postiejim Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Porter would be a good signing for Hearts if they can get him and if asked he might join them. And I always thought Calum Elliott was a decent player . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boys In Maroon Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Boys In Maroon - Boy wi his heid in the clouds mair like! ?? I don't want to be drawn into arguements. I signed up to this forum for some banter and debate. I have no bad feeling towards M'well or the fans and Fir Park is one of my favourite away grounds. I know M'well fans don't like Hearts(why i don't know?) but for the sake of forums rules, lets just get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammer Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Porter would be a good signing for Hearts if they can get him and if asked he might join them. And I always thought Calum Elliott was a decent player You a Jambo in disguise? Elliott couldnae kick doors at Halloween, an utter fraud of a footballer. I'm sure big Ports will be off sooner or later and if I'm being honest I'd rather get some money for him in this window but certainly not to those Gorgie fuckers.

Boys In Maroon Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Don't ask me, ask the players that are still waiting on their win bonuses from last year. Or have a word with Arbroath. When you are stiffing a wee team out of 14 grand, you know are in financial trouble. Arbroath were only entitled to money if webster was sold. Incase you don't know webster left in the 3rd year of a 4 year deal therfore Hearts never recieved a fee. It's all crazy behind the scene's stuff, if anybody is due money it shouldf be webster.

weeyin Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Even if a transfer fee was involved, we wouldn't see any money from Vlad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I don't know what makes you think Hearts are a better club than Motherwell if you are using 'bigger' and 'better' as two seperate statements. As a club, Hearts are the laughing stock of Scottish football and I do not envy their supporters in the slightest. Hearts are undoubtedly a larger club than Motherwell, and so they should be. It could even be argued that you've got a better team on the park than us at the moment, but a better club? Not a chance mate.

Why would you do that? Hearts expected a bigger compensation package when they took webster to court. Hearts and Arbroath made an agreement that money would be paid if a correct compensation package was awarded to Hearts. That never happened so arbroath missed out but, i think Hearts will pay Arbroath cash even though we are not to blame in this whole nonsence.

weeyin Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 It doesn't matter who is to blame. Hearts agreed to pay Arbroath on Aug 1 last year. They still haven't payed. They have also deferred payment on players win bonuses. Why would they need to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why delay the payment until January, on which you're now having to pay six months' interest to Arbroath, when if you have no financial issues you could presumably just have paid it back in August when they asked for it...?

Neil Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Or you could pay other clubs gate reciepts on tickets sold by yourselves, which I believe was in the paper recently, without the threat of being taken to court Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Kerse Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I really can't see why Porter would be a target for Hearts, I mean he is British!! As for Porter himself, I htink he would go there in a heartbeat despite the madness at the club, would take 300K in January but not a penny less.

As for Porter himself, I htink he would go there in a heartbeat despite the madness at the club, would take 300K in January but not a penny less. If he did go to Hearts, the money would have to be in the bank (and cleared) before we let him go. No idea why he would go there when he can find a better deal down south, mind you.

TheLip69 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Why would he not be paid? Hearts wage bill is currently 125% of their turnover, which is ubsustainable in the current economic climate. As evidenced by the fact that on several occasions over the past few months players wages have been late going into the bank, in some cases the payments were deferred. Apparently, Shabba hasn't had a single payment since he took over at Tynecastle. Now we've all heard the old excuse about it being a bank error, but when the guy who owns the Football team also owns the bank, what are the chances of it being an error? Once is an error, twice is a major problem. How many times has it been now? So embarrassing was it becoming that ALL Hearts staff are now paid monthly rather than weekly. Thus the damaging headlines will only be once a month rather than weekly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. Arbroath were entitled to a percentage of anything Hearts received once Webster moved on, that's the way the clause is written in case a player moves on in a straight swap with another player, then a tribunal sets the price and the club are rewarded accordingly. So had Hearts given Webster away for a cold fish supper, they would owe Arbroath some chips. Football clubs aren't that stupid they wouldn't see that loophole. Any compensation Hearts receive then Arbroath are entitled to their fair share. Your club are only trying to weasel out of it because you DONT HAVE ANY MONEY. Arbroath are only accepting a lesser fee, because the alternative was spending years in court fighting for it and spending more in legal fees than they would eventually get. Guess who put that hypothesis to them? Good old Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Im sure I heard Wishart say that most clubs pay monthly these days and Hearts were one of the few to still pay weekly. They then recently moved to monthly payments.

Yir Elder Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Whatever the rights and wrongs of Jambos financial dealings, I do not believe that Ports will be interested in moving to them, he will be eyeing a move back down south. Also, the timing of this announcement is cheeky at the very least, and a Ports goal or two tomorrow night would be sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellfan1984 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Was it not Porter to be the first player to come out at the start of the season and call FHW a joke of a club after McGhee refused to join them? Saying he would never go to a club like that etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossiemfc Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yeah he did say that in the paper. Hearts fans on Jambo kickback weren't happy at the time. Wouldn't beleive a word that comes out of Euan Cameron's mouth. Real Radio football phone in is worse than Clyde One's super scoreboard.
