Sean Dyche made a good point, people in the uk expect the bigger clubs to bail out the lower leagues, however if you look at retail etc you won’t see large companies like Amazon, Tesco’s etc bail out local retail shops who are struggling

English and Murray are absolute window lickers. Where were these ****s when Hearts weren't paying wages then asking for help from clubs like Hamilton to give them gate receipts.
Imagine actually having a go at Hibs, a club who have always played the game. Always played by the rules. Always been well run. ****ing dense twats.

Hearts and their cheerleaders in the media are literally an irrelevance now. Until we play them in the cup they are a lower league team who have no business in commenting on teams in the big league.
That absolutely eats away at Hearts fans and that's why they are so bitter and angry. Great to see.

Tom English and Ewan Murray having a wee greetin face love in just now.
Apparently signing Kevin Nisbet means we aren’t allowed an opinion on the continuing lack of crowds and financial implications.

Tom English and Ewan “look at me, look at me “ Murray’s take on this issue is astonishingly bad, even by Murray’s standards.
If you look at ANY business, facing into a situation like Covid, they need to look at the business and how not only it survives, but actually has a chance of prospering.
If you’re a bakery, you don’t get rid of your master baker ( ) and replace them with apprentices or lesser bakers, and you might even consider that you need an oven that costs a lot but let’s you bake twice as much, but you can’t get that and keep your advertising budget the same out to have two people on the till to serve customers.
You invest in the things you can invest in, and cut what you have to in order to be able to do that.
Hibs have done nothing wrong. It might be unpalatable and it’s certainly something nobody wants to see happen, and dreadful for the people impacted, but in terms of looking after the health of the football club, those difficult and horrible decisions are necessary.
For Tom English and Ewan Murray to say that Hibs aren’t entitled to say we’ll need help (ignoring the fact that it isn’t even what was said) when we’ve had to lay off staff, put big plans on hold, and change the whole shape of the business to survive, is actually disgusting.

Allan Maitland on the radio just now, basically saying the Government have stopped fans coming in, unlike other businesses, pubs, airlines etc, so they should fund the game
Well made point

And support can't be limited to football. Other sports such as rugby, cricket or shinty can make a similar case.
There are many other sectors that can make a better case for specific support such as hospitality (which would include staff employed in that capacity by sports clubs) before professional football clubs, even allowing for the argument that the financial problem is caused by a government directive on crowds, so football clubs will need to make do with the general help measures available.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Ewan Murray gets far too much publicity on here. Tom English is fair enough as he’s a football media/pundit and engages in debate on football shows like sportsound. Murray is a golf writer but a complete nonentity with regards public footballing opinion.
Guys simply a Hearts twitter troll.

ROBBIE NEILSON insists some Scottish clubs only have themselves to blame if they are facing financial ruin.
Neilson is adamant Hearts will be able to survive a campaign behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 outbreak, citing prudent planning by owner Ann Budge, strong season ticket sales and the backing of fans’ group Foundation of Hearts.
By contrast, a meeting of all Championship, League One and League Two clubs on Friday resulted in several chairpersons privately suggesting that a lack of paying supporters for the foreseeable future could spell disaster.

Neilson, however, had little sympathy for the plight of hard-up rivals and accused some of painting themselves into a corner by pursuing overly optimistic forecasts regarding the return of fans.
He also questioned what has happened to James Anderson’s unprecedented handout to SPFL clubs, with the philanthropist donating £50,000 to all 42 member teams in June as a Covid contingency.
Neilson was speaking candidly after a 2-0 win against Partick Thistle, their courtroom allies during the summer after both clubs felt they had been unjustly relegated by the SPFL.
The Hearts boss said: “We are in a good position and Ann [Budge] is very clued up on it.
“She is clever and, right from the start, she thought this situation would arise, not just with the fans but with the testing scenarios as well.
“It’s up to other clubs to get themselves into that position.
“Everyone knew what might happen and a number of teams, like ourselves, budgeted for no fans – but some have budgeted for full houses in October. If you were doing things properly then you probably wouldn’t have done that, would you?
“There has been money put out there already by Mr Anderson so I’d like to think some of that has been kept for what it should be used for.”
However, Neilson is adamant his views are not indicative of any sour grapes after the Jambos were demoted, and saw subsequent attempts to challenge the SPFL through the courts and a Scottish FA tribunal fail.
He added: “We have moved on from what happened and are focused solely on ourselves.

The seethe in that from Neilson is an absolute joy to behold. Been 5 months since they were relegated but this is still hurting them real bad.

They forget that there are other clubs in that league who also want to be promoted. This smug chat, coming from a club who seem to have forgotten why they needed FoH money in the first place, has a lot of potential to come back and bite them.

To be fair she's been distracted by working on that reconstruction proposal, due any day now.

Been off social media for a while so only just caught up with this... f#ck me it is embarrassing how two so called 'professional journalists' can take the words of our CE and twist it to suit their anti-Hibs/pro-Hearts narrative.
No surprise though, must be kicking their heels until their beloved Jambos are back in action so they can sook up to 'successful businesswoman' Queen Anne... how did that 6 year plan go? Right back where they started 🤣
