Surprised it has taken the EEN so long.
@DavidJ_McCann: The Evening News today nails its colours to the mast in the Hearts takeover saga with a very strong front page.
Having a debate on fb with a friend who is a hearts fan and he still seems to think its just bad financial management at the club and that they havent cheated, makes me angry!!!
Given the somewhere right of maggie nature of that paper, it's going to rail against homfc for not paying its taxes and defaulting on the hundreds of creditors? Demand that people like Southern are brought to book? Ask hard questions of those who championed the crook from the start? No?
Stone Me, BAnderson makes a statement that's factually correct:wtf:
Aye, it looks like the Hearts Evening News will be in full Yam praise flow today.... A local rag that will make no difference to events in the grand scheme of things....
Just joining the begging to save them, whilst forgetting as usual that this city has 2 Premiership sides of roughly the same size...
Ohhhh sorry I got that wrong, of course the readership available to them through using the save Hearts angles is 400,000..... How silly of me....
Yam paper, always has been, always will be.... Even back in the day it's Saturday evening sports paper was closely coloured to compliment the turd wearers:greengrin

Just received from HoM "inviting" me to purchase a corporate facility for our game for up to 6 people at £150 a pop. My reply was as follows " "see when you lot pay their taxes, pay the poppy fund and all your other creditors you may, if you wish, contact me. Until then just go back from under whichever rock you squirmed from under. GGTTH. "
I've been banging this drum for weeks & forecast months ago that HMRC would never see a penny of the penalty they imposed on Yams. If Vlad & cohorts, including Self-sufficient Southern, were not paying basic suppliers including hotels, travel companies & estate agents, they were never going to pay what they considered as an unfair penalty. I think CWG is probably correct as to where the money went but I continue to be astonished at the lack of reaction to what was essentially a fraudulent share issue. Southern was complicit in that venture. Even BDO in this week's document states that the 2012 share issue is not included "as share certificates were never issued"! It's staggering the ineptitude & lethargy of Yams support & MSM.
Is there a case for reporting a potential fraud to police Scotland (involving a company who owed said law enforcement agency a lot of money that police Scotland will never see) then leaving it up to plod?
Crazy. Put aside for a minute that this supposedly a newspaper that doesn't have any allegiances, they are once again proving that they do not have any clue what is going on at Tynecastle.
The FoH bid is not only not enough in the first instance but an incredibly flawed business plan going forward. I think it's monumentally unlikely any deal will ever be done.
great post by 'the ball is round' :thumbsup:
they've always had folk bail them out over the years and now all their little helpers hands are tied they are struggling to come to grips that some time in your life you need to wipe your own erse. They have continued to take hand outs and now they're on their own its everyone else's job to get the s**t off.
Well my ****my friends 'NAW IT'S NO'
Hurry up and shut that place down for the good of Edinburgh, Scotland and awe the we Kids that aren't safe while this institution is still breathing.
EEN trying to get the Yams on their side??

Absolute cringe.
Basically a cut and pasted FoH press release. The 'voice' of the article gets confused. At one point it talks about 'those fantastic supporters' then it switches to 'pass us by'.
The statement "The success or failure of clubs like Heart of Midlothian can have a huge impact on the wellbeing of their home city, both emotionally and financially." is riseable. The recent success of Hearts has certainly had a financial impact on the city (small business, charities, council etc not being paid). But the idea that the success of a business with an annual turn over of c£10 million makes much difference to the city's economy is laughable.
"for the good of Hearts, and the wider Edinburgh public" - yeah, Mrs Smith who is a pensioner in the South of the city and isn't interested in football (etc) will gain huge benefits if Massone steps aside.
"The sacrifice of both players and fans in the First World War in particular." Jesus.
This is FoH talking. They are basically saying they can't match Massone's bid and their only hope is for him to pull out. They can't come straight out and say that so they are doing it through the Evening News.
They are at the end of tge road as far as increasing their own bid.
Looks like they are beginning to panic. FoH have been told their offer is nowhere near good enough and know they can't go any further (i.e. maxed out on the credit card) and so now have to bring pressure any which way on the other bidder to withdraw to leave them with a clear field.
Funny that, I just said summat along the same lines.....:thumbsup:
God that is just pathetic. Fair play though, Angelo, step aside old chap - oh liquidation is their preferred option clearly. :thumbsup:
