To be fair they do have a point. After all they as supporters and the overall club have not in anyway benefitted from spend spend spend strategy which has given them players on 3-5 x what clubs like Hibs, Aberdeen etc can afford. Thu have never had any sporting advantage or achieved a cup success or two as a consequence.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The argument about being self sufficient or is it profit making now? Is very strong. They are now operating in a financial model which we can only dream of.

Their "Big Team" years were financed by the unwitting investors of UKIO Bankas and the Lithuanian tax-payer. Now it's time to pay it back. Can't see how they can complain.

2. Between them UBIG and UKIO have loaned or donated (via debt for equity swaps) somewhere north of £50M to Hearts.* Ukio collapsed owing £300M. Now obviously there was more to their collapse than just pissing money away on Hearts, but it's delusional to claim that it had *nothing* to do with it.
*Workings:
Ukio is currently owed £15M
UBIG is currently owed £10M
There were debt / equity swaps for £12M in 2008 and £10M in 2010 (source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...an/9123930.stm )
It cost Romanov about £4M to buy the shares from Robinson (£860K for 19.6%) and other shareholders in 2005. (source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...an/3696726.stm )
Total: £51M

"Football finance expert" Neil Patey is quoted in tomorrow's Scotsman as saying there is a "strong possibility" that HMFC will enter administration in the coming months.

It also appears someone in Scotsman towers has been reading the SPL rulebook, as they state it would be an 18 point deduction (not 17 as previously reported). Although that doesn't make much difference now.

" is payable in monthly installments from May 2013 to April 2015 and interest of £ 85,000 will be added to the outstanding balance over the 3 year period of repayment. "Is that not 2 years ?
But they are monthly installments not the £ 500 K that was once thought.

Whatever, next.....a share issue, a clear-the-decks-of-all-our-crap jumble sale or perhaps a bake sale? Oh no, wait a minute......
"Experts", eh? That'll be an extra 15% on my fee, thank you very much. Not much improvement from The Scotsman, then.

It may be a slow painful death for them, which makes it all the more amusing.

Neil Pately also states , "Hearts have now returned to self-sustaining."
Neil is obviously not an expert of any description !

It's clear these people need some education in what has occurred within their club over the last couple of decades.
I find this sufficient, if they don't understand they are obviously stupid, if they do understand but still cling to the attitudes described above they are not only stupid they are stupid bigots who have no idea what supporting a football club is about.
