Hearts manager John McGlynn knows that he and his players can only really focus on what they can affect, results on the pitch, during the club's financial problems. Fans have already stumped up over £600,000 in response to the call to buy shares which aims to bring in £1.79million. A full house greeted the teams on Saturday when St Mirren were the guests which all helps keep the money coming in. Hearts have the deadline for their £450,000 tax bill looming following a negotiation with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs earlier this month. Hearts take on Motherwell on Saturday and hope to record another encouraging result. The Hearts manager, who has already deferred his salary for one month, said: "If we can go and get results it will make people more concentrate on the results and hopefully, at the same time, give the fans even more encouragement to save the football club. That's the only thing we've got any real control over, on the pitch. We can't control people coming in and buying shares. We can encourage them by getting results and that's what we have to do. We need the money still to keep coming in. Although £600,000 is an amazing amount of money, there's still a long way to go. All we can do is try to ask the fans to keep putting their hands in their pocket. And I know you can't keep hitting the same pocket, so hopefully there's others out there who can help us."
