    Whether you buy it or not doesn't change the situation that without that pathetic cronyism, the paper doesn't get the stories. The gritty investagitive journalism only really helps when there's a big story, it doesn't shift papers on a slow news day, week, month.

    The status quo suits all parties, Hibs/Yams get stories - mostly positive - regularly in the papers, and the EEN keeps it's readership happy.
    And there's no big yam story at the moment

    Sorry, don't buy that. The yams are going down the pan ... what happens to income from yammugs for the een at that point? Only bothering to ask utterly inane questions isn't going to prolong the life of the yams one whit. Doing a serious bit of investigative journalism boosts the een income from the yammugs who just might show a bit more interest in what the een has to say. The yams shutting up shop and refusing to speak to the een means exactly what to the een? Nothing; all they get from either club are scraps already in the public domain.

    The een has nothing to gain from pathetic cronyism ... and quite a bit from showing a bit of teeth. Except it can't, because its principal yam reporting journalist is a male dangly thing.

    Agreed. There's a big difference from churning out the usual 'No we definitely won't be selling player x during the transfer window' type nonsense and writing this kind of toadying crap that is helping to convince mugs to hand over every penny they have to the 'cause' when really they should be trying to inform the fans of what the reality is.

    At the end of the day, as funny as some of this nonsense has been, people not smart enough or too blinded by emotion to know better are pouring their cash into this mess believing it to be the right thing to do. I hope the knowledge that come the inevitable end of this when the club could well be gone and that money will have made itself at home in Vlad's cash pile won't stop ****holes like Barry Anderson sleeping at night, because while the bosses over at the PBS can spout whatever nonsense they want, it is the duty of those calling themselves 'journalists' to seek the truth.

    You can just imagine how that conversation would go....

    Investor: "I would be very interested in purchasing your company."

    Vlad: "Well have I got the deal of a life time for you! For just a measly 8 million pounds, you will inherit a whopping 22 million pounds worth of debt and you'll not need to worry about taking care of any of the assets as I'll still have 100% ownership over them."

    Investor: "I beg your pardon..."

    Vlad: "£22,000,000 worth of debt, for just £8,000,000!"

    Investor: *jumps out window*
    brilliant.

    Disagree. They should have declared war on Vlad years ago and sent out rallying calls for the fans to save their club before it was too late. If they'd been clever about it then they might even have got a fair amount of Hibbies on board. Instead they've played along with the yams and fed their delusions of grandeur.

    As it is, all they now can do is sit back and wait for the inevitable to happen and feign outrage when the impossible happens.
    I know that some of the journos agree with you but the editors don't want to rock the boat.

    If I was a jambo right now I'd be wanting those questions answered but I'm guessing there's not the same demand for answers across on jkb just now? Speaking of which I can't believe there's not at least been a protest against Vlad after one of there recent home games considering the stick they gave the pieman

    I think they always thought they could oust the Pieman.

    They also have face to save, having worshipped him and made declarations of eternal love and devotion. Protesting means admitting to themselves and others that they were taken for a ride.

    Poppy Shirt scam...

    Auction 2 is a signed mehdi taouil match worn strip, worn by medhi at the game v Inverness on rememberance weekend, the strip includes the poppy badge, the strip also comes with a Letter of authenticity signed by David southern. Bearing in mind Jason holts poppy strip went last week for £1150 these are sought after items so please dig deep for the cause.
    **** right off with this 'Poppy - WWI' scam. I simply stuck a fiver in the British Legion tin and wore one with pride.

    I really do detest those

    I'd always thought it was LBJ - but according to Wiki it was Nixon's strategist Chuck Colson who had it pinned to the wall of his office.

    I have it on good authority that Zalsuckass's cup final shirt fetched £1500 at auction, the new owner is...............................zalsuckass.
    In his vain attempt to push the bidding he ended up paying for his own shirt..........a true fud

    No he didn't. He drove up the bidding then backed down letting someone else in. He bought the Steven Gerrard shirt he swapped at the recent Europa match. He had donated it himself. Personally I respect him for doing his bit including deferring his wages.

    They can take his donation off the wages he is due but will never see.

    Think between you and Bingo you've got the answer.

    Bingo's point especially rings true - one of the big selling points of the EEN is the Hibs and Yams coverage. IF they peed off either club to the point where they stopped getting any stories at all, then it's going to hit them.

    They need to keep the clubs sweet - don't bite the hand that feeds you and all that.
    oh contraire, I think that the een getting shunned by tha gorgie mob, would sell much more papers to Hibernian minded readers I'D buy a dozen extra a day and pop them into the doors of some of the older folk in my street, free of charge

    Why doesn't Anderson ask him what the current debt figure is?

    Why doesn't Anderson ask him who really owns the stadium?

    Why doesn't Anderson ask him what UBIG's game plan is? Fedotovas is a director of UBIG and will know EXACTLY what's going on.
    you ask all the real questions here Mikey , but as a few others say,it's possible that young journos are under instructions not to actually rock boats etc, although they might be itching to do so. the man you refer to is an A1 fud imho but nevertheless the bold Sergie has answered in a way that I'm quite delighted and that is by saying; meanwhile we are working on improving the business of the club ,that will make it more competative and more attractive to investors. I nearly pished masel at that bit. then,:we are prepaired to speak to any reasonable buyer.meanwhile there "was" no reasonable offer from the foundation. that looks like they are definately out of the equation, and will no longer be involved or even considered. when Sergie said "was" ,does he mean not yet/ or forget that lot?

    unless he got done as the 2nd higest bidder (as the top bidder was a phone bidder and maybe didnt pay) i would say this is untrue also it didnt go for quite that much

    Mark Donaldson said on twitter he think that is just for the club. Whoever takes it over would also have to service the debt to Romanov and pay him rent.

    What a guy.

    The actual deal is £5m for club free of debt but no assets - Romanov will accept that I am reliably advised.
    The real problem area for any buyer is the subject of "football rights". FOH have no chance so it's all wind and pash from them.

    Is that just free of UKIO debts, or will it also include HMRC debts?

    Even if the deal was as good as that, there is no way that bank finance will be involved on those terms. Whoever buys Hearts will have to use their own money. That almost never happens on Football. Can't see it happening with the Yams.

    What's that you repeatedly accuse Hibs fans of? Wishful thinking? File it under that.

    I don't think Romanov knows what Romanov wants, so I doubt whether your "reliable" advisor knows anything useful.

    Lethargy amongst the Jambos

    The pace an momentum seems to have died aroun their fundraising . 3 weeks after they realised they face oblivion , thy have not even 50 percent of ht is required to secure themselves for the rest of the season.

    They have not sold out their game tonight . So they managed 1 sell out

    I think there is still some waking up and coffee smelling to do over there...

    It certainly lacks the intensity of our Hands off Hibs campaign
