    As I mentioned earlier in the thread I believe that their contract will run out June 29th. Scottish Rugby Union are to move in their for 6 months due to the training pitches at Murrayfield undergoing repair. This is from a family member who does work with the SRU.
    But Gordon Mckie will fix it for them to train WITH the Rugby squad.

    Had a look at reports on McKie leaving the SRU. Seem to be a few unanswered questions and as for his great financial wizardry,...
    he managed to reduce the SRU overdraft from £20 million to £15 million in 6 years.

    Pity the Yams never got him in before they went bust, they could have been debt free by about 2050.

    It's too late for them to do anything meaningful now, all they can do is give more of their ill gotten gains to the club and hope that someone with a spare 10m comes along and saves them. When action was required they burried their heads in the sand and hid behind 5-1 and we owe it to ourselves. When the bulldozers are moving in they will finally realise that they have let the club they love, the club their fathers and grandfather's loved go down the tubes without a fight. They have got a thread on brokeback to save their war Memorial, the irony is that the names on that war memorial had the guts to stand up and be counted unlike their present day counterparts.


    Their world war ancestors would be ashamed.

    Kevin mchatties name keeps popping up as one of their top prospects, that says it all about how pish they are! The guy is absolutely honking.
    Hyped by the ever clueless Scottish media bingo The same media that claimed Eoin Jess was the new Kenny Dalglish. The same press that gave Darren Mackie the title 'the Scottish Wayne Rooney'. Jeez the Scottish media only gave Davie Cooper his deserved credit after Ruud Gullit claimed he was the best player he's played against - the man had been a genuis on the pitch for years before that.

    McHattie, as I stated after their first game of the season, is poor - there for the taking when up against pace. All he really has in his armoury is a set piece delivery. Dylan McGowan makes me shake my head and weep - with tears of laughter when folk claim he is a good footballer. Callum Tapping is as lightweight a footballer as you will see. Dale Carrick runs about like he's drank a can of Red Bull with fizz bombs in it - nowt else. They also claim Billy King is the 'next big thing' - they'll need to chain a weight to his ankle then because a wee gust of wind would blow the boy out of Tynie into Chesser he's that skinny. Another who the press have stupidly claimed is a 'prospect'.

    Jamie Walker is a real talent. Holt is decent. Brad McKay is definitely a prospect too. That as they say is that though.

    I've seen nothing in their youth teams to suggest thay have a 'production line of talent' as is always claimed on the Beeb especially. I'll guarantee that Brian McLauchlin and Co don't watch youth football games - yet they feel qualified to hype up the kids on the briefest of viewings in an SPL game or two.

    In fact, recently I've seen better kids attached to Livi, Killie and St Johnstone than I have Hibs and Hearts. And that's being honest and impartial. Killie have one of the best midfielders I've seen (aged 13) in a long long time as far as youth football goes.

    After the Mackie error they quickly bestowed the 'Wayne Rooney' tag on John Fleck.

    I think that merely corroborates the charge treadstone - can we now move to convict the Scottish media of talking utter mince

    Prior to them going in to administration this pillar of the community was suggesting that Yams should buy season tickets using their credit cards as the banks would take the hit. You would think his party would want to distance themselves from the immoral self serving prick.
    I don't think that's true.

    Why are the media and companies showing them sympathy?

    They've systematically cheated for years? Why are blatant cheats being rewarded? I feel a rant coming on.

    Just been told by a YAM who has always been pretty much on the button in the past, that 15 players have accepted a pay cut but Sutton has refused to take any kind of reduced salary and wants his full pay. No doubt that means he will be getting nothing, whilst the rest of them will be getting half of nothing

    Danny Wilson is buying four Hearts season tickets (2 adult & 2 child) which will be donated to Hearts charity.

    http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/articles/2...241384_3219262

    After this some of the comments on Yamback are funny
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    That is unreal...

    I wonder if there would be some way off paying him some wages (Not from the club, maybe Fans!!!) And having him train with Hearts but not registered, then as soon as we get out of Admin we can sign him up on the Books, his show of commitment to Hearts is exactly what we need and It would be a shame to lose that passion.

    Worth looking into perhaps!!!!
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    It would be interesting to know if he'd be happy to sit in the background for a month or 2 and get a wage, if so perhaps a Sponsorship could be lodged.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    That's classy, top man. You never know if we do somehow get out of administration before 31 August we may be able to sign him up if he's not been signed up. Maybe wishful thinking but hey we live in hope. Well done Danny lad.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    you never know if the club comes out of administration before the 31st of august he might just be our first signing

    It's simple PH - Scottish football is a patient on life support. The Rangers are in Division 2, and whilst they remain a huge club, the juicy stories from Ibrox have dried up and are just little column fillers nowadays. They are scrambling about to fill the back pages at a time where football is on it's knees. Be unkind to Hearts, as they were seen as being with Rangers (by The Rangers fans and staff), then that is two big Scottish clubs who will 'remember' and quite perversely point the finger of blame - it's happening now with The Rangers fans groups - this 'it was your fault (media and other Scottish clubs) and you're now reaping what you sow' type behaviour.

    It's a bit like someone in debt blaming the credit card company - this 'if they hadn't have given me credit I wouldn't be in this mess'. However the credit card staff didn't walk into Thomas Cook and book the all inclusive holiday to the Carribean or buy the expensive shoes, or buy that expensive plasma screen, the actual punter did

    Hearts have to, and have thus far failed to, show humility and some responsibility for their reckless actions - they owe that apology to the tax paying public, just as The Rangers should have. They owe money to the tax payer - that should be paid.

    Instead, in typically Scottish (and British) fashion, fingers are pointed out the way from Tynecastle and others are expected to show not only sympathy, but to absorb the mess themselves by simply allowing Hearts to be saved - under this guise of 'saving Scottish football'.

    Scottish football will always be there - in some shape or form. Hearts will always be there, in some shape or form. What division it is in, that's for the authorities to decide.

    The key word for me is 'responsibility'. Every club in Scotland needs to become more responsible. The 'football clubs are different' approach has to stop. Tom English really went down in my estimation last week when he claimed other clubs were being petty and ignorant when Hearts were 'laying off' staff - we should show sympathy he said. Tom mate, how about when a company gets into over £40 million in debt, others around the game then see big big earners being the first to lose their job in that case, not the girls in the office. Who after all are the most likely to able to get by in a redundancy situation Tom ? I'll wager that the girl on low income, losing her job, is really heartene d to read that Ryan and Co are agreeing to 'half wages' - wages that no doubt still are way over what she got paid A quite idiotic response from Mr English at the end of the day asking or us to show sympathy.

    Hahah just seen this on sh**back
    Talking about Sutton going


    Fair enough, he was probably being asked to take a 70-80% cut.

    Were there not noises the other week about the SPL allowing us grace to fill positions we have no players for even if we have a transfer ban? So Sutton's loss could be Goodwillie and/or Boyd's gain. :whistling:

    By Tom English's logic a job at Tynecastle is more worth saving than job losses at relegated Dundee who Hearts have cheated.

    This is human nature isn't it? A big motorway pile up will make the news, but individual accidents might not (even if they add up to more casualties).

    By knowingly paying wages they can't afford (the first problems with pay roll happened almost 5 years ago) Hearts have damaged the prospects of many other clubs, lessening their income and causing who knows what negative impacts in terms of employment and other economic impacts.

    Likewise, their failure to cough up to HMRC does nothing to help public finances, thus pushing back the date when the current "austerity" measures from the UK government might be relaxed.

    But of course they don't care about that.

    What I find amusing (and humbling) is that previous Hibernian players have all contributed six figure sums (individually) to The Academy and thus the club - in order for it to flourish. This they have done off their own backs when they have been sold.

    Craig Gordon (alegedly £9 million), Templeton (£1.5) million, Ryan McGowan, Velicka, Skacel (to Southampton for around £2 million), Lee Wallace, Paul Hartley (£1 million to Celtic), Berra to Wolves.............the list of high money moves goes on - Hearts only need £800,000 to 'survive' yet I don't see any news of these players, all of whom made their name at Hearts and got big money moves, writing big cheques as a thank you and to help ?

    Their hoardes are happy that young Wilson, a loanee, pays for 2 adults and 2 children and that McGowan promises to buy one for every thousand sold - oh and that Skacel can pull a pint or two in a local boozer there is most certainly a Hibs and Hearts class after all eh

    The crass irony of Locke going to Swally McCoist for a friendly to bail them out is just comedy - only, and I mean only, Hearts could act in such a way. One of their fans actually came up to me this week claiming Hearts had a 'special relationship' with Liverpool - aye, an especially bad one it seems - they gave you lot Wilson and N'Goo

    Don't panic, they will just tell the demolition guys - we won 5-1, and 1902 and that will save them. After all, 400,000 cant be wrong, can they ?

    IF they do die, they will be forever known as the club that died without any real fight.


    Pathetic, spineless supporters who have failed to do anything over the years to try stop this happening as they were far too busy believing vlads fantasy and lording up thinking they are the "big team".


    Hands of Hibs campaign showed passion and showed how REAL fans take REAL action to save their club.
