Does this maybe mean groundsmen have been laid off? Replaced with slave labour?

[Houchy]

It's so irritating how they can continually have major cashflow problems and pay their employees late on a frequent basis and yet they feel little or no effects of it all in the long run.

If that was us, we would have gone to the wall years ago.

Let me know when things get to the Sevco stage. :aok:

But you're forgetting that they have 400,000 supporters who are all queuing to pay £1000 each to clear their debt but, according to them, we only have 10000

They probably did the same as Hibs do and outsource it. It's certainly a change in direction from the club, previously they would just let them do the work and not pay them. However, my guess is that the company concerned has told them that they won't continue to work for them until they're paid up to date, which clearly isn't going to happen.

So they've forked off :greengrin

According to todays Edinburgh Evening News BRIAN KENNEDY would consider stepping in to save Hearts and he has a reported £250 million fortune at his disposal. He is also reported to be a Hibs fan, if he was a real HIBBY he would plough some of that fortune in the club he supports. He can't be that much of a Hibs fan if he is considering saving Hearts. Unless this article is total C R A P as we see often in EEN.

So hahahahahhearts fans are going to dig deep in their pockets and raise enough money to pay for the liquidators’ fees.

How would it be Hibs ran a campaign for our fans to match or perhaps even surpass the efforts of hahahahahearts fans and donate in to a straight forward boost to our club’s finances ahead of the January transfer window?

Does it take a club to be in crisis before we dig deep?

Stop blaming Vlad. Stop posting on JKB saying you're going to buy shares as its the least you can do. No, it's not. You've sat back for five years and done nothing to help your club when everyone could see what was happening.

You're every bit as much at fault as Romanov is. Blinded by your arrogance and pomposity.

Hope your club gets flushed down the pan. Twice.

As much as some of this stuff (eg the volunteers with pitchforks) is amusing, it really is disgraceful and every Hearts supporter should be embarrassed and ashamed of their club. Something like that could tip a small community club over the edge.

:agree: So transparent that they don't mention a £450k tax bill in their share prospectus, then when it's public knowledge and they have to come out and announce it, they say they weren't aware of it.

It's PAYE and VAT - there's no danger that a business wouldn't know they were due that. More lies.

I'm sure they owe lots of money to local businesses, but I'm hearing that they owe Newtongrange, £5K in rent for the U19's home games.
GGTTH

The figure is closer to £3k (from a club insider - the Star that is, not the yams). The same source informed me that Romanov personally turned up at a recent game and asked for half the gate money to be paid to him there and then - which it unbelievably was (approx £900). At the time he promised the Star would be fully paid within a couple of days - still no cheque. I've no idea why they didn't with hold gate money to pay the dues, must be something contractual that prevents them from doing that and no doubt the yamboids would be first to start shouting if someone was owe them money!

Within the last week the Star have sent a letter to hearts stating if they don't receive monies due then they will cease their use of the facilities.

Vlad has to try and get to transfer window time. That way the Dafties will have bought up the shares, spent money on tickets, got the dosh for the cup game and sell every player they can, then with some money in his pocket he will pull the plug. Go into liquidation and I think the players contracts go to the sfa or something and vlad will get nothing for them. Question is, does vlad actually have 450k?

It's a good point. Most of the senior players are out of contract in the summer so it would be difficult for him to raise £450k from player sales in January to cover his outlay on the tax bill.

I still haven't seen a good reason for him to pay it. He won't get it back.

They certainly won't get any decent fee now for any player. I think the most significant thing about the January transfer window, if they make it that far, is that they might be able to release a few of the high earners if the players agree to it.

Is it a possibility this is a bit of a PR stunt? Don't get me wrong, they are probably really up the creek with the payment order. But the statement is quite uncharacteristic of the yams. Is it possible he's making a meal of this just so he can show prospective investors the potential turnouts and romanov's going to jump in at the end and save the day?

Or is it actually too good to be true?

I don't think so.

First, Vlad said he wanted to sell the club. No takers.

Then they announced the share issue, and hinted it could be repeated if take up was good.

Yesterday's announcement and panicked statements has surely spiked the share issue - I know your average Yam is stupid, but I can't see how a story about another unpaid tax bill can help sell shares.

It seems a mental way of going about things. But then, I suppose that's been obvious for seven years.

:agree: So transparent that they don't mention a £450k tax bill in their share prospectus, then when it's public knowledge and they have to come out and announce it, they say they weren't aware of it.

It's PAYE and VAT - there's no danger that a business wouldn't know they were due that. More lies.

Transparent... they're about as transparent as Gary McKay is weighed down by medals.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would offer £3 million for Driver. What has he ever done apart from clog up the treatment room? He averages around 20 appearances and about 3 goals a season.

I suspect that the £3 million bid was a figment of Vlad's imagination designed to whip up interest.

Apologies if already posted, but I missed this update from Fedotovas posted earlier:

http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/articles/20121108/positive-signs_2241384_2974454


Positive signs

Hearts director Sergejus Fedotovas has today expressed his confidence that the club can emerge from its financial troubles - but only with the help of the supporters.

After being hit with a winding up citation by HMRC yesterday, the Tynecastle board issued a stark warning to fans that unless they bought tickets for the next three home games and/or purchased shares, the visit of St Mirren on November 17 could be the last match.

There has since been an encouraging response fron the Gorgie faithful with the Ticket Centre and online store doing brisk business.

Speaking to Hearts News this afternoon, Sergejus said: "It was not easy for the Board to write that statement yesterday but we find ourselves in a very difficult situation at the moment.

"This is a very tough period for Heart of Midlothian FC and we need the fans to back the club as much as they can.

"The demand for the tickets for St Mirren has picked up and the priority is to sell this game out as well as Celtic and Aberdeen. There has also been a lot of business done in the shares department, which again is great to see.

"But make no mistake, these are extremely tough times for everyone associated with this famous football club and only with the help of the supporters, the lifeblood of the club, will be able to come through them."

No figures given, so we're speculating as to how their emergency fundraising campaign is going. I think they've doomed.

On Facebook this evening


There is a fans fundraising day in the Gorgie Suite on Sunday 18th November.

Graeme Kay, John Quinn, Mark Calder, Gary McWhinnie & Craig Wilson are organising things. They are hoping to sell upwards of 350 tickets so we need you all there, and willing to spend money, and we need you tell all your Hearts supporting members of family and friends.

Tickets will be £20 per person. Obviously other opportunities on the day to spend money. If we get 350 spending £40 each then that’s 14K to the club, either donated or purchasing shares and donating to HYDC. I know Christmas is coming, it’s the same for us all, but we need to dig deep and help the club through this. £40 now, for having a club for the rest of our lives is a small price to pay I think.


We’re trying to get current players, ex-players along. Format will be speakers, irish bingo, Q&A sessions & Scottish cup will be there to get photos (£5 per photo). Scott Wilson is hosting the day for us and Mark Martin from Forth One is being asked to do a disco from 6-8pm. Event starting at 1pm.

Tell everyone you know!

£14k probably wouldn't cover two of the highest paid players wages for a week.

They'd need to have about 10 of these events every week for it to make any difference.

Wish one of them would look at the sort of figures involved and realise the time for this sort of action has gone......keep yer money and invest it into whatever the new company is going to be.

The more events like these the more difficuilt it'll be for them to put cash in when the club really needs it.

All these fundraising efforts are all good and well. BUT they are all happening after the 8 day deadline for the payment of tax is over?!

I'd be very surprised if all the players are willing to defer all of there wages when the clubs on the verge of being liquidated so unlikely to see any of there money. One or two dafties might but no way the whole squad will.

[greenginger]

Scottish football journalists asking relevant questions? You haven't been paying attention.

Here are a couple of questions I would have liked a journalist to ask.

1) This £ 450,000 bill the HMRC are taking you to court for covers the period up to the end when , August, September ?

Have you made provision to pay the October, November Tax and N I. ?

2) How much of this season's income was spent paying last season's bills,wages etc.

3)Are you up to date with local taxes, eg. Business rates for Tynecastle, and rental dues for the club shop and ticket office.

[CropleyWasGod]

They would still be liable for their wages.

The journalists won't ask those questions but I'm sure HMRC will when deciding whether to offer a payment plan or not which is probably why Hertz are panicing now.

[Steve-O]

As free agents, I thought they could?

[heidtheba]

No wonder so many of them are 'in' for the shares option...I'd be 'in' if it meant the difference between being paid and not being paid before xmas!

Really wish Black had still been there...

[matty_f]

On the talk sport news earlier it said Vlad had promised to support them til the end of the season but i can't find anything to support that. Have i missed something?

[bingo70]

As free agents, I thought they could?

No, if they're attached to a club when the transfer window closes they then can't sign for another club until the window opens.

I think the only time this changes is if they're released due to the club going into administration.

[Barney McGrew]

As free agents, I thought they could?

Hertz would have to get them to agree to terminate their contract first before they became a free agent. Even then, you can only sign for another club as a free agent if you we're not contracted to anyone when the window closed.

Anyone Hertz came to an agreement with couldn't sign for anyone else until the window opens again on 1st January.

[gerry70]

That has got to be illegal.

Spot on. The prospectus is a legal document and has a duty of disclosure and transparency to anyone investing. If not, then anyone investing can claim the money back and sue the authors/directors for their money back and/or damages. Doubt if Vlad's pals will give a toss about that? Who is going to sue them?

[CA Hibby]

As free agents, I thought they could?

Only if they are free agents when the transfer window closed, otherwise they would need to wait until Jan 1st

[Part/Time Supporter]

On the talk sport news earlier it said Vlad had promised to support them til the end of the season but i can't find anything to support that. Have i missed something?

I think that's an over-interpretation of what was in their share offer document. It stated that UBIG would continue to hold the debt and wouldn't call it in, which is a form of financial support. The relevant question at the moment is whether Romanov is going to provide any new finance to pay off the current debts.

He started pouring it into a bucket filling it with coinage then stuffing notes through another slot bucket. I was struggling not to greet in the queue.

Apparently the hearts fans met the board earlier, any news from this?


Who ? Has Chairman Roman Romanov been found, has Ms Goncaruk taken a break from the fashion houses of Milan, and of course the major project facilitator, Vasiliauskas, returned to put the finishing touches to the Mega-stand - Hilton Hotel by the Distillery.

It will be Fedatoadus and Southern, a couple of Vlad puppets.

Anyway I hope Vlad's statement tomorrow is heavy with references to monkeys, mafia, Tax people killing him and how corrupt this country is.:greengrin

The only news so far seems to be that the people attending are too important to tell the other Hearts fans what's going on. The blazers and badges brigade were out in force.

[WhileTheChief..]

It's not all bad news for them, this time next year they can have 2 Remembrance Days.

[monktonharp]

No news yet? I usually enjoy this thread every month. I suppose the SPL money must have got them over the line this month. Never mind. It's only a matter of time.amazing what a difference 3 weeks can make , eh mate:turnevil:

Hibs should be monitoring this situation to appeal to the SFA that Hearts need to be stripped of their recent cup win, as subsequent events have shown they could not AT THAT TIME afford the team they played in the Semi and the Final.

Or as it is also known, Cheating.

Tonight there was a meeting between Serge and supporters group. This posted on Facebook from someone that was there :


Tax bill getting paid mate. We need to raise 2 million by end of season then we will be where we want to be and Vlad will sell us. Vlad wont put us out of business, HMRC will if we dont pay bills. Vlad wants us to run ourselfs then he will look to sell.They were confident that the bill would be paid but they need fans through the gates.

Appears that this is not the end.....OR? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Romanov as usual will bail them out ffs

[Pete]

From Brokeback.


Was in the queue for shares bout 4.10pm today when a wee older woman came in (Granny I think) with a wee lad behind her 8-10 years. She tells the boy behind the counter that the lad had his "life savings" in the box he was carrying and he wanted it to help save Hearts.
He started pouring it into a bucket filling it with coinage then stuffing notes through another slot bucket. I was struggling not to greet in the queue.
Never seen anything like it, what a lad!

What a choob!

I read that and I actually found it quite heartwarming....until I read what he was wearing: a white top with something about Gowzer hating Hibs.

This is what the Romanov era has produced and I hope that wee boys money is totally wasted and he realises how stupid he was when he sees his club go down the pan.

Arrogant, obsessed and completely devoid of any class from top to bottom.

Even if Hearts manage to survive until next summer, the SPL are bound to investigate them regarding dual contracts. Apparently, they've been at it for years.

Really wish Black had still been there...


Someone mentioned that to me the other day about the players buying shares in the club.

1. Are current players allowed to buy shares in the club that they play for.

2. If so will they have to sell them in January if they move to another club, are you allowed to hold shares in a club if you have signed for another club.?

Just asking if any one knows the answers to this. :aok:

Contributions to EBT's were legitimate. It was the way that RFC ran their scheme that got them into difficulties.

Double contracts, ie not disclosing all payments to players to the SPL, are not.

But that's my point. There is no reference to EBT's in their accounts. If they had been operating them, there should have been, just as there was in the Rangers' accounts. In turn, the auditors would have made reference to any omission.

(disclaimer... that's not to say that EBT's weren't operated. I just think it hightly unlikely).

[Caversham Green]

Is this the reason for the £1.7m HMRC claim?

That charge appears to be related to moving tax liabilities from the UK to Lithuania where the rates are lower. They appear to have done that by paying Hearts players through bogus loan deals with Kaunas.

Allegedly.

From a while ago. Not saying he's definitely implicated but there is at least some suspicion.

Got to be worth looking at more closely I would have thought.

[Stevie Reid]

Sorry if already mentioned, but it now seems to be apparent that Hearts weren't paying tax (as well as their wages) earlier this year when they were on their cup run and signing Craig Beattie - when the SFA gave their verdict on Rangers' tax evasion they said that the only thing more serious would have been them being found guilty of match fixing. Now that day in May will never change, it will always be an horrendous one for us and a memory that they'll always have, and I certainly wouldn't want any retrospective awarding of trophies, nor do I see much point in them having it taken off them - however, they are still guilty of the same crime now, so should they be allowed to defend a tainted trophy? The SFA considered a Scottish Cup ban for Rangers, I don't see how Hearts can be allowed in this year's competition really.

That doesn't say EBTs were operated at Hearts. It talks about half the wages being paid from Lithuania, which was confirmed in the Evening News a couple of weeks ago.
