Whit ye talking about? They've got full ownership of the club with zero debt. A still yet to be finished stand with loads of restricted view seats. Facilities with a castle view. Chips... and a Plaza/Piazza/Wasted parking space. What more could they possibly want for their money?Quote:

Problem is, absolutely none of that is going to happen in the foreseeable. What they've sunk into the club since they escaped death, for the return they've got so far... Karma! Instead of stealing other peoples money, it's been coming out of their own pockets. They've been paying through the nose since Vlads famous 'Share Issue', only to see it s****ed away in spectacular fashion by a 'PHM Legend' and an Astute Business Guru.Quote:

2996 Hibs fans in attendance. The cordoned off areas looked quite big right enough, but that seems a pretty low “capacity” for the Roseburn Stand on a derby.

BBC has it at 19,313Quote:

Although I still don’t think they’ll go down, unfortunately. Budge and the benefactors are going to throw all sorts of cash at it in January to try and fix the squad.
22 games without a Hibs victory. Imagine that! It was a horrible time to be a Hibee and was preceded by another period when we went something like 17 games without a victory. Apologies if the facts are not 100% correct as I've erased the mental scars and don't want to reopen them.Quote:

They’re not in a false position.

They are correct. Think I saw every game😳Quote:

They don't know they are born the younger generation and it explains why I was still concerned yesterday until about 88 mins when he thought it was a schooshQuote:

Last two seasons second bottom of the SPL finished Partick with 33 points 2017/18 and then St Mirren on 32 points last season. So, going by previous two seasons that mob need another twenty one points with eighteen games left to go to possibly finish up in the relegation play off. Herr Stendel will need to work a small miracle with that team to win twenty odd pointsQuote:

They have only 13 games before the split, 5 of thise games are Aberdeen twice, Celtic, Rangers and Hibs. I think they still have to play Hamilton again.Quote:

We built a Japanese website to meet the *massive demand* for Hearts house-coats in East Asia.
In 2014 I’m sure we literally just had to win one game for a good few weeks and it just never came. Not a good place to be.Quote:

At Hearts, Meshino will have the opportunity to further develop his skills on the pitch while impressing the fans with his ability. He will learn, grow and prosper in Edinburgh and it is an honour to have this special talent in Scotland, and at Hearts.
The above is from hearts Japanese website😶

We've finished above them in the league every year since we were promoted.
FACT.
And were a better side for the 2 seasons before that as well.Quote:

By the time we won the cup in 2016 he was fairly battle hardened for a 9 year old and had earned his spurs.Quote:

Nearly 30 grand a week for those three alone. THIRTY GRAND.
To put that in perspective, the ticket money for the whole Hibs end on Thursday wouldn’t have paid their three wages for three weeks.
I believe the phrase they use is ‘pleasing’:cb
