Since they stayed in the SPL on the last day of the season in 2009-10, Kilmarnock have played some excellent football and their fans have seen their team finish in 5th, 7th and 9th in the league, whilst winning their first trophy in 15 years last year. They still desperately want Johnson out.
could be a good idea to start buying the rights to hearts of lothian,the hearts,hertz of midlothian etc

Foundation of Hearts confident they will meet bid deadline
The fans' group aiming to buy Hearts insist they will meet the 12 July deadline set by administrators. The Foundation of Hearts also said they had two options to finance their bid.
Foundation chairman Ian Murray MP claimed that almost 4,000 fans have converted pledges of support into direct debits - 2,000 short of their target. "We are nearly there and the Foundation will select the most appropriate route," he said.
Murray, the Labour member for Edinburgh South, added: "Should we be able to hit our own target for pledges we will in a position to draw down substantial capital to confirm a viable bid to take Hearts into the ownership of the people that matter most, the supporters."
The two funding options for the consortium remain confidential until after the deadline, but the group say both rely on securing as much financial support from individual fans as possible, coupled with partnerships with businesses.
Former Hearts captain Dave McPherson has also backed the Foundation's efforts. "I want to offer my complete support," he said. "I hope the Foundation can secure the very final pledges requires to make the sort of bid to the administrators that they consider most appropriate to the future of this club."
Am I right in saying that they had said there was 6,000 pledges in total? That would mean they are looking for a 100% conversion rate for them.
Taking out the amount of 'not quite so honest' bids by us guys, that would have been a ridiculous target anyway.
There will also be a fair few genuine offers of pledges by Hearts fans who, having had time to sleep on it, have decided (or the Mrs has decided) that they can't justify it.
The offers would have been for next to nothing because:
a) Hearts in administration declined them
b) They don't have any players worth more than a bag of pick n mix
c) Clubs would just be testing the water with first offers, knowing full well that theres a chance they could get the players for nothing in the near future
We have the newco Waltons...the Dalton's of Gorgie. The family tha put the crap into scrap!
My only concern is, if Cropley was God and now God was Cropley...who the hell was their boss, Turnbull?
I really don't care about 1-5 and 1902.......and by that I mean we can always look ahead as Hibernian Football Club to next season. We have 0-7, 6-2. Every team, including Hearts, can recover from single game 'humiliations'.
You can keep your 1-5, 1902, administration, cake bake sales, piggy bank raids. They are NOT worth a prolonged period on a life support machine. Someone turn it off and save BDO a few quid on electicity bills.
I am here in Paris at the moment and at many ATM's there are beggars with their sad faces and littlle paper cups....I'm sure it is FOH 'officials'!

...is sufficient punishment for HMFC (IA).
Looking ahead to the BDO deadline on "the glorious 12th of July" for bids for HMFC (IA), the SFA notice of complaint served on HMFC (IA), and the reply to the SFA within 7 days, and subsequent hearing to be heard on the 18th of July. The noises coming from BDO about newco scenarios doesn't bode well for their forthcoming meeting with the SFA. I'm sure the SFA will be looking for guarantees that HMFC (IA) will be able to complete their fixtures, ( unless that is something only the SPFL will decide on ) in the coming season. If the admins can't give that assurance, I think the SFA will suspend their membership for a year. Any reason why that will / won't happen?
