Yup, just incompetence as far as I’m concerned. It’s just fun to keep score on how much they’ve thrown at their Bottom Of The League project. Might be £30m by the end of the season.Quote:

We've seen from Ron Gordon majority shareholders are keen to have a controlling interest so as a by product FoH basically become toothless.
To be honest I know they were gullible enough to pay Mad Vlad a million for non-existent shares but I doubt even they'd be daft enough to get bitten again.
I see they have started a thread on our finances. It appears that they know as much about finance as I do about brain surgery.

Hearts fans dissecting Hibs finances. Hibs fans dissecting Hearts finances. It's all the same. The reality is both Hibs and Hearts are looking pretty healthy financially. Especially Hibs.Quote:

What has happened to the super-duper massively huge big team?!
15 points behind, less goals scored than us, more conceded, rock bottom of the league practically all season!
And to top it off they have their own Zibby now.
Let's cut to the chase...FU** the Hearts, I hope you rot! We are miles infront of you all over the shop and you'll be lucky to escape Easter Road with it being less than 5!
What's the word? ...PLEASING!
Edit: I guess their Zibby keeper is Swiss? Regardless, the guys humpty!
Aye but their capacity is over 20K.........no wait its no because its no. I say this because if it was we would know all about it.Quote:

I know that seems a bit dramatic however I wonder what the financial implications are for them with fan ownership kicking in from next year along with the shortfall in finances they already have.
Being relegated would always be bad but I wonder if the stakes are even higher this season?
Sure that rumour started on this very thread!Quote:

Didn`t know their first goalie was Swiss , thoughtb he was Portuguese / Brasilian . Their second goalie is from Czech Republic but played briefly in Spain - only a few games but enough to be known as " Un payaso " ( A clown ) .Quote:

listening to the radio tonight billy doods referred to the killie keeper as having a "touch of the Pereira's" Pleasing.

They should win at home to Hamilton but you never know. Away to St Mirren? Not sure.
If they lose both they are odds on to go down.
Have they got the bottle?
Even if they win both, they’re still in bother.
Driving through to the game last night listening to the radio and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Richard Gordon said that since Jerry Butcher came in that hearts results had been a bit up and down but nobody could deny that they had improved. Even some of the media had bought into the myth. Good to hear after the game they were totally ripping him and hearts to bits.
I thought I had misheard that bit too, complete fabrication, like listening to a blether in the pub.Quote:

Think this is the year Hamilton could go down They have ridden thier luck for so long people expect them to avoid relegationQuote:

The advantage Hamilton have is they’ve been here before, they’ve came through relegation dogfights. Can’t say the same for the gorgie shower.
My only concern is that Hamilton look to have totally collapsed. If it wasn’t for that then I’d be fairly certain Hearts were going down.Quote:

Since Stendel was appointed (10 games ago), Hamilton have scored more goals than Hearts, conceded less goals than Hearts, won more games and have a higher points tally in the last 10 games than Hearts. In terms of form they are the better side.Quote:

Imagine it's Dundee and Hertz in the relegation play off. Would be the most wonderful irony if mcpake,foster and of course Berra could relegate them. They may well win on Saturday but they have a tough after the split fixture list. It's going to be squeeky bum time very soon. For the first time the jambos I know are going very quiet and are now just st hoping they stay up. The Killie defeat has totally eroded any confidence they had. Last night was on most people's radar if Celtic were clinical. Goosed their gd and that could be crucial come the end of may. Hibs in the cup final and Hertz in the relegation play off. Nice thought.Quote:

As it is, they've hired a swaggering (or staggering), overconfident bellend who has alienated the dressing room, brought in less players than he needed who were not of the required standard(kind of like what Butcher did with Haynes and Boateng) and began to sink like a stone.
The similarities are uncanny.
Canny wait for this documentary. Is there any way to pre order it?
I am not religious but I am praying every night for a Hamilton win. Two ex Hibbies in charge. They know what is required.
The fireworks if they lost to Hamilton and St Mirren would be delicious

Were you saying the same in 2011 or 2013 before the last admins? It happens. If teams consistantly spend more than they earn they end up in trouble. Personally don’t think Hearts are there yet but they will have to tighten their belt soon and a relegation could make that situation a lot worse. Sevco are a lot closer to an admin event I think. Neither club can access finance from traditional sources and they are both almost tapped out.Quote:

Hearts will really have to tighten their belt once Budge is away. The supporters and other benefactors got behind her as they recognised what she herself had done for the club. Once she's been replaced by some low profile FOH appointee, factions will form and the DDs and anonymous donations will start to dry up.Quote:

The Kamberi loan deal o found astonishing
I have assumed without any inside info that new owners are coming in with a view to investing to stop 10 in a row But until we know who they are and what thier plans are I will keep an open mind But do t think the Mutant hordes would accept new owners putting them immediately into Admin Incurring loss of points and handing the title to Celtic before a ball is kicked
Agree Hearts aren’t there yet hence my comments in original post But Relegation ,and getting stuck in Championship fir a few seasons would be an interesting prospect to watch them navigate through

£29. That's twenty nine pounds.
Makes me wonder what they will charge the mass hordes from Alloa, Arbroath and QOS next season?
