Lawrence Broadie@lawrencebroadie Let's be clear this is nothing to do with shares as they are worthless. It's about survival. Recriminations later for sure, but not now.
Is he not their PR 'guru'?
But if they die a quick death, they will be rise again. Debt free, at a much lower level with probably no stadium, but they will rise again. Debts cleared they will start to have hope again. If this was Hibs, we would never let the memory or the hope die.
On the other hand a slow lingering death would be much better, IMO, to enjoy. Hertz, like Rangers, will never die.
Lawrence Broadie@lawrencebroadie@GeorgeFoulkes will you feel able to buy some shares? Situation serious. Hope you can back it. Cheers, L
He appears to be begging.
Spoke to someone last week who is quite close to folk at Tynecastle and when I asked about the share issue his reply was 'it's only delaying the inevitable' - he's also convinced, as he was when I posted it months ago, that there was some kind of deal negotiated regards the stadium in late 2011. My thoughts are that Vlad isn't daft and this has been in the pipeline for a lot longer than fans are being told.
For what it's worth I'm in the camp that wants to see Hearts survive - I love the derby, despite temporarily hating them for 90 minutes when we play they're a big club and I've really good mates that support them. I very much put the shoe on the other foot and I'd hate to see my beloved Hibs in this state - all I want is a level playing field, and once that is established I firmly believe Hibernian are the stronger club and will be more dominant..
Hmmmm, so who's the manky mob playing at Ibrox in Royal Blue and calling themselves 'Rangers'? Somebody needs to tell them.....
Unfortunately, there is a 'Rangers' and they're just as arrogant a bunch of t*ssers as the previous version but have much lower debts.
I don't want to see that happening to the Bloodied Turds. I'd much prefer they limp along under new ownership with Vlad renting out the PBS to them at an extortionate rate while doing no upgrades to the stadium whatsoever. In my ideal scenario, the Main Stand would be closed down to fans for safety reasons and would only contain the dressing rooms. It wouldn't matter too much as there crowds will never get much above 5k. The team would be made up of kids and Jim Duffy type players and get royally humped by Hibs on the odd occasion they were promoted to the SPL (and immediately relegated) or were unlucky enough to draw us in the Cup.
Don't forget either that their shop/office building was sold by Mercer's widow - not to HMFC, but to a Lithuanian registered company owned by Vlad.
Although their situation clearly is desperate, they have to play that line as hard, and as often, as they can.
Any suggestion from the club that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that they'll get out of the mess whether the share issue is a success or not, will just lead to folk holding on their cash.
Is there a sweep for how much they raise with their share thing?
I'll be generous and say they will raise 175 thousand quids, based on the other two share issues they've had I think that's about right though.
apologies if already posted or discussed elsewhere, I have looked but couldnt find any reference to it.
Heard today from someone that Campbell Ogilvie was involved in the whole Ranger EBT scenario and has also been involved in implemening the same thing during his time at Hearts.
If so, I would assume Hearts will be looked at soon, over and above all their **** to date, and will be well and truly Royaly buggered (no pun intended lol).
Does anyone know any other info on this topic or heard anything similar?
tic toc!!!:greengrin
Another week, another Yams winding-up petition in the Court of Session.
Don't know about any winding up order, but did hear yesterday ( from the horses mouth so to speak ) that they are seriously late with the rent due on their rented flats. They still have 8 or 9 apartments for various players and officials and whilst it was common for them to be a month or so in arrears, they are now 3 months and in some cases 4 months late with the rent.
It is now obvious they have not been paying some bills since July, so what are the chances our Council be getting the Council Tax on the properties or the business rates on the PBS. --- in a word , NONE.
What is the chances of our Council doing anything about it --- NONE !
Only a small point,in the grand scheme of things but I mentioned earlier that the taxman might be interested in non-declared free accomodation for players etc. If it is you/me they look at fuel allowances , private use of vehicles if you use works vans etc. the set up at Gorgie stinks to the high heavens and they are in for a very big fall. I'm confident that the council tax bill will have fell through the letterbox though. is it not all computer generated these days?
