4-0 now, looks like we shattered Motherwell last week and they've not recovered yet.

Looks like it is sinking home on kickback or an undercover Hibby is telling them as it is.
"The thing is, Hearts are not a Rangers, Celtic or Man U.
We do not have a huge fan base.
When The Pieman tried this, it raised about a quarter of a million if memory serves me correctly.
The fact the share issue is blatantly being used to cover the tax bill will have a negative effect.
We may have had 25,000 fans at Hampden in May means absolutely nothing. We have a regular attendance of about 11,000 fans. £100 of each of them will not cover what's required. Not everyone can afford this. Times are tough. Mortgages, fuel, feeding the family, heating and lighting are all on the increase. Wages are not keeping up with the increases.
If we had a massive fan base, I would understand this but we don't.
This tax bill could be the nail in the coffin for the club. The next late payment of wages will result in a points deduction. They know the transfer embargo means nothing. It's the next step on the pyramid. A points deduction will leave us in a relegation dogfight.
This will also lead to a fire sale in January. The only problem is that our most saleable assets are out of contract next summer. Any buyer will not pay top dollar for them.
I can't see how the share issue will work and have a sense of foreboding about this"
Maybe Hobonomics aren't pure c%%p after all!
My god. A Yam wi a bit o sense. Bet he's getting dogs abuse over there:greengrin :brokenyam:Quote:

Incredible that the truth is finally beginning to dawn on the Jambos. I really enjoyed reading Kickback today. :greengrin
Who are they going to get to build this super dooper Stadium??? Nae company will touch them.
Maybe Lego or nae that's just being silly.
I cannot wait till the taxman comes along and nails the door shut.
Fat Robbo on sportsound seemed confident enough that the yams situation is just like any other loan deal and that any tax burden would fall to Kaunas and not Hertz.
No idea if he is spraffing more in hope than anything else, but I have my fingers crossed for a HMRC victory on this one.
I would ignore his thoughts. The only things that wee twonk is good at these days is munching pies.Quote:

I would guess the nice folk at HMRC would be more likely to know that than a failed ex SPL manager and they seem to think Hertz have a case to answer to so i'm happy to go with them.Quote:

I would like to see a few years of these share issues ripping yet more cash out the believers as their circumstances and results become evermore desparate and their club so tainted that by the time the final axe falls they are too apathetic to even care.
Bring it on
Yeah cos there are great similarities between that single deal and Vlad's "football pyramid".Quote:

I think HMRC are gonna cook their goose. They are admirably tenacious.
I would agree that I don't want them going under yet. Whilst true that they have held the upper hand and gave us a doing in May, everything currently points to them having had their day in the sun. It's over for them. Keep them going for three or four years, broke, crap on a lesser financial footing than us, and hopefully a relegation in their final season for good measure. It's up to the management at Hibs to keep projecting us forward and laughing at them as we look backwards at them fading into the distance.Quote:

The biggest derby in our history took place on New Years Day 1973. Hibernian thrashed them 7-0 on their own ground.
If they want to take that title from us they need to either neutralise it by beating us 7-0 at Easter Road or they need to beat us 8-0 or more on any other ground.
As to blatantly cheating, it is utterly indisputable that they are in the same category as Glasgow Rangers were before they ceased to exist - ie participating in league and cup competitions at a financial level they could not afford. They may well end up paying the same price which would be the death of their club. At that stage they could go and support some other made-up construct in the 3rd Division purporting to be Hearts by virtue of throwing a version of that name into its title. However, like Rangers, this will not be the same club. It will be stripped of its history, its honour and its honours. But then all of that has already been achieved anyway by transforming them into a zombie shell of what used to be an Edinburgh and Scottish club.
Think of them this way - they are Scottish Football's version of a low level Lance Armstrong. Their financial steroids are finally taking the inevitable toll on the weakened leftover of their club's walking corpse. One way or another the next step from the football intensive care ward they currently inhabit goes to either death or a permanently chronic condition. Death speaks for itself. The chronic condition involves losing their stadium at the very least.
Now that they are being found out the past looks like a rather sick joke.
Dig in Hibbies, this is going to be a vast feast as they continue to disintegrate and the party is one where they certainly WON'T be painting anything Maroon.

Anyhow, I notice Heart of Midlothian (HM) are playing Ross County (RC) today.
Maybe it's just me.
