No not this season. Derek Ferguson on Sportsound tonight saying that's what Hearts were paying all those years ago when they were beaten by Airdrie in 1990/91. Mental. Just shows how far back the overspending went.

Apparently a couple of the bigger lenders underestimated the reaction from Hibs fans.
There was talk about accounts being closed as well as a more direct campaign against the lenders.
I personally think a factor was that once STF became actively involved the risks and cost to mercer became too great and the banks were by then less keen on throwing money at his plan than they had been.

Was this for winning a game or winning the tournament?

The same establishment old school blazers who threw £1bn at Murray without any accountability or sanction. Scotland, great wee tinpot country.

I'd say we're one of the worst. All these old school blazer cowboy cavalier banks were bailed out by Westminster, remember. RBS is still making big losses and so would BOS without the Lloyds umbrella. We'd have been in hock for life to the IMF under any i arrangement and all ordinary depositors would have been rogered outside the FSCS. Meanwhile Murray and the blazers who funded him sit in their Murrayfield mansions and Hertz bonus recipients sip their fine wines. I'm alright Jack.

Had we been Independent, those banks would not have been able to make such enormous gambles as they would have been part of a much smaller, Scottish financial universe.
Let's also not forget that the huge gambles took place in their investment banking divisions, largely based in London. The people working there couldn't give two hoots about Scotland, as long as they got the big bucks.
Finally, the banks were indeed bailed out by the UK government, rightly so as they (and all the other bailed out banks based in London) are part of the UK - whos exchequer also benefitted from the massive tax revenues in the good years.
You can't have it both ways.

We were all paying silly money back then.
Remember the 275k we payed for Brian Hamilton in 1987?
Plus I wonder how much we were paying Stevie Archibald and Murdo McLeod?
I know it's not the same as talking about what players were getting in bonuses however most clubs were paying transfer fees and inflated wages.

Just read an article today which highlighted the wealthiest 1% own more that the bottom 50% combined. People here work and work hard, yet many can never own a property in the place they grew up.
