1 Over 5000 season tickets sold.
2 TV revenue from home matches.
3 Merchandise sold in the club shop.
4 £200,000 from DUSF.
5 Prize money up to around £1,500,000 depending on league position.
6 Legal fees paid by the supporters and subsequently Hearts who were ordered to pay costs.
7 A possible insurance pay out.
8 An interest free loan of up to £1,600,000 with nothing to repay until 2022 and paid back over twenty years.

I am sure the owner will be able to recover the money he is putting in now at the end of the season and other club owners will be doing the same.
GB I think that if MO could go back and change what he said, when he said it and how he said it he might want to change a few things.

In what I said I wasn't having a go at the FM because if I had the vote she would get it. (The vote! No, I wouldn't by the way)

He's human just like all of us, under pressure from Covid just like all of us. He was probably pi55ed off at the time watching his businesses leaking money and just let his frustrations get the better of him.

From what I've seen of him he appears committed although things can always change, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I completely understand what you said about fans spending in hard times to support the club but there's a difference between us supporters who grew up with the club in their blood and an owner with a new interest in the club.
