Oh oh. The Maroon pound will not be finding its way to Ayr anytime soon. This guy is 100% spot on every time I hear him speak. Sadly the BBC radiojambo team somehow manage to overlook himQuote:

I’ve said this before: the social distancing measures put in place for supermarkets etc are a nightmare for large scale crowd events. Acknowledging this isn’t defeatist. Either the rules are relaxed (my hope) or getting crowds back into watch football matches is going to be a f***ing nightmare.
So Hearts are you Wealthy or skint this would suggest the later its some game of poker your playing I'm thinking your chips are all spent ..

HEARTS have knocked back a takeover approach from the son of former Liverpool owner George Gillett, according to reports.
BBC Scotland claim US businessman Foster Gillett wants to buy a controlling stake in the Tynecastle club.
They report that contact was made with the Edinburgh side last week.
More to follow.

Masterful timing Ann. Release the news that the club is subject to predatory bids to further rally the troops and pull the wool further over their eyes over what an awful job you have done so far. Excellent.
Made up bid knocked back, release to press =more money from the flumps through pledgers.Quote:

Their skintness/overwhelming financial security seems to change by the hour. :rolleyes:
They really are the Donald Trump/Boris Johnson/Dominic Cummings of Scottish Football. Contradicting themselves within paragraphs.Quote:

They're goosed!Quote:
Hearts have told supporters they simply can't afford to offer partial season ticket refunds.
The Jambos admit the financial hit of reimbursing fans for unfulfilled fixtures would be too great as they face up to the grim reality of relegation to the Championship.
Owner Ann Budge has submitted plans for league reconstruction which she hopes will keep her club in the Premiership next season.
Dropping to the second tier leaves Hearts facing the harmful prospect of a delayed restart, with some Championship clubs feeling they are unable to return to action until stadium gates are again opened to punters.
Some Premiership sides have offered refunds for the remaining 2019/20 matches but Hearts have confirmed they won't be among them - although existing season
In an e-mail sent in response to fan enquiries, the club insist the decision is in line with pre-existing policy and that the "overwhelming" feedback from fans has been sympathetic given the current, extraordinary circumstances.
The email reads: "The complete shutdown of Scottish football and related revenue streams unfortunately means we are not in a position to offer refunds to season ticket holders for outstanding fixtures.
"The financial impact on the club would be significant.
"The overwhelming feedback we have had from supporters is that they understand the challenges we face and that any sort of refund would not be expected.
"This no refund policy is also in line with the club's season ticket terms and conditions.
"We don't underestimate the impact that the pandemic will be having on many and assure you that, if we were in a position to do so, we would offer a refund option."
Fans have continued to back the club on new season ticket sales, which have already passed the 4000 mark as of last week.
Supporters' group the Foundation of Hearts, to whom Budge has committed to transferring ownership of the club, have also said they've enjoyed a surge in pledges - taking in over 1000 since March.

‘Let them bake cakes’, as Queen Budge might say.
Wait a minute, when Hibs offered a refund but asked where people could afford to that they didn't take it up that meant we were about to go tits up. Now that the tarts have categorically told their moron followers that they can't have one under any circumstances does that mean that they are about to go pop? Or will it just be auld Budgie just showing how successful a businesswoman she is again?Quote:

Hearts not offering any sort of refund is a low blow. This news breaking after a leak of a potential buyer?
Things are not looking good in Gorgie.
He would have been one of the richest owners in Scotland. There is def some strange stuff going on with all the Americans wanting to invest in our clubs. Will be interesting to see where it goes.Quote:

Apparently Budge has already transferred ownership to the fans, they just haven't announced it yet?
Is that true?
