Bull's-eye Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 The goon squad are out in force. If you go out on a Saturday night with £100 then have a great night and wake up with 40p left in your pocket. Or you could tap another £100 of yer mum and go out with £200, same rules apply, have a better night but still wake up with 40p in your pocket. Does that simplify it enough for everyone ?

Still £2.1m outstanding. Seem to have made a fair bit of capital expenditure. £1.3m spent on plant and equipment and a further £1.1m on "assets under construction" (hotel?)

Serious question, are you happy with the profit dropping by over a million with no significant spend on the playing staff and no progress made in the football department? we are first and foremost a football club and we should have been able to use the European money to consolidate 3rs place for next few years, we have instead ended up back battling it out with Hubs, Aberdeen and St Mirren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamorgan Jambo Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 £4 million of the £4.5 million in benefactor donations came from a director (James Anderson) The club still owed Ann Budge £2 million of her £3 million loan Her 'Hibby brother's' firm was paid £367K over the year Profit on player trading of £370K.

Gorgie_Rules Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 (edited) Another set of accounts, another year that the benefactors donations need explained. Take James Anderson as an example, hes not some life long Hearts fan that is deciding to pump the club with cash to keep the club us afloat. He is using the club as a means to be charitable. The most obvious example of this is the MND sponsorship on the front of the strips. Without this we’d have commercial sponsor instead. Expenditure on the Women's team, innovation centre, links with big Hearts etc, all this would have less expenditure without the donations. Of course indirectly some of this means it can be spent on the playing side, but any notion that the club is reliant upon benefactor (or FoH) donations to stay afloat is incorrect.
