - buying results they can't afford.
But am I the only one who looks at this thread title <Will it start to sink in now>
on a day when we are being widely touted (on national radio too) to be pumped out the cup by a 2nd div team
<for the second season in a row>
and as we endure the second January transfer window in a row looking to the transfer window for life support
…and I can't help but think the title could equally apply to our board and our fans?
I'm all for teams occasionally being taught a lesson (Ayr Utd, Ross County) IF the lessons are learned. But I can't see where they have been.
Will we be in the same boat next January???? And will I let it sink in then????

I have no doubt there will be a few folk wanting to take on Hearts but whether or not the neccessary set of circumstances combine to allow them to continue in their present form, more or less, and at Tynecastle remains to be seen.
Some of Scotlands wealthiest men are involved in football clubs but NONE of them have managed to make any money out of them, on the contrary. Recently the SPL has cost guys of the calibre of John Boyle, Calum Melville, David Murray, Tom Farmer and Stewart Milne a lot of money. You could add the late Eddie Thomson of Dundee United to the list.
Someone having a lot of money is one thing, being prepared to lose a substantial amount of it on a football club takes a different beast entirely.Last edited by Kaiser1962; 07-01-2012 at 08:10 AM.

What they would need to find is a very very wealthy jambo and I fairly sure that if such a beast existed we'd all know who he, they, was, were.
Anyone with a wish only to buy a Scottish club would probably go for any club ahead of them, with Hibs at the top of their wish list.
anyone wanting just to buy a football club would probably go for a Championship club, might even sneak a wee EPL club.
All these options are cheaper than taking on them with a probability of quicker success for the pounds pumped in.
Folk who have made the necessary millions are typically sensible and didn't make their millions by throwing their money around willy Willy. I can't see any sensible person seeing them as anything other than a huge money pit.Space to let
