    Did he not leave Utd because he signed a contract with Blackpool for the start of next season?

    Or am I wrong / lost / misguided / drunk etc etc?

    Some utterly hilarious quotes from Houston on the managers job in the papers...are you sure you are in a sane frame of mind Peter?

    If they get as much of a helping hand off the pitch as they do on it, then I just can't see it ever happening.

    It's fair to say that Hearts dodged a bullet today. Thankfully they have an Exocet missile heading their way that might prove to be harder to dodge.

    I'm not so sure they did. They needed a win to get into the top 6 before the split and they failed. The financial implications of that, and the points deduction should they (or UBIG) go into administration, are taking them one step closer to oblivion.

    I really hate that club and what they got away with today really just reinforces that, for all their cheating, overspending and the rest they still seem tae get away with murder. The sooner the are deid the better.

    They are 6 points behind us and we occupy 6th spot. They have two games left and we have three.They need to win both and overturn an eleven goal deficit in the process. That is assuming we don't pick up any more points before the split. All that is ignoring any of the teams between us not doing anything to pick up points either. I haven't looked at the fixtures but I think all three things going their way are highly unlikely. I think it's fair to say they are bottom six. The only question remaining is will we be there beside them.

    Hopefully they are limping along, trying desperately to survive until the cup final. Once they are beaten in the final, they'll start to unravel.

    I'm sure if they had secured top 6, then they would have taken admin/points hit. Now that option is practically impossible!

    It would require them to overcome a 12 goal difference in 2 games and for Hibs, Dundee United and Kilmarnock not to win a game out of the 3 each that they have left.
    That's a huge "ask" by any standards, even with half the referees giving them a helping hand.

    They have next to no chance. In terms of odds I would say 500-1. Or 8 snookers required playing with a broken arm.

    They've scored 30 goals in 31 games and now require at least 11 in 2 games. 5,000/1 is probably still a bit miserable.

    To make the top six they need all of the following to happen:

    To win their remaining two games
    Hibs to lose all their remaining three games
    The goal difference swing to be more than 11 (that's possible since Hibs losing would worsen our goal difference)
    Killie to get no more than two points fron their remaining three games
    Aberdeen and United to draw when they play each other and then lose all their remaining games.

    Let's just say they have no chance what's so ever

    It will never happen in a million years.

    They need 8 - maybe 9. Maybe less. If we lose 3, which we'd have to by at least one goal each time, that's a gd of 8 to overcome.

    And we lost 3 by 2 goals each, very possible, they only need to up their gd by 5 or 6 ... depending on how many goals are being scored.

    Well, they won't be in the top six. This seems to be informing the attitude of the Yams, who seem surprisingly downcast after getting that disgusting freebie. They really needed a win, and their failure to get one and make the top six is another nail in their coffin. That's why I couldn't get too upset about the goal 'decision'.

    In the grand picture, we actually did a decent bit of damage yesterday. A defeat would have been a disaster and given them strong momentum for a top six finish and a relatively inconsequential administration. A win would have been nice, as it would have led to extreme blood-letting down Gorgie way. But a draw is a bit of a head-mess for them.

    Well that would take us out of the equation, but what about Dundee Utd, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen (two of which play each other) losing every game they play between now and the split?

    I see they still haven't sold out their 25K cup final tickets, compare to 30K Hibbies v Killie and 40K v Livi. Poor show from the super enormously massive big team with the best crop of youngsters in the history of world football.

    Totally agree. They have cheated in order to win for years and now officials are cheating on their behalf.

    They all assume they are getting bought by some Scandinavian, Norwegian, Swedish, Russian, Scottish, Portuguese (take your pick) consortium. They don't know who they are, what the deal is, how much investment will be made, who will own the ground etc

    What they do know is that all of the debt will be written off and they will start with a debt free situation in the summer. They also know that the new owners, despite likely to be unknown foreigners are lining up a big name Scottish manager like Levein (chortle)

    This will all be announced on Thursday or Friday this week, eliminating any threat to them for ever more and a major boost in advance of the cup final.
