THE OFFICIAL: "LET'S ALL LAUGH AT HEARTS"

[Nips_and_Tatties]

Money problems and debts.

 

That Feargal Sharkey was spot on...

 

"A good Hearts these days is hard to fund"

 

[wi_09]

Cathro gone!!

 

Gutted 

[CtS]

Good to see them in turmoil just 4 days before the season kicks off, hopefully this will cost them a fortune and further halt their progress. 

[Jute]

Cathro gone!!

 

Gutted 

 

Really hoped they would give him until Christmas so he could have done irreversible damage to the cunts. Oh well here hoping they appoint Levein.

[wi_09]

A few of my mates seem to be getting quite worried about Locke returning!! Some seem to think they are going to get Sergio back.

 

Interesting to see what the bookies make of it. Hartley might be a front runner??

 

[donsdaft]

It's possible but being sacked by Dundee for being shite doesn't usually lead to a job at Hearts.

[ThePiper]

Is the Matalan Mourinho in with a shout? Good enough for the Purple Fuckers!

Firstly lol at hertz.

 

Secondly I would agree with this but stranger things have happened,  Hartley was a fantastic player for Hearts and the fans love him and there is a recognition that he was up the swanny without Stewart and Hemmings.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him interviewed put it that way....

[Ten Caat]

Fuck....

 

 

They might get in some c@nt that actually has a clue what he's doing now...

 

 

Or they might get Hartley  :rofl:

Very much this.  Just when you fear that things might be moving on at Tynie, this happens to restore my faith in everything 

 

I'm just gutted, wanted Cathro there for a while, guaranteed a few points.  Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Hartley was given it.

[TheDeeDon]

I don't think I have ever seen a manager look so out of his depth than Cathro. I suppose thon horse heided guy who was his assistant will be gone with him and Potter will be taking the reigns in the interim.

[rocket_scientist]

The timing is so bizarre and more proof that Ann Fudge (packer) and Parry Hotter haven't got a clue what they're doing.

 

Unless Cathro made an inappropriate advance to the chairwoman, why wait the whole summer to bin the useless prick?

Ah the wonders of the Construction industry

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40820663

 

Hearts will not play any league matches at Tynecastle until November due to delays in the main stand construction.

 

The club say that wet weather and waiting for seating to arrive from the Far East forced the "contingency plan" of playing at Murrayfield.

 

Hearts will face Aberdeen in September and St Johnstone and Rangers in October at the national rugby stadium.

 

"Unfortunately, there are some things we cannot control," said chief executive Ann Budge.

 

"Despite the mammoth effort that has gone into the construction project up until now, we are not going to make our targeted open for business date of 9th September 2017 [against Aberdeen]."

 

Hearts had negotiated with the SPFL that their opening four fixtures against Celtic, Motherwell, Rangers and Kilmarnock would be played away from home.

 

The St Johnstone game will be on October 21, with the Rangers game scheduled to be seven days later. A third fixture, against Patrick Thistle on September 23 has been switched to Firhill.

 

"While this is disappointing, the cooperation of the management and staff at the SRU means we can accommodate all, indeed even more, of our supporters in fine style at the national rugby stadium," Budge added.

 

Hearts have played six European ties at Murrayfield going back to 2004, and they also hosted a friendly match against Barcelona back in the summer of 2007 watched by over 57,000 fans.

 

"Scottish Rugby is looking forward to welcoming Hearts to Murrayfield for three matches in the next couple of months," said Scottish Rugby's Chief Operating Officer Dominic McKay.

 

"As Scotland's biggest sporting stadium, Murrayfield has a history of hosting football matches having welcomed Hearts, Barcelona and Celtic in the past. We look forward to working closely with Hearts in the coming weeks."

I can see the dons taking 40K down to this one.

But but, they get such huge crowds

[TheDeeDon]

Hearts playing at the home of Scottish rugby, they way they play should fit right in there.

[Jute]

Hearts claiming delay is down them "forgetting" to order seats for the stand. http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/hearts/hearts-main-stand-delayed-after-club-forgot-to-order-seats-1-4522806

:rofl:

 

To be fair, every reply on the thread gives the op abuse for the ridiculous suggestion. Makes for quite good reading actually.

Hilarious find PL

Some cracking replies there tbf 

[Madbadteacher]

Avril confirmed as manager

 

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41074481

 

No-one else wanted it except Daly I guess?

[DollyLongstaffe]

Anyone else suspect their short-list of no-hopers  (and psycho Davies) was deliberately engineered and floated for 3-4 weeks so the announcement of Avril would look like a not-so-bad option?  If Levein had been announced right after Cathro went they'd have been rioting and burning their season tickets.  Now they're thinking at least it's not Hartley or Pressley or the guy that got gubbed by Motherwell on Saturday.

[RicoS321]

Possibly, but I suspect it's more to do with the fact that their skint. They're a few months behind on the building works, and it'll be hitting them hard. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect them to have a below-par season whilst all their investment is going into developing the ground. I'd expect them to recover next season, but I think they'll just have to limp through this one. Levein is actually the right person to grind out results with a brutal style of football.

[tom_widdows]

I see yon Jambos have drawn up a 'plan B' just incase the new stand isn't ready for November 5th.

 

I'm starting to wonder if they are using the same project management team & contractors as were used to build the tram network.

 

They have 13 games left in 2017 of which 10 are meant to be at home. Murrayfield is booked for 2 of them and they may have the option of using it for the November 5th but after that they may have to go crawling to Hibs, Livingston & Edinburgh City.

I shall look forward to them shutting down the transport infrastructure of central Edinburgh for years before eventually installing a single seat in an already existing stand and leaving the rest to rust in a depot in Costorphine.
