Wester Hailes Skins Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 41 minutes ago, Dynamo said: Not going to lose any sleep over those signings but we need to get out house in order otherwise it will be same story again next season. Hearts have done well this season, but there's been no challenge at all. We won a lot of games back to back there while actually being a bit shit. Shankland a stand out obviously. But our MF needs major attention. The three new additions are safe decent players. I expect us to try for Strain plus either Phillips or Baccus. But i think there'll be a couple of real quality players added over summer. Especially up front if Shankland is sold. Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Unfortunately we aren't in any position to be taking the piss out of Hearts transfer strategy at the moment. First time in quite a while that's happened tbf Link to comment

sooth_stander Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The Hearts hotel was featured on A View from the Terrace last week. Great initiative but mice could barely be swung in them. Strange. Actually reminded me of placing beds in our RDS executive boxes Link to comment

Especially in summer or during rugby &/or concerts? even if you just average the rooms being used for only 300 nights a year at a low average or £200pn it’s about £1.2m yes there are some nights it would be as low as £100pn but plenty nights when it will be as much as £400pn especially during rugby & all through festival they could easily take in £1m a year from hotel when add in conference rooms + bar etc. on top. It’s nice to slate them for it but it will definitely generate a lot of money for them. FFS Killies hotel kept them afloat for long enough Link to comment

We want to slate them but it’s good business for them. Extra money coming in they didn’t have before 🤷 Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Just having a small bar alone can make £4/£5k profit a week in Edinburgh, even if just ticking over through week but busy on weekends if run right. Summer months/rugby etc. easily make up for ‘quiet’ spells too Link to comment
englishred Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 22 hours ago, Geoff_Tipps said: Just for the record, I am not using this as an opportunity to detract from our own shambles. The point I am making is if Hearts are signing players like Dhanda, Penrice and Spittal it's not exactly going to see them pull away. They probably said the exact same when we signed Devlin and they were 100% right to. Agree with this. The only way any team though outside the big two is going to seriously upgrade is if there is serious money spent on fees and wages. We can all see from our own transfer business what £600k buys. I think it'll be interesting to see what happens at Easter Road in the summer now they have a billionaire investor on the board, can't see them paying millions but who knows Link to comment

The new manager is going to be on a very expensive contract. Eats into the playing budget but he'll be worth it. Link to comment

A mean his record in top flight isn’t exactly great & it really doesn’t say much to win the ‘championship’ with easily the biggest budget. Not like he’s some kind of miracle worker in doing so.
