PTBCAL Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hard work still required but still an Amazing effort. Said before that doing nothing is not an option. Appreciate many are wary of buying shares but in reality its a emotional investment - your not doing to make money are you!!!! Keep up the good work guys!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Getintaethem Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 It looks like this is the figure for shares only, if you add to that the extra money generated from ticket sales and merchandising it's probably nearer the ?750,000 mark. Still work to be done but a great effort by the supporters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francis Albert Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Great stuff. Well done everyone. Surpassed my expectations (and of course that of our local newspaper). Staggering that fans have paid more for 3% of Hearts than the Foundation offered for 100%. Any doubts about the appetite for fans' ownership can surely be put to bed.

armstrong Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 It's a great start but we've all got to continue our efforts. Lets get Tynie filled for every match and continue investing in the share scheme. Every pound donated will increase the prospect of fan ownership and our attraction to investors. Well done everyone so far! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
portobellojambo1 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Not at all comparable though. The fans would buy the shares regardless of the percentage they represent as the money is being donated to keep the club going. Correct dave. A figure of ?1.8 million was given as the amount of cash needed to run the club to the end of the season. No figure has been given in respect of how much the owner is looking for to depart the scene, therefore you have to assume the price and conditions are negotiable. While the opening offer was undoubtedly very low in such negotiations you never enter the bidding with your highest offer, you need to play your cards close to your chest and test the seller, to see how much they want to sell. In terms of the amount of money raised from the shares it is a reasonable amount but it is still only around 30% of the total potentially required (unless the club changes hands before the season ends) and shouldn't be a signal that we are nearly there, there is still a long way to go.

I agree that as opening offers go it would have been received as a bit of a piss take Mr Loverman, and said as much on one of the many other threads running on this topic. However, we can but wait and see what the next offer is and hopefully the potential buyers don't jump from piss take offer to madly over priced offer. They still hold the cards in these dealings.

Based on the first offer, the next one, irrespective of the offer, could be met with resistance owing to the insulting first offer - I'd imagine Vlad would be in the resitance camp.
