So is he still under contract with Liverpool! :confused:

Amazing how they continue to do this without even having a pot to pee in, this kind of arrogance does my box in and if the SFA don't look in to why they can't pay back (and never will) the zillions they owe then why are they allowed to sign players (even if players have left)Quote:

He'll be under contract until for the next couple of weeks so can't officially sign for hearts just now.Quote:

Also worth remembering Rangers before tehy folded tried to sign daniel cousin in the days before administration.
At the agm last week they were pretty open about the fact they'll likely start next season -15 points.Quote:

This is the sickbag rumour quote mentioned above. The poster claims he got the following from among the suits at Hampden yesterday. First part sounds fairly plausible and second part top notch but perhaps a bit over hopeful. Suspect it would be a worst case scenario if the Lithquidators play proper hardball. :wink:
Bit in bold, they really, really just don't get it do they? I've not murdered anyone for over a year, how can you punish me? :rolleyes:Quote:

It really is something that the SPL need to look at, HoMFC have already admitted they don't have enough money to see out the season. They are hoping that they can raise £1.5m from a fan membership scheme and £1m from player sales throughout the season. Their audited accounts state "These conditions, along with the uncertainties in the cash flow projections explained in note 1 to the financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern." This isn't a club taking finance out for expansion or using an arranged overdraft/loan/funding to speculate on a player or two, this is a club which is crossing its fingers and hoping for the best. Some of the clubs in the SPL have smaller total wage budgets than HoMFC are looking at fleecing their fans for again.
I don't know if the SPL have any regulations on clubs providing assurance that they can fulfil their fixtures, but if they don't then they should IMHO.
I was speaking to a Hearts fan the other day who told me that they were still due money for Templeton and McGowan as part of the transfers. This is where a large chunk of the £1m transfer fee expectation comes from. Is this true as I thought that they had received all their fees for those two?
Hearts have signed a new player - what exactly is difficult to understand about this?
Don't think anyone finds it difficult to understand just odd that a club which admits it cannot see out the season without a cash injection is going around, and allowed under SPL rules, to sign players. I suspect that come the middle of the season they will do what Dunfermline did when they signed Brewster, Crawford, Kozma etc and announce half way through the season that they can't afford the players and they (the players) will have to take a massive wage cut.Quote:

This means that in these two months where there is no real income* other than season ticket sales they have a to pay out nearly £1.1m. They needed £1.8m to see out this season just finished but only raised £1.5m, meaning that they will have used £300k of the 13/14 season ticket income (assuming they hadn't already budgeted to use that) to get them to the end of May. They claim to have sold 6k season tickets for next season which will be around £1.4m income (assuming they have similar average prices to Hibs @ £12 per game) so they'll have used virtually all the season ticket money by the end of July, 1 month into the new season.
* There will be some income from friendly matches and merchandise sales (new kit) but I would imagine that friendlies struggle to break even with policing and stewarding costs taken into account and the money they will make from replica kit sales is minimal.
They are clinging on in the desperate hope that someone will buy them ... and ****ing sharpish!Quote:

They will get some prize money (no s******ing at the back!) from their plucky 10th place finish (c £300K I think) and if they limp on until September they'll get the upfront SPL distribution (c £600K). I think you might be slightly overestimating their wage bill since several high earners are already released and they probably won't bring the new faces on board until very close to the new season start. On the other hand, I think it's pretty likely that most of the ST money they've already taken in has already been spent.Quote:

spot on.Quote:

I can't think of a single time when a company was in such a hideously dire position but still contiues to trade without a care.
I can't ever see them going under.
No surprise the timing of this a day after we lost in the final. So he has a current contract at Liverpool which will likely run out at the end of the month. There will be loads of caveats that Wilson's advisors will have written in. Lets see how it goes and if he actually plays there.Quote:

You got to give them credit for brightening up our Monday :aok:

If rumours like that are true (and if they're still alive in six months), these players aren't going to be paid when we get into October/November and the cash-flow sh** hits the fan. No hobonomics here... just facts.Quote:

It's all part of their ST sales plan :wink: Chill.
GGTTH
They have a deluded support that had convinced themselves this is the sort of player they need to go for, and the club needs them to buy season tickets and 'donate' another £1.5million on top of that.Quote:

Let them have Boyd if they want, he's done f all at Killie and will just be another drain on their dwindling bank balance.

:shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked:
I have absolutely no sympathy for any player that signs for the manky mob and then three months later they fail to get paid or they go bust. They can access the same info we can and can see what a shower the jambos are and how close to going down the pan, so they have no excuses and can have no moans when it goes mammaries aloft.
Their agents should be run out of town for giving them such bad advice though.
Hey! I finally hit 1000 posts! I've been on Hibs.net since practically the beginning so it's taken me a looooooong time to get there. Some guys are up to 30,000 posts by now.Quote:
