And I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re posting the same in the run up to next Christmas :agree:Quote:

When things start to slide will be the time to see a real pantomime. :greengrin
You have to admire their achievement (grudgingly) and it'll be interesting to see how it pans out and how often the fans are consulted on major decisions.Quote:

These claims will be as plausible as their claim to have 20,000 seats in their stadium.
I think Hearts have peaked and it’s all downhill from here.
Can't wait, keeping mrs doctor Budge at the wheel at the same time as 400,000 balloons stride around the city acting like they own a football club, and maybe even make decisions like mrs doctor Budge used to do and still will.Quote:

No one has to. If you do that is up to you. We saved our club many years ago from Mercer. Doubt they admire us for that.Quote:

They saved their club. We saved our club. The Rangers let their club die.Quote:

Regarding the capacity, they have never every publicly came out and said what it officially is because they know it’s under 20k and by some way!Quote:

The list of fan owned clubs that Hertz are currently topping
well, you could argue that we took our eye off the ball in the late 80s with that chancer Duff and his swanky English wine bars, which led to the financial problems that the FTB tried to exploit.Quote:

I remember seeing a clip from near the tunnel of Berra and others getting a torrent of abuse. It could easily get like that x 10 when things aren't going well and they're bound to hit a bad spell at some time or other.
If you thought they were self-entitled before just wait and see what they'll be like now, it won't be pretty.
Typical Jambos, lying about figures as usual. They've even changed Wikipedia back to 20,099 with a citation to the plans despite there being a subsequent citation and the safety certificate after completion which says 19,852. It obviously really bothers them to be under 20k. 😀Quote:

Hearts fans take credit on behalf of Mercer for saving Hibs as he "highlighted the problem". They forget he highlighted the problem by trying to put us out of business.Quote:

I don't think it does any harm to pause for a second, make the point you've made (which is a valid one) then immediately get back to hostilities.Quote:

They, with a few exceptions, did nothing to help us back then.Quote:

While they've thrown money at bad football management that got them relegated, they're thrown even more behind chaotic infrastructural investment that leaves them with a legacy of a terrible stadium and a rented training facility. No matter how they try to gild it as 'atmospheric' or whatever, Tynecastle is sub-standard in every respect. The good news is that it will continue to soak the pledgers for many years to come.
As for the transition to fan ownership, the good Mrs Doctor's time is almost up. She'll cling on but age and incompetence will get the better of her eventually. The actual transition could be enjoyable though. No doubt there are a few fat boys out there who fancy themselves in maroon blazers and a distracting power struggle could be fun to watch.
St Mirren also.Quote:

Fan ownership seems to be working pretty well for Motherwell. I think they have a fanbase that is pretty realistic though. Hearts fans on the other hand will be tearing into each other in short order and it will only take a bump or two in the road for it all to go pear shaped
Can only respect what the fans have done to save their club.
The most hearts way of announcing it ever though with a mention of size. freaks
