Maybe it's opportune to inform our green brethren that they are subbing a mob of tax cheating, charity thieving paedos.
Vladimir Romanov, international man of mystery.

FORMER Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov has vanished, according to the Lithuanian Government, who admit they don’t have a clue where he is. A warrant has been issued for the ex-Tynecastle chief to return to his country to face prosecution from Lithuanian authorities for non-payment of debts when his Ukio Bankas went bust, for which could serve seven years in prison if found guilty.
However, the man who was once the most controversial figure in Scottish football appears to have disappeared entirely. He was last seen in Russia, where he was reportedly receiving treatment in a Moscow hospital for a stroke, and was then pictured sunning himself on a Russian beach – a photo which caused outrage in Lithuania.
Now Lithuanian authorities have admitted there is no point asking their Russian counterparts to deport him because they don’t know whether he is still in the country. A spokesman for Lithuania’s General Prosecutor admitted: “Romanov’s presence in Russia has not been confirmed by any official document. “So we cannot provide a legal reason to go to this country and ask for international legal assistance. We continue to carry out all legal avenues to bring Mr Romanov to face the public prosecutor.”
Matters have been complicated further because the Russians have refused to even confirm whether Romanov was ever in the vast country. Visa rules state that a foreign citizen must not spend more than three months in Russia, but it is now five months since Romanov was reportedly receiving treatment in Moscow. The Russian Embassy in Lithuania has refused to respond to local media’s requests for confirmation he has left Russia. And Lithuanian authorities have been led to believe that the 66-year-old has fled Europe. Romanov, the chairman of Ubig Investments, which holds a majority shareholding in Lithuanian bank Ukio Bankas, took control of Hearts in 2005.
Stay safe sweet prince

Scotsman :confused: Still can't get the facts right.
1. Vlad chairman of UBIG ..... All UBIG directors resigned 6 months ago.
2. UBIG the majority shareholder in Ukio Bankas :confused: ...... Vlad held the Bank shares personally.
Whats the chances Romanov is holed up in a flat in Wester hailes?
"Visa rules state that a foreign citizen must not spend more than three months in Russia, but it is now five months since Romanov was reportedly receiving treatment in Moscow."
Is the sweet prince of darkness not Russian or have dual citizenship for Russia and Lithuania? Wouldn't have thought he would need a visa - probably a (share issue) cash only person these days anyway.
I'll keep an eye out for him here. This country has previous in terms of being a destination for wanted international criminals..,
The yam bams have a cunning plan:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/scottish/gossip/
Worth noting in this context that there is legislation now in England & Wales (but not Scotland) that allows for football grounds to be designated for that use only ("assets of community value"). "It means a community group... would have the first right to bid for the stadium if the owners ever tried to sell up."Quote:
Hearts supporters want the club's Tynecastle Stadium to be designated a listed building to prevent it being turned into flats as they fear Ukio Bankas, the club's main creditor, could refuse a fans' buyout and sell it to developers to recoup their debt.

And what happens when the Council builds the New Super Maga Yam Dome and the Hertz want to cash in their Tynecastle real estate value ?

'An insider said: “Anyone thinking of buying Tynecastle then demolishing it for flats or a supermarket might be put off if it becomes listed.”
Translation : 'It's now obvious that FOH's 'Pie-in-the-sky' plan is Donal-Ducked but we will do anything other than re-pay the money we stole - why can't the Lithuanians accept it's obviously far more important that we continue to play football rather than little-people's pensions/life-savings ??'
Pick the odd one out from these "Architecturally Interesting" Football Stands
Attachment 11188 Attachment 11189 Attachment 11190 Attachment 11187
well i think the asbestos arena main stand should indeed be listed, it gives us modern 21st century public a chance to see what football stadiums were like at the beginning of the last century before the first world war :agree:
Quite funny really. Desperate times and desperate measures and all that.
List the building ha ha it's not worth a ****. As someone posted earlier I think this is the reason they stuck the we won the war plaque on the wall of the building.
Tbh they still all think the Liths are going to roll over and say don't bother bout the money just take the ground for nowt as a gift.
Delusions if grandeur they make me laugh
