    That is a mechanism that could save both Sevco and the Jambos -if I was Killie I would be concerned and voting no.
    How would it save Hearts?

    If it is voted in, it wouldn't take effect until next season at the earliest.

    And how would it save Rangers?

    By the way don't be surprised if Killie go pop before the season ends and those roasters get out going down again. Then again hopefully they won't even be here by then :D
    Killie should hold out until the last game of the season is played and then in the Monday go into admin.

    If they are still about that would get their backs up.

    Do exactly what they did.

    Literally the most tragic thing I've ever seen. They're almost becoming a parody of themselves.

    Never mind the financial situation. Hearts just keep giving!! Scotty Robinson whining in the papers, Locke biting back (ferrets fighting in a sack?), Locke and Billy Brown under fire for hoofball, Darren Murray off to the heady heights of administration hit Coventry City (rats and a sinking ship anyone?) talk of Gary Mackay becoming yoof supremo Does it get any better? You bet it does........ BDO, Ian Murray et al, struck dumb because they are only now realising that they have been holed below the water line by a Russian submarine, and the good ship Hawrts is heading to oblivion. Tick tock. Great days to be a Hibby!!!!

    Does anyone else love this painful ending they are going through opposed to a quick blitz? Hope it drags out even longer and they suffer even more.

    It looks very much to me that bajillions post a few weeks back was 100% correct. Ian Murray and FoH been very quiet recently and BDO regretting taking this job on. It was also posted that BDO were only 6% confident of hertz surviving and were waiting on the liths delivering the knock out punch so it didn't reflect too badly on them. Hopefully this meeting is BDO trying to show they did everything they could
    Indeed. I always look forward to seeing a post from Bajillions.

    Haven't seen one recently, though. Everything has gone quiet on all fronts. Calm before the storm?

    I await with interest the next post from our friend Bajillions.

    I'm hearing news from BBC world service that F.O.H. have issued an ultimatum to the Lithuanian authorities to withdraw any claims on Tynecastle and hand back the club, debt free, to the foundations hierarchy...if the demands are not met by Friday Morning an army of brave young recruits plan a lightning offensive that will reduce Kaunas to rubble....The initial attack will be led by Field Marshal Foulkes and The Infirmary Division of McKays Battalion...Supporting the first advance upon the Lithuanian banking sector, Major Locke- Browne of the Dalry Air Cadets will lead his brave young troops over the top and they plan to inflict a campaign of shock and awe upon the tyranical Lithuanian regime which will free the whole of Europe from the shackles of financial prudence resulting in a return of fiscal improprierty to Scottish Football...The entire continent owes Hearts a debt of gratitude for what they are about to undertake and may God Bless everyone of of them and deliver them all safely home.

    Scott Robinson wont be going though as he doesn't agree with Major Locke-Browne's military strategy..
    Are you not supposed to post a link to the Barry Anderson article you quoted that from?

    Nope, he's reading the DNA results and has just found out that he's not only Gary Locke's Dad but he's his brother too

    Flasback in time to 1998

    There's a possibility this journalist was a yam? Don't think his look into the future was that good really.

    A CITY OF TWO TALES..; What the Dickens is going on in Edinburgh? While Hearts are battling it out with the Old Firm at the top of the Premier, Hibs are fighting for survival. Our man in the capital RAY HEPBURN investigates the cause of the chasm between the arch-rivals.

While Hearts are battling it out with the Old Firm at the top of the Premier, Hibs are fighting for survival. Our man in the capital RAY HEPBURN investigates the cause of the chasm between the arch-rivals.</a>

    HIBERNIAN: From Duff to Duffy

    THE day David Duff walked into Easter Road Easter Road is the home ground of Scottish football club Hibernian. Located in the Leith area of Edinburgh, the stadium has a capacity of 17,500, making it the seventh largest stadium in Scotland and the largest stadium used primarily for football in Edinburgh. in August 1987, the Edinburgh club picked up a tab they are still paying for.

    Duff's grand plan - to establish a property-dealing parent company that would provide a "financial drip" - led to receivership in just three years.

    Kwikfit millionaire Tom Farmer responded to the vociferous "hands off Hibs" campaign and fought off Wallace Mercer's bid to merge the two clubs. Hibs fan and local businessman Douglas Cromb took over and last year, in came Lex Gold.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    But Hibs are being run by committee with no one apparently "at risk" when things go wrong.

    Alex Miller was sacked after a decade in October 1996, and although that seemed harsh, it was probably true that after 10 years his freshness had gone.

    Jocky Scott who has had some success as both a player and manager was a solid caretaker for 10 weeks but luring Jim Duffy from Dens park was an error.

    The former Celtic defender saw Hibs scrape past Airdrie in last season's play-offs, and two weeks after his departure, they are five points adrift at the bottom of the table.

    Duffy made 12 signings in his 14 months at Hibs and in the recent home defeat by Kilmarnock, eight were not considered good enough to start.

    Chairman Gold's resignation two weeks ago underlines Hibs' lack of leadership. Now Alex McLeish is trying to gain control of a juggernaut hurtling toward the First Division.

    HEARTS: From bust to boom

    WHEN Wallace Mercer strode in the front door of Tynecastle in the summer of 1981, First Division Hearts were on the way to being a big club again.

    The property millionaire's cheque for pounds 250,000 was to save the Edinburgh club from going to the wall. Five short years later Hearts came within an ace of winning the Premier from Celtic.

    Now under Chief Executive Chris Robinson, his bitter public feud with Mercer now happily history, the Tynecastle club are in a position to go one better.

    The Robinson master-stroke was to persuade Falkirk manager Jim Jefferies to return to the club he had served as a player in the 70s.
    His inspired work in the transfer market has transformed the team.

    Robinson's flotation on the Stock Market and Jefferies' assured stewardship of the team spells stability.

    And with time still on the manager's side, he might yet provide hungry Hearts fans with the trophy they have craved for 36 years.

    Whatever the future holds, :Hearts have an ambitious platform which was born 17 years ago and lives on under the new regime for the next century.

    THE HIBS HOWLERS

    JIM DUFFY'S appointment as manager meant keeper Jim Leighton returning to Aberdeen. The pair did not get on well at Dundee and Leighton told a team-mate on Duffy's first day: "That's the end for me here."

    HIBS' decision not to increase their bid for David Platt at Crewe Alexandra in 1988, after Alex Ferguson had recommended him to Alex Miller.

    Accompanied by then club managing director Jim Gray, Miller offered around pounds 150,000 for the former Manchester United midfield player.

    The decision not to tempt Crewe with an increased offer deprived the Edinburgh club of millions in subsequent transfer fees which could have transformed the future.

    THE HEARTS HIGH SPOTS

    THE signing of David Weir for pounds 250,000 from Falkirk 18 months ago may qualify for the best piece of transfer business conducted in Scotland in the nineties.

    A cultured defender and frequently dangerous attacker when pushing forward, Weir has introduced an elusive touch of class at the back for Hearts. Such has been his progress as he coped with a steep step up in level, he seems certain to be in Craig Brown's World Cup squad in France.

    FLOTATION on the Stock Exchange last year was timed perfectly. Floated at pounds 1.40, the shares may not have proved to be the best investment made by the big institutional buyers, trading as they are now around pounds 1.

    But the exercise raised vital funds with precious little time to spare as the banks became increasingly anxious about the club's debts in excess of pounds 5m.
