    Agree entirely I hope they sell 10,000 tickets and that they stay in administration as long as possible.

    During their stay in administration I hope there are innumerate further begging bowls passed round.

    By the end of a season in which they have been pumped umpteen times both financially and in the park they will be so fed up they will stop rallying to the call and will at least do one thing with dignity - die.

    Girfuy ya bunch of roasters.
    Well said

    Talk on Brokeback of selling t-shirts to raise cash. The proposed designs show the mentality they have of "5-1 wiz wurth it big teme 1902" as opposed to maybe something along the lines of Hands off Hibs eg "Save oor Hertz".

    I wouldn't mind them surviving because I enjoy the derby, but this sort of thing just makes me love seeing them squirm. GIRFUY.



    This post has to get a shout out though,
    Think it might be better still if it was every eight seconds, I'm not keen on the number seven in a derby context
    As they so love to say, "still hurting."

    What happens if they only sell, say 2,800?
    I reckon they'll sell around 2200-2500 and hail it as a sterling and monumental effort. Bit like the successful share issue/fraud which raised just over half its intended target and they are all patting themselves on the back.

    The foh go on about BDO setting a funding target and the foh say that they support this.
    YO DONUTS.YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.

    How long is it they can't sign players? (They are going to survive this so I'm hoping Hibs get in some good victories against them before some other madmen take them over).

    Any word from your SPL contacts on whether there's any chance they'll worm out of a long transfer embargo?
    I suspect any potential new owners, unless they are totally minted, would be grateful for a transfer embargo as they need to stabilise the ship financially. With all the ST money gone, and having to exist on walk ups and cake sales they would be under extreme pressure if they could sign players which may derail the project before it gets going. Unless they are loaded of course, like Vlad, then it wouldn't be a problem and they could also owe it to themselves.

    Interesting. The first part of this statement reads like they are buttering up their pledgers to divert funds into keeping the club going over the summer.

    But then they say that FoH is about buying the club.

    I tell you what is interesting about this. If the BDO have a likely buyer they would unlikely to be giving FOH support through the Hearts website. They clearly want to give them a decent shot at it...but 3000 converted pledges will be way short of anything they need to acquire the club...

    I'm just amazed that they have blown Vlad's millions, screwed the taxpayer and other creditors, yet they expect their direct rivals to help save them by advancing money from the SPL. How hard is it to embarrass them?

    Begging doesn't do it justice FTC.

    Correct. The begging is all they currently have.

    Going into Div1 is definitely not going to stabilise any ships. More like hole what's left of it below the waterline.

    I must say I really like the scenario where they limp into the season, get humped royally round the SPL and then disappear.

    The -15 has already seen off a couple of bidders. No transfer window is more or less a given because of the timescales. An embargo stopping them signing free agents would be good and if it goes beyond the January window, might be the final nail.

    Sounds like a loth of Hearts fans will be going bankrupt pretty soon, the piggy banks must be empty by now.

    Shameful really that Hearts eejits out there will be putting money towards a lost cause instead of providing for their family in these difficult times. (no smiley appropriate).

    TBF, that's a lot more than I thought they would get. I noticed that they're not saying how much that amounts to per month.


    Actually, could somebody explain to me how that's going to work in buying the club? I'd have thought they'd need at least a few million up front. How is the monthly pedge going to help them achieve that??

    Apparently if you are part of a fans group details are irrelevant.

    I was told yesterday from a Jambo diehard that "5 mill will secure Hearts".

    I venture into Edinburgh fleetingly.

    Is this true?

    I'd think for them to survive someone would have to have at least 20m to throw away.Not gonna happen.

    Not very often but enough time to take a pic of the Hearts ticket office yesterday around 12 noon (panoramic photo has the grand total nobody in the shot). The guy I was talking to can't be described as a dafty but Jambos seem immune to reality these days!

    How do the FOH have a right to release a statement on the official site more than any other consortium?

    The 'official' site is a mess - still ads for monthly payments....sections about planning permission for big stadium development...etc etc...

    Was in a flat overlooking their ticket office yesterday afternoon around 3:30pm and took this pic, you would think they would be queuing half way down McLeod St, especially as they have to pay by cash or cheque.
