Mister Dee Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hibs have sold around ?15m worth of players in the same period and yet are in debt to the tune of around ?9m which suggests that they have also been living outwith their means. But as the knight says in The Last Crusade - they chose poorly - and have nothing to show for it. Hibs declared debt of ?5.5M. They have a finished (albeit crap) stadium, & their own training ground. None of this worries me, but it is fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FraMcCa Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 When I am on my death bed I know that 19th May 2012 will have been one if the most significant dates in my life and will lie back with a smile in my heart. As much as the Hobos love to deny it the same date will follow them to the grave for the opposite reason. Therefore it was worth every single second.

Seymour M Hersh Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Let's be clear here folks. At no time did the Heart of Midlothian cheat. At no time. Please stop pandering to the vermin by even jokingly suggesting that we did and t was worth cheating. We won all the trophy's (the ones they can't) fair and square.

adayinmay Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 So all you get from hibs fans is that we spent out with our means. So let's have a look at some of the facts: - we were ?20m in debt when Romanov took over; - ?28m when he left; - We sold players to the tune of ?20m + - We seem players like skacel, jammy, fyssas and bedner - We won 2 Scottish cups and a 2nd place finish; - we beat hibs 4v0 and 5v1 in major cup games and have list only a handful to them in that time; So yes, this is a painful season and we are destined for a season in the championship ( which I never ever expected in my life) but if you offered me the past 9 years for this and we come out debt free, I would take it; It all depends on whether FoH can take control. If they do ..... then yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_jambo Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It's incredibly pleasing to know that none of them "genuinely" know what it feels like with the elation we had. Pumping your biggest rivals twice at Hampden by four goal margins, the latter being in the final and putting five past them. Qualifying for the Champions League Feeling like you're in a title race against the Old Firm. Winning the Scottish Cup. Scoring to take the lead at Anfield. Drawing with Tottenham at White Hart Lane. The pre-match build up and full house against a premiership team the size of Tottenham - seeing the worlds most expensive player - now with Real Madrid - play against you're Riccarton-bred Jambo mad Australian internationalist right back. Have a Champions league winner, Uefa Cup winner and Euro 2004 winner all play in the same team together. Winning the Scottish cup on penalties That trip home from Hampden to Edinburgh after bagging the Scottish Cup. The parties into the night. All of these memories, remember that a Hibs fan has not experienced one of them in their lives. Not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The correct answer. For me too. If the CVA falls through and we get liquidated, the answer is most definitely no.

Smith&Weston Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 The liquidation point is interesting as I still think Rangers fans will say it was worth 9 in a row etc etc as they are still here. I very much agree it was worth it. We turned Hampden from a place of misery to some of the best results of my life. 2 v hibs and 1 magical semi v Celtic where I have never been so buzzing after a 2nd half. I also seen a player in rudi skacel who was totally incredible and the best left foot to ever grace our turf; We did make a lot of mistakes which was frustrating, too many to mention, as it could have been an even better period. Robinson in the other hand started the rot and spent it on petric and Simpson etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yes. Lots of trauma and poor , poor decisions by owner leading to missed opportunities esp over league challenge and stadium. But; and bearing in mind most wealthy football owners act stupidly - the prospect of debt free, responsible and fan responsive ownership makes it worthwhile. 2 Scottish Cups, 05/06 season, seeing some quality players, fixing the disaster left by Robinson tenure etc and galvanising the support to save the club with all that that has brought. Worth it. And a fine future is ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
