If Ann chucks it, we'll likely be ****ed for the next 5 years as we recover from the Covid losses.

No thanks, not another Levein type. Not sure what Ann is going to do over these next five years as she’s not put her hand in her pocket for years. In fact it’s her awful decisions that’s cost us millions and has in this mess. If there is Covid losses then all teams will suffer them.

Robbie Neilson is an incompetent, bungling idiot of a man. He's a complete and utter embarrassment to himself and the club. He's become a joke with his excuses and absurd comments. 

 

As for the person who employed him and Levein before that - please just go before you do any more damage. You clearly have no idea what you're doing. Your judgement is awful 

 

How can you both have ****ed this up so badly?

 

You've made supporting Hearts depressing.

What a relief.  I feel much better now.  It's only a blip.

 

I hate to be negative or pinpricking but I wonder if he could tell us how long he thinks the blip will last.  It's been a 5 year blip so far.

 

Is it over now and we'll start to look like the 3rd best outfit in the country?  Or is it a 10 year blip?  20 years?  Doesn't matter to me if it's longer than 20 years as I'll either be deid by then or gaga.

Thanks for that. I don't like being pedantic, but the sentence I've highlighted, it simply isn't coherent.  He's annoyed " ... about the taking responsibility ...".  What? 

 

"After a minute we give away an individual error for a goal. We showed a bit of spirit to fight back. Another individual error loses the game. I'm really annoyed about the taking responsibility and taking the ball and driving forward with it.

If someone could find the interview on sportsound you would head the desperation in his voice, he was floundering badly. He said 13 points clear about 5 times in a minute.

Is there genuinely something wrong with him? His footballing brain has gone backwards as has his media skills and general PR

 

What happened to the energetic forward thinking young rookie that first came here and had us playing cracking exciting football?

 

This is the problem with incessantly sticking with guid Scottish laddies as manager. They all eventually clam up and coach to keep their jobs and stop taking risks or trying something different 

 

When you look at Neilson's coaching career it's now clear that the exciting attacking football of his first season was an anomaly.

Due to administration he inherited a group of talented and motivated youngsters who had an unusual amount of experience for their age.

None of the teams he's assembled since have have looked anything like that. 

Dull safety first football is his default.

She has loaned us a few million the last couple of years so, in terms of her leaving, that could be problematic.

No idea what the terms are for the loans. She will retain her security on Tynecastle one would imagine. Mercer had a representative on the board, protecting his interests, during the CPR era until he was fully paid off.

He/CL decided that the Championship winning team were not good enough for the Premiership & started the dismantling process that we've never been able to stop since. 

 

Wholesale job lots of journeymen keep turning up & our youths get no game time so they end up being shipped out. 

 

Couple that with the "fearty cat" one up front approach, no matter the opposition, and you get the eye bleeding stuff we've endured for years.

It will depend on the terms of the loans. There may be a stipulation that she remains on the Board while any part of the debt remains. I assume that she will also retain a first ranking security over the Club's assets.

 

£2.1m of the loans are interest-free "short term" loans, which won't be repayable for 12 months (it's not clear if that means the end of the financial year - June 2021 or 12 months from the date of sign off of the accounts - 30 November)

 

£1m in another "loan facility" also attracts market rate interest, but is not repayable before October 2023.

So she has even more power over the club then?

[Diego10]

He actually said far worse things in the interview than this, which in context was an attempt to say the team should be relaxed and playing well.

 

As an example, he said we had 'limited QoS to 3 or 4 chances', after one of the most inept defensive displays in club history.

As crystal clear as I can state.

 

From the accounts

Bidco (1874) Limited continued to provide a number of short-term loan facilities to the company over the
course of the year, amounting to £1,225k (2019 - £700k). The total short-term facilities owed to Bidco
(1874) Limited at 30 June 2020 was £2,095k (2019 - £870k). These facilities have been provided on an
interest free basis. Subsequent to year end, Bidco (1874) Limited confirmed that no repayment would be
sought within the next twelve-month period.

 

In the prior year, a director provided a £1m loan facility to the company. The loan has been provided at
market interest rates. Post year-end, the director has varied the facility, such that no repayment of the loan
is now due until October 2023. At 30 June 2020, £999k (2019 - £702k) of this varied facility has been
drawn down by the company.

Not to mention the expected " shortfall" this season.

Aberdeen expect a £6m gap, Rangers are turning over shares like Tory mp's give out contracts and Celtic have burnt through about £30m of cash reserves. 

We'll Be ok tho, there will be generous folk just willing to fund any gaps we may have.

 

If Ann just chucked it, we'd be in big trouble.

The only one of note is the Brora Rangers result, the rest are inconsequential if we win the league. 

Literally, apart from Brora the other teams are in   the same league as us.

Getting beat of a team in the same league should not cause to many Heart attacks, especially if you win said league.

In terms of these loans can I ask you a question FF, while accepting you many not know the answer. I'm assuming these are personal loans that Ann Budge made to Heart of Midlothian, a business which she controls under the umbrella of BidCo. So, for those loans to be agreed who actually gave the go ahead from HMFC for these to go ahead, as everything done in the name of HMFC is effectively signed off by Ann Budge.
