That`s the big issue for me when it comes to them. I probably wouldn`t have begrudged them their survival if they had shown a different attitude and had perhaps tried to make some amends for what they had done. But they have done the opposite. And the media are there cheering them on every step of the way. It`s actually bizarre in some ways that nobody is challenging them on it and of course it`s so wrong in so many ways.
It`s the kind of thing you`d expect to see here in Brazil, where everything from corruption to overspending millions that clubs don`t have without accountability to players being convicted of murder is all somehow seen as being exempt from normal moral standards. Because it involves football, it`s somehow okay. The icing on the cake is the world cup, where nearly 9 billion pounds (15 - 20 times the predicted costs) have somehow been "spent" on the stadiums alone using 90% of taxpayers money (after the politicians promised that 0% of taxpayers money would be used) but next to nothing has been spent on badly needed infrastructure such as the chronic traffic problems, the crumbling education, electrical and health systems, the poor, the unemployed, the airports, the decaying roads and pavements and the dreadfully inadequate public transport systems. The very rich and a number of high profile companies have profited to an unimaginable degree and the rest of the country is being told to forget the rest and shut up and enjoy the world cup. The world cup coming here is nothing short of a crime on a vast scale. But, like Hearts, as long as nobody holds them to account then nothing will happen.
There are various protests and disruptions planned for the world cup (as well as those happening now) and things could get very ugly indeed very quickly. Keep your eyes on the opening ceremony for starters - everyone knows that Brazil`s electrical infrastructure is weak, to the extent that there are rumours that they systematically cut power to certain neighbourhoods on a rotating schedule in the wee small hours to share it around, so the plan is for everyone who protests against the world cup to switch on every electrical device in their houses at the moment the opening ceremony begins in an attempt to overload the circuits and kill the power in the stadium. There will undoubtedly be riots and serious problems. "Celebrities" and ex-footballers are queuing up to criticise anybody protesting against the world cup and labelling them unpatriotic, but of course, these are the people who live in mansions with swimming pools and bodyguards and who have countless millions stashed away and who will be getting a few more from their work during the World Cup, not those who are being paid pennies to risk their lives building the stadiums or those millions going hungry who will be left with nothing when the cup comes to an end.
Some people just collectively lose their senses when football is involved. The way it has happened with Hearts is a national shame and disgrace.

I don't think they'll be anywhere near a play off if they start on -15 next season too. Successive relegations is more likely.

Do you think they'll go the same way as us since our 'Dark Times' when Mercer tried to wipe us out - a determination to NEVER be in that position again, a resolve which Rod has rigidly stuck to ever since ??. Personally, I don't think they will - their years of 'Other folks money' has given them a genuine belief that they ARE a 'Big Team'. Eric Miligan's incredible statement yesterday, part of which contained that absolute belter 'Hearts have a history that stands comparison with any club in the world - never mind Scotland' tells me that their 'Mentality' remains as it has been for the last 30+ years.

Hearts, one of the biggest football criminals in history.
Wonder where they would be in the league table of written off debt?

I am not really surprised the Lithuanian Administrators didn't get a better deal for the creditors. They have obviously buckled under the intense pressure eminating from BDO and hypocritical politicians (is there any other sort?) and recommended acceptance of this derisory settlement.
I think it is safe to assume that they were informed that there was no way on earth planning permission to re-develop the site would be granted. Was there not a quotation from one of the administrators alluding to Political pressure, riots, mayhem, exploding tanks of toxic industrial chemicals etc?
Ah well. Debt free but morally bankrupt!

The sort of businesses they are referring to are the ones they helped bring down.
Few if any of the businesses started out deliberately outspending their income whilst simultaneously withholding ALL their tax liability and payments to their major suppliers/council and HWU.They were probably trading with the likes of the yam in good faith, shame. Just hope they are all a bit wiser next time.

I see they have the begging bowls out again.
"As you probably know, Jambos Kickback members have responded magnificently in the club's time of need. Since Hearts went into administration last June, JKB members have donated over £56,000 to the club.
Now we're almost out of the crisis, but the club is asking for supporters to help one last time by buying tickets for games. So JKB is making one final push for fundraising before the end of this tumultuous and historic season. Please take a moment to have a look at this thread.
http://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index....lub-this-year/ (http://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index....lub-this-year/)
It's asking members to donate the price of a ticket to Hearts. Thanks to those of you who have already responded so generously.
If you can contribute the price of a ticket it would be great, and if you can't it would still be hugely helpful if you could contribute whatever amount you can to JKB's last fundraising drive. To contribute, please click on the Donate link at the top of any JKB screen, or click on the link below, and follow the directions.
Donate screen (http://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index.php?/donate/)"
I wonder why their knight in shining armour, Ms Budge, cant bail them out? Maybe they are skint and have no more money for wages which if so would have the effect of another signing ban extended haha
Cue the cake bake again

Only Yams could describe a season where they plunge into admin and get relegated as "historic"
