Turnover figures inflated by on field successes which were as a result of spending another countries savings......

yes but as soon as they are out of admin, are they immediately allowed to sign players? Seems Dunfermline have been given a ban until the end of the year. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22470071
Was talking to a Hibbee today who said that they are beginning to get a wee bit worried about their own financial situation. Was saying Killie, Dundee Utd, Aberdeen and them are all struggling. Dunno if it's true but it cheered me right up.
A clown from keekback posted this
ok who's the Hibee ??
anyway GIRFUY FTY GGTTH
Dons and killie are known to be toiling. How the guy can be worried about hibs' finances is beyond me. I'd like to know what our actual net debt balance is? Obviously we have debt regards the stadium, but outwith that...anyone
Thinking for a moment I imagine clubs with lower debt and cost bases to weather the storm better whether that translates onto the pitch who knows but I'd imagine Ross County to be relatively unscathed and wondering about ICT. With our relatively larger cost base perhaps we will suffer proportionately more but what's the alternative?
This will be long and drawn out with many false dawns and saviours. Don't spend too long analysing every half baked rescue plan - has Kenedy expressed an interest yet? If RFC could muster a £5.6 million bid from another conman what chance the Jimbos. Liquidation and a ground share in West Lothian with a wee application under a newco to div 3. Enjoy the summer fellow Hibees!
For a football cub we are in a fantastic financial position. The last couple of years of profit and loss hasn't been great but we have no overdraft, we have a completed infrastructure and significant land assets. Our debt is manageable and long term. We are worlds away from administration!
And we have season tickets sales way ahead of last season and, iirc, we have beaten last seasons total already, off the back of a cup final (big cup) and a European fixture to look forward to. We had a bad year or two but are on the up.
I recall Rangers fans spouting similar stories last year about Celtic, until they released their financials showing massive turnover increases, no debt whatsoever, cash at bank etc etc.
Bitter yams trying to deflect from the catastrophe at tynecastle and real threat of extinction.
Another myth, perpetuated by the Jambo at the BBC .............
How many fans do Hearts have?
Last season their average attendance in the SPL was 13,163
Creative accountancy? Count all their season ticket holders as present, just like their big brothers in Glasgow?
They seem to have the idea that they'll be selling out game after game next season, despite the fact that their season ticket sales are lower than they have been in a long time.
It's amazing how statistics can say one thing and they always seem to think the exact opposite.
stv news, 19/06/2013.....Hearts fans quoted saying "every hearts home game will be sold out next season"
.....we shall see!! one would seriously doubt it!!!
