The generic Hearts thread

I wonder if that means their Daniel is coming back? After all, if anyone could bring them straight back up it would be Potter and his rough-house tactics, no?

Well as soon as it’s confirmed they are relegated Hearts will need to renegotiate a new contract for him due to the release clause.

I said it yesterday Stendal has said he won’t be paid so it softens the blow if he leaves Hearts....makes him look a good guy (if he stayed full pay and left they would be raging at him - but makes him look better) - even though his win ratio was 29%.

I don't go into oneleagueback but follow JKB Meltdown on twitter. Oh my god, it is unbelievable that these morons walk amongst us. Some of the stuff the one out with is beyond belief

Saw this one, would love to know the reasoning behind it:

Calling the season makes it less likely that we will be in the Championship because we can no longer be relegated.

Looked once on KB and FF and will never look again. Those two forums are the most insular, aggressive, sectarian & bigoted sites I have ever visited. Never again!! I really do care for my sanity.

The comments are pretty funny. Reminds me of us getting rid of Butcher.

Amazing how Levein has hung about for so long. While he was a useless manager etc he hated Hibs and I’m sure drilled that into many a Hearts youth player etc.

Regarding McPhee he did have a lot of connections and set up a few links for Hearts.

Will be interesting to see which direction they go in next as Stendal will have more control but not confident he’s staying about so will need quite a rebuild if all 3 leave - at a time stability is important.

This from a club that hounded Neilson out the door after he delivered European football to them. They'll have the cheek to want him back ! May their pain continue for years

I am assuming Stendel won’t be back.

Anyone think they might try and poach Robertson from ICT? A bitter manager wrangle would be a great way to cement the new special relationship between these two clubs.

He might not want to.It can only go wrong.Look at how they've treated loyal servants this season?

Robertson as manager and DOF, visionary

[Bostonhibby]

Another impressive sounding foreign name but this time one who has at least heard of them.

Steady Eddie Malofeev.

Will be the first SPFL club to employ a female head coach - Shirley Yeroffski.

Nothing will be more pleasing than them turning on another of their own after he doesn’t meet their ridiculously high expectations.

Who can resist the lure of The Famous? Or working for their highly successful and visionary leader, the Sage of Midlothian?

Apart from Jack Ross, obviously.

Plus money will be no object and free chips.

I think once the dust has settled and their relegation is confirmed they will start to turn on Budge.

They have had the SPFL bogey man to aim their ire at so far but once that’s effectively over I’m convinced we will see a tasty bit of infighting and finger pointing about how it all went so wrong.

Then they have the infamous ‘fan owned’ thing to deal with and a shortfall in cash.

Could be quite interesting for quite some time

Isn't money a bit tight in ICT-land? The prospect of slightly more cash and no Potter might be very tempting for Robbo. And chips too.....

Serious question. Will the jambos play any matches at all next season? I can see TV money might mean the top league going ahead with safeguards e.g no fans in stadia. But everything else in the SPFL could be mothballed, surely there would be no way of permitting the usual crowds and hospitality and therefore no income to pay players?

I think they will.Crowds will be allowed back eventually this year and they'll backload the season.

I mentioned that elsewhere and it got my juices flowing what a thought that would be

The number of people permitted at mass gatherings is likely to be increased incrementally so lower league attendances will probably be back to normal ahead of the Premiership. However Hearts will still be stuffed in that regard.

I think this is highly unlikely.

A mass gathering is defined as anything above 50 - 500 people. Then it becomes about the measures you can put in place to mitigate risk, all of which will have a cost.

Lower league clubs will face all the same crowd management issues but fewer resources to deal with them.

What part do you believe is highly unlikely?

That the maximum number of attendees allowed at a mass gathering will be increased incrementally over time? or

That lower league clubs will be back to normal attendances before Premiership clubs?

I think the costs and measures required to host a couple of hundred people at Ainslie Park or Central Park would be a lot less than 16,000+ at Easter Road. Lower league teams also typically have a much larger excess capacity at their grounds than Premiership clubs.

Had anyone else heard the rumour that Danny boy liked frequenting the hostelries of Gorgie a little bit too much... his big purple conk would certainly point to that .

The muppets over on KeekBoak think the rejection of the action by two lower league Dutch teams somehow supports their case. Actually it contains a stark warning.

The judge ruled that the league "acted within its rules". I have no doubt that a similar legal principle applies here too as the Board acted within the rules and was empowered by an 81% vote to apply it.

Unless Hearts charge £25 per league next season it would be cheaper just walking up every week than buying a season ticket.

If I was them I'd buy the season ticket as early as possible before the next fund raising exercise starts.

Low sales = bigger deficit and there's still no flour on the supermarket shelves and there's only so many faces one can paint, even if it could be done with a 2m long paint brush.
