Just heard her on Sportsound. Asked about funding for the new stand she was far from convincing about the finance. She sounded more hopeful than confident. I'm gonna by shares in baking products.

As I posted on Friday, they are toiling to raise the funds and I think she was also being very optimistic regards the suites being kitted out in January.

I thought she meant she liked watching his train. Potter got him a train set. Potter wears his fat controller uniform. Father dougal sits in the middle of the track making train noises whilst budgie rocks back and forth in her rocking chair

Don't think she is cash strapped but I think the reality has hit home that she may be required to haemorrhage more of her personal fortune to keep the show on the road. The business model is failing.

They could have built that proper, genuinely impressive stand Vlad proposed and their stadium overall would still be miles and miles inferior to Easter Road. Alas for them, it's another single tier tin can stand to complete their single tier tin can of a stadium. An utter dump.

Don't think she is cash strapped but I think the reality has hit home that she may be required to haemorrhage more of her personal fortune to keep the show on the road. The business model is failing.

Alternatively it will be a nice little earner for her when they can't find the money and can't borrow it anywhere else. She'll be able to charge 6.2% interest on the missing £3m which will help with the running costs of her private yacht.

Of course, she's not stupid and will be aware that the only way to make a small fortune in football is to start with a large fortune. So she'll only provide enough cash for a basic version of the final product and that will cost more overall when the cake sales finally raise enough to pay for the next stage.

January might be significant so she can sell Paterson if he's fit.

I reckon the January reference will be regarding the start of the final stage of fitting out the interior of the stand, fixtures and fittings, hospitality suites etc..... The money might not be in place for that stage yet, so they'll have an empty shell with seats and turnstiles by then.

The club who sign him next will be liable for the development fee and surely that won't happen until he is fit. So he could be wageless and clubless for some time - aaah, shame.

[Col2]

Got to love Queen Ann.

She patronises the masses who are paying for the running of the club and a chunk of the new stand through FOH contributions.

She says in last weeks statement that she welcomes back Hibs and even when we lose a Derby it's great to be involved in it (totally missing the do or die nature of that fixture).

Today she said she had seen Cathros training and was impressed and after all the players clearly love him.

She reminds the fans that this a big week for fund raising as the club have a financial shortfall.

The fans boo the players of the park and a handful of them stay for lap of honour which doesn't happen.

Tomorrow it's the fans chance to pay £15 to witness how a training session is planned and executed with Cathro and co - you really couldn't make it up

And on 21st May, yes 21st May fans have the chance to hand over £25 in return a bacon roll and chance to (presumably) walk around the old stand (damp carpets, calor gas heaters, funny smell and all) AND listen to Scott Wilson with some 5-1, big team, Rudi nonsense.

WHAT A TIME TO BE A HIBS FAN.

They will get one, but it'll be hen another team signs him. If somebody signs him in the summer then they'll get it then, but he'll not be fit any time soon so there's a good chance nobody will sign him yet. If nobody signs him until January then they'll not get the money until then.

Lots of capital sloshing about looking for a 6% return. Clever Budgie has made sure that she's the one that benefits from the Yam subs and not some other investor.

She also gets to play at running a football club - I guess this was fun when everyone was hailing her as the saviour, but it might become less enjoyable soon.

I don't see it that way. Surely the Yam subs are being made for the purpose of buying shares in the club - when done and dusted she won't own any of the club, the fans will (or are at least supposed to). Her investment will have disappeared.

Interesting to read some yams think Walker was actively looking to get banned (ending his own season)

And the new stand funding has had its financial shortfall reduced from £6m to £3m, though much of this has not come from FoH...but some hearts fans now noticing this coincides with Hearts getting compensation for Neilson, crawford, Muirhead, maybe juanma, Ozturk, rherras rossi etc.

But come October he will be above the age for Hearts to get any development fee. So anyone can wait until then and get him for nowt once that time arrives (he might not be fit until then anyway).

Regarding Budge, I doubt she is rolling in cash, given she loaned the money with interest added. She is a genuine person, imo, but getting out of her depth in an area she knew nothing about.

I'm sure you're right about her keeping control but it will be a bit messy I'm sure - didn't they recently reluctantly hand over a tranche of shares?

According to https://www.foundationofhearts.org/we-are/

"A legally binding agreement was put in place between Bidco and the Foundation which will deliver ultimate fan ownership – via the Foundation - over an anticipated five-year period of time. "

That was in 2014.

It also says that £3M of their money will be used for working capital and the rest to buy the club. It looks to me that it could be tough luck for AB if all the money has to be used for running costs.

I think it was always a £ 12 million project,

http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/hearts-unveil-plans-for-new-12-million-main-stand-1-4116908

I think that was under estimated, and given the " financial surprises " that have appeared I may be right.

It has cost well over £ 1 million for the shop, ticket office , changing rooms under the Wheatfield Stand , about £ 400,00 for the purchase of the old offices owned by Chris Stewart, design fees must be well past the £ 500,000, and steel prices to a huge upward hike since the estimates.

Isn't Patterson only 22? I think the compensation runs to players 23 and under. Not totally sure though.
Walker wants away though and he only has a year to go on his contract. They have to take what they get for him this summer or he leaves for free next summer as he is 24.
I know most don't agree but I think Patterson, Walker and Nicholson are the 3 best players they have and their biggest goal threats so I'm delighted that they are all leaving for next to nothing.

I think you are right about that. I had seen it mentioned (EEN?) a while ago and took it at face value. But he is only 22, turns 23 in October, so compensation would be due.

I'd agree with that bit, and I can see them going through 3-4 years minimum of the same frustrations we had from 2007 to 2014 i.e. having to watch high quality youngsters go elsewhere (and often come back to haunt you), but then the transfer funds being gobbled up by non-footballing costs (like stadium costs) meaning there's nothing like a like-for-like re-investment in the team, and instead of Scott Brown and Derek Riordan you're resigning yourself to watching Matt Thornhill and Rowan Vine.

They won't see the quality of Walker and Patterson for a while (unless they develop them themselves) Looking at the development league table, that's a long shot

I think the details of one of Mrs Budge's " financial surprises " may have appeared.


https://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/idoxpa-web/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=OPORGYEWKG900


A planning application has just been submitted to our Council for the strengthening of the bund walls that surround the storage tanks in the adjacent distillery . There had been plans for putting splash guards on top of the existing stone wall, but this has not been sufficient for the Health and Safety Executive and some serious strengthening works to the wall are now required.

About 80 metres of walling now needs new reinforced wall panels about 3 metres high set on new massive concrete foundations along its full length.

Nothing impossible , but I'd guess an extra cost of £300,000 or more to the budget.

Better get the cake bakers and face painters primed for extra shifts. :greengrin

About 80 metres of walling now needs new reinforced wall panels about 3 metres high set on new massive concrete foundations along its full length.

Nothing impossible , but I'd guess an extra cost of £300,000 or more to the budget.

Better get the cake bakers and face painters primed for extra shifts. :greengrin

Surely a giant Battenburg will suffice?

They could do the job themselves and would have no trouble getting this past the council who have already been supportive over the site.

I think the details of one of Mrs Budge's " financial surprises " may have appeared.

This work is the requirement of the Health and Safety Executive, Hazardous Sites Division based in Bootle, Lancashire.

I don't think they will be swayed by a couple of passes to the Willie Bauld lounge.

Are there any caspian primroses in Bootle? Otherwise they might have a problem :wink:

Yep, it's all about minimising harm in a worst case scenario ie if the tanks go bang, so the cost is not a consideration to HSE who will have provided the specs.

Ah well, sure Budge and co can find that extra dosh no problem.

Have they started to knock down the old stand yet? I reckon they'll uncover lots of problems under that thing.

My guess is an underground well, 100 ft deep and full of Foulkes dribbling saliva.

[Borderhibbie76]

Now where's that recipe for a big Victoria sponge gone ... 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Budge won't be stupid enough to hand over control of the club until she's got her loans repaid. Until then the Save Hearts In Trouble money will be used for the repayments and the fans won't own anything.

Unless she cuts her losses, it can only cost her more in the long run

Years of pishing his breeks will have increased the level to over 200' deep

Subsidence caused by the sheer weight of all the expenses paid lunches will definitely be a factor in the area where he sits

More FOH money required?

Fan ownership even further away.

How deep are your pockets my Jambo friends?

Payback. Them getting ripped instead of local businesses and charities

[Col2]

There is a thread on kickback about cancelling FOH subs. Most are shouted down from the usual suspects but some are asking questions around the overall governance and recent communications from FOH.

Originally it was about Fan ownership but more recent communications and publicity from FOH and HOMFC is around contributing for life. A few are waking up to Ms Budge (Her club and her way mentality).

One boy cancelled his DD after saying he spent £120 on four tickets for Derby replay and also his £60 monthly donation came off the same week. He felt his £180 hard earned didn't get value for money that particular week 😂🙃😉

Bootle is in Liverpool.

christ, next it will be personalised socks, sovi rings or bog roll, suppose the scarf can pass for the latter

[Dibben]

I might order a scarf with 'This is worth 5 fairy cakes' printed on it!!

[bubblesmorrison]

Can we get one with ram yer 1902!

Is this the begging bowl out again?

That is so tacky! Is it honestly worth losing your integrity for a few quid?

No it isn't.

It's in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton in the former County of Merseyside.

That's like saying Salford is in Manchester.

It ought to be mind!

Any idea if cheap synthetic twirls faster, or is more aerodynamic than wool?

I think we're at the beginning of another end unless another Romanov type Figure needs some believers to help him out with a bit of money laundering again.

As a Man City fans are never shy of telling anyone, Man U are the biggest club in Salford!!

That can't be real surely. If it is then it really does sum them up.

Excluding the East of Scotland Shield or Texaco Cup I would double any offer for Medals Mackay medals

Happy to stretch to £2 mill for his League Winner's medal from 1986.

I know it's a lot of money but it was a priceless occasion :agree:

Does £2m include Scottish Cup winners medal from the same season or is that extra?

Definitely extra.

Clinching the league was an achievement in itself, but not doing the 'double bottle' against the Dons deserves its own recognition.

They truly are Famous.
