    Sad to see Hearts staff being made redundant today. I think even Hibs would agree this should never happen! People have Families to support!

    Yep, sad to see the staff being the losers, always the way of it!

    Just gone on Kickback for the first time during this debacle - I cannot believe the thread entitled 'All this worry. Worth it?'. The vast majority are actually suggesting that their current situation is 'worth it' for the 2 cups and the 2nd place finish. What, worth destroying people's livelihoods? Worth the very possible extinction of your club and its 139 year history? Worth losing your spiritual home?

    I'm stunned.

    Administrators told staff they hope to retain majority of playing staff. But some will need to be sold.
    When does the transfer window open, 1st July? They need funds to see them through the next 11 days - like yesterday - and pay the administrators.

    I can't see that they will survive, and suspect this will be the quickest football admin - liquidation in history.

    Not nice that anyone has lost their job, but bizarrely few seem to blame Romanov!

    Superb! Like most on here though I feel for the innocent & probably low-paid staff losing their jobs.

    The best I can say for them is that perhaps the Rangers administration has given a false impression of what administration is like. I say that because most fans, whose clubs have not been previously been affected by it, would only have paid much attention to the process when it happened to them. That was a complete fix and a farce of an administration. It was all pre-agreed and pre-planned, with the scheme only scuppered to any meaningful extent by the "no to newco" campaign.

    Unfortunately for the ordinary folk who work for Hearts, this is not typically the case anywhere else.

    Just drove past tyne and theres loads of media vans parked in the main car park so did the obligatory toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot Hibes as I drove past. Then turned onto Gorgie and as driving past the other entrance on Gorgie road, you couldn't make this up, a Hearse was parked right outside the stand , turned and said to the Mrs "how apt is that". Its great days to be a Hibee
    Yeah' saw that, thought it was rather amusing !!

    It's not nice but Hearts fans themselves think its all worth it. I suppose that includes seemingly innocent members of their staff losing their jobs. This is part of what they have encouraged and enjoyed to win a couple of cups. Perhaps the sight of normal punters leaving their jobs later will change their worth it stance. Doubt it though.

    Sad to see anyone lose there jobs.
    i wonder if Ian murray MP will console these people
    by telling them it was worth it?
    i wonder if the wetoldyesothinkback mob can see the irony yet
    of boasting about all this being worth it,yet on the same hand
    condem job losses?
    to the people who have lost there jobs today
    i and most hibbys wish you well in seeking employment.

    I think almost every recent club administration has given almost every football fan a false impression. I can't recall many if any clubs since Airdrie and Aldershot going boom. Administration is to football fans what bankruptcy is to normal people on the street. We all think it's a get out clause, a chance to rid ourselves of debt without much come back. The reality is, it's a major pain up the arse unless you happen to be Rangers. Even if they exit admin, Dundee is proof that it's easy to slip back into the red.

    To be fair, in 1990 when the news broke about Mercer's take over, I and many others headed straight for the stadium as we wanted to hear what was going on. There was a virtual vigil for the entire time it was going on. Nowadays, you're better being at home with your laptop and Sky Sports News.

    Ian Murray MP was on the last plane up from Heathrow last night. Bound to be him and the rest of FoH. Bet they announce ticket sales for Hibs game immediately to get cash through the door with a begging bowl to sell the stock in the shop. By the way anyone seen the container ship full of strips yet?
    Haven't heard any interest in the club, but there's a couple of of Somali pirate crews going to put a bid in for the strips.

    Exactly - maybe the guys saying it was 'worth it' should nip along to Tynie today and use that rhetoric to reassure those losing their jobs.

    Can't help feeling the yam's situation will have a short term negative impact on Hibs. So to do my bit I've just signed up a direct debit for the Hibs youth development fund: http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/page/Th...,10290,00.html
    Wall done EC.

    We all need to encourage "lapsed" Hibees to come back/buy season tickets.

    Playing good football and winning would help!

    Just what I was about to say. Any other club - including Rangers - and there would be fans at the ground showing a bit of solidarity, even if it might not achieve much.

    That bunch of smug flippant losers deserve everything that's coming.

    They still back Vlad.

    It's like spending a million quid on lottery tickets and getting all excited because you got three numbers on one of them.

    Your two tainted cups and horsing from Spurs will never be worth it.

    Roasters.

    BDO were only installed yesterday. Now less than 24 hours later they're saying it's the worst they've ever seen and making people redundant.

    That's pretty fast going - bearing in mind the amount of paperwork they'd need to look at to get a semblance of what their true financial state is? But this seems to me like they've taken one look at the accounts and said the games a bogey.

    Do any of our finance experts know what's typical?

    I've got no knowledge in this area but in past administration cases in football I've noticed that the administrators tend to speak as positively as possible at this stage. Very ominous for the yams.

    Although Rangers fans were mocked for their behaviour at the time at least they showed a bit of solidarity and disgust at how their club had been run.

    Hearts seem to accept it as though it's an occupational hazard of being a "big team". Sacrificing your club to beat Hibs for a few years isn't worthy of some sort of protest or show of defiance that they will get through their current problems? Truly a pathetic support who view themselves as above the passion and emotion which football is famed and admired for.

    It's doesn't bode well for whatever happens to them. If they end up as a newco, it seems like they will be lucky to get the die-hards going along every week to watch them in division 3. Rangers are a huge club in comparison to Hearts and they wont have their resources to achieve back-to-back promotions like Sevco surely will.
