What a win

What an atmosphere

There were terrible, just a shame we didn't hammer them, but given all the 1-0 wins they've had over us in recent years I'll take that with bells on.

 

Surely we must win on tue, then it is a huge game at the Hunnery.  After that it should only be ours to throw away. 

Saying on BBC now that the court action is to have the winding up order dismissed (probably why the BBC have now removed it from their main headlines)

Aye I read that too. Disappointing.

Regardless of this, surely the clock is still and well truely ticking.

They have paid £500,000 to stop it, so it explains where the players wages have gone.

Both Rangers & Hearts looking like they might go under...... is this just a way of getting a 10-team league in through the back door!

WATCHING: Craig Brown today refused to rule out a raid by Aberdeen FC on any Hearts players.

 

ABERDEEN FC manager Craig Brown today admitted he will consider cashing in if troubled Hearts have to offload players in January.

 

Hearts players had hinted they could strike because their wages haven’t been paid and it has been reported the club has already told some of them they will be allowed to leave in January.

 

Brown refused to rule out a raid by Aberdeen FC on the Jam Tarts when the transfer window re-opens if they are forced to offload players to cut costs.

 

From the EE of course...

What a total non story as per usual from the Evening Depress.....

Usual lack of quotes etc.....

"refuse to rule out" really is a cracking phrase for journos with no real stories.

To be fair to them, I don't think they show quotes on the free extracts of the articles. They may on the full subscription articles?

There are plenty of quotes in the paper, but I can't be arsed typing them out.

He's essentially saying that if any of them are available on a free then he'd be interested, but can't afford to pay transfer fees.

The 45 pence was worth it just to prove you wrong 

Interesting to see if wages would be made available.  Would love to sign templeton, is neilsen still there?

As in Robbie Neilson?  I don't think so and i also hope you're not suggesting we sign him...

I was trying to remember who played full back for them these days,  last game was hamill and grainger.  wouldnt say no to either of them to be honest.  Again though i cant see wages materialising for new players anyway

But you haven't yet........

 

If however you type out Wee Craig's quotes in full, I'll admit defeat

Owner Vladimir Romanov insists he will continue to support Hearts financially but admits he is now open to selling the Edinburgh club.

Players were paid on Friday, following an 18-day wait for overdue wages, and Romanov recently questioned the wisdom of continuing to invest in Hearts.

Romanov reiterated the need for reduced spending on the Tynecastle squad.

And the Lithuanian-based businessman said: "I now have to consider finding a partner or selling the club."

Hearts, who are currently exploring a move away from Tynecastle, are mired in debts of around £30m, with those arrears serviced by the bank in-which Romanov has substantial stake.

In response to the coverage of the wage delay, a statement from the club read: "Mr Romanov has confirmed that he will stand by the club and continue to support it to the extent it remains reasonable as he continues to fight against what he and an increasing number of supporters and associates are seeing as an orchestrated campaign against him personally and, by association, the club.

"The position of the shareholder in relation to the football in Scotland, in which he has invested more than any other individual in the last six years, is unsatisfactory.

"Hearts must therefore prepare to reduce investment in the playing squad to match the income in the coming season and turn to the Academy for its new additions while also improving revenue streams, including working on a new stadium in order to achieve this as soon as possible.

"It is important to stress that Hearts at the moment is strongly dependant on the funding from the major shareholder and the attempts of the media to undermine the position of the club and Mr Romanov pose a direct threat to the immediate future of the club."

A club spokesperson then strongly denied reports of an impending 'fire sale' of players, saying: "The club has some of the best players in the country and no player will be transferred for a penny less than their true value.

"Hearts will address squad efficiency over the coming months as a normal course of business. We will continue to pursue our policy of focusing on youth development."

Romanov's growing disenchantment was evident, when he added: "For seven years I keep hoping that in the country that is the cradle of football they will start respecting the game and stop taking the mickey out of the game itself and the people who are trying to fight for it, but it's like asking the mafia for remorse.

"There is only one solution left - to turn our attention to the products of our football academy in the hope that this situation will at some point and somehow improve by itself. Finally, the powers that be have begun discussing a new stadium - it seems like the politicians have developed some sort of responsibility to their own citizens, or maybe their human side has been awoken.

"And still Shakespeare's question lingers on - to be or not to be - for football to change, or will it keep on developing as a show under the media blanket and we are finally overtaken by Lithuania and Gabon.

"I haven't lost my interest in the club but I have for football. By the law of the 'free world' it is not enough to do good deeds - you have to also pay to advertise them in the press and then it's possible to carry out crimes without any consequences.

"The problem is that I refuse to pay the monkeys for the advertisement as someone has to resist their domination in sport and in culture, the ecomony and history. That's why I now have to consider finding a partner or selling the club."
