Exactly. It's "we won the war, 5-1, give us more of your money". Was there not some chat about the Muppets' backers releasing more up front capital for their bid depending on the pledge total? If they're still on the begging bowl offensive, they're probably still well short.Quote:

Will something bad happen to them soon to shut the fe ckers up, please. :fenlon:yw:
A good example of this is this piece by Craig Levein on the FoH website today, it's just a big love in just now, hopefully it makes the fall even bigger when it does happen, but I wish it would happen soon as I can't stand to hear any more of this "wonderful fans" crap. :jamboak:

The Foundation of Hearts today (28 August 2013) announces that Craig Levein has lent his full support to the campaign to secure supporter ownership for Heart of Midlothian Football Club (Hearts)
A highly successful manager at Tynecastle between 2000 and 2004, and former club captain, Craig was in Gorgie to promote a final call for supporters to set up direct debits ahead of Monday’s (2 September) official first draw-down.
The Foundation-backed bid sees Edinburgh business provide the up-front capital, through BIDCO, and then enter a binding contract with FANCO to sell the club, at no personal gain, in a controlled manner.
Former Hearts and Scotland manager Craig Levein said:
“I’ve asked a lot of searching questions over the last few months of the Foundation’s team, and I am impressed by the answers. They’ve clearly done a huge amount of work to create a sustainable platform for Hearts to rebuild.
“What they’ve done to make this a genuine possibility now is remarkable. They combine business capital, and expertise with the passion of the Hearts support.
“The supporters have been absolutely magnificent. I can’t stress that enough. The way they have rallied to support the club, time after time, is incredible. The fact Hearts even exists today is down to them. Hopefully the Foundation of Hearts can give the fans the fresh start they, more than anyone, deserve.”
Ian Murray, chairman of the Foundation of Hearts, added:
“We’re delighted to receive this public show of support from Craig Levein. He was a very fine player, captain and manager for this club. He’s hugely respected by the Hearts support, and he’s not offered this backing without considering some of the key detail.
They're slipping up. Not a single reference to '5-1', size, or the war in this article as far as I can see.Quote:

What a feather in the cap for FOH, they have the backing of Scotlands worst ever international manager......
:faf: Might be better to consider a bit more than some of the detail before opening yer gob. That was a Stevie "Fail" Fail trademark anyway, claiming such-and-such a record by considering only the good results and ignoring the bad. Oi, Levein - get yer own trademark!Quote:

It would be the truth but doubt it would keep the knuckledraggers very happy.

I would suspect that FOH are trying to maximise pledged revenues for the post-liquidation scenario, and the rebuilding of the club from scratch. I expect this bid to fail and liquidation to be rebranded as the best thing since sliced bread. Look out for 'clean slate' 'new dawn' and 'golden (showers) opportunity' to gain heavy usage in September.
He's putting nothing up frontQuote:

Yes yes but the yams are not any other club on the planet. If it hadn't been for the yams' ultimate sacrifice in WW1, there would be no professional football. Full stop. A (Jack Alexander) FACT.Quote:

I just emailed the following to the DR hotline. I'm not holding my breath re my email being printed but some similar comments may provoke some reaction.
Instead of being a continual cheerleader for Foundation of Hearts perhaps the Daily Record could ask David Southern some pertinent questions such as; As Managing Director last year you presided over a share issue which was reported as having raised £1million. No shares were ever issued & BDO have been unable to trace any of the monies received. Where is the money? In addition David Southern stated Hearts were " self-sustainable " a few days before they entered Administration. Why would anyone trust David Southern now?
Did you send it to Joan Burnie who does the 'Just Joan' column brog or Keith Jackson ? :greengrinQuote:

The property team at my work (a large asset manager) put a rough price of £9-10 million.Quote:
