No problem with that but "worrying" about their plight still seems OTT. Revelling in their predicament, whatever befalls them is going to be bad even if they extricate themselves from their current owners, seems ok.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Polarisation of arguments on the internet, whodda thunk it.If you find that sad there isn't a lot I can do about it ,but if you want to contribute your direct Debit to There fighting fund feel free .
I don't remember them all standing on the away Terracing at the Hands off Hibs event and that was there chance to show Solidarity with our plight so I assume they were happy with Mercers devious ploy when Tiny Rowland had shafted us to buy hotel chains in Bristol that were going down the swanny, he set up our then out his depth chairman ,Mr Duff to have a meeting with mercer in London to help us out financially .Duff had no idea he was meeting mercer and no idea the proposal being put to him was I will help out but make Hibs extinct in the process . Now if you are asking does that make me emotional ,the answer is yes . Now maybe I should let that all go ,but in some way Liquidation would go some way to righting that wrong .Mr Duff could of sold his soul to the Devil ,but he was a Hibby at heart and held out ,and eventually was jailed for his financial wrongdoing .( so there is a moral in there) Sir Tom had to step in or we would still have been in deep trouble
Are you aware of Duff's financial wrong-doing and why he served time? The hotels etc were in Bath BTW not Bristol.

The Rowland in question was David Rowland a much nastier piece of work than tiny Rowland allegedly, we quite like his ex missus though

Duff got about 18 months for some mortgage fraud business, nothing to do with Hibs . Did time in an open prison which was pretty cushy but got struck off as a Solicitor.

At least our Mr Nasty had a waterfront penthouse in Monte Carlo, unlike the Govan lot whose " wealth off the radar " Motherwell born Billionaire stayed in back street in Monte Carlo about a mile from the front.

Which makes me wonder. Whatever happened to the Leslie Deans story? He's been charged with working for Mr Popadopoulous and not a cheep from the EEN after one story last year.

Hibs class shyster
, who also had a boat moored at Southampton I believe, was allegedly visited by some hibbies who obviously had a boating background.
Done well for himself since mind.http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...reasurer-quits

Meeting delayed. Oh that's terrible news. The poor wee YAMs must be getting worried.

The CVA was proposed in FOH's name, and I can't see that that could be changed. I suspect it's just lazy journalism and they're not as pedantic as me

Has it actually been delayed? The UKIO admin said it would probably take place "next week". The 7th is a week on Monday.
Was it ever going to happen next week? If it was, what difference does a couple of days make?
Bit of non-news, IMO.

£6K per week for Sauzée.
I think Craig Gordon was their highest earner, at c £18K per week.

[QUOTE=Filled Rolls;3943660]We can hardly look silly after telling them for years it would end in tears.
All that we can get wrong now is that they won't be liquidate.
Everything else we have predicted has come to pass. Self sufficiency; missing shares; Vlads Disappearance; Administration; more cake sales; no transfer of owner ship; missed deadlines (August, October, December, January, March) ; relegation (remember how they'd be past us by September).
if they avoid Liquidation, we can look forward to many more predictions coming true. Their struggle living within their means, the slow progress out of the Championship, the struggle to fix their death trap stadium, the relocation to Livingston, the drop down the leagues, sponsorship by Shandon Fags and Mags, the car boot sales and open air market at the PBS, the attendances of 45,000 at Saughton Enclosure, the pathetic pleas to Edinburgh City Council, LRT buses being painted green etc.
I wish I was in Bulgaria, the tears of pride are welling up. Thanks to the experts on here, we have been miles in front of the media, and the Hearts rumour mill at every step.[/QUOTE
post of the day(so far)
Its worth poining out that so far we have been weeks/months ahead of the media.
