So either it was his idea or Budge’s, pretty big coincidence otherwise!

You think it was his idea to go to AB and suggest a pay cut? No chance. She’s told him, the same as the rest of the staff, to take a cut or bolt.

Stendal talks crap. He lies in pretty much every interview he does trying to say the right things to please Hearts fans.

He knew nowt about Scottish football but in his recent interview he’s saying how other Scottish clubs will have the same problems as Hearts, if not worse.

He can’t possibly know that. Even if it was true it’s a bit crap to be gloating about other clubs potentially having bigger financial problems.

I think we’ve probably heard the last from him anyways, he’ll not be back.

Aberdeen have released a statement detailing how severe this will be

Predictably the replies are from piles of Huns giving it big licks

Are they the stupidest ****s in world football?

This could take years for many of us to recover from.

It'll undoubtedly hit Hibs at some point, I hope we're well placed enough to survive it.

Hibs are maybe a bit fortunate that a few of our bigger earners are on loan, something which many of us didnt like but as luck would have it, will help.

Both dons and hearts pushed boat out at Christmas and signed big earners on big contracts, so not as easy to shed them.

That being said, if this goes on indefinitely it will absolutely hit all clubs, and i think only celtic would be able to ride it out over even a medium term period.

Here is Aberdeen official statement. They bring in similar amounts of turnover to us and Herts at similar times. Hope we're well placed but if not please do the necessary:

Their turnover is about 50% higher than ours.

The Rangers

They've graciously offered the use of the Albion Car Park to Army, Police and Staff at the 'nearby' Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.


What a gracious gesture, Allowing Staff from a hospital that is a 30 minute walk away to use a Car Park that is sitting empty anyway.

Incorrect. Their football side takes less than us but they had additional monies of £4m last season. They have their own Benny factor.😂

Not in Scotland but… elite Bundesliga clubs donate €20m between them to smaller clubs: https://en.onefootball.com/%F0%9F%9A...uggling-clubs/

Great interview with Graeme M here.
