Can they not just parade the League Cup round all the schools and charge each kid a quid to have their picture taken with it like they did with the Scottish Cup last season?
Oh wait...

Jamie McDonald is not THAT bad a keeper, I would think he is the first player most likly to leave/someone wanting, motherwell needing a replacement for Randolph?? a league 1 team maybe, other than that I cant think who else they have of any significance.

I think they would improve the squad immediately but i agree that it may harm the young players we have coming through in midfield.

The other thing the deluded ones seem to forget is that Hibernian's owner continues to support the club and ensures it is run on a sound financial basis. In addition, when needed he will also put in some money as required. As to the debt to which the deluded one refers, it is mainly mortgage which is under control and subject to agreements with the lenders. So far as I can see Hibernian has not run up a debt with HMRC and is able to pay its other bills on time. Yes Hibs have had to cut their cloth and have been doing so for years but our neighbours have never appeared to recognise the word prudence. They do however have a fine line in getting cash from their supporters by blackmail. The supporters seem happy to put their hands in their pockets. They do so only, it appears, to have bragging rights over us as the big team. However, they are now drowning in debt and problems and it will need more that the kids pocket money. The best thing would be for the Club to roll over and die and then others can pick up the remains from the ashes. A fool and his money are easily parted. Romanov saw that in the fans but didn't see his own troubles
coming - more fool him. I do hope that Hearts do not die completely as I do believe both teams need each other but I do hope they have a long and severe bout of montezuma's revenge - it will be good for them.
In the meantime we should go about our business as normal - as the Egyptians say "if you wait long enough the bodies of your enemies will come floating past you in the Nile!"

If they paid the proper wages and taxes, it would be squillions more.
Anent the general situation, I've always had my suspicions that any cash generated by the Yams was immediately whisked off to Vlad's wee account in the Cayman Islands or wherever. When they say they have spent all next season's ticket cash already, could that mean it has been transferred out of the Yams' bank account?
Anent another matter, someone on here, I think, got the information from the Cooncil that the Yams owed something like £55,000 in back business rates. Has anyone got up-to-date figures? I hope they are also up-to-date with their dues for policing. Wouldn't want the Cooncil to write off debt to help them out, would we?
I wonder if their comment about issues with the death-trap, accident-waiting-to-happen main stand could mean that the Cooncil has finally refused to issue a safety certificate? Comments anyone?

From the last Jambo friend I have on Bookface. I'm lost for words..
"Laugh make jokes do whatever you like but we will never feel the way you did on the 19th of May 2012. That day the edinburgh derby died, hibs died and you also died. We might go bust and come back as a newco but you will never forget the 19th of May"

Jamie Walker is the only young player I would be tempted to bring to Hibs - more gifted that Dean Horribine in my opinion however Dean has more tenacity and better workrate.
Tapping, McHattie, McGowan, Holt, Carrick, Billy McKay............wouldn't go near any of them. Hibs have better players coming through in the 20's than that lot put together.
I've always liked John Sutton - he's an honest pro who tends to give his all in games. Yes he's been around the houses in SPL terms but for me he would also be a very decent addition. I'm sure there are those that would disagree however.

Loving that statement from Hearts.
"recent unexpected circumstances away from Tynecastle". Puzzled as to how this could have any influence on a self proclaimed self sustaining business.
Just enough blame attached to the stay away potential season ticket holders to sway even a few hundred of the hard of thinking muppets to renew. Bleeding them dry again with emotional blackmail, an absolute masterstroke by a morally bankrupt organisation.
Playing the mug punters like a flute, Vlad i salute you.

He takes what Hearts says and prints it verbatim.

I also think it's not worth bidding at the moment. It's looking increasingly likely that they'll be available for free anyway.

If it were me in charge, i'd suggest they sold some new shares to the fans. That could bring in a few bob, and they would then get some kind of say in how the club is run in the future.

Paying the players isn't the main priority and a transfer ban is a positive if you ask me.
Yep to both. The players come after the tax bill, because not paying them doesn't get us wound up.
and this is funny too, where do they think FOH will get the cash
With a transfer embargo looming, why don`t FOH, if they are as interested as the say they are regarding a takeover, pay the players?
Doing this would almost certainly get the doubters on their side!

Yea, of course we did
Couldn't you tell when we pumped them out the cup ( in the same year ) and then in the last minute at the bus shelter a few weeks back
Aye, dead and buried we are

Had to laugh at them trying to blame the Huns' demise.
1. They voted for it, complete with strongly worded statement.
2. Their average attendance only dropped by a couple of hundred.
3. With the Huns around they'd have been at least a place lower and been in a straight relegation fight with St Mirren.
Lower than a snake's belly.

My favourite quote today on KB has to be the trumpet bleating about poor ST sales.
'we've sold 6500 this year compared to 8000 at the same time last year. Meanwhile Hibs have just announced sale of 8k.'
For a team that has been supposedly killed off we seem to be a lot more alive and kicking than them.

So according to this genius, losing a Scottish Cup final /albeit emphatically and to our greated rivals) felt worse than it will feel to see his entire club go out of business and cease to exist in the form it has for 100+ years?
I don't believe that. Fud.
