Which Club Would You Like To See Go Bust?

[One Day Soon]

Inspired by the antics of Real Madrid relating to Mbappe as discussed on the transfer thread, which of the chronically financially incontinent clubs would you most like to see go bust and why? Try to avoid picking our Gorgie neighbours, that's just too easy.

[JXM73]

None

[KeithTheHibby]

The huns every time.

[matty_f]

The Rangers, was hilarious first time round, would be even funnier if it happened again.

[Steve20]

None. Pathetic wanting football supporters to lose their club.

[One Day Soon]

It's a really tough choice but I think I'm going to have to go Real Madrid. Genuinely asking for it.

[One Day Soon]

None. Pathetic wanting football supporters to lose their club.

Yes, because these clubs that do go bust NEVER come back as zombie clubs for the fans to support again...

[BILLYHIBS]

The Rangers

[PatHead]

Torn between Sevco and Hearts.

Can I be greedy and want both?

A couple of the big English clubs would be a laugh.

[Lago]

None

[Greencore]

Hawrts

It's not when the club in question is an unwanted stain on the entire nation to the point that it's become an issue at governmental level. I absolutely hope that Sevco go bust again.

[hibee316]

None.

Definitely not Hearts.

Not even The Rangers.

[Smartie]

The Sevco franchise 2012.

Scotland would be a much better place without them and what they stand for.

I'm with you on your first two choices :agree:

[Magpie]

St Johnstone.

[One Day Soon]

St Johnstone.

I can only admire the vindictive nature of your choice.

[superfurryhibby]

I'd quite like to see the whole TV based mega league deals all go tits up. The fall out would be just desserts for many of the clubs that inhabit them.

I can honestly say I don’t sit here wishing teams would go bust. I’d have varying amounts of sympathy should teams go bust but I don’t actively want it to happen.

[Lendo]

This is a very Kickback type of thread.

Also, none.

[One Day Soon]

I think I'm going to ask for all the Red Bull franchises to be taken into consideration too.

[Pretty Boy]

Rangers.

**** their fans. I'd take great delight in them losing their poisonous phoenix club in the same way they lost the poisonous original.

[jacomo]

I’d love Real Madrid to go bust with F Perez at the helm.

Would be funny to see "Rangers 2012, the Sevco years" go the same way as their predecessors..

[lord bunberry]

Forfar let me down for a few quid on Saturday and for that they’ve must go.

[Jim44]

None. Pathetic wanting football supporters to lose their club.

There are football supporters and football supporters but frankly I wouldn’t give a toss if Rangers went tits up. 90% of them don’t support the football club ....... they support a bigoted, religious ideal. In the interest of a balanced view, Celtic are not far behind.

Celtic aren't in any way perfect, but like everyone else in Scotland, they are nowhere near the level of those self-entitled Govan w*****s....

I didn’t think the thread was posted as being entirely serious.

I am in wanting Sevco, Hearts and some English teams.😁

[He's here!]

I wouldn't really care how they disappeared from my life but I'd happily see Hearts cease to exist. I've never bought into the 'but we'd miss the derby' argument. As far as I'm concerned they bring nothing to the table and the world would simply be a better place without them. If I had the ability to banish them from existence right now I'd use it.

Wallace Mercer was absolutely correct about having one club in Edinburgh. He chose the wrong one though. If Hearts disappeared tomorrow I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Pretty puerile thread....but there's plenty that seem to take pleasure in others misfortune.
Any club that lives out with its means though should like any other business go belly up mind

[Wakeyhibee]

None, for reasons already mentioned. However, would have no problem with teams like Barca, City etc who overspend have a rough ride into mediocrity getting their house in order whilst other so called smaller teams get a shot at domestic trophies & Europe.

[ozhibs]

I would love the EPL Tele deal to go bust
And I also definitely like to see the ****bos and the Huns Togo bust

[Bangkok Hibby]

Very strange thread. Like being back in school.
Apart from that comment I'll pass.

[One Day]

Hope the Hearts fan ownership goes horribly wrong, and, if they don't go bust at least suffer very badly

[Stanton Spence]

None

After Mercer there was only one choice for me. :brokenyam::lolyam::titanic::jamboclow

[Keith_M]

Manchester City ...or Chelsea... or PSG

...or any of the other recently dominant clubs being backed by Russian Oligarchs or Arab Sheiks.



You can add Real Madrid and Barcelona to that list. Two clubs that are incredibly successful in Europe, despite being in an obscene level of debt that should bar them under the FFP rules.



p.s I'd have no issue with these clubs then re-appearing in a form that didn't include masses of dodgy money from abroad or ridiculous levels of over-spending.

[Greenbeard]

How much stronger a club would Hibs be if Hearts disappeared tomorrow? It would probably be close to a generation before support showed a significant increase and even then, to what extent would Hibs benefit financially? I can only get to the odd midweek game so am not an ST holder and even at the mo it's not so easy getting "pay-as-you-go" tickets for games, even though when you get there there are plenty empty seats. Obviously we would benefit to some extent, but I'm not convinced we'd be selling out League Cup games vs Alloa. Or would you see us moving to a new 40,000 soul-less stadium outside the City Bypass? Not for me ta.

[Ringothedog]

[WeeRussell]

After reading the transfer thread I am genuinely surprised no one has said Hibs.
Quite a few support Hibs in a Celtic way, away that was condemned not so long ago.
Just buy another teams player, condemn the team if we don’t .
Bunch of fannies don’t know how to support a club.

Come on, you're not genuinely surprised.

Also, in a thread full of quite strong and strange posts.. this one is up there :greengrin

[Magpie]

Have St Johnstone been liquidated yet?

[CloudSquall]

Hearts, I live abroad so I don't have to pretend that I don't ****ing hate everything about them.

[One Day Soon]

Have St Johnstone been liquidated yet?

I feel pretty strongly about their anti-football but I can't honestly say I share your enthusiasm for their eradication. On the other hand seeing Cosgrove's face would definitely make it worthwhile. **** it, I'm in.

[Northernhibee]

Millwall.

[vahibbie]

100% this.
Might not cause any club to actually fail but would even the playing field for a lot of other teams. Would also limit the outrageous transfer fees and obscene salaries.
Failing that just the Huns😀

[Ringothedog]

None, there is nothing better than beating a team that you despise from the whole of your being. I would not want to miss that feeling by any club going bust

[Greenbeard]

The cororally is that there is nothing worse than losing to a team you despise with the whole of your being.
Maybe football would be more enjoyable if there was less hatred so strongly immersed in the game. Maybe Hibs should take the lead and become Scotland's loving club with the motto "Love Thy Opposition". Then when you lose to them you'll be less inclined to be upset, maybe even be pleased for them that they beat Hibs. Go on, make a start and make this the day that you hug a Jambo just for being a Jambo.

I don't enjoy derbys. Anyone who does is mental in my opinion. Only enjoy them when we win but have to endure 90 mins of stress and anxiety first. If we lose it annoys me until the next derby. Nah, get Hearts in the bin.

Why would anyone want to see a team ,go bust ?

[Peevemor]

Why would anyone want to see a team ,go bust ?When teams knowingly overspend over a long period, accumulating debts they they have no hope of ever repaying (running to 10s or 100s of millions of pounds), I don't necessarily want to see them survive.

[Jones28]

The football bubble that sees headline like “transfer fees drop but English clubs still top a billion pounds”: I’d see that go bust.


Or Falkirk, they can **** off.

[jgl07]

The fact is that Hearts and Rangers have both effectively gone bust but are still here. Celtic came within 24 hours of being wound up before the Fergus McCann takeover. Airdrieonians were also liquidated but remain in the SPFL, admittedly as the ghosts of Clydebank. I suspect that Leeds United did go bust under Ken Bates but retained their league position.

I hate to spoil it for some on here but Chelsea and Manchester City are not going bust. Neither club has any appreciable debts. Both are profitable, pandemic aside, and are financially well run and live with their means. The clubs with severe debts are Spurs, Barcelona, Man United, Juventus, and Inter. And I don’t expect any of them to go bust either.

Some of the comments here are a thinly veiled wish-list of teams that some do not like or are jealous of.

The clubs in England most at risk are in the Championship and League One.

Motherwell and Dundee too. Think they went bust twice!

Lol. Chelsea and Man City don’t have appreciable debts because their owners have pumped in hundreds of millions. Neither club has lived anywhere near ‘within their means’. What if they want their money back?

For the avoidance of doubt, I’d love both of them to go under. Both are responsible for widening the divide between a rich elite and everyone else.

You’ve got the blinkers on because you support City… fair enough. But don’t expect everyone else to accept the ludicrous self-mythologising rubbish put out by them.

i'd quite enjoy seeing celtic go through what rangers did, and then rangers to follow suit shortly after.

Kilmarnock
Did one of their pies give you the runs or something? :greengrin

I have no hate in my heart for Kilmarnock, takes effort and to support the Killie when Ayrshire is host to buses populated by sectarian bampots heading to Ibrox and Parkhead every week ignoring the club on their doorstep that could do with their support. Same for anyone in the west who supports Motherwell, St Mirren, Morton or any of the once traditional west coast town teams who get squashed by the ugly sisters taking their fans.

I can see how that applies to Hearts.

I can't see how that applies to the Ugly Sisters, with their bigotry, terrorism and glory hunting fans sucking the lifeblood out of communities and local clubs all over Scotland.
