So am I, thanks to my ex, she rattled on about karma all the time and was a Yam.......sadly (not) I then ended up with her cousin briefly........which reinforced my karma beliefs :greengrin good things happen to good people and all that :aok:
I'm a very bad man :na na:
Let me repeat one more time, Sergey is 100% a Hibby, I've known him for many years & my Hibs lineage goes back to my grandfather being baptised by Edward Hannan in 1875! Just in case I get the dreaded LTYF :wink:. Again, Sergey has been right on almost everything throughout & if you read tonight's EN you'll see he & Bajillions were pretty much spot on with their status reports right up until the last 48 hours. It's really not a stretch to say that a week ago BJ's thoughts on Yams prospects were virtually the same as those expressed by Sergey & Baj on this forum.
Desantos/Sanger/Sydney et al is another matter!
What the.......:confused:
OK, who slipped acid in to my ovaltine?
To bin someone from the board ? Hopefully not
I feel magic marinello, like I've been quantum leaped back to Truth, Yip Yap, Pure, Burger Queen, Tattoo and Carbolic Frolic all thanks to Sangster :greengrin wee bit of Taste thrown in for good measure as I'm feeling fruity tonight :greengrin
I think Sangster is the most legal of legal highs :aok:
I think if you google Boooooooooo Nobel and Finance. You get a short list of Desantos's contribution and why he should be regarded as an authentic poster .
Moderators, Nurses could we get a "wibble,wibble I'm a teapot" board and consign Desantos there for quarantine purposes ?
May I just say that it's been worth the Jambos escaping liquidation to read some of the stuff from De Santos de Orango over the last few pages? Fantastic!
I don't think I'll have to dream tonight.
I agree.....it's reaffirmed that for the next few years we should embark fully on a programme of Jambo Mocking :greengrin:aok:
Takes me back to mid 80's Tollcross where it was commonplace......now that The Nose may be back with them, Lockey is showering in glory (literally) and they will all self flagellate with their wee twirly maroon scarfs, I feel the time is right to resurrect our complete and utter class dominance over the 'Kyles'.
Bring on the 27th :aok: 'you only wear Le Shark, you only wear Le Shark.........'
They really are (and were) fashion tinks :greengrin
'cos I'm honing it
Just been standing in the pub for the last 3 hours with 5 jubilant yams. There was a lot of absolute nonsense getting talked about new managers, new players, new main stands, straight back up, great road trips next season and massive direct debit income stream going into the player budget. The stuff of absolute fantasy.
I have to say though, that none of the total nonsense they were spouting matches some of the bull**** I have just read over the last ten pages on here.
Think some people need to step back from the keyboard. Go for a walk. Get a life. Something?
Could somebody please help? I've been working all day and then went for a few beers. Am I pi***d or am I in the Twilight Zone?. WTF is this all about? Could Mikey or someone please summarise what the ****** this is all about? I'm too old for this. It's all gone right over my head.
All these yams are spouting rubbish at us like they've had some kind of victory against us. No yams, you haven't. In reality your decent into admin has been nothing at all to do with Hibs.It was your own doing. Enjoy the championship.
Certainly had me hooked for a while Am hoping today brings more clarity about the new details that have been agreed in the updated memorandum of Understanding that hasn't yet been rubber stamped but now has two green lights and the backing of all those Politicians . havent looked at papers yet as they were so up themselves with positivity yesterday there is no point in looking for any objectivity there .
It's been a blast and maybe the fat lady hasn't started her Aria but she's still waiting in the wing practising her scales. Yams, this ain't over YET! There's more pain to come.
such as?
i'd say shedding the debt they have (best part of 70M), 1 season out the top league (we may follow suit & not get back to top league ourselves for 2 years) and come back in better financial state than other clubs, is a pretty good outcome.
all this pain & hearts never being good again stuff, sounds good, but I just dont buy it though.
At least a season (maybe several) in the lower leagues and a level playing field from now on. I would have taken that this time last year. Me personally am miffed that their financial doping probably cost us a scottish cup. They wouldn't have got there in 2006 paying normal rates.
This rivalry is as poisonous as i've ever known it now.
I'm afraid, you're the only one who's going to feel more pain if you keep torturing yourself with the vain hope that they could yet come unstuck. A soothing tonic of a revived Hibs team in the next five games and the flatness ('tho they won't admit it) and anti-climax that hits them when the reality of playing with the other minnows sinks in.
I will try mate :-)
A Hibs win and SPL safety ASAP, would be nice.
Re. others above; I think they will get back up 1st time, they'll have good crowds & be still in a position to afford better players than others (bar their big cousins).... and let's not pretend that's a strong league, they'll come back up via the play offs.
For what its worth -
Friend / Colleague of mine is a tynecastle season ticket holder, but dont hold that against him, actually a decent guy. Loves to beat us of course, but not stupid enough to think that their financial rollercoaster was consequence free.
Oddly enough, he knows I Am an MP personally too - but had no more inside info than anything on this board. Indeed, Murray told him the same as some of the guys on here, i.e. it was pretty touch and go for a while.
So the mood among sensible people like him yesterday was not "get it right up ye hibees", more relief that his team was still there for him to support.
He said this on thursday:
- They spent money they didnt have
- They stiffed lots of businesses out of money and in among the glee and euphoria this has been forgotten
- The hard work now begins - and Murray also said privately that this is just the start
- They will be skint for years, it is vital that they re-sign some of those promising youngsters
- DDs will provide some cash, but not being in the top div is a huge financial blow
- 2 seasons in the first div (I'm no calling it a championship) is reaslistic
- H
e also laughed and said there is chat about re-signing skacel, something he thinks is daft, but will galvanise fans
Final point, him and I have debated football - to paraphrase (me - how they cheated their way through last 25 years) (him - we are a bunch of underachieving losers) - but all in a decent style.
Neither of us gives it the big one after a derby win - as we know the shoe will shortly be on the other foot.
I reckon that he is representative of the non-kickback / EEN commentators hearts fans - and if that is the case, they know full well and are expecting this to be a very, very tough few years. They may have good season ticket sales next year, but unless those daft laddies accept the £40K PA wages on offer, they may struggle big time to return to the top flight.
........of course, if The Huns go bust again next year??????
Level headed post. The only thing I disagree with is that they will remain 'skint' for any length of time. Once their safety is beyond doubt, there will be a few wealthy punters queuing up to swell the funds ( I'm not sure how this would sit with Budge's business plan and the eventual 'fan ownership' ideal, but I think ways will be found to let others join the party) so I don't think lack of cash will be an issue.
Totally agree. They won't be skint at all, far from it.
Still, if cash is thrown at them - and they pay their taxes, their rates, even their players and all other service providers on time, every time - then people can throw whatever money they want at them.
I find it disgusting that a club can actually get away with what they've done, for years upon years.
Not paying your own fking council, for your own training facilities, robbing your own designated charities, screwing HMC&E, and well, we know the rest -
There should be tighter rules, regulation and fair play put in place - a long time ago.
SFA/SPL/FIFA; someone somehow should have never have let a poky wee scottish club ***** the best part of 70M away.
the fact only hibs.net seems to care and know about the whole cheating history, says more for our general public in Scotland. Even some hearts fans themselves, don't even know much about the companies they've screwed.
the mind boggles.
I think this makes sense, but ironically a few cash rich yammish joining the party would be interesting.
The 400,000 did part with their money rather easily when vlad was filling the car boot for his escape fund so FOH, having soaked them again under the banner of "fan ownership" only have to respin it again - presumably the favoured few who cough up the cash will be "fans" in some shape or form - bingo - fan ownership............Simples.
Ah, that makes me nostalgic. Dryburys were never much of a brewery, but their sponsorship of football and cultural events, like the jazz festival should be applauded.
Forgive me, my memory is not what it was. Have we not won the League Cup three times? I'd have thought EVERY Hibs supporter would know that.
Maybe they were put off by having to clear the debt? As for us, we have no option but to live within our means - its the only way to survive in the modern game, I'd have thought.
Pity the Hibs team weren't there. Still, at least we have the compensation of knowing that Hearts spent much more than they needed to. The result being, they ended up skint, and in Division One for the foreseeable future.
If only I could believe that. Sigh.
Oh they'll come back alright, but they now have to play within their means and even below their potential for several years. They might avoid liquidation, they might not but they can't avoid the mess they're still in.
They've got a whole generation of fans who believe they can spend spend spend who'll have to come to terms with the fact that they need to save save save and all the time the fans will have to continue to pay pay pay. It's not long before those same fans will be asking why am I paying for this crap and that's when the infighting begins.Tincastle won't be a fun place to be for a while yet
You start to think is it just coincidence that the play off were introduced when they were as it was clear hearts were going into administration and Sevco were on there way to buying and overspending thier way back into the top league So how convenient is it that they are both in the championship next season and both could come up .
Love the fact in the Dailly Record today on the hotline hearts fans not only have themselves back up in a season and debt free but challenging Celtic .Not a mention of how they got into the mess they did and how others have lost out financially .It just shows that there is no remorse and the gloat fest has begun already .
I really do hope we beat them in the Derby and put them in thier place as nothing but us beating them will do this .
I do hope the Budgie gets off that perch of hers and makes a media statement when the rubber stamp finally gives al this the sign of approval .In this she should clearly lay out the Wrongs and make it clear what the level of Financial mismanagement was and set out clearly and Transparently how the club will be run over next few years .
Anything short of this just rubs salt into the wounds of those who didn't get their money .
Sevco now know they have Competition and will be interesting to see wages on offer at both clubs .
I am not sure lessons have been learnt from Sevco debacle as it seems to me it's all self congratulatory slaps on the back all round and makiing it clear they are back and will be biggest and best team in the Capitol etc.
so if that can't be used by Butcher as motivation for players then nothing will .
If so, I hope all-concerned at ER use this to galvanise current/future players as they do at the PBS - sick of losing games we SHOULD'VE won because 'their players wanted it more' !
Spot-on - and going by the comments coming out of the PBS since their 'Great Escape', the muppet-mentality is STILL alive and kicking - totally incapable of learning absolutely SFA !!
They still have 10% to go and it seems to be the hardest bit the rumours of unrest among the UBIG Creditors could still scupper things before the 27th April fingers crossed.
Sorry, but that is just playing on words. Given what they were told about the true value of the PBS, it would be amazing if the decision was unanimous. Everybody knows there's a cooling off period, but it would have been real folly to make thus weeks announcement if there was a significant chance of the deal getting blocked.
No, let the Yams celebrate escaping the chair - but the reality of life imprisonment awaits those cheating conniving no-marks. I know you will agree with those sentiments.
Honest
I posted a link to a BBC article last night which mentioned that the FOH have to hand over 1 million as soon as the deal is done and then 1.2 million for the next two seasons just to pay back the budgie wuman, hope the fans are ready for this as i can see the DD"s dropping once the deal is done.
That's it folks...get another dose of false hope based on a wild forum post on the internet. We've never done that before.
It's more than that.
That money is just for working capital. The £2.5m for the club needs to be repaid on top of that.
http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/articles/2...241384_3668500
Yep, the FOH pay £1m immediately, then £1.4m per year for "at least" 2 years as "working capital" and then still have to pay back the budgie her £2.5m over a period of years.
So....assuming they can raise the £2.5 on top of the working capital, the minimum the FOH need to shell out is £6.3m by start of year 3?
Even the Jambo's article states that they need to understand that its £6m over 5 years to be raised. What it doesn't say is that the working capital requirement doesn't go away - they need that on top of the budgie money I imagine.
So, as stated many times, they won't have the cash to splash - on anything - for 3 years minimum IMO.
If any of these young players have the option to go elsewhere for more money or a higher standard of league then they should not sign for Hearts. The abuse which has been dished out on them has been awful considering the slashed wages they have been playing for. They should not damage their careers and potential wages for a cheating club (owned by one of the richest in Britain) and a poisonous support. The lesser talents should obviously sign for them if that is their best option, but I hope the good players will find better opportunities than pulling on a cheat's shirt. They have performed admirably in difficult circumstances and under a hail of abuse and criticism, but they should be careful not to jump from the frying pan into the fire and sign for THE rangers. Hopefully they will get good mentoring from somewhere and leave the cheats.
Interesting, has fatty Murray came out and said how much £££ FoH have at present?
It's a business plan with some pretty Big holes in it. Budgie may urge restraint, but the punters putting up the working capital for her to play with will want to see a return to the SPFL at the first attempt. They'd better hope Potter is on it from day one.
Mind you, if Sally stays at Der Newco they won't be a shoe in for the title.
It never happened though. Might have been close (do we really know how close given Jackson's posturing/manipulating?) and it was enjoyable, but this forums predictions/inside knowledge/sources were wrong in the end.
If people want to cling onto stevejordons or anyone else's 'Its no over' then fair enough...enjoy.
People should embrace Hearts and their 'new era' - a bunch of soulless cardigans wandering about Gorgie debating about which member gets the best parking space. Sheikh Mansour comes to Edinburgh it is not...
It's an interesting model.
On one hand, it gives them an additional £1m over what they would have through "normal" trading. That has to be good for them, on the face of things.
On the other, though, that statement says "It is intended that the Foundation will sign a legally binding agreement on behalf of the supporters". That could be a real problem. What happens if they don't pay the first £1.4m, or the second? Is the deal off? In my mind, that would reduce them to real self-sustainability, without the extra edge that I mentioned above.
