Hearts "haemorrhaging money" -- Gary Mackay (merged)

[Cropley10]

Absolutely priceless:

http://sport.scotsman.com/football/Gary-Mackay-This-feeling-of.5889101.jp#4683307

Gary MacKay actually says....

"There are ever-increasing rumours within business circles that the club is haemorrhaging money left, right and centre – as a lot of businesses are right now – and I am becoming increasingly concerned."

:faf::faf::faf:

[Barney McGrew]

I'm glad he's pointed it out.

It always takes the insight of someone like Mackay to see the things that no-one else has noticed.

He probably feel even worse if he had been involved in some kind of staged press photo supporting Vlad's push to punt season tickets to the ever-bending-over-to get-shafted Hertz fans. Just as well he wasn't :hmmm:

[hibsbollah]

From Gary Mackay's insightful Foreign Affairs blog;

"There are ever-increasing rumours around the Middle East that the invasion of Iraq might not have been an overwhelming success."

[Baader]

Mystic Mackay has also predicted there could be a worldwide economic slump "in the next couple of years."

I'm sure such a thing would never exist. Luminaries such as Gary McYam would never allow themselves to be involved in such a thing, with a ridiculous military hat on for instance.

[Phil D. Rolls]

But I think we're now at the stage where certain people at the club really have to become answerable for what is happening.

:cough: It's you and your mates who are responsible. :cough:

Can't believe that GM didn't take the trouble to watch a replay of Michael Stewart making an ass of himself. I certainly did - not once, not twice, not three times, not four times, not five times, not six times but SEVEN times. :cool2:

The only other place anyone other than teachers gets called "Mr" is on Coronation Street. It is supposed to portray old fashioned, decent, respectful attitudes.

Romanov has also been called "the Great Man" on KB in the past. A lot of Yams are nothing more than clerks.

[Ozyhibby]

I would say that Mackay is equally responsible with Foulkes for bringing in Vlad. His Hate campaign against Chris Robinson, (who at least had a plan to get the club out of debt) made his position untenable. Was it not Mackay who went over to Lithunia to meet Vlad and came back endorsing his takeover?

Dearie me, Dode and McFud, the self appointed "voices of Hearts".

He was right in the middle of the whole thing. If he had any decency he'd keep his trap shut, because what has happened with Vlad has shown that he is out of his depth when it comes to anything that needs brain power.

Maybe he'd be better trying his hand at management. He has in depth experience of running a team on the edge of extinction from his days at Airdrie.

Andy Walker said in his television commentary that it was very harsh on the player – and, if he's saying it was the wrong decision, then it must have been because Andy has never been the biggest fan of Hearts.

Dunno what he's concerned about. If the yams overspend then the club just ends up owing more dosh to Ukio Bankas. And we all know by now that means that you just end up owing money to yourself, and that's not really debt is it?

So long as you don't take them as hand luggage - I'm sure that that much pish would be well over the liquids allowance.

[Barney McGrew]

Lithuanians don't come free remember.

You have to pay a 'registration fee' to acquire one. Usually several hundred thousand pounds that you can hide away in the annual accounts (when you finally get round to producing any accounts).

I'm sure that Mackay and Foulkes must wake up every morning with a warm glow inside knowing that they were the ones who were responsible for bringing the supreme leader to Tynecastle.

But you are paying that fee to yourself, it;s all Yamenomics which us peg selling docksiders are just too thick to understand, Mr Romanov has it all in hand, did you not see all those boxes that went in with the application for the new stand, so it's all ok remember...and remember to wear your ruskie hat at all times...

Thread over on Kickback about Vlad lording it up as his Kaunus basketball team beat CSKA of Moscow. Mixing with the great and the good is where Vlad wants to be. It don't matter if its through Basketball, football or business.

What's the chances of him turning HOMOFC into a basketball club and making them a feeder-team for Zalgris.

Fair exchange most Lithuanians would say. :agree: :agree: :agree:

[Baader]

The Gorgie Farm Trotters sounds good. To be fair, Vlad is more likely to see a better standard of football watching his basketball team than his brawling Desperados. The ball is on the deck more with the Zalgirls than you'll see from the Marooned ones.

Very soon, mad Vlad and co. will be gone – and an investigation by Interpol and the Serious Fraud Office will force a change of ownership. Plus, there are five parties willing to invest in Hearts in summer 2010.

Must have been the traffic jams they were causing that held them up on Sunday!!

Do they find lying to themselves helps do you think?

Given the conpsiracies we've has here when people have actually been trying to do the right thing for the club I'd imagine we'd have been invading Lithuani by now were it us.

[Dr What If?]

Ok £1k per fan, 1/2 million fans (all, I assume with a spare £1k in the kitty). That means the Jambos have a potential warchest of £500m!!
Heck, and assuming that Vlad was the best financial option for them (must have even more money than that to invest)....no wonder they expect to win the Champlions league - with that kind of money they could buy a small island and enter the world cup.

[brog]

That probably explains why Obua was signed, got his sports wrong!!

I was listening to it as well, though was half asleep at the time. Seem to remember they had him on because he's involved with some charity or organisation to do with improving literacy levels. It was something to do with Hearts as well, because he said that it was ideally aimed at helping just Hearts supporters.

[bawheid]

Although literacy improvement is clearly required for the majority of Jambos, I would have thought concentrating on numeracy skills would have more benefit in the short term.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Unfortunately, after Interpol have had a go there won't be anything left to buy, creditor will foreclose immediately and the mighty Jambos will be no more.. Now I'm sure I had a dream like that not long ago :wink:

[surreyhibbie]

I'm sure someone said that basketball is a far bigger draw over there than football.

About a week ago a Yam I know (I know, I know, but he's there on the corner every day and he assures me he only wants the money to get himself something to eat) told me they had Antipenko lined up to come to Tynie in January - reckoned he was a real prospect.

Seems to me that there are TWO lessons there for the Jambolinos - one, guys would rather go to Siberia than play for them, and two, football teams that aren't run properly end up selling all their players cut-price and then go to the wall.... :devil:

Speaking of 5Live - I know its nothing new, but anyone notice over the weekend how during each sports bulletin, their only mention of the SPL was to report that 'nothing changed at the top, with the top 2 both winning'. Top 2? Why not report that the top 4 won? Or that Hibs' unbeaten run continued to keep us within two point of the top?

Going by 5Live's reporting, you'd think Rantic were miles ahead of the rest. I know that to them Scottish football begins and ends with the Old Firm, but you'd think that it being so close at the top for once would merit a mention.

I remember a few years ago listening to the radio in my car whilst driving through London and the reporter said after the SPL results.....and I quote, Celtic remain top with Rangers 3rd. No mention of who was 2nd, unbeleivable!! (although it was Hearts so not too bothered).

[TheBall'sRound]

Incidentally I noticed that it's Open Letter to Mr Romanov season on 15pointsback.co.uk :thumbsup:


Dear Mr Romanov,

Do you remember those glorious days in 2005 and 2006 when the crowd chanted your name. When the fans saw you as a messiah and such optimism gripped everyone who called Hearts their own team. The SFA and the old firm were scared for the first time since the 80s. The word believe was the right word for the time and we all did. You joked we would win the champions league in five years time, win the SPL regularly, have no debt, have a stadium to be proud of and pay huge fees for top players.

Well its five years since the beginning of that and we have gone in the opposite direction. The fans optimism has turned to depression and pessimism.
We are struggling against teams we should beat, playing players who look disinterested, football that is frustrating and soul-destroying to watch. Talented youngsters are left off the team sheets and made to stagnate while players who have been brought in get to keep playing despite having no hunger or even better talent and continue to play poorly, they simply playing because they are "experienced." Now quite a bit of the blame lies at Csaba laszlo's door for this but I think you have to accept a lot of responsibility for what is currently happening at Heart of Midlothian Football Club. And this letter comes from someone who supported you until a few months ago when I realised the club I love is destroying itself from the inside.

Signed

Jamboinglasgow

A keeker, I'm sure you'll agree

Just noticed he wrote more further down!


Vladimir, I feel the need to tell of the bits about hearts that make me worry. First of all, debt. I know your son Roman said a few years ago that we shouldn't worry about the debt because your bank owns it but sorry it does worry me. First of all in interest payments. The debt costs Hearts every month. This debt is also like a sword hanging above our head, Tynecastle can no longer cover our debt so we are insolvent. This scares me as it means that Hearts will go completely out of business. It also hampers Hearts chances in the future. We need to be run to a profit, I know you are trying to achieve that but it needs to be seen in the next accounts. We also need to see the level of the debt going down. If Hearts want to be seen as being a great team once again the debt needs to go.

Which brings me to one solution to bring us into profit, the academy. I know you are a great fan of the academy. So am I and watch most of the U19 games. I have seen talent among our young players. We have the potential to be the best in Scotland at producing young talent and in particular Scottish talent. A team can be built out of this and if the academy is kept at the best, constantly improving so never to fall behind, then it can provide such benefit to the years to come. Young players need to play though and they need to be allowed to do it in a team, with some experenced players. But I also ask that they kept in the team and allowed to benefit the team and only sold when there is a replacement for them ready from the academy or able to be brought in. Great academies can make great clubs, look all over Europe.

Cue the look that the slow kids in class got just as something simple started to make sense....

Dreamers.

I'm seeing a wee teddy bear with two maroon eyepatches on his heid and a puzzled expression on his big moon face.

The caption "Remember Fugly the Bear this Christmas Time" underneath and, in children's alphabet building blocks, the phrase "Jambos in Need" above.

Forgot to add - I love the below quote.

Apparently Mikey Stewart only has a reputation as a useless, ginger
*****ebag because ref's get pished and talk about it at their "social events", not because Mikey Stewart is - in fact - a hot headed, useless, ginger *****ebag.

Says A bitter Yam Fudley:

"The referee played no small part in the defeat and you have to look at one or two issues. Footballers, simply because of the nature of the game and everything that goes along with it, will socialise together and, by the same token, referees will also socialise together.

Sometimes players' reactions can work against them because referees will maybe talk about things away from games and Michael Stewart has maybe suffered because of that"

[lapsedhibee]

football teams that aren't run properly end up selling all their players cut-price and then go to the wall.... :devil:

When you say 'go to the wall', you will of course have in mind a certain relegation-haunted angryam's impeccable demonstration of how to slide full speed on one's erkie into a boundary wall surrounding the pitch.

Is angryam a proper yamasaurus word yet? Wonder how that might be concisely defined? :hmmm: I might put forward an entry something like male as twitcher and link to a short movie clip of a barely suppressed punch at a Hamilton Academical - that should do it.

Hearts are our city rivals and they are a shambles, a countrywide joke, it is our duty as Hibby's to rip the pash out of them at any given opportunity.

I see no evidence of paranoia or insularity here. Just a general outbreat of hilarity at the shambles over the road. If you don't like threads related to laughing at our biggest rivals then don't read them. .

I think the number of people viewing the threads should answer your question. It's just a bit of fun.

I can believe that is true in every walk of life. For example, people working in finance often socialise together, and it is perhaps inevitable that they talk about which companies are in the sh*t financially. Maybe Hearts are suffering as a result of that.

I couldn't agree more, and I like to take part, especially when I am at Tynecastle watching the horror unfold (as I will be this Saturday - that promises to be a fun afternoon), but it doesn't look too clever to have thread after thread about the yams when surely a couple of biggies will suffice.

It's not a major gripe, however. Not looking for an argument.

Yes. I was speaking with Gary Mackay just the other day, as the conversation rumbled on, he let me in on the little known fact; that bears 5hit in the woods.

He was saying the other day that Pope may have a problem joining the Orange Lodge. Where does he get all this information!

I understand that Gary has just heard about some Wall being built in Berlin and he's very upset at the American President being assassinated.

This oracle of information is not available to mere mortals, much less Hobos, but it also gave Mr McKay the nugget of information that Roman Polanski may not be entirely well received on US soil and that George W Bush only just failed his MENSA entrance exam, and only then for spelling his own name wrong :agree:

[Phil D. Rolls]

Who wouldn't be, Gary shows he has the common touch with his down home wisdom. Apparently he's none too happy about the tram situation, he doesn't know how people will get to work if they stop running them.

[The Voice Of Reason]

I actually know Gary pretty well. In a recent chat he was warning me that there is every chance that the Titanic may strike an iceberg and sink.

Given how wise Gary is, I headed straight for the nearest Ladbrokes and tried to put a bet on that happening....but the guy behind the counter looked at me strangely, laughed and refused to take my bet. :grr:

He is a wise man is Gary likes. :agree:

So says Sea Captain McKay, and he was wearing a submarine commander's hat at the time, and who can say "no"* to someone in such apparel??




* = Apart from Dundee and Dunfermline obviously :cool2:

[lapsedhibee]

I understand that Gary has just heard about some Wall being built in Berlin and he's very upset at the American President being assassinated.

:agree: He admired the fact that the President chewed every piece of his food thirty six times, without any of it falling out of his mouth in that time. I think Gary was hoping to learn how to do that himself (not the counting up to thirty six, which even he realised would be beyond him, but the keeping the trap shut for such a long period).

Not so fast, there, young man.

Brown bears, black bears and grizzly bears do indeed defecate in forested wilderness areas, but POLAR BEARS do not. Leave a nice selection of tasty scraps in your wheelie-bin, and ursus arctus maritimus will happily crap on your doorstep.

Brown, black and grizzly bears do indeed **** in the woods in summer-time, but in winter, while hibernating, they neither crap nor pee.

And giant pandas, who are also bears, live among the bamboo groves, but bamboo groves aren't woods. Bamboo is a type of grass.

Just so's we all know exactly what we're talking about... :devil:



PS: I have no information at all regarding the toilet habits of the present Bishop of Rome....


PPS: A panda goes into a bar.

Two of the customers are having a raging argument.

"Pandas are bears!" says the first.

"They're raccoons!" says the second.

"Bears!"

"Raccoons!"

"Bears!"

"Raccoons!"

"Bears!"

"Raccoons!"

"BEARS!"

"RACCOONS!"

Then they see the panda, leaning on the bar, having a quiet drink.

"You're just the guy we need," says the first guy. "Tell me, are you a bear, or are you some kind of great big raccoon?"

The panda thinks for a moment....


.... and another moment....



.... and ANOTHER moment....




.... and says....





"It's hard to say. These things are never black and white...."

During a recent episode of Time Team, where they were investigating some very strange things that were strangely in need of Tony Robinson underneath an unamed public house down in Gorgie, a strange manuscript was uncovered, written what looked very like one of those old school jotters, in a hand almost unreadable and undecipherable to the modern man, perhaps written in his own excrement, it has finally been translated to say the following by the exotic languages department at Jewel & Esk, written by a gentleman who is now known, by his one fan, as the Bard o'Gorgie....

"Aye, Gar-e Mahkeye, doth proclaim (dammit, canny use yon word), err, foretell thee of thy following, uhm, things:

A man shall commeth, he o the pie stall (ah like mine wie gravy by the way), an lo and behold, he shaleth doest wonders, and lo, thon legendary Petric will play wi thy Kneel McCann, an all will be well....

Thread over on Kickback about Vlad lording it up as his Kaunus basketball team beat CSKA of Moscow. Mixing with the great and the good is where Vlad wants to be. It don't matter if its through Basketball, football or business.

What a revelation from gary eh.Just as well he has his finger on the pulse.The one man who knows best of all is well out of it and thats charlie mann whose back at radio scotland.He probably knows best of all whats happening there but either wont or cant say due to a confidentiality clause they all seem to have to sign when they escape from stalag pbs.They really do live on a different planet and you cant feel any sympathy or them when they are so deluded about their team and are totally detached from reality.
There do realise generally they are goosed but seem to think its better to run away from it and pretend than to face what is coming sooner or later.Im so glad i support hibs and can see reality and face it.Now lets have a wee look at the league tables.yep still third and i see were 15 points ahead of the team in seventh.Cant see the the so called big team anywhere in the top half,surely a mistake there,must be another one of their conspiracies.But of course they play the new style of football with 6 midfielders and no strikers which of course means loads of goals.they have scored the huge amount of 13.Surely thats not right either.Fantasy against reality.They just get a wee bit blurred down tynecastle way. :greengrin
