Paolo Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 PayPal is being a bit slow in coughing up exact numbers, but the amount donated so far is approximately ?900. Thank you to all who've donated. Fantastic stuff. I bought my own, but will see if I have a few quid I can add to this too. Well done to everyone so far.

soonbe110 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I am talking about how the club is run. I want a team to support as much as anyone else but the point is that Vlad is now quite categorically stating we are not his plaything anymore. Therefore, that should change the structure of decision making at the club. For 10% of the club, therefore, there should be a fans' representative on the board. As for money, I will donate something to the JKB fund. I could buy the full whack of 1,000 shares but I am not going to do so because we are acting like panicking headless chickens rather than thinking rationally. Do you honestly believe that one fans rep on the Board will make any difference? Board meetings are held in a man's living room in Kaunus. Even if they were properly constructed someone with 10% of the equity has no voice if someone else has 85%. Just ask Usmanov about his 30% stake in Arsenal, he can't even get a seat on the Board.

soonbe110 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 In response to a number of queries, the JKB admin team is providing a method of collectively purchasing shares in HMFC, further to the recent announcement by the club. All members who want to purchase chares by this method should be aware of the terms and conditions that apply. Terms and Conditions governing the purchase of HMFC shares by Jambos Kickback. 1. Members may donate any amount they wish through Paypal. 2. All monies collected, less Paypal fees, will be used to purchase shares of HMFC 3. The shares will be purchased by Jambos Kickback and will be held in the name of Jambos Kickback. 4. The intent is for the purchased shares to be held in perpetuity. This means that they will not be sold, traded, or transferred by the current management team. However, in the event that the sale of the shares becomes necessary or advisable, any proceeds from the sale will be donated to a worthwhile Scottish charity or to a Hearts-related good cause, in keeping with our donation practice of recent years. 5. Once the shares are purchased there can be no refunds to members. Please use the "Donate" button under the JKB logo at the top of the page. We expect to keep this facility open for about one month. Periodic updates will be posted. We recognise that there are different opinions regarding the share purchase. This thread is only for those who wish to donate. There are other threads available for those who choose not to donate, for whatever reason. Is there somewhere we can see the amount donated as it increases? Would create a bit of interest/excitement, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingantti1874 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 PayPal is being a bit slow in coughing up exact numbers, but the amount donated so far is approximately ?900.

Maple Leaf Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Is there somewhere we can see the amount donated as it increases? Would create a bit of interest/excitement, maybe. I agree, but there's no way of doing that other than by periodic posts by an admin team member. Good thought, though. We're now over ?1,200. Thanks again to all who've donated.

Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Ok so i have a tax bill myself to pay so doubt I can go the full whack and buy shares.

Maple Leaf Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 How does this work? (I was thinking of mailing you a cheque) signed, thicko The "Donate" button starts you off on a three or four page process. On the page for making a PayPal payment, it provides the option of using a credit card or debit card instead of using a Paypal account. That's what I used to make my donation. It was simple, and it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Leaf Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Here is Robbo's statement about the share issue: "guys it is quite simple and as said in most of the media coverage i was involved with yesterday I was approached by David Southern who put the proposal about 'share ambassador' it is a title they wanted and means very little in scheme of things I asked him a series of questions as anyone would mainly 1. What is money raised used for 2. Would it be used for tax bill 3. How grave is situation if it fails 4. Would money be used for salary shortfall 5. What was long term view for club 6. How quickly could the club get to self sustainability on wage bill 7. What would happen to current players and could they be kept on a realistic wage and a few more to boot . . . . I was asked back to have a meeting with David and Sergei where the questions were answered I was then asked again to consider the position of trying to HELP the club with the share issue over the next 6 weeks My role was to speak with David at Federation meeting do a press call and be available for meetings with individual fan groups and supporters club s to answer the questions and doubts that they have and to tell them the situation where the club finds itself right now . . . . I agreed We have another meeting arranged for Friday 9th in Inverness hosted by the Highland Hearts at the Encore hotel to talk to them as well as we want as many Hearts fans as possible to know facts before they decide waht they want to do I am not a finanacial expert and look at the following. . . Do not buy shares if you cant afford to . . . there is no doubt this is not a financial investment . . . a return would seem unlikely Do not feel that there is a gun been held to your head as it is not . . . You can only do what you feel is right and i can understand anyone being sceptical I am only trying to help the club and can tell you right now I have filled out my form amd will be buying my shares (it is not a massive investment it is what i can afford ) Am i being finanacially rewarded for this? NO Absolutely not as as my integrity honesty and transparency would be comprimised . . . i am trying to help the club nothing more nothing less. . if it works fantastic if it does not then at least i tried" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already read all that on the various mediums that it is available on... I am just distraught that some folk still need to have it presented to them in yet more ways in order to get their heads around what is happening here. A JR thread would help I reckon... Even if that is because some people cannot be arsed actually reading or listening to his already quite clear ambassador work. I mean seriously... Why are we still even debating this?

Maple Leaf Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 We now have TWO 'prizes' to be drawn from among those who donate to the JKB Collective Share initiative. 1. A signed shirt by Hearts legend John Robertson. 2. A behind-the-scenes tour of Tynecastle for a donor and his/her family, conducted by the CEO of Big Hearts, Alan 'Chalky' White. So far, we've had 60 donors, for a total amount close to ?1,800. Thanks to all who've donated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
