FoH could find themselves as footballs 'Lib Dems' - no chance of power on their own but catapulted to 'Kingmakers' by virtue of pledges.
So FOH are basically their only option now? lol
That articles a bit bizarre due to the Celtic slant on it. Open the door for Killie and Aberdeen to newco too? Really?Quote:

1st comment on that article sums it up.Quote:

It could be argued Scotland is the most corrupt fraudulent football federation on the planet, but when teams fail to pay millions of pounds worth of bills and get away with it by merely declaring themselves a “newco” with the same name, badge, strip etc. Scotland’s football federation will be seen clearly in the eyes of the world for what they truly are.
Didn't you already say that BDO are corrupt, though?Quote:

From what's being said now it looks like these two sources are two of the other bids and they'll pick one.
So the FoH pledgers don't even know who they are getting into bed with and will have overall control of the club.
Transparency my ****, just more smoke and mirrors.
Not complaining mind.
Question: Why is 12th July being referred to as the glorious 12th? Is it because this is the deadline for bids for HoMoFC or has the grouse season been brought forward a month? :confused:

The glorious 12th refers to the 12th August which is the start of Grouse shooting season.Quote:

Very good analogy :agree: but surely you mean the Monster Raving Loonies, or Monty Pythons' Extremely Silly Party? The FOH front man fits perfectly as leader of both. :greengrinQuote:

FOH say they are minded to reject the proposal from McKie to join forces and will instead use their other source of funding.

Even if there was a developer with an interest in the site, there is no way they would be willing to stump up their full price until they got planning permission for their proposed development. Any offer they made to buy the place would therefore be pre-conditional on them getting planning, which naturally puts a question mark over whether there would ever be a final deal with that developer (even if (and again, I don't know) the proposed scheme is something the Planning Department would look at). If Newcohmfc was to offer a price not a million miles off that developer's figure then that might be more attractive as it (presumably) would have less strings attached.
Of course, all of this is based on there actually ever being an offer from an interested developer. There is no certainty of this whatsoever. What is absolutely certain just now is either that (1) there will be a CVA or (2) if not, there will be a Newcohmfc desperate to keep the team at Tynecastle. Both keep football at Tynecastle.
FoH playing a good hand here. Telling McKie "we have a better offer, any advance on yours ?"Quote:

I knew that. Happy Anniversary when it comes. I was 20 years in April. Murderers get less :greengrinQuote:

The £20.5M was with a ton of conditions attached relating to getting planning for a certain density of housing. I think that figure was right at the top end and it was generally assumed a few million would be knocked off by the time Hearts actually got any money.Quote:

My point is that developers were prepared to buy the land 9 years ago despite a lack of planning permission.Quote:

@edinburghsport: We have learned that the consortium looking to buy Hearts, being led by Gordon McKie, will not now bid. More soon on http://t.co/4RQNn1YqDM
And still miles above anything they could realistically offer.Quote:

Oh no...! :rolleyes:Quote:
