John said he was completely devastated by his dads death and was fairly upset by Hibs demands at that point when all he wanted to do was bury his dad! And the rest, as they say ... is history!

Sketchy at best but that is my recollection.

Never heard that one.

I thought it was to do with Turnbull not giving Robertson money to buy new boots, Robbo's Dad took the hump and advised him not to sign for Hibs.

Nope, that was Strachan, I think it was something to do with Bertie Auld not thinking he wasn't good enough, along with quite a few others at that time, Levien and Willie Pettigrew I think.

I think they must have picked that information up from Hibs Net.

Once again the posters on this Messageboard are away ahead of the game!

:hnet:

Lol true more believable than anything them lot say any way

Hearts just released a statement claiming over £500,000 has been raised via the shares so far. Brilliant......MUGS the lot of them. :greengrin

So just £1.25 million to go.....................................in cash of course. :yw::lolyam:

Wonder where that'll end up. :greengrin

Mr Romanov will be delighted with his wee win fall!

But that means they have only invested £1.25 each ....... do they not have 400,000 fans? :greengrin
Also saw on soccer am earlier saying they tried to buy some shares but would only accept cash. That to me is distinctly dodgy. Cash payments can disappear. Only saying likes :wink:

I thought they needed £2m to get them through the season, and that was before the 2 tax bill's :confused:

I am surprised its only £500k. Momentum has dropped over past few days and with the foundation clowns entering the scene then they will be lucky if they get another £250k.

Still £500k will pay for this moths wages and a wee bit towards the income tax bill!!! ONLY if MISTER Romanov doesn't trouser it himself!!

He showed class against his adopted team when Mercer was trying to kill us and for that reason alone he will always have my admiration. However the vast majority of them were already dancing on our grave and subsequently have shown no class in the years that followed the Mercer takeover bid and for that reason I can't show the same compassion the the wee man showed, I just want them dead and buried.

Definitely how I recall it - Oh, and Robbo was a hibby in his school days played in the same team as my Brother, and David Bowman........

The share issue was intended to raise £1.79 million, they are going to be nowhere near that.

They have a lot of cash to collect between now and Dec 19th (I think it is). :greengrin

Just read the interview with McGlynn and he admitted that he couldn't tell the interviewer when the players wages would actually be paid. He said it could be 6 or 8 weeks.

It may be that Vlad/Fedotovas has persuaded them to wait for payment until Hearts have enough left over from paying their other liabilities (tax bills, etc). So, if they haven't scraped up enough to pay the wages by the next payment date in December, they then might get paid in January. This really is a hand to mouth existence for them now and they're really relying on the share issue, advance ticket sales and the fans' collection buckets.

And if that's the case a player revolt must be on the cards. Deferring wages for a week or two is one thing but that length of time is something else entirely

TBF they said they sold out their end. I dunno how many St mirren fans were there. Some were boycotting due to increased prices.
