#Hearts (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Hearts&src=hash) administrator Bryan Jackson calls on interested parties to submit an offer for the club ASAP. See today's EN. #HMFC (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23HMFC&src=hash)

:hmmm:

[JollyGreenGiant]

I don't think for a minute they're kidding on. The yams only sold 6000 season tickets pre-admin.*They'll definitely sell the other 3k tickets.

Other than getting a Wonga loan, how many people can shell out £300 - £400 in a month on a season ticket. Yams I have spoken to have the choice of buying a season ticket or going on holiday and most are telling me that they can't justify putting anymore money into the club.

UK-based group (involving Gordon McKie & Stephen Paterson) have put their offer for #Hearts (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Hearts&src=hash) to administrators BDO. Story in today's EN #HMFC (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23HMFC&src=hash)

[Leishy1995]

Barry Anderson claiming hearts have had a bid put forward to their administrator. Shame he can't sell them.

[Kato]

They'll sell 3000 no problem imho. All it's doing is getting them all aboard a carpet that is about to whipped from beneath them.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Why would clubs, who have been impacted by Hearts cheating, want to help them out because of their cheating?

Sounds ridiculous.

It would be like Lance Armstrong (1-5, by the way) asking his previous cycling community cyclists to chip in to get him back on the circuit.

[Gus Fring]

Will be difficult when 79% of Hearts shares are frozen with all other UBIG assets.

If there's a chance of a sale then the Administrator can ask for the assets to be unfrozen. Doesn't mean it'll happen but there is a slight possibility. He probably won't ask until he's done all the rest as they'll likely only get one shot at it.

[greenginger]

Popped my heid into the Yams ticket office 15 minutes ago (11:15am). Car park busy but artificially so, satellite van taking up about 15 spaces as they were doing an interview there. Looked like Charles Paterson from SKY interviewing a Danny Wilson lookalike. Checked their website and narrowed it down to three, McHattie seems the current go to guy at the minute.

Anyhoo there was about eight in the queue, a couple were carrying hangers so i take it tickets and retail operate from the same line. Another four browsing could be buying anything, old couple looking at the token gifts, mugs(!) and pens. Actually felt a bit sorry for them looked like the types that are affronted at the shenanigans and just seemed to want to do their bit however small. Auld chap wearing his Yam jacket wi' pride.

Wasn't going in deep cover, so can't report on the Garden Gnomes! Must be potential for a paint job there.

I was in the shop as well this morning ( about 11.05 am, us Hibbies are making their place busy ! ) Two or three looking like they were going to buy tickets of some description.
The shop is a pretty scruffy dump compared to ours, makes TK Max look like Harrods. :greengrin

[s.a.m]

In the extremely unlikely event that the valiant efforts of these hoards of valiant and loyal Jambos, stampeding in their thousands to the club's rescue in its hour of need, fail to hit the target - what happens to the season and match ticket cash handed over, if they fold and don't actually play any games? Does it get tossed into the black hole to contribute to the creditor compensation, or do they get it back?

With the offers that they are likely to make I don't think Jackson will even make the phone call to Lithuania.

They'll be creditors of the club and will get 0p in the £.

I see the administrator is begging interested parties to come forward with bids for the club asap. Maybe time before they have to move to liquidate the club is shorter than he is suggesting.

Indeed with the value of Tynecastle dubious, I suspect BDO will do their best to safeguard their fee and move to liquidation sooner rather than later if the cash is not coming in.

Selling a few (Under-12) £50 season cards will not bring that much in.

Straight into John Suttons pocket :) Bit off just quoting him in the EN story as there will be others who will not half their CONTRACTED wage. Hound him out, turn on our players, it's the Hearts way.

:agree:

Why is the administrator making a plea for bids if they have lots of credible ones? The media has no consensus.

Crazy if you let it

I was looking at sickback its horrendous how can anyone read that is beyond me its just a repetitive chain of silly `pleasing` and yas pics..... if they ever learn how to string a sentence together they might accomplish something.


But, but, but look what the nice Hibbies on Pie & Bovril made...

(Not my own work (not sinking to their level), but it has been getting sent to a lot of my Yam acquaintances of late. It's fun to twist their nonsense and throw it back at them :greengrin)

[silverhibee]

So that's
500 on Friday,
300 on Saturday,
100 Yesterday.

Radio Forth reporting they sold 1000 over the weekend.

[JeMeSouviens]

:agree:

Probably because McKie's ***** Knights have more conditions than pounds attached to their bid and the Foundation of Muppetry have no conditions but no pounds.

Any word from your SPL contacts on whether there's any chance they'll worm out of a long transfer embargo?

[Seveno]

Go to Milk on Morrison St owned by a Hibee. We gloat at least three times a day about the Yam predicament!

Bought my lunch there today. Not cheap but quality food. In fact, Hibs Class.

[Gus Fring]

Radio Forth reporting they sold 1000 over the weekend.

That'll be from the statement on their site that they've reached 1000 total. I was working off Stuart Bathgates figures.

Now it's

500 on Friday
300 on Saturday
200 on Sunday.

Whats going to happen when they do get liquidated?
They'll be clueless.
Then you'll get two are three of their different faction setting up (what they claim to be) the REAL new hearts.
hearts of lothian playing at Saughton enclosure
The heart of midlothian playing at the Gyle park and
FC hearts playing at Roseburn park

Which one to pick?

They could form their own Yam League thus ensuring that they are always the 'big' team in one form or another.

[jacomo]

They could form their own Yam League thus ensuring that they are always the 'big' team in one form or another.

Why stop at a League? They could create their own states - perhaps one could be Yamland, another called Yamnation. If they fall out and go to war the victors would be able to erect a new war memorial.

[JimBHibees]

Radio Forth reporting they sold 1000 over the weekend.

I am less than convinced these figures are genuine, sounds like the media outlets being fed good news to try and start a rush for them IMO.

[HFC 0-7]

I am less than convinced these figures are genuine, sounds like the media outlets being fed good news to try and start a rush for them IMO.

personally I think the figures are genuine in fact I think they will sell well in excess of the 3k. But doing this causes them major problems if they survive, it means that not only have they spent their entire st sales before the start of the season, but these 3k plus new st sales are probably usually walk ups and therefore they won't have them as a source of income for during the season.

it means that any new owners will need to find a good few million to buy the club, then bank roll the club during the season then throughout the next close season to stop them spending st money early. Any new owners need to have a lot of spare cash!

[Kato]

What happens if they only sell, say 2,800?

Same if they sell 3,200 - their goose is cooked.

[MB62]

I am less than convinced these figures are genuine, sounds like the media outlets being fed good news to try and start a rush for them IMO.

Let us not forget that the 3,000 is a begging number merely to get them to the start of the season, and that money will be gone, then they have the usual expenses of running a club. Ok, they will income in the shape of gate receipts and SPL money, but will that be anywhere near enough to see them through the season?
I have my doubts on that one.

I agree I also think a figure was put out to give an idea to any prospective bidders the sort of short term money that is required. Flush them out or in the Yams case, flush them away. :greengrin

Agree entirely I hope they sell 10,000 tickets and that they stay in administration as long as possible.

During their stay in administration I hope there are innumerate further begging bowls passed round.

By the end of a season in which they have been pumped umpteen times both financially and in the park they will be so fed up they will stop rallying to the call and will at least do one thing with dignity - die.

I would have thought so as well but since the call to arms they haven't exactly been selling like hotcakes considering the circumstances. I guessed there would be the initial rush and then the dribs and drabs would come in but where are the other 2000 sales coming from. Are people waiting for payday? School holiays are upon us at the end of the week and not everyone has enough disposible income to just find £400 from nowhere unless they take cash out via their CC but that is very expensive. I'm sure a few of them need the cash for holidays etc. At least they don't have to fork out for a European trip....:greengrin

That is the crux of the problem :thumbsup::agree:
With the season ticket money having been spent when the season starts they will have to depend on " walk up fans " to give them working capital and maintain some sort of cash flow.
That is unless the new buyers intend pumping millions into the club ala Romanov :greengrin

Talk on Brokeback of selling t-shirts to raise cash. The proposed designs show the mentality they have of "5-1 wiz wurth it big teme 1902" as opposed to maybe something along the lines of Hands off Hibs eg "Save oor Hertz".

I wouldn't mind them surviving because I enjoy the derby, but this sort of thing just makes me love seeing them squirm. GIRFUY.



This post has to get a shout out though,

Think it might be better still if it was every eight seconds, I'm not keen on the number seven in a derby context

As they so love to say, "still hurting."
:giruy:

[The Falcon]

What happens if they only sell, say 2,800?

I reckon they'll sell around 2200-2500 and hail it as a sterling and monumental effort. Bit like the successful share issue/fraud which raised just over half its intended target and they are all patting themselves on the back.

I suspect any potential new owners, unless they are totally minted, would be grateful for a transfer embargo as they need to stabilise the ship financially. With all the ST money gone, and having to exist on walk ups and cake sales they would be under extreme pressure if they could sign players which may derail the project before it gets going. Unless they are loaded of course, like Vlad, then it wouldn't be a problem and they could also owe it to themselves.

I tell you what is interesting about this. If the BDO have a likely buyer they would unlikely to be giving FOH support through the Hearts website. They clearly want to give them a decent shot at it...but 3000 converted pledges will be way short of anything they need to acquire the club...

[Geo_1875]

I'm just amazed that they have blown Vlad's millions, screwed the taxpayer and other creditors, yet they expect their direct rivals to help save them by advancing money from the SPL. How hard is it to embarrass them?

Going into Div1 is definitely not going to stabilise any ships. More like hole what's left of it below the waterline. :wink:

I must say I really like the scenario where they limp into the season, get humped royally round the SPL and then disappear. :aok:

The -15 has already seen off a couple of bidders. No transfer window is more or less a given because of the timescales. An embargo stopping them signing free agents would be good and if it goes beyond the January window, might be the final nail.

TBF, that's a lot more than I thought they would get. I noticed that they're not saying how much that amounts to per month.


Actually, could somebody explain to me how that's going to work in buying the club? I'd have thought they'd need at least a few million up front. How is the monthly pedge going to help them achieve that??

I was surprised to see him out and about but to be honest not sure what else these guys can do? Can't stay indoors forever.

TBH, he's given so much joy to so many people over the last year or so, I'm sure we could manage to have a whip-round and buy him a wee pied-a-terre somewhere.

Quite a few people bought them after, so I assume it was from seeing it on here :greengrin Even had our first Dnipro Appeal t-shirt sale!

Will have the first order on their way by the end of the week. Something #barry to cut about in Drogheda or Malmo in anyway.

I can count at least 10 Hearts badges on that frontage alone. Is that strictly necessary??

It hides the large safety pins that are holding it together

Was in a flat overlooking their ticket office yesterday afternoon around 3:30pm and took this pic, you would think they would be queuing half way down McLeod St, especially as they have to pay by cash or cheque.

Have they moved their club store? Did it not used to be attached to the stand behind the goal? I am guessing this photo is loking onto the car park at the back of the main stand? :confused:

Had the pleasure of sitting next to a yam on a bus today. Was on the phone to my mate talking about the Europa League draw and the yambolino thought wise to say "What do you think will happen to Hearts?" I replied "Honestly? I think they are knackered..."

He turned and said "Really? Well I think we will last a lot longer than Hibs. We have such a large following and we have so much more money at our disposle"

I mean seriously? Do Hearts fans really seriously think this??

They cannot be that stupid surely?!

Unfortunately they do. There is a thread on Sickbag called Hibs debt where anyone who tries to point out that their predictions of financial gloom and doom for Hibs, and others it has to be said, are wildly inaccurate is basically outing themself as a Hobo. At one point they are mocking because Hibs watch their balance sheet. Well they didnt and look whats happened. Its not rocket science.

They are as insufferable as they are deluded. Bizarre behaviour considering the mess they are in. .

I've said before I am in a dilemma regarding Hearts....do I want them to die slowly or quickly? Quickly! Faster than Mr Bolt! Don't like to see anyone on a life support machine. Turn it off! I know I am going to get :shotdowni for this but when I hear people say they want them to hang around so we can pump them I am not so sure. I know we have have not lost in the last five but all I see is lots of 0-0 or 1-0 games. Frankly I just want them alongside Third Lanark and not a modern Greyfriars Bobby, hanging around around their masters grave getting fed scraps and receiving handouts from people feeling sorry for them.

Yes, this year's a rerun of last century's Pink v Green wars, when eventually the Dispatch was merged with the News and the one city, one Saturday evening sports paper was called the News and Dispatch. And then just the News.

This time round, Green has triumphed and there will be no merger.

To be fair I think he was a concessionary fare...

I still cannot believe some of them really believe Hibs will be bust before them. Do they not read news?

I tell you, my mate at work sometimes comes out with some p15h but this one today took the flaming biscuit.

I didn't want them to go under, but bugger it, let them go right to the wall. Sick of the lies, the supporters saying they are still the biggest club in Edinburgh. He even then went on to say Hibs fans are the same as Celtic, saying they will be the biggest in Edinburgh, but "The Rangers" are the biggest in Glasgow and Scotland they have won trophy upon trophy. Of course when I reminded him that "The Rangers have only won one trophy in their history it did shut him up.

Nah, enough is enough now. Bryan whenever you are ready I am, turn the lights off on your way out mate. Thanks!

A potential rescue plan for the HMFC?

Dear Billy G,
This is a plea to save the institution that is Heart of Midlothian football club. Due to gross financial irresponsibility, we need somewhere between £30 and £50 million pounds to cover our costs and pay back our creditors. The club is in administration, and is for sale. If you were to spare this amount we would be eternally grateful – Microsoft rules forever! As we are fundamentally honest people, we would like to pay back all of the money that we owe rather than use the CVA route which unduly punishes thousands of innocent people, mainly Lithuanians. Our plan to repay your investment is as follows.
From now on we will be a model of financial frugality, and will cover all costs before considering our player wages budget. We have a 5 point plan (and 1 optional point).
1. 20% of all turnover will be used to service the debt to yourself. This amounts to between £1.5 and £2 million per year. We would ask that interest accrued matches inflation, with a 0.51% additional (for your profit).
2. Operational costs will be met, and non football staff will be paid according to their contracts – on time, every time (that’s a promise btw). With the funds left over, football staff from management, coaching and playing staff, will be paid a percentage. With about 40 staff of this type expected, this amounts to about 2.51% each (or 2.49% for those with any Hibs connections). With a predicted £2500000 available, this amounts to £62750 per annum – a respectable yearly wage. Players may have to wait until the full accounts have been established before receiving full payment, but this has become standard practice here.
3. With the financial plan in place, we would like to impose a partial transfer ban on ourselves. Instead, should we sell any players for profit, the money gained will go into a separate account. 51% of this would go to paying back the balance on our loan to yourself (interest free as a reward). 43.9% of this fund would be available for transfer fees, with the remaining 5.1% of this going to charity. (Charity is a form of helping others less fortunate than yourself).
4. In an effort to atone for prior acts of arrogance, delusion, and callousness, we will organise a half time draw at all home games. One season ticket holder will be drawn randomly. This season ticket holder will either serve 51 hours of community service OR wear for 51 days a T-shirt saying ‘sorry for being a Yam plum’.
5. We couldn’t think of another point, but we need 5 you see, so we will sponsor Microsoft on our Jerseys – for free of course!
1. Optional point – We will all undertake a lifelong mission to spread the concept of living in your means, and extolling the virtues of integrity (our scholars are working on these concepts, and will prepare a report soon).
Sincerely,
HUMPEM
(Humble Pie Eaters of Midlothian)

For the first time I ever I went on to the Kickback site expecting to see hundreds of threads about survival, anger at Mad Vlad etc etc. However all I saw was lots of nonsense about dishing us, stupid comments about the now void cup final and just 8 pages (perhaps 160 posts) on how season ticket sales are going (their very survival). Our site has 754 pages on the Hearts situation, 22596 posts and 2.9 million views!!! I simply cannot understand the lack of reaction/ complacency in Gorgie. I know it has been mentioned elsewhere but Hands off Hibs mobilised thousands and was genuinely passionate. They seem passive about the whole situation. While I would be astonished if they do not sell 3000 tickets given the gravity of their position and it is frankly pathetic if they fail to shift that number the news seems very conflicting. Near silence on Kickback and anecdotal evidence from people who have posed saying their ticket office has a dribble of interest. It really will be fascinating to see how many they shift. Am I missing something?

Couldn't resist " cutting and pasting " this from a national newspaper comments column in reply to two jambo's slagging off Hibs


The words of this song sum you up perfectly
With apologies to Tammy Wynette

Sometimes it's hard to be a Jambo
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin things that you don't understand
But if you love him
You'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand

It's too late for them to do anything meaningful now, all they can do is give more of their ill gotten gains to the club and hope that someone with a spare 10m comes along and saves them. When action was required they burried their heads in the sand and hid behind 5-1 and we owe it to ourselves. When the bulldozers are moving in they will finally realise that they have let the club they love, the club their fathers and grandfather's loved go down the tubes without a fight. They have got a thread on brokeback to save their war Memorial, the irony is that the names on that war memorial had the guts to stand up and be counted unlike their present day counterparts.

[SaulGoodman]

Who?

:agree:

For the record for anyone genuinely wondering, Mchatties the one our very own David Worherspoon (who's a sub at best right now, no offence meant) ripped the pish out of at the cup game.

Think about that for a minute, then think about us playing them next season, only with them having 11 of these Mchatties quality players.


'Pleasing'

[greenginger]

As I mentioned earlier in the thread I believe that their contract will run out June 29th. Scottish Rugby Union are to move in their for 6 months due to the training pitches at Murrayfield undergoing repair. This is from a family member who does work with the SRU.

But Gordon Mckie will fix it for them to train WITH the Rugby squad.

Had a look at reports on McKie leaving the SRU. Seem to be a few unanswered questions and as for his great financial wizardry,...
he managed to reduce the SRU overdraft from £20 million to £15 million in 6 years.

Pity the Yams never got him in before they went bust, they could have been debt free by about 2050. :greengrin

Hyped by the ever clueless Scottish media bingo :agree: The same media that claimed Eoin Jess was the new Kenny Dalglish. The same press that gave Darren Mackie the title 'the Scottish Wayne Rooney'. Jeez the Scottish media only gave Davie Cooper his deserved credit after Ruud Gullit claimed he was the best player he's played against - the man had been a genuis on the pitch for years before that.

McHattie, as I stated after their first game of the season, is poor - there for the taking when up against pace. All he really has in his armoury is a set piece delivery. Dylan McGowan makes me shake my head and weep - with tears of laughter when folk claim he is a good footballer. Callum Tapping is as lightweight a footballer as you will see. Dale Carrick runs about like he's drank a can of Red Bull with fizz bombs in it - nowt else. They also claim Billy King is the 'next big thing' - they'll need to chain a weight to his ankle then because a wee gust of wind would blow the boy out of Tynie into Chesser he's that skinny. Another who the press have stupidly claimed is a 'prospect'.

Jamie Walker is a real talent. Holt is decent. Brad McKay is definitely a prospect too. That as they say is that though.

I've seen nothing in their youth teams to suggest thay have a 'production line of talent' as is always claimed on the Beeb especially. I'll guarantee that Brian McLauchlin and Co don't watch youth football games - yet they feel qualified to hype up the kids on the briefest of viewings in an SPL game or two.

In fact, recently I've seen better kids attached to Livi, Killie and St Johnstone than I have Hibs and Hearts. And that's being honest and impartial. Killie have one of the best midfielders I've seen (aged 13) in a long long time as far as youth football goes.

Prior to them going in to administration this pillar of the community was suggesting that Yams should buy season tickets using their credit cards as the banks would take the hit. You would think his party would want to distance themselves from the immoral self serving prick.

I don't think that's true.

Just been told by a YAM who has always been pretty much on the button in the past, that 15 players have accepted a pay cut but Sutton has refused to take any kind of reduced salary and wants his full pay. No doubt that means he will be getting nothing, whilst the rest of them will be getting half of nothing :wink: :greengrin

After this some of the comments on Yamback are funny
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is unreal...

I wonder if there would be some way off paying him some wages (Not from the club, maybe Fans!!!) And having him train with Hearts but not registered, then as soon as we get out of Admin we can sign him up on the Books, his show of commitment to Hearts is exactly what we need and It would be a shame to lose that passion.

Worth looking into perhaps!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It would be interesting to know if he'd be happy to sit in the background for a month or 2 and get a wage, if so perhaps a Sponsorship could be lodged.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's classy, top man. You never know if we do somehow get out of administration before 31 August we may be able to sign him up if he's not been signed up. Maybe wishful thinking but hey we live in hope. Well done Danny lad.

you never know if the club comes out of administration before the 31st of august he might just be our first signing

It's simple PH - Scottish football is a patient on life support. The Rangers are in Division 2, and whilst they remain a huge club, the juicy stories from Ibrox have dried up and are just little column fillers nowadays. They are scrambling about to fill the back pages at a time where football is on it's knees. Be unkind to Hearts, as they were seen as being with Rangers (by The Rangers fans and staff), then that is two big Scottish clubs who will 'remember' and quite perversely point the finger of blame - it's happening now with The Rangers fans groups - this 'it was your fault (media and other Scottish clubs) and you're now reaping what you sow' type behaviour.

It's a bit like someone in debt blaming the credit card company - this 'if they hadn't have given me credit I wouldn't be in this mess'. However the credit card staff didn't walk into Thomas Cook and book the all inclusive holiday to the Carribean or buy the expensive shoes, or buy that expensive plasma screen, the actual punter did :wink:

Hearts have to, and have thus far failed to, show humility and some responsibility for their reckless actions - they owe that apology to the tax paying public, just as The Rangers should have. They owe money to the tax payer - that should be paid.

Instead, in typically Scottish (and British) fashion, fingers are pointed out the way from Tynecastle and others are expected to show not only sympathy, but to absorb the mess themselves by simply allowing Hearts to be saved - under this guise of 'saving Scottish football'.

Scottish football will always be there - in some shape or form. Hearts will always be there, in some shape or form. What division it is in, that's for the authorities to decide.

The key word for me is 'responsibility'. Every club in Scotland needs to become more responsible. The 'football clubs are different' approach has to stop. Tom English really went down in my estimation last week when he claimed other clubs were being petty and ignorant when Hearts were 'laying off' staff - we should show sympathy he said. Tom mate, how about when a company gets into over £40 million in debt, others around the game then see big big earners being the first to lose their job in that case, not the girls in the office. Who after all are the most likely to able to get by in a redundancy situation Tom ? I'll wager that the girl on low income, losing her job, is really heartene d to read that Ryan and Co are agreeing to 'half wages' - wages that no doubt still are way over what she got paid :aok: A quite idiotic response from Mr English at the end of the day asking or us to show sympathy.

[Chris.igoe]

Hahah just seen this on sh**back
Talking about Sutton going


Fair enough, he was probably being asked to take a 70-80% cut.

Were there not noises the other week about the SPL allowing us grace to fill positions we have no players for even if we have a transfer ban? So Sutton's loss could be Goodwillie and/or Boyd's gain. :whistling:

By Tom English's logic a job at Tynecastle is more worth saving than job losses at relegated Dundee who Hearts have cheated.

This is human nature isn't it? A big motorway pile up will make the news, but individual accidents might not (even if they add up to more casualties).

By knowingly paying wages they can't afford (the first problems with pay roll happened almost 5 years ago) Hearts have damaged the prospects of many other clubs, lessening their income and causing who knows what negative impacts in terms of employment and other economic impacts.

Likewise, their failure to cough up to HMRC does nothing to help public finances, thus pushing back the date when the current "austerity" measures from the UK government might be relaxed.

But of course they don't care about that.

[truehibernian]

What I find amusing (and humbling) is that previous Hibernian players have all contributed six figure sums (individually) to The Academy and thus the club - in order for it to flourish. This they have done off their own backs when they have been sold.

Craig Gordon (alegedly £9 million), Templeton (£1.5) million, Ryan McGowan, Velicka, Skacel (to Southampton for around £2 million), Lee Wallace, Paul Hartley (£1 million to Celtic), Berra to Wolves.............the list of high money moves goes on - Hearts only need £800,000 to 'survive' yet I don't see any news of these players, all of whom made their name at Hearts and got big money moves, writing big cheques as a thank you and to help ?

Their hoardes are happy that young Wilson, a loanee, pays for 2 adults and 2 children and that McGowan promises to buy one for every thousand sold - oh and that Skacel can pull a pint or two in a local boozer :aok: there is most certainly a Hibs and Hearts class after all eh :agree:

The crass irony of Locke going to Swally McCoist for a friendly to bail them out is just comedy - only, and I mean only, Hearts could act in such a way. One of their fans actually came up to me this week claiming Hearts had a 'special relationship' with Liverpool - aye, an especially bad one it seems - they gave you lot Wilson and N'Goo :greengrin:aok:

For the first time I ever I went on to the Kickback site expecting to see hundreds of threads about survival, anger at Mad Vlad etc etc. However all I saw was lots of nonsense about dishing us, stupid comments about the now void cup final and just 8 pages (perhaps 160 posts) on how season ticket sales are going (their very survival). Our site has 754 pages on the Hearts situation, 22596 posts and 2.9 million views!!! I simply cannot understand the lack of reaction/ complacency in Gorgie. I know it has been mentioned elsewhere but Hands off Hibs mobilised thousands and was genuinely passionate. They seem passive about the whole situation. While I would be astonished if they do not sell 3000 tickets given the gravity of their position and it is frankly pathetic if they fail to shift that number the news seems very conflicting. Near silence on Kickback and anecdotal evidence from people who have posed saying their ticket office has a dribble of interest. It really will be fascinating to see how many they shift. Am I missing something?

What is wrong with them is that for a long time they have fallen in with the concept that their club is an institution and they have subsequently become institutionalised. They are a cowed bunch with no sense of individuality which allows them to be cowed into toeing the official line. They also have a tendency towards "uniform" behaviour (note the number of postmen, bus drivers and traffic wardens who "follow" them). Even their World War I heroes didn't think to volunteer on an individual basis. They needed the group mentality and an order from above to jump to arms. While a group of Hertz fans may make a lot of noise about any subject and will claim to be part of a bigger group, left to their own devices they will wither and die.

[NeilOrrSquareBa]

When Robinson wanted to sell Tynecastle and move HMFC to Murrayfield in 2005 the financial figure quoted indicated that the deal struck with Cala was worth circa £20m. Some 8 years later the press and Administrators suggest the same deal would realise only £5m. Now land value has dropped but not sunk. My house for example (bought in 2001 is worth significantly more now than then and the value whilst dropped is nowhere near the 75% these figures suggest.

So what's the truth?

BTW
You'd have to sell 80 houses at £250k each to get your money back Less the construction costs.
If you could build 80 house on the land today and sell them for £250k each having paid £5m for the land then your making a massive 75% gross margin so....?

How about we Hibees set up a trust fund to buy Tncastle from the Lith Admins for £10m - if we limit the shares to 10,000 that's a grand a share and if we sell the land on for house building for £20m that a clear £1k profit per share. Come on guys wha's with me?!!:cb

Hearts: Administrator Jackson frets over possible SFA fine

Administrator Bryan Jackson believes it could be a "disaster" if Hearts were handed any kind of fine by the Scottish Football Association. Jackson is expecting further sanctions to be imposed on the club, who are already subject to a registration ban. Among the penalties the SFA could hand out are a censure, a fine or an extended signing embargo.

"Any monetary penalty would be a big, big concern in how we'd get over that," said Jackson.

The Scottish Premier League has already handed the Tynecastle side a 15-point deduction for next season, as well as a ban on signing players. The SFA will establish an independent judicial panel in the next two weeks to assess Hearts' plight and to decide on an appropriate punishment. "The SFA will come calling next, that's what normally happens," said Jackson. "They let the first sanctions kick in and once that's dealt with then we usually get summoned.

"We're always given a fair hearing at least so they listen to what we have to say and then they have to decide what sanctions, if any. "We understand why there has to be sanctions, we understand the rule's there but it's a real pressure on us in a lot of ways. "If there are any sanctions that are material in any way, that can be the difference that just puts you over the edge. "The thing that's really disappointing about it is we always feel the wrong people are being punished.

"For example, in this situation with Hearts it's the fans that have put the money in again and again and again and I feel they're being punished along with players and along with staff. "And the people that tend to be responsible generally for these situations coming about are not there any more. That's what happens. "Whilst I understand there has to be a fairness and there has to be sanctions of some kind, I just think it's difficult to get that balance and the wrong people are suffering because of it." Jackson laments that it is the staff at Hearts who are bearing the brunt of the cuts, with 14 administrative staff having been made redundant already. He said: "The people who lost their jobs, were they really responsible for the position the club got itself into? I don't think so. "That's not caused directly by the sanctions but the sanctions are making it more difficult for the survival."

Jackson is also the administrator at Division Two side Dunfermline where, he says, last month the SFA applied a "fair" sanction a ban on signing players over 21 until 31 December 2013 "I don't know any reason why they shouldn't apply the same fairness to the Hearts situation," he said of the judicial panel. "[A monetary sanction] could be a disaster. You're in administration so the cashflow is totally tight.

"The strategy has been to generate enough money from the season ticket sales to keep the doors open, just to get to the CVA. "You put in an amount that we can't pay and potentially a new owner is going to inherit, can they manage to purchase the shares in the club and take that as an additional debt?"

Hearts have sold about 1,200 season tickets since Jackson appealed last week to fans to meet a target of 3,000 to keep the club going over the summer.

Hearts: Administrator Jackson frets over possible SFA fine

Administrator Bryan Jackson believes it could be a "disaster" if Hearts were handed any kind of fine by the Scottish Football Association. Jackson is expecting further sanctions to be imposed on the club, who are already subject to a registration ban. Among the penalties the SFA could hand out are a censure, a fine or an extended signing embargo.

"Any monetary penalty would be a big, big concern in how we'd get over that," said Jackson.

The Scottish Premier League has already handed the Tynecastle side a 15-point deduction for next season, as well as a ban on signing players. The SFA will establish an independent judicial panel in the next two weeks to assess Hearts' plight and to decide on an appropriate punishment. "The SFA will come calling next, that's what normally happens," said Jackson. "They let the first sanctions kick in and once that's dealt with then we usually get summoned.

"We're always given a fair hearing at least so they listen to what we have to say and then they have to decide what sanctions, if any. "We understand why there has to be sanctions, we understand the rule's there but it's a real pressure on us in a lot of ways. "If there are any sanctions that are material in any way, that can be the difference that just puts you over the edge. "The thing that's really disappointing about it is we always feel the wrong people are being punished.

"For example, in this situation with Hearts it's the fans that have put the money in again and again and again and I feel they're being punished along with players and along with staff. "And the people that tend to be responsible generally for these situations coming about are not there any more. That's what happens.

One of the tramps is brewing a beer called Scatch ale with an obvious 5.1% abv.
He isn't selling it but mearly giving it away when a donation is made to the HOMFC.
Now he is collecting the money through Paypal and not paying duty or deducting VAT.
Anyone know the legalities surrounding this?

dam... so selling a plastic pint cup for £1.50 then getting free beer to go in it does not sound like a way forward then

I'll think I'll just buy some beer and donate then

cheers!

£1.50 for a plastic pint pit and you get free beer, meanwhile the authorities just turn a blind eye????
My clown of a mate, also a Hearts fan, reckoned if you wanted to buy drink after licensing hours you could buy something 'else' and get the drink for free, therefore bypassing the strict licensing.
We were in a corner shop at Haymarket Terrace after a good night out, he asked the Asian shopkeeper if we could buy a few bottles,,"No" was the answer, "What if I was to buy some crisps, biscuits and that, for say £10, would we get a few bottles free?"
"You could try" said the shopkeeper,
my mate steamed in, grabbed a bag of walkers and some jammie dodgers, gave the guy a tenner, pleased as punch he was.
Wisnae so pleased when he left the shop with his over priced biscuits and crisps, a handful of smash, sans beer :loser: cheers ya fud!

1220 x £300 = £360,000 raised, including VAT.

Money to Hearts = £360,000 / 1.2 = £300,000.

They needed £700,000 to keep things going without flogging players. Looks like they've got a bit of a struggle on their hands. :thumbsup:

That article is really quite scary if you're a Yam.
1. Despite all the publicity & the best fans in the world, they've still sold less seasons than the wee team!
2. Jackson sounds semi-hysterical in that article. If an SFA fine can scupper Yams then they truly are holed below the waterline.
3. Jackson seems to think a CVA is his end target. Our resident experts believe a CVA is far from being a foregone conclusion.

This is so good, & only 5 days until transfer window opens, wonder who Yams will snatch from us this year!!

[Hibs07p]

As much as I want to see Hearts held accountable for their cheating, and they will be, probably in division 3 if they're lucky, I feel for the fans, (not the roasters) continually stepping up to the plate, trying to save their club. They're getting fed false hope through the media, from their idols, urging the faithful to dig deep, do everything they can to ensure Hearts survival. The administrators have said it, their idols are saying it, the F*** Off Hearts are saying it, only the fans financial input will see them through until they get a buyer, CVA, Liquidation, or whatever. This post is directly connected to hearing the Wonga advert, ironically, on radio, and realising that some of their support would probably use wonga, to finance their new season ticket, donation, shirt purchase, or whatever to save their club. The club is immoral, the sponsor is immoral, a lot of their fans are immoral, but a lot will also be vulnerable, wondering what more they can do to save their club. They cant afford to contribute money they don't have. Their club advertise wonga, it must be a safe haven surely? Ah f*** it, they reap what they sow. If they're stupid enough to take a Wonga loan, they're a perfect match for the cheating cants at Tynecastle.

Even if figures are correct they're on a downward spiral, from 500 on day 1 to 200 in last 2 days. They're still, despite the crisis, below last year's figure. Perhaps the Yams aren't quite as daft as we think! Would love to see us announce we're at 9,000 or higher any day now.

What would concern me if I was a fan, is what happens if they fall short of the target and/or fail to agree a CVA (and get liquidated, placed in Dv 3). These guys have all been encouraged by the Admin (the club) to buy STs at full price assuming they will be playing SPL football next season. Wonder if the'd be entitled to their money back if the club fails ?

You may well be right wrt English, the point was more about McKie stressing the importance of being out of admin and able to sign players before the 31st Aug.
Maybe a fine might reduce whatever player budget they have, I think I'd prefer the signing ban as I can see them getting over a fine somehow.

To be honest I see, say a year long transfer ban, as a much harder punishment. A fine would just be added to the pile. What's £100k when you owe £30million plus? However a whole season, with the band of kids and huddies they've got, stick ons for relegation, their fans will stop turning up, and any new owner will be looking on seeing them having to potentially fund the club through 2 seasons in the First Division.

That Jackson is pretty much outright begging for the ban is interesting. Not sure how a fine would work, but it would seem unlikely the SFA would expect them to pay it up straight away, but presumably a new bill would empty the biscuit tin and force them into liquidation, so even though a hefty transfer ban pretty much dooms them, it seems he is being forced to think so short term just to keep them rolling on that it's the lesser threat.


I would imagine the coming transfer ban probably takes everyone but FOH out of the equation, and since they are a bunch of potless time wasters, liquidation surely looms.


This all assumes that the SFA don't dump them out the SPL or something 'drastic' like that.

I'm going to break ranks here and say that Jackson is right.

What is the point of fining the Yams when they have no money to pay? An extended transfer ban such as Dunfermline got is a punishment that will have a real effect by leaving them with a very weak squad and will have a longer lasting effect by guaranteeing their relegation next summer.

And since such a ban looks likely to kill off the McKie consortium's interest, the picture looks even better.

Jackson pleading for a signing ban won't please the McKie bid.
Didn't Tom English say they might reconsider if one was put in place in his web chat earlier?

This seems to be the Brian Kennedy model. Go public with your interest and brag about how credible and wealthy you are, but then make a bid on the condition that all debts and sanctions are cleared.

When your bid gets refused because its utterly unfeasible, bleat publicly about it.

As Hearts can't afford to pay a fine, there seems little alternative to an extended signing ban if further sanctions come their way.

Will it have an effect? Are sevco not being allowed to carry on business as usual, sign loanees and call them triallists?

FoH gone a bit quiet the last few days unless I've missed something. Maybe Murray's call for a pledge from each supporter has resulted in them being sent furniture polish. You still can't polish a bloodied turd though.
