The generic Hearts thread

[Hibs4185]

I’ve just read that players can leave hearts if they wish. Could we not make an offer To sign hickey and give him a better offer?

The only player in that squad that might be worth something eventually.

The impression you get from that is that she already knows they're getting relegated and is cutting their cloth for the Championship.

Never thought of that. No wonder they are panicking. Never thought it was a bad as it is. I'd be very worried if i was a Hertz fan. But as has been said there are far bigger worries for most folk as to whether they get relegated especially people's mental health.

Assume that’s the benefactor closed the wallet and said no more cash

The stock market crash put paid to that money

To think two months ago we had posters here telling us that they had pulled it out the bag by signing Boyce and his wages would all be worth it as they could fly towards contention for Europe by the end of the season

Those who feel "unable or unwilling" to accept the cut, will be offered the chance to leave the club.

I think Madame Budgerigar should anticipate that her employees will be following her example by seeking legal advice.

[Hibs4185]

All Budge has to do is accept the inevitable relegation and get the prize money for finishing last and their finances will be sorted 😂

Ps where is she getting the money to fight the relegation if they are that skint?

[04Sauzee]

Wonder when we will hear something from PFA Scotland

[Billy Whizz]

Budge should have left 2 years ago. If they were to go into admin, this is no Romanov admin, where he used his country’s bank to fund Hearts
Budge bought the club for around £2m or so, but the Hearts fans have put in £8m plus with FOH. If I was a Hearts fan, I’d be asking her about her management of the club. I’m no legal expert, but wonder how this will pan out?

She’s in a dreadful position due to her ego, in not stepping down

[Ozyhibby]

Budge paid £2.5m for 100% of Hearts.
So far FOH have paid £8.2m for 20% of Hearts.
And they are skint again, threatening not to pay players and about to be relegated.
In tough times like this, it’s good to have something to have a good giggle at.

I assume that Hearts still dont have access to external credit (apart from benefactors etc) which for other clubs apart from Rangers might allow them to avoid such action. For a while.....

Also gotta question who and how much money was made from that main stand.

With numbers like that you'd think they'd all be up to their knees in share certificates.

Hearts and every other club in Britain can borrow from the govt interest free for the next 6 months. The bailout is that useless though that very few firms will take it though because it needs paid back.

Hearts can’t force redundancy on players. All football debt must be paid. The players just need to sit tight in full pay. If something better comes along elsewhere they will move but until then they would be mad to take a cut.

Can you make a player redundant, without going into admin?

I don't know I was just referring to their statement;

“In order to try to prevent a staff redundancy programme and to protect as many jobs as possible, I am proposing to implement a club-wide salary reduction programme."

That's going to get the players busting their baĺls for them when they start playing again....😂

Yes, she’s hoping the players voluntarily take a pay cut or else she will make other staff redundant. It’s emotional blackmail.

Only the other day they were been giving a fitness plan for when they were at home and being told to come into the gym 2 days a week in small numbers so they can hit the ground running when the season starts back

A couple off days later and they don't expect the season to start back until July /Aug and they are slashing wages, making people go on unpaid leave and threatening redundancies.

[Squealing pig]

Kickback is sweating 😓 but budge is still a hero 😂 great reading material for the next few days

Admin 2 is coming to a screen near u courtesy of the documentary

[Liam6270]

Agent Budge, up there with Albert Kidd GGTTH

[cammy1969]

I don’t think they will be to only club asking staff to do this in the near future and I don’t see a lot wrong apart for the last bit about termination think that a terrible think to say.
Am sure a lot of businesses may need to go down similar path to survive imo

Surely Budge should be self isolating?

Its more surprising they're the first. There's other clubs that I would have expected to announce steps like this first

[Jim44]

I wonder what their club captain, SN, thinks about taking a 50% wage cut. Doesn’t he have form for shooting the crow when things got tough at Rangers?

[Ozyhibby]

Wonder if Hearts will name and shame any player who doesn’t take the cut? Surely the PFA would have something to say about tactics like that?

It will be absolutely glorious if the documentary covers the club going into admin.

She's making a start by putting up a decent barrier between her and all the employees at Tiny.

She'll be safe around Desperate Dan as he's always comfortably at the alcohol content level of all good handwashes.

But this time he won’t get a bigger contract elsewhere this time

I’m no employment lawyer, but I’ve spoken to a few. I’m pretty sure you can’t just terminate someone’s contract if they refuse a 50% wage cut.

That threat will probably persuade some employees to refuse to agree, self-isolate and take their chances. I think I would.

The only two clubs where I can think of that spending is so out of control are Dundee United and Der Hun. Hearts have been mismanaged for probably 30 years or so and have continually spent money they didn't have hoping that the next mug would come along. Mercer, pie man, SMG, Romanov, dodgy banks, dodgy shares, Budgie, Benny Factor, FOH. It's amazing how many mugs/chancers they can attract. Oh and also how many utterly gullible fuds they attract as fans. Let's hope they do go tits up. Great for Hibs and we might get the odd cup derby when the top teams join in with the lower leagues. That is if they haven't already been pumped out by Stranraer or East Fife. GIRFUY tarts

As much as I can understand the 1st part of their statement the end part regarding contract termination is a PR nightmare, while most businesses are looking at ways to safeguard employment their holding a load gun to staffs heads. But hay nothing surprises me with them.
