This is one reason. There's plenty others.Last edited by magpie1892; 22-08-2013 at 11:56 AM.

Message: Dear Mr Murray MP
I've just been reading the creditors list for Hearts of Midlothian, and it's pretty grim.
The particularly galling parts for me to read are where charities and taxpayer-funded bodies have been left being owed money (in effect stolen from).
These include Macrae's Battalion, the Poppy Fund, universities, police, local authorities, the NHS.
As an MP, do you have a view on what the punishment should be for businesses who act in such a manner?
Kind regards
The response I got was:
Thank you for contacting Ian Murray MP. Unfortunately, Ian is not your Member of Parliament and therefore is unable to take your issue up due to strict parliamentary protocol. Mark Lazarowicz is your MP and can be contacted by email at [email protected] or by telephone on 0131 557 0577. His constituency office is based at 5 Croall Place, EH7 4LT.
Regards
Lesley Gulland
Office of Ian Murray MP | Shadow Business Minister | Labour Member of Parliament for Edinburgh South
Constituency Office: 31 Minto Street, Edinburgh, EH9 2BT

EEN is a self serving, bitching, antagonising, shallow, ****-stirring rag of a 'paper'.

So the only reason I couldn't get a reply was I don't live within Edinburgh South constituency boundary.
Anyone out there within that boundary who wants to cut and paste the question and put it to the bold Mr Murray MP?

Thr reply from murray's office is bollocks.
A - he's a member of the UK parliament, so should be willing to answer
B - he's a shadow business secretary, so must be obliged to acknowledge and/or answer!

Interesting post in the Scotsman forum from someone who claims to be ITK re the HMFC bid, he claims they will be back in with a bid that will blow FoH out the water.
Can they still make a bid now that FoH have been named as preferred bidder?
Details of bid are as below, with no 10 being an interesting one with the Yams applying to play down south.
Some wild claims that would need substantial funding, someone taking the pi ss, fantasy or some substance.
1 HMFC Limited's bid will provide a new 25,000 capacity stadium as a valuable income generator for the Hearts over the next 30 years.
2 There is no need for fans to dip into their pockets.
3 The ownership will be in the hands of local Hearts supporters.
4 Hearts fans will be represented on the new BoD.
5 Tynecastle will be retained for posterity and developed like Highbury, retaining Hearts HQ, conference & exhibition facilities and museum etc in a newly modified main stand.
6 The three stands will be dismantled and sold to Knockhill Racing Circuit.
7 The ground will be tastefully developed into an open space with surrounding 'terracing' available for former fans ashes and a memorial fountain in the centre circle.
8 The funding will come from new money generated by the stadium.
9 Bob Jamieson has worked on this proposal for over two years.
10 He has also instructed three top QCs and an advocate at Ampersand to provide a report on the possibility of a successful application to join the English Championship. Their report was ready in May and the advice is that the application would be 99% successful.

Almost all (sorry, all) of this is bollocks.
If the group behind HMFC just wanted to buy a football club as I'm assuming some Americans who've never been to a game don't count themselves as dyed in the wool Mutants, they would not buy Hearts, they would buy Hibs, or, (for the amount of money they seem to be prepared to splash if by some insane chance it is real) the Huns.
Ignore.

Oh aye, how they gonna retain a stadium that has a major security over it (mair money)......hud oan, this is just a load oh pash aint it?
.
Seriously, if they're gonna pretend they are ITK then make it believable at least
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Jeez the boy uses Twitter to condemn Wonga and high interest loan companies yet fails to see the irony that his team and said Wonga are in partnership and his team relied on a payment from them to see them through........
I will progress this and e-mail him personally to retract the 'one complainer' statement - that is clearly wrong - oh and my e-mail was very clear not to mention my football leanings. I know other Labour supporter friends have e-mailed him too.........so he is being economical with the truth I would say......or (in fairness) being very 'literal' when it comes to answering the question 'has anyone complained' - not many people attend surgeries, but I bet plenty e-mail and write in

If you can be bothered reading it all it's on this link under the reply at his post - Imperial Echoes @ 3:33pm
He also claims BDO and Valnetas are also fully aware of this proposal which is worth £7.5m for the CVA and that when Club 9 let him down it has taken a couple of weeks to amend the HMFC Limited bid.

All this is true.
FoH have prepared a counter offer however which is being kept very secret. The 'on-the-ball' Evening News has re-tweeted this picture proving #IamanMP has gazumped the HMFC bid by going one better -

Highbury does still look like a stadium though - it's quite bizarre - I've got two friends that live in those flats
