That must mean Danny Wilson is not a Hearts player because they havent registered him yet. Craig, how does it work if the company Hearts are owe money to go bust and are insolvent. Will their (Vlad's bank) administrators be calling in all monies due?

The collar is awful and ruins it. Doesnt help they picked 3 junkies off the street to model them

Danny Wilson hasnt played a good game since he partnered Davie Weir. Not so sure Id want him back at Ibrox. I think we got Hearts best player last year when we signed Templeton.

Agreed. I am not sure what they are waiting for TBH as a miracle buyer or bailout doesnt look forth coming. They should be preparing for long term. No OF Derbies, no Edinburgh derbies and no Dundee derbies...how are the SPL going to sell a TV package to SKY? Old skicky balls in the cup draws is likely!

Take away their badge and add ours along with a nicer looking sponsor then its not a bad shirt. I quite like it. Im not a fan of collars on football tops but this one isnt bad as its not to big. I was in a shop the other day and picked up a few shirts from last season that were on sale. I tried on AC Milans home, away and third and chose the away top as the collars on the other 2 where too chunky.

Nice early start for some staff.

I assume we are getting nearer to getting the new puma kit being on sale.

The main issue Im baffled about is that the SPL and SFA arent pouncing on them. Last year PRIOR to us going into Admin we were being hounded. Like a lot of other Bears up until 2012 we would probably always have a soft spot for Hearts, and when they have played either Spurs or Liverpool in the past few season before last Ive never wanted another SPL club to do as well in Europe as in those games. Yet their mad owner assisted in sending us down the leagues so the relationship has got a long way to go near building bridges again. Hearts and the other SPL clubs (except Ross County) made their own beds and they can deal with their own problems. I dont wish any bad luck or good luck towards them, what happens, happens. How they go about their business is none of ours. They just have to remember what they wished for (or voted).

Didnt Hearts reduce our allocation in the last few seasons anyway? We used to get the full stand behind the goal then they reduced it to 2/3. That was another self inflicted reduction of income.

9 others are saying the exact same thing, they just wont admit it. Ross County are an exception as they havent been in the same league as us before. Celtic will get by despite their attendances being doctored.

Sandaza failed so try Haber? No thanks.

Longmuir has taken way too long to get a statement out. While being the only credible and honest member of the 3 men at the top of each body he has been way too weak and quiet, and didnt grab his opportunity months ago. He had the trump card with Rangers being in the SFL for 3 years and has let these sneaks come in the back door and achieve their takeover. It all makes sense now. I think it was Rab who said SFA and SPL have managed to negotiate with SKY to have Rangers away from the SPL for another season (initially it was 1) then the SPL 2 will be in place and a TV deal struck. The season is 6-7 weeks from being underway, they will roll out the fixtures for 12-10-10-10 and plans will be in place for 12-12-18 next year.

All I see is the SFL sold out and now we have a takeover leaving Doncaster steering the sinking ship. There is no change structure wise yet but these sneaks will have something up their sleaves to generate money to so called bigger SPL sides. All we can do is get on with it by winning Div 2 this coming season.

How many deadlines to they get!

Seems a bit harsh.

A clever man with common sense exposing the fact that its been an attempted take over from day 1 rather than a merger.

Good luck to Weir, at the minimum he would be a terrific coach.

Why not? He is a footballing person and I personally quite like him. I could bet he is a different person face to face rather than the act he puts on infront of the media. He is more clever than people think, he is not a fan of the manipulative media so he gives them stupid answers which I like.

If the position was available today I'd have no problem with Strachan taking over, and he'd be higher up on my realistic preference list than most names that have been mentioned. I actually think in the right circumstances he'd do a better job for us than he did them. A few players now like Miller and Mo Johnston have played for both, there will be a time when a manager has done both also.

You have a crystal ball? I dont think we'll be world beaters all of a sudden but give credit where credit is due....its a good win, end of.

Very good win. Sadly the appointment was 1 year too late. Anyone could see Levein shouldnt have lead the team into this WC group, it was the best opportunity we've had to get to a tournament since France 98. I like Strachan also and we could do a lot worse at Ibrox.

Doesnt miss us but WANTS to draw us in the one of the cups. Am I missing something there? The guy is obviously a gluepot. How old is this chap? If I recall, they havent won at Ibrox for 22 years and counting and Im guessing you could count on one hand how many times they have taken the lead in that time. As it stands I hope we avoid them in the cups, unless our team improves on last season. They are the last set of 'fans' I would want to enter Ibrox although it would be nice to stuff them and I dont fancy giving them a pay day. Id rather draw the likes of Ross County and St Mirren in the cups next season.

Not sure about the paint but another cracking top from Chelsea. In the last 6 years they have easily had the best home and away tops in the UK.

Pity it wasnt Carol Vorderman....she's like a fine wine! But jeez the guy looks a bit like Craig Whyte, same kinda eye!

The league is the priority and should be wrapped up in March. Ramsdens Cup showings last season were poor and we should be looking to add this to our history to collect the clean sweep. This is a good season to go for it as next season in Div 1 we should be preparing more and concentrating on league and the other cups. The Scottish and League cups are again a bonus for me. But we should be improving on performances against Dundee Utd and Inverness last season and at least competitive against SPL sides. Runs to the quarter or Semi's finals should be beyond our reach unless we meet Celtic early on. I think every bear would agree we arent strong enough to get past them. But I dont see us being much weaker than any other SPL team. I do think the old sticky balls act will be in place for an OF cup tie this coming season. The SFA NEED this to keep Sky on side.
