I feel for Forrest being included in the ridicule. He's an excellent guy and coach. His head will be spinning with the nonsense going on over there.
They must be due their usual relegation pretty soon?
Nah, can we not start the "laugh at Hearts" thread until AFTER something tangentially bad has happened to them ON THE PITCH.
They're just as likely to paste us this season as they have done every other one; being a shambles managerially has never stopped that. Or have we all forgotten, again?
Well, this is a horribly premature and poorly thought out thread. I'll laugh when something on the pitch has gone meaningfully tits up for them
Indeed. The last time they got relegated they only won 4 games .... two of them were against us. Like you I prefer to count chickens after they have hatched. Beating them to a player they must have wanted is great, but in the end it guarantees nothing.Quote:

Although the current situation at Hearts is comical and we should (rightly) be ripping the piss, we should be mindful that these tramps continually come up smelling of roses. They are like the jobbie that doesn't quite flush.

£50m. The club must be run by an idiot.
Hearts are just proof that fan ownership isn't all it's cracked up to be if the club are still run by idiots.
In their case fan ownership was always going to mean fanny ownershipQuote:

They really should've finished 3rd last season as well and as usual were the darlings of the idiots on Sportsound etc. Blowing a double digit lead against Aberdeen and clinging onto 4th and celebrating a draw against us at home like they'd won the league title speaks volumes of where they are.
Fan ownership works, so long as the fans doing the owning aren't complete imbeciles!

In the spirit of know your enemy I recently listened to a Hearts fans podcast reflecting on the season just past. A couple of things stood out:
The first was that they seemed pretty clear that Hearts had budgeted for guaranteed European group stage football next season based on finishing 3rd. That on the face of it is absolutely mental ... when you start relying on money that isn't guaranteed its the road to hell. No wonder Hearts always end up in the jobby when this, not for the first time, is the way they conduct financial planning. According to the fans on that podcast it has left a £5,000,000 hole in the next accounts.
Secondly they admitted that if it wasn't for the free cash injections from James Anderson their fan owned club would have made big losses in the last few seasons.
This wasn't Hibs fans pointing this stuff out, it was Hearts fans.
I've said it so many times. When the time comes that they have a few barren seasons, as it inevitably will, and there is no James Anderson and no player to sell for decent money ... what will they do? ..... The FoH membership hasn't grown in any significant numbers since it was first formed. Will the 8,000 members be willing or able to put their hands into their pockets and ante up £625 each on top of their normal FoH contributions and season tickets, simply to break even in the face of a 5 million quid shortfall?
This was what made me shaky about Hibs becoming a fan owned club. In Germany where you have 50,000 members, a huge TV deal, rich dudes willing to ante up to own 49% of the club and you can attract mega sponsorship it's fine. For other clubs where it's a community thing ... Dunfermline, AFC Wimbledon, Motherwell etc, all that matters is surviving with the hope of a promotion, a European place, or a bit of success in knocking a big gun out in a round of the cups, or for the Scottish clubs making a cup final.
Hearts are not either of these things. Their fans expect ... demand ... their club be the 3rd force in Scotland, they expect ( 3 times in 60 years :greengrin ) to win cups. They will not stand for simply surviving. It might not be tomorrow, but this is a club heading for a major crisis and it is almost inevitable IMO that eventually they will end up pimping the club out praying that some rich person or group will take it over from the fans.
Can you imagine Hearts fans accepting the club cutting its cloth to the extent where simply avoiding the play off place is seen as a victory and the club achieving it's potential .... no, me neither :greengrin
They haven't finished building the wall, otherwise they would definitely have pissed it up it.Quote:

A stadium that cant be expanded any further due to their own shortsightedness .... It should absolutely have been a stand almost a mirror image of Hibs west stand but with an 8,000 capacity built a bit further back from the pitch, enabling them to extend the Gorgie and Roseburn stands to meet it. They could easily, and I mean easily, have had a 22,000 capacity stadium for what they have spent on a single stand that is utterly bland and barely fit for purpose from the moment the ribbon was cut.
Hearts have the fan base and over the years the money to be the runaway 3rd force in Scotland ..... We can all be grateful that at every turn they seem determined to make an absolute digs dinner of everything they touch :greengrin
Amen to that.Quote:

If they extended the Roseburn and Gorgie stands they'd either fall down because the floodlight pylon is structural and can't be removed or they'd have hundreds of seats with restricted views behind the pylons. There's nothing easy about extending Tynie which is why Robinson said (rightly) it's not fit for purpose the best part of 15 years ago.Quote:

They should have a significant cash advantage over any other club in the league (outwith the OF).Quote:

I’m assuming they’ve made a few quid this week with hospitality/VIP dining and drinks on the Castle View Roof Terrace for the Rod Stewart and The Who shows on the esplanade, where they have the best views in the house atop their state of the art stand.
They’ve missed a trick if they haven’t.
They'll need to use the same method as their board did when they came up with the coaching set up.Quote:

This reeks of tinpot cheapskate management by a club who have ALWAYS spent other folks money.
To have spent close to £50 million and the only thing to show for it is two relegations is priceless.
Hopefully their arrogance continues as they are the gift that keeps on giving!
I forgot to add that Budges vanity projects could continue with the bespoke no window hotel planned!

But - that doesnt mean they get a real step up in player quality, and will definitely continue to lag Rangers and Celtic.
We know what the next stage is for the Jambos -
Their daftie fans then demand that they splash the cash on "big names" to match the "big club".
Lets hope they do, and lets hope they are duds....................
Your last sentence has already come to fruition, well partially. Kio and Grant, 2 players that cost about 750k between them, on BIG wages but are poor imho.Quote:

Not to mention have a wider area in which to place their pitch so that fans can't grab opposition players as they are about to take a throw in.
In their obsession with keeping their alleged atmosphere they have turned the place into a 19,000 capacity shoe box with the corporate facilities and directors box in the wrong place. A situation which would probably cost about another 20 million quid to rectify.
I wonder if they had fan consultations about the new stand prior to construction and if they did why none of them seems to have pointed out what to me at least was the bloody obvious. Budge and co might well bum about what they have done, all I can see is an absolutely world class example of lack of foresight :greengrin
Hearts first choice keeper injures himself in the warm up, for their friendly, and has been replaced in the team sheet before the game kicks off...
Wouldn't wish injury on Zander but that's money they need to spend on keeper which will cut their budget for outfield players.Quote:

Kickback are commenting on this thread nothing wrong with a bit of banter.
My Jambo mate reckons they're skint. Sacking Neilson then appointing Naismith/McAvoy, selling Ginelley and Kio, losing out on Levitt to Hibs, losing out on the Australian boy etc. How they would be skint with the money their fans are ploughing in and a benefactor would be anyone's guess but if i was a Jambo (thank **** i'm not) i'd be starting to ask questions.
