I can't decide which line is funnier, the recent 'we are self sufficient' patter, or 'the best youngsters in the country, maybe Britain!' Hilarity. Never mind the begging bowls and their band of kids being humped at every level by ours a week or so ago... Anyway, I digress.


Last nights 'talk' about Hearts, featuring a sports journo (who was at least the most realistic of the three), a no mark MP and a footballer. Where was the much needed finance expert? Not one question on the frozen assets or the security.

More to the point, where was the questions for the MP? Is his desire to have a company happily skip out on its tax debts an acceptable position for an MP to take? Or indeed the debt it owes to another nation? When Iceland's banks collapsed the last labour government used anti terror laws to rip as much money back as possible, yet Mr Murray seems quite keen for the people of Lithuania to get hit in the pocket?

Finally, no questioning about the validity of pledges or the likelihood of raising money, no grilling on the amount needed... As usual, an easy ride with no questions to rock the boat.

Had a right good laugh when Murray goes 'we have had so many pledges recently that our website went down'.

That was the night I, and probably loads of other hibbys were signing up loads of fake pledgers!!!

The problem is that football journalism in this country is a sham. Sports editors and football writers ( especially TV and the tabloids ) are more concerned about losing readers or viewers than actually telling the truth and grilling the people in question. So they pander to fans of the clubs ( Hearts and previously SevCo ) so they dont upset their fanbase. That`s how it appears to me anyway.

Sorry guys, seems the show is over.

They've got Andy Webster as a "prized asset" although his contract has expired and he hasn't re-signed?

[21.05.2016]

Where's the protests outside tynie from fans demanding answers.?

Exactly. Think back to 1990. When news broke of Mercer planning to take over the club, people were rallying at Easter Road protesting and demanding answers. The fans rallied together and fought tooth and nail to save the club. Hearts fans have done very very little as many of them are still living in the fantasy world Vlad created for them. Pathetic excuse of a club. They have no sympathy from me, their delusion and arrogance that they are such a super power club has led to their downfall, instead of taking action years ago like they should have they just continued to swallow every lie like the deluded, guilable morons they are.

Sad thing is, that desipite everything thats going on, many of them still have their heads in the sand and believe everything is brilliant. Unbelievable.

"7-0 was always just a single freak result to me. It was not a record and as that belonged to us, along with total superiority and domination of the fixture in my lifetime, I never gave a crap. To be honest, pumping them in the 06 semi killed them off for good, the 5-1 final was just hilarious entertainment."

Coming from someone who's club is in the football hospice on maximum morphine with the family at the bedside, that one's a beauty.

Maybe it's just having difficulty coping with the concept of death.

[JimBHibees]

A quote from Frazer Mason on the STV article.

“The Hearts supporters are one of the best in the country – for me they are the best. They are loyal and I’m not saying we’re all rich but we’ll rally round together and make sure it’s there.

“It’s like what Real Madrid do and big clubs like that where every supporter gives £10 a month or so. I would do that no problem.

HAHAHA!!! Boy is tuned to the moon.

Lets get this clear once and for all, Hearts have NEVER been and NEVER WILL BE a big team. There are only two genuinely big teams in Scotland and we all know where they reside. They have had and continue to have a larger fanbase than us with the difference largely dependent on current form and anywhere between 2-5k. For cup semi and finals both clubs take similar supports and both will sell out for finals. We are in many ways very similar in terms of records (pre-Vlad) and supports over the years. They are now about to pay for the financial doping of the Vlad era and if there is a justice it should be a long and painful process for them as they have been cheating every other SPL club.

I know how this type of post come across so I'll state beforehand I understand any skepticism. It's not all new info but still.

I've just had a lengthy chat with someone who works at Hearts (I work in media, behind the scenes so have a few contacts and friends in football) I won't say who, for obvious reasons, but they are definitely someone who is "in the know". Anyway, here's a few of the interesting bits.

Hearts are really struggling and not just financially. Morale is rock bottom amongst non-playing staff and they are pretty much just going through the motions now.

It's incredibly unlikely they'll make the start of the season, they need to sell a few thousand more season tickets just to reach what they previously thought was their worst case scenario.

Money "never stays in one place long". It's literally been spent as soon as it's getting recieved just now.

It's all about saving the club now, hence the selling of players. If that means having a horrible season because the best players have gone then so be it.

The SPL have thus far been "very unhelpful". I got the impression Hearts expected help akin to Rangers and Gretna. They asked for an advance on TV money. The SPL said this isn't possible as if Hearts spend it and still don't make the start of the season then thats less money for their replacement. Rangers had commercial clout that Hearts just simply do not have. "The SPL is surviving better than expected without Rangers, losing Hearts is not overly concerning"

The SPL are "like flies round poo". They've got a lawyer on retainer in Lithuania to give them advice on UBIG and Ukio. They are asking difficult questions of Hearts. "Wouldn't be surprised if Hearts are made an example of"

FOH is just PR, the club doesn't think they'll actually be able to get an acceptable bid together but they are letting them go through the motions because it doesn't want to be seen to be against the option because they aren't, its just realistically not going to happen.

The club is only aware of the "Scandinavian Bid" through the media, they know nothing about them and have had no contact as of this morning. "A lot of work is needed for any bid and time is not on anyones side.

Overall the outlook for them is incredibly bleak. "It's a massive uphill battle" and "the club is on life support". Avoiding administration is unlikely without several bits of good fortune. Believes if they do go into admin then more bidders will step forward. "The web of debt" and the shareholding and Tynecastle are huge causes for concern. Even if they do avoid it "it'll be quite sometime before success is expected " but whatever happens there are people who will "be working to the bitter end"

I'm sure there are some bits I've forgotten. The overall mood was one of dejection and grief. Some of them really love the club and believe in it. They want to shed this "cheats and criminals" moniker and just get a fresh start. I asked why they were so open with me but not someone who could go public on a larger scale and they said "The media doesn't want to be responsible for killing a club, STV are the only bee in Hearts bonnet" I said "What about Barry Anderson" they said "Polite enough but denser than a slab of lead" and "He's a reporter, will never be a journalist.

doesn't surprise me in the slightest how they have reacted to all the carry on thats happened over the last few years tbh mate. Vlad has created this huge fantasy world where they believe they are a huge massive club and they are going to get world cup stars/huge stadium/SPL titles/challenging in Europe etc etc. The mutants have for years, and many continue to do so, hung on his every word so instead of waking up and seeing the grim reality, they go merrily along with this ridiculous delusion. I hope reality hits them painfully in the face.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night


There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?


This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in


Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour


This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusion


For the young Uns wot missed the genius of Spitting Image...

I know how this type of post come across so I'll state beforehand I understand any skepticism. It's not all new info but still.

I've just had a lengthy chat with someone who works at Hearts (I work in media, behind the scenes so have a few contacts and friends in football) I won't say who, for obvious reasons, but they are definitely someone who is "in the know". Anyway, here's a few of the interesting bits.

Hearts are really struggling and not just financially. Morale is rock bottom amongst non-playing staff and they are pretty much just going through the motions now.

It's incredibly unlikely they'll make the start of the season, they need to sell a few thousand more season tickets just to reach what they previously thought was their worst case scenario.

Money "never stays in one place long". It's literally been spent as soon as it's getting recieved just now.

It's all about saving the club now, hence the selling of players. If that means having a horrible season because the best players have gone then so be it.

The SPL have thus far been "very unhelpful". I got the impression Hearts expected help akin to Rangers and Gretna. They asked for an advance on TV money. The SPL said this isn't possible as if Hearts spend it and still don't make the start of the season then thats less money for their replacement. Rangers had commercial clout that Hearts just simply do not have. "The SPL is surviving better than expected without Rangers, losing Hearts is not overly concerning"

The SPL are "like flies round poo". They've got a lawyer on retainer in Lithuania to give them advice on UBIG and Ukio. They are asking difficult questions of Hearts. "Wouldn't be surprised if Hearts are made an example of"

FOH is just PR, the club doesn't think they'll actually be able to get an acceptable bid together but they are letting them go through the motions because it doesn't want to be seen to be against the option because they aren't, its just realistically not going to happen.

The club is only aware of the "Scandinavian Bid" through the media, they know nothing about them and have had no contact as of this morning. "A lot of work is needed for any bid and time is not on anyones side.

Overall the outlook for them is incredibly bleak. "It's a massive uphill battle" and "the club is on life support". Avoiding administration is unlikely without several bits of good fortune. Believes if they do go into admin then more bidders will step forward. "The web of debt" and the shareholding and Tynecastle are huge causes for concern. Even if they do avoid it "it'll be quite sometime before success is expected " but whatever happens there are people who will "be working to the bitter end"

I'm sure there are some bits I've forgotten. The overall mood was one of dejection and grief. Some of them really love the club and believe in it. They want to shed this "cheats and criminals" moniker and just get a fresh start. I asked why they were so open with me but not someone who could go public on a larger scale and they said "The media doesn't want to be responsible for killing a club, STV are the only bee in Hearts bonnet" I said "What about Barry Anderson" they said "Polite enough but denser than a slab of lead" and "He's a reporter, will never be a journalist.


Anyway there you have it.

If only this could go public .... They would be jumping off bridges :-)

[The Green Goblin]

That's what they did with oldco Huns... told the (better) players to sit tight until the summer, when they pocketed tasty signing on fees from clubs in lieu of transfer fees that they didn't have to pay to acquire them.

If that is their plan, I think I can see a teeny tiny flaw in it.

I'll give you a clue- it's to do with the words "better players". :greengrin

We delivered the most humiliating result in their history on 19/05/12 that was effectively paid for by the UK Tax Payer. Until we pay HMRC in full this cheating allegation will continue to be thrown at us. After all, many of you took that stance towards Rangers a year ago so will understand perfectly.

They just dont get it do they - this isnt just about the money they owe Hector - this is about years and years of paying players they couldnt afford - with money they didnt have - financial crimes, sex offenders in their team and their support, claiming they were going sign world cup stars, win the league, the champions league, challenge the Old firm, Hibs are an irrelevance, they killed Hibs etc etc etc etc

[matty_f]

Apologies for the new thread, just wondered what folks' thoughts were on the Yams' survival options. Here's my take:

I genuinely don't see a way out for them. The Scandinavian bid is unlikely to go anywhere, IMHO. Who would spend £10m on a club worth a fraction of that? That's just the starter, they'd need funds to run it as well and they'd never see a return on it. Joke bid, IMHO.

The FoH... deary me. If they're using the pledges to raise the money to buy the club, then my guess is that they're using the pledges as evidence of an ability to repay a significant loan (and it will be significant, talking at least £4-5m IMHO. I also think that the administrators in Lithuania will only sell if the new owners are going to repay the debt. So right from the off, they're in no better state than they are now, as they'll be burdened with debt with minimal new income from season tickets etc to see out the season. They still may not have taken the security back on the PBS either as I doubt an administrator is going to say cheerio to that on the premise of pledges to the club.

They don't have the ability to make it to the end of the season, even if they do crawl through to the start of this one. You can see how quickly they are losing money, and they still have more to go. If they're not making wages or tax payments, what else is getting missed?

Their fans have consistently been lied to about funds - first the share issue was supposed to be for youth development etc, when not a penny of that money went to the stated cause. Then, they made noises about all sorts of signings, none of which have actually materialised yet - including Wilson.

The AGM was a farce, with big Rodney the plonker getting voted back onto the board as a two finger salute to the fans that hate him.

Now, they're out with the begging bowl again saying that they'll be ok if they can get to the start of the season, which is clearly bollocks.

They've put every player up for sale in a hope to raise the cash needed, but realistically nobody in that team is going to command a decent transfer fee, especially when there's a very good chance that the players can be picked up for nothing if they go into admin.

It is very hard to see a way out for them at all, no matter which option you look at.


Pleasing, as they say.

Think of the income and trophies they've cost us in 2006 and 2012. No one's suffered to a greater extent than us from their delusions of grandeur.

Isn't today payday at the PBS? The 16th falls on Sunday.

Exactly. Their delusion and arrogance over the past few years has been unbelievable. Vlad has ploughed millions and millions into the club yet where are their world cup stars? or their multiplex stadium? or their SPL title? of their European success? They have 2 cups, was it really worth completely crippling the entire club for?

I genuinely would feel a bit more sympathy with the hearts supporters if they hadn't been so unbelievably arrogant over the years. All this "big team wee team" guff and all their "hibs are an irrelevance to us now, we have killed them off" or "the OF are our main rivals now" etc etc.

Here's a cracking example -

Can you all not see why anyone Hibs related would be extremely pissed off with us right now?


We delivered the most humiliating result in their history on 19/05/12 that was effectively paid for by the UK Tax Payer. Until we pay HMRC in full this cheating allegation will continue to be thrown at us. After all, many of you took that stance towards Rangers a year ago so will understand perfectly.

Oh you lot BETTER 'believe' that ........ that and 30 years of your 'Financial Football' !!!

To be fair, this is a rare moment of self-realisation from the Yams. A long way to go, but its a start.

[HibeePaj]

The awkward moment you put your whole team up for sale and get no offers :/

At the minute these players don't know where their future lies, no money and possibly no club going into pre-season.

Surely they can walk for nothing due to breach of contract over unpaid wages. Like the tattooed bandit Stevenson did first time round?

[Part/Time Supporter]

Question for the more financially literate: Given there is now absolutely no money left in Yamland and the entire asset base is covered by the security held by UKIO's liquidator, is administration possible?

No, unless there was some sort of guaranteed income to come in before any further bills hit. An administrator isn't allowed to borrow funds. The bigger problem (by far) there is the lack of cash, rather than security or dealing with folk in another country.

[21.05.2016]

I grew up around mostly hearts fans and they were and are good people. Banter is always there so i would urge those that are peeking over to brokeback that not all yams are all 5-1 1902 etc like the uber fans craigieboy shwnlafud jizzaetc
I want hmfc to be around for years to press on our recent deserved superiority and show we are the best in edinburgh.

I may be in the minority but hey.

There are a very small minority of decent, non-arrogant jambos but the vast vast majority of jambos i've ever come across are big headed, arrogant, deluded, bigotted morons who are still giving it "oh but but 5-1" "1902" "big team wee team" despite their club dying before their eyes.

A jambo i've known for years told me after they won the SC in 2006 how that it was just the beginning and how hearts will go on to dominate the SPL and how hibs are an irrelevance to them now as hearts are now a top force in Scotland. The only thing he can say in reply to all this nonsense going on at hearts right now is "oh but but we won 5-1" "hibs haven't won the cup since 1902". Aye ok son, carry on saying it coz that will definatly save you from the hole you are in :aok:

Deluded bunch of morons and maybe if they could just live in reality for a moment they could have actually done something to save their club a lot sooner, instead they continue to live in this delusion where they are a "big team".

Why doesn't the likes of Gordon, Levein, Pressley and others who are millionaires give the club some cash to get us through this period? If It was me I would only be too happy to help. It's weird they have never been asked.

[basehibby]

Shaun William Roaster on allisbarry.com

"7-0 was always just a single freak result to me. It was not a record and as that belonged to us, along with total superiority and domination of the fixture in my lifetime, I never gave a crap. To be honest, pumping them in the 06 semi killed them off for good, the 5-1 final was just hilarious entertainment."

Coming from someone who's club is in the football hospice on maximum morphine with the family at the bedside, that one's a beauty.

Maybe it's just having difficulty coping with the concept of death.

:rolleyes:

Presumably 6-2 was just another single freak result. :hilarious

Thing is 0-7 IS a record - Hearts' record home defeat in the league - never been beaten before or since

5-1 just isn't as good as six two, when yer one up to start with. Or when your singing about being unbeatable as you wear stupid Russian hats, thereafter being bossed and beaten.

Nobody can stop it, it must be allowed to run its natural course. Once the new season starts Hearts would have many more income streams than they have just now including a substantial payment from the SPL. A hearing will be set for the near future to determine what punishment will be given to Hearts for non-payment of wages.

[SaulGoodman]

Meanwhile George also confirmed news of Hearts stadium and commercial intentions. He said: "At the moment we have two plans for Tynecastle. Plan A is redeveloping the old stand plus associated development of the other three stands, within the footprint of the current stadium. That would bring us up to 24- 25,000. Plan B has resulted from suggestions by the architects, that with the acquisition of a bit more land on this site we could build a stadium of about 38-39,000. We need to generate the revenue to service the extra cost. We are also going to be opening a superstore in Edinburgh city centre. "I think Hearts is a sleeping giant, with a huge potential, if you look at the interest we have had at Cup Finals and European games. We have to figure out how best to realise that potential."

Fantastic if we get out of this with no debt whilst H1b5 with their pidly wee support just keep mounting up their debts. And lets not forget if TFarmer hadn't stepped in years ago they would have been long gone! Not a good situation, I know, as I would have missed the regular 'filleting' of the wee team!

If things go how we hope, who was the last ever Hearts player brought in?

Could be a quiz question in the future.

Listen to this cracker!:

They really seem to struggle with the concept of a manageable, structured debt repayable at regular intervals under agreed terms, which every business has, and the absolute financial shambles they are in.

When we stop paying wages and face weekly winding up orders then I will entertain criticism of Hibs finances from them.

Until then they can shut the **** up.

[WhileTheChief..]

July 2011 Papers are lodged by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) over a £200,000 tax debt.
Hearts settle out of court on 16 August 2011, but relations with the tax authorities become fractious.

November 2011 Hearts try to drastically reduce costs as majority shareholder, Vladimir Romanov, cuts external funding for the football club. The club settles a tax bill of £1m with HMRC but cannot afford to pay their staff for the second month in succession.

December 2011 Ryan Stevenson effectively goes on strike, withdrawing himself for family reasons after three months of wage delays. He later joins Ipswich before returning seven months later.

February 2012 The club staves off a third winding-up order from HMRC in the space of four months after making an 11th hour payment to the tax authorities.

October 2012 HMRC claim Hearts owe £1.75m in unpaid tax relating to loans from the Lithuanian club FBK Kaunas, also owned by Romanov at the time. The club are placed under a 60-day transfer embargo by the Scottish Premier League after not paying wages on time.

November 2012 Director Sergejus Fedotovas warns Hearts are on death's door following a winding-up order issued by HMRC over arrears of £450,000. Foundation of Hearts sees a takeover bid for the club fail. Fedotovas accuses the group of "a staggering misjudgement of the value of the club".

December 2012 More than £1m is raised through a share issue to keep the club afloat, although it is £800,000 below the ambitious target set by the club's hierarchy. The transfer embargo levied on Hearts in October is extended.

February 2013 Vladmir Romanov's stricken bank Ukio Bankas, which holds £15m of Hearts' total £25m debt and 29.9% of the shares in the club, enters administration.

May 2013 Ukio Bankas is declared bankrupt, subject to appeal, while majority shareholder UBIG declares itself insolvent. However, Hearts escape relegation after the SPL decides this does not amount to an insolvency event.

June 2013 The decision to declare Ukio Bankas bankrupt is upheld as Hearts struggle to meet a £100,000 payment due to HMRC and upcoming wage demands. The club announce the whole squad is for sale and they suggest sluggish season ticket sales are to blame.

Oh the irony!!!

" Stevenson had quit Tynecastle following a dispute over unpaid wages but told Hearts' website: "I'm excited at the prospect of returning to the club.

"Naturally, the circumstances of my previous departure might have made this move seem unlikely, but I want to assure everyone that I am only focused on playing and winning with Hearts.

"I am delighted to be here." "

I love the Kickback description of the SPL being 'very quick' to issue the transfer embargo.

It's like a pervert flashing himself outside the school gates at the same time every day, then expressing surprise that there's a police car waiting across the road to catch him the act.

The term 'what planet?' instantly springs to mind. I think Mercer had a lot to answer for, imbuing them with a totally misplaced superiourity complex, and Pieman didn't help, but Romanov's madness has really psychologically damaged a collective group of people, who, let's face it, were never over endowed with grey matter in the first place.

Ryan Stevenson on being a man:

“I don’t feel as if I have been left with any other option than to say, ‘Right, I’ve had enough’.

“What they have been doing to us is simply not right and if it was happening in any other walk of life, then people would kick up a stink about it.

“I made this decision about two or three weeks ago. Deep down I knew then I was going to do it but I kept putting it off because I was worried about what it might do to my reputation in the game.

“But my wife is pregnant and she had a small bad turn with the baby. I took her into the hospital to have everything checked out. We had a scan and the first thing the doctor asked me was, ‘Has she been under any undue stress or working too hard?’

“I looked at her face, I saw her looking at me, and I knew right then what I had to do.

“There comes a point in every man’s life when he needs to stand up for what he believes in. I am a husband and now I’m going to be a dad. I have to stand up for what I believe is right.

“Quite simply, I believe what Hearts are doing to us is not right.

“So when I spoke to the manager yesterday I made my feelings clear. I told him the best outcome is for the club to either release me from my contract or agree to sell me if they get a bid. Either way I want out.

“We’re now being told we’re not going to be paid until the middle of January at the earliest, maybe even February. I’m not going to allow myself to be treated like this any longer.”

So best case is that they use the best part of £8m of fans cash to buy the worst team in living memory that is unlikely to be allowed to register a player over 21 for a year, if at all, as well as a crumbling stadium that needs several million pounds of investment just to keep going.
