simply hearts cant afford to spend on 'big players' , so to say they choose youth over spending isnt a viable statement at all . rangers owners are an embrassment and so is the sfa for allowing this to happen, how can the easdales ever pass a fit and proper person test ?.

when hearts have a good bank balance and still play with youth then your post will have a point but until then it does not.

im amused also that a hearts fan is stupid enough to boast about there great run club after the past few years and have a CVA in place.

Aye, you're daft right enough. I assume the OP is talking about the abysmal way we were run compared to how things are now.

Hearts were a mess, we were punished and appear to have come through things in good shape with fan ownership on the horizon.

Rangers went bust and appear to have learned nothing. Only new 'share issues' are keeping yous lot from admin again. No wonder, paying 4-figure wages to expensive signings in Div3!!! Fat Sally on £800k wages?!! I know Sevco fans don't like 'independence' but for a club with tens of thousands of paying fans on a weekly basis, surely fan ownership is a given? Duh.

Hearts do have a good bank balance ;)

Anyway question r.e your criticism of the sfa, I think they're damned if they do and damned if they don't when it comes to Rangers. If they'd said whyte wasn't a fit and proper person when he was being hailed as the "saviour" your lot would be asking ally for names and addresses. Rangers fans problem is and was you want someone else to cough up, if you want them to be safe and not getting robbed by crooks left right and centre you need to start a FoH type thing. I'd imagine Rangers could have 50000 folk paying £20 a month easily.

It is doubtful whether there was a realistic opportunity for Rangers to be rescued by a Foundation of Hearts style project.

The foundation of Hearts was formed in 2010 three years before administration happened. They'd already been looking to come up with some kind of deal with UBIG and Ukio Bankas before they were out of the picture so when the time came to talk to the administrators of UBIG and Ukio Bankas instead they were already rolling.

If a Foundation of Rangers had been formed in response to the administration it would have been hopelessly late in getting it's act together to put a serious bid together even if we assume that Duff & Phelps' 2 month administration process was all above board.

The complexity of the Hearts case with all three entities being at different stages of administration process and the parties being spread between Scotland and Lithuania meant that there was never much chance of getting out of Admin by January which could have saved us from relegation but the delay also meant that there was time for the Foundation to drum up thousands of direct debits.

What's more while we Hearts Supporters like to pat ourselves on the back, and appreciate other people patting us on the back, for saving the club ourselves as opposed waiting for someone else to clean up the mess it would be somewhat disingenuous to ignore Anne Budge's role in the project.
If she hadn't been ready to tie up a big lump of her money for several years then normal Hearts supporters would have had to find several million over a matter of months as opposed to years to make a deal like this work.
To cover the mess at Rangers would have taken substantially more

If the press had went after Rangers owners the same way they did Romanov maybe the fans would've seen the mess they were in sooner. Unfortunately for them papers were too scared to write anything bad about them incase they boycotted them as has been threatened in the past.

I still think green buying them for circa £5m is so cheap and they could've raised that in a few weeks if needed.

Just a small point,Rangers can't afford "big players" but they chose to ignore that.Hence they are on the Precipice of another financial disaster.
