Hearts the banter years 23/24 season

[Since452]

Hearts are just proof that fan ownership isn't all it's cracked up to be if the club are still run by idiots.

In their case fan ownership was always going to mean fanny ownership

But we can have fun at their expense along the way cant we ?

Always run by crooks or parochial egotists in my time. Weird, cranky people in every dept. Ground looks like random shoe boxes held up with meccano.

Dugs dinner of a club.

No chance at all of this thread coming back to bite us. Not one chance. No, siree...

This is where I am. Some folk never ever learn. LJ has done nothing to suggest he's one of the best in the league, so I'm in no way poking fun at our rivals until he's shown he's more Wenger than Waffler.

Pack this thread to bed.

What does he need to do to start showing that? In his debut season he's beaten beaten Aberdeen, Hearts and Celtic while contending with a ridiculous injury list. We actually ended the season very well and were pretty unlucky not to finish 3rd in my opinion.

Are you not allowed to laugh at Hearts because they’ll most likely beat us again at some point in the future?

It’s close season. We’re level on points with them.

It’s not a big deal to laugh at the state of their managerial appointment

Agreed.
Football banter has a short shelf-life.
Carpe diem.

One fascinating and quite astonishing thing that will probably happen to HMFC in season 23/24 is that their spending of donated money should exceed £50m since their insolvency event. Swirl that number around your head and try and make some sense of the magnitude.

I mean, if they were winning cups and regularly finishing 3rd you would be sort of jealous.

£50m. The club must be run by an idiot.

This is a club that forgot to order seats for their new one tier main stand...

[Col2]

New away kit. 🤣🤣🤣

They are raging.

Lol 😂 yes we can But I would rather we start beating them more regularly that would create even better banter

[BoomtownHibees]

Their new away strip adds to the banter

[Garymcl]

And they call us out with there homophobic chants that strip will go down well within there moronic support at the pbs 😂

It really is just mind boggling.... I'm a bit envious they had that money in the first place as a decently run Hibs could've really kicked on with that kind of cash.

The fact they've literally pissed it up against the wall and have nothing to show for it more than makes up for the bit of envy with the hilarity of it.

They really should've finished 3rd last season as well and as usual were the darlings of the idiots on Sportsound etc. Blowing a double digit lead against Aberdeen and clinging onto 4th and celebrating a draw against us at home like they'd won the league title speaks volumes of where they are.

Fan ownership works, so long as the fans doing the owning aren't complete imbeciles!

“Our new gammon away kit is meant as a thank you to a particular demographic within our support - those who were alive when the League Cup last rested at Tynecastle, and who continue to ***** their grandkids’ inheritance on mediocre players and under qualified management teams.”

Has a thread on a football forum ever bitten anyone? I don't think our poor derby record is related to posts on hibs.net

Bit of fun, nothing more.

I’m probably being an absolute edgelord here and will rightly get slated but I actually like their new pink strip.

Not on your own mate. Apart from the Hearts badge i think its pretty decent too.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Hope they don't play in the pink top at Tiny, you won't be able to to see them for all the pink seats 🤣

Where does this number come from? 50 million.Surely they can’t have pissed up the wall that amount of money

In the spirit of know your enemy I recently listened to a Hearts fans podcast reflecting on the season just past. A couple of things stood out:

The first was that they seemed pretty clear that Hearts had budgeted for guaranteed European group stage football next season based on finishing 3rd. That on the face of it is absolutely mental ... when you start relying on money that isn't guaranteed its the road to hell. No wonder Hearts always end up in the jobby when this, not for the first time, is the way they conduct financial planning. According to the fans on that podcast it has left a £5,000,000 hole in the next accounts.

Secondly they admitted that if it wasn't for the free cash injections from James Anderson their fan owned club would have made big losses in the last few seasons.

This wasn't Hibs fans pointing this stuff out, it was Hearts fans.

I've said it so many times. When the time comes that they have a few barren seasons, as it inevitably will, and there is no James Anderson and no player to sell for decent money ... what will they do? ..... The FoH membership hasn't grown in any significant numbers since it was first formed. Will the 8,000 members be willing or able to put their hands into their pockets and ante up £625 each on top of their normal FoH contributions and season tickets, simply to break even in the face of a 5 million quid shortfall?

This was what made me shaky about Hibs becoming a fan owned club. In Germany where you have 50,000 members, a huge TV deal, rich dudes willing to ante up to own 49% of the club and you can attract mega sponsorship it's fine. For other clubs where it's a community thing ... Dunfermline, AFC Wimbledon, Motherwell etc, all that matters is surviving with the hope of a promotion, a European place, or a bit of success in knocking a big gun out in a round of the cups, or for the Scottish clubs making a cup final.

Hearts are not either of these things. Their fans expect ... demand ... their club be the 3rd force in Scotland, they expect ( 3 times in 60 years ) to win cups. They will not stand for simply surviving. It might not be tomorrow, but this is a club heading for a major crisis and it is almost inevitable IMO that eventually they will end up pimping the club out praying that some rich person or group will take it over from the fans.

Can you imagine Hearts fans accepting the club cutting its cloth to the extent where simply avoiding the play off place is seen as a victory and the club achieving it's potential .... no, me neither
