You did correct me and my original post was inaccurate re the league placings, fair enough, but the overall comparison stands, Hibs have improved where as as we have not. If you cannot admit that then that is your problem. In addition they haven't peed £12 million up the wall in getting there. We both know it won't last though. Quote

I acknowledged the fact that I was wrong in my assessment that Hibs had improved " season on season", that's the second time I have said that, but I am correct my assessment that overall they have made a bigger success since being promoted than we have. That is all I am saying and I certainly have no problem in admitting that. As for the Hibs good, Hearts bad quote, come on. Quote

Hibs good, Hearts bad. In addition to my previous post, I have just checked the league placings since Hibs first season back in 2017/18 season. They have finished above us every season since and including that one. As I never checked the actual league placings before my original post, it still confirms that since we both got promoted Hibs have been better than us. Don't mention results between the clubs as that has nothing to do with the point I am making. Every season, let that sink in as it's probably back in the 70's since that last happened. Quote

Skewed argument, mate. We were back up at the first attempt while they were wallowing down there for another two seasons. First season back up we finished 3rd. Quote

How long it took Hibs to get promoted has nothing to do with my argument, it is what has happened since. As for first season back we finished 3rd is exactly my point, we have since been relegated due to our continued downward spiral and they have now finished third.

Francis Albert Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Can we not just agree that Hibs have been better than us since they were promoted. If that is the case it is surely a big enough indictment for any Hearts fan Edited July 29, 2021 by Francis Albert Quote

Hibs in last 6 seasons have finished (not in order) 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 13th, 15th. Hearts in last 6 seasons have finished (not in order) 3rd, 5th, 5th, 6th, 12th, 13th. Both qualified for Europe once in that time. Bugger all in it if you ask me. Would they not have qualified for Europe twice? 4th place would be get a UEFA cup spot presuming Celtic won the cup. Quote

Your argument starts when they came up, I get that, this season will determine how both teams are progressing. Think we’re done here. 👍 Quote

None of these should have any validity, unless it is the second one and, if so, as members we should be informed. Anyone looking in from a distance would be calling "scam" at this point. Quote

However if the reason for the delay is the 2nd one on FF's list, then the "expert" directors on the FoH board should be more than a little embarrassed that a legal/tax issue is only becoming apparent to them now.

Ann spoke well today I thought. I admit I have been a critic at times (particularly after the Brora match) but I've never doubted that she puts a heck of a lot of work into this club and we are lucky to have her. Getting James Anderson on board is a fantastic piece of business too. It's clear that the club is moving in the right direction and I am sure it will continue once the ownership has transferred to FOH. Edited August 8, 2021 by Silvery_Moon Quote

Wonder what foh's definition of imminent is.

FOH is filming a video at Tynecastle tomorrow, having invited those who were involved in running FOH from the outset and in the early days of its existence, to show how FOH has progressed since its inception. I assume that creating the video will be a precursor to the official "announcement" of the transfer within the next week or two.

I've been contributing from very early on. But it did take leadership to kick it off .We all played our part(mines is small compared to others but affordable) My name on the strip and most importantly that I can still go to watch Hearts is reward. Wouldn't mind a wee walk on part in the video though 🙂 Quote

Agree your last point but I suspect the ordinary members past and present will also get their due in the celebrations/ceremony. Personally I would prefer something understated, simple and cheap, with maximum funds going to the club especially given current financial cobnstraints. (A re-enactment of the differences between founders, past and present directors and Ann, drawing in part on Murray's book, and the bits cut out, would be fun however) Quote

colinmaroon Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 Imminent = forthcoming, inevitable, about to happen, approaching etc. Not a doom and gloom meaning among those.

Trying to put any negative spin on this is ridiculous, spurious, unforgiveable, stupid, pointless, and should receive an imminent kick up the a**e!!! Quote
