Horatio Caine Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 This should supply the main talking point for the `pundits` on Sportsound this afternoon. Chick Young will be creaming himself at the prospect of even such a discussion, never mind if it really happened. Hearts recent form on the pitch will be conveniently ignored in favour of `new turmoil`. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Good timing in the run-up to elections next year.

Paolo Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 This is not a new story. Anyway Vlad is spot on. He and his group have pumped millions into the economy and wants to pump millions more but the council and the FSA are bein morons. The bank has met every request put to them but still are getting nowhere due to the FSA's prejudicial views about all things Eastern European being dodgy whilst ignoring our own shambolic banks. The council too are clueless when it comes to the stadium. They played politics with Mercer because he was a Tory and now they are playing politics again tottally oblivious to the true value to Edinburgh speending most of the time and money on one tram line, which no-one wants and for which they have a cheek to want to charge Hearts for.

Wolfstar Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Its the quote in the hibsman that said we cant expand the stadium due to chemicals being stored near by, yet just 100 yards further away from the main stand a new high school was built... oh yeah I can see the logic there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FSA /Banking regulations are way above my comprehension,your on your own there Dave ! Totally agree re the stands. If it's safe for 500 kids at the new school to be in the vicinity then I can't see why a new stand, further away than the Wheatfield ( holding 6,000 at apparent risk ) is an issue. The FSA will have requirements that all banks need to meet to trade in the UK. If, unlike hundreds of other foreign banks that trade in the UK, Ukios can't meet them then UKIOS need to look at themselves imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orkneyjambo Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 It was fairly obvious that the Scotsman would put this sort of thing out now. It might have been before the Hibs game but the impact would have been lost if, as expected, we beat them. They don't particularly care for Celtic so it didn't go out before the midweek game They are of course totally cheesed off at having to put out all the good news stories and having had to publish the new story about the ?10 million debt reduction this seemed a good time to re-hash this old story to serve their agenda better Even if other papers pick this up it is only worth ignoring, as is the newspaper itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I wondered when something like this would surface. It has been just too good for Hearts in the last while, meantime the team roond the corner have been in absolute chaos. We have just gone through it with the Lennon statements, where he proves all Vlad's theories are pretty close. and now this, it seems when anything goes right for Hearts the opportunity is presented to come out with a Vlad is leaving story. It may well be true that he has made the statement, gee in all my 75 years I have never ever before heard anyone make a similar threat in similar circumstances. If it takes the Council as long to consider and decide an outcome as it is taking them to conclude the tram construction, a safe bet is in that 100 years of contemplation Hibs may have even been able to win a cup. Nah now I am being ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Independence Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Vlad is correct to make his major point. Scotland does itself no favours by putting off businesses that wish to invest money here. The way Donald Trump has been dealt with by some of the public, Aberdeen City Council and the media has been a disgrace. We should be encouraging new business and investment not making it as hard as we can for it to be progressed! The message is 'Scotland is closed for business'. The Labour party and the CEC in particular has a lot to answer for. Now if Vlad was wishing to put down some tram lines. You couldn't make this up. He must be very frustrated at the lack of progress.

I.T.K Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Interesting, I have no problem with businesses being asked to contribute to the city council and conform to H&S when building large construction etc. If it were a Tesco we would have no problem with it. Hearts are a business but they are also a city attraction and a leisure activity for people. I think its okay for the council to ask for some cash but not be OTT. At the end of the day European football will put the city on the map and bring more revenue in to the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
