They’ll survive. They have the greatest fans in the world, greatly superior to us in every respect.

Just spend a few minutes on kickback and put your mind at ease. Apparently we should be more worried, due to our loss of the coveted maroon pound.

Surely us Hibees can fall back on construction of minor household items or the selling of rather naughty substances.

Admittedly they have cake making and legal advice as possible sources of revenue. However they have major costs in areas such as mental health and raising Edinburgh castle to a height they can see it. Luckily they have Budge, Deans and Kiwidug I am sure they can compensate for massive loss of revenue, increased debt, no manager and a playing staff who were awful for 18 months

Once they are playing in the Championship it will dawn on them that they are cream puffed and donkeys led by muppets.

Sorry to report back but the Fartz will be fine with 18 games, according to this one

David McCabe is the financial guru this time:

I would imagine our compensation claim rises by at least 50% towards the £5m mark if the SPFL attempts to shorten the Championship season.

They really don't get how the court action would work.

New kit launched

Standard bland lower league kit. Although worse than the average as it’s maroon, obviously.

That is horrific. Even worse than the usual bloodied turd tops. It's just a plain maroon t-shirt with a badge on it. Probably fit in well in div 1. Wonder what monstrosity they will have for an away too?

Should change the sponsor to Save the Hearts and put always cheated never defeated on the back.

Did umbro start the body of the top with material used for top division sides only then once relegation was confirmed they used lower division material for the sleeves 😂

**Glory Lurker** · 22-05-2020 05:02 PM

Every day brings yet more warning that Scottish football is going to be hit by a metaphorical meteor. Who's on the group trying to act in the best interests of our game? Who's only doing self interest at the moment?

I’m really surprised by that, she said she could multitask really well and she’s a really successful businesswoman don’t you know......

Don't forget she's an expert negotiator too. She reckoned the Sky contract would be easy to renegotiate so surely negotiating with fellow football club owners/CEOs etc should be a piece of cake for her. As has been mentioned, if she was going to put proposals in front of the Premiership teams a couple of weeks ago for discussion but got kb'd before she got a chance, how come it is taking so long to get them ready now?

**truehibernian** · 22-05-2020 05:04 PM

That new home top is honking

Ann 'multi-tasker' Budge is having an absolute shocker at the moment

**04Sauzee** · 22-05-2020 05:06 PM

Even the shorts are howfin 🙃

Totally correct , although there is not much to say in the media what is truly happening , i will stick with reconstruction is not happening and she is playing for time to see what legally are her options are if any?
I'm only surprised that other legal experts have not commented on what if anything Hearts could do.

Wow, just think how much money they'll get if there's no games at all.

All they've got to do to collect is appoint a conveyancing lawyer, pay a QC to tell them what they want, set out the so far intangible case and a judge will fill their big red coo with cash.

No one's smarter than all these experts that are coming out the woodwork.

She doesn’t need to speak with anyone, they come to her remember for advice.

She’s now been given more time. FFS this is so tedious now.

On 17 April she said 2-3 weeks maximum for her reconstruction task force.

Five weeks later, still nothing.

She is inept. Why would the top flight want her in their gang?

Perhaps there really is no more to say , the final end game must be near. Unless this Qc comes up with a golden nugget then its done.
Hearts biggest problem is they might have no one to play against a d seriously what happens then?

They carry on playing with themselves?

Really surprised it comes without sleeves. After all, it gets a tad cold in Ayr, Abroath, Inverness and Dumbarton during winter. Then there's Dundee where they will get a less than warm reception.

All in maroon???
I can see white and yellow bits!

White is sometimes associated with surrender.
Yellow is sometimes associated with cowardice.

Sleeve trim has a bit of a Fred Perry style about it that I quite like. Nothing else of note though.

As my dear auntie once told me: no matter how bad the economy gets, folk will always want pegs and drugs.

Because of her outstanding business acumen...

I like those strips but not sure they'd look quite so good with Boyce and Naismith in them.

**Rumble de Thump** · 22-05-2020 05:23 PM

Has the cash cow been furloughed?

**GreenCastle** · 22-05-2020 05:24 PM

New top is awful. Looks cheap and nasty.

All in maroon ? Do they not realise the shorts are white? Idiots.

***Heisenberg*** · 22-05-2020 05:25 PM

14-14-16 apparently her proposal. Non starter imo.

Hard to tell if she's buying time or just not very good. Her pal Leslie Deans made the point that no other country had called their leagues and were relegating clubs except for France, whose government was backing the relegated clubs. Buying herself time could work against her as more and more leagues do the same as us. Certainly if they want use the Leslie Dean argument.
