The sobering fact is that we've had our best season in living memory, beyond anything the Famous Five or the 7-0 or 6-2 teams could have dreamed off, and we're still only only TWO measly points of the biggest club in the world who are having financial/operational issues, bur with their 400,000 fanbase will easily resolve them. They cast such a BIG shadow over us. I'm so depressed.
Yet why do my sides ache every time I go on this thread?
In terms of Hearts, which is mainly what we're all thinking about, I am guessing the latter. The Lith authorities will have higher priorities.
The best I think we can expect is that UKIO's administration will be confirmed, and (perhaps) UBIG will be put into the "bad debt" bag. The problem with that is that (AFAIK) UBIG still have no Board, so there is no-one there to push their insolvency button. It may be left to UKIO's administrator to take that action, and that could take a while.
Will the court session be sorted in 1 hearing or could it drag with appel,If the mad 1 has the cash ?
Yam poster called PTBCAL who has a reputation for being ITK, apparently, just posted that administration is imminent, although he seems unsure as to who is entering administration although it is presumed to be Hearts. If accurate it probably means that the ST money is, as others suspect, already gone
Lets all cross our fingers.
Apologies. It's administrators in Lithuania that have been appt - cue deserved flak for ME!!!
What does this mean from PTBCAL?

Along with their "shares" - that would be hilarious. A couple of Jambo acquaintances have already bought theirs and in truth I'd feel (a bit*) sorry for them but then again one of them has acted like billy big baws for years, especially after they financially doped their way to beating us last year.
*teensy
Still can't understand why this thread hasn't been renamed Jambogeddon.
Shaun William Ryder ...
"Guess we just have to wait and see, and be ready to mobilise, when needed. We will all have a part to play before the end."
:faf:
How could they possibly be going into Admin?
Every Jambo is telling us they are self sufficient!
They're that self sufficient they have already *****ed the money from the last 2 Cup Finals, next seasons season ticket money, recent share issue, cake bake and face painting cash!!
That sounds like self sufficient right enough .
Shaun Ryder is twisting my melon man
Asda have twelve packs of Brothers Toffee Apple or 7% festival pear cider on sale for seven quid.
I have a load of the stuff in the fridge ready to crack open.
Assuming Dundee lose their next game and that lot get a point from their next game, that could mean we have two opportunities to relegate that lot. Then win the Scottish cup.
Relegate Hearts, win the Scottish Cup.
I've just seen my pal posting on their site, he seems quite worried, now that its going to effect someone close to me i feel really bad for them
hahahahahahahahahahaha GIRUY
Don't know any figure but I do know a hearts shareholder (a proper one, not a guy who handed over the bairns crimbo fund) who has not renewed. Reason being he has been told to 'wait and see what happens'. he was told this from someone he fully trusts within the club. His words not mine :wink: oh and he told me this about 4-5 weeks ago.
Might be a daft question, but I'll ask anyway. There's been a lot of chat about what affect it would have in terms of point deduction in relation to when (not if) they go into admin.
Point deductions and timing aside, how goosed would they be in terms of the team they could put on the park? Would it be a case of all players being put up for sale/released? (If, hypothetically, they weren't liquidated.)
It's not a daft question.
In reality, if they go into administration (as opposed to liquidation), it will probably be a very short one, and liquidation would follow.
However, in the hypothetical situation that administration lasts any length of time,.... the administrator would strike a balance between selling off those players that could get some money in, whilst retaining a core squad that would be attractive to a new owner. The Rangers' administrators favoured the latter, but they were in a different (and relatively healthier) situation.
:faf: shame for them they didnae mobilise a few years ago instead of bending over, sticking their heids in the sand and being rogered by Vlad.

Good point... Bottom line the blue nose route isn't open to them, it's going to be more like Dunfermline... They off loaded 7 players as soon as they went into admin? ....... To be fair that's the BEST they can hope for, pretty sure CWG and CG etc are on the money when they're saying everything points to a quick road into liquidation as soon as the admin door opens.
Probably got it framed and still has it hanging on the wall, fud. :agree:

Looks like the big issues are: 1) will they be able to stagger on to the end of the season, and 2) will they be able to play in any competition at any level, next season?
I'd settle for a 1) yes and 2) no, though a double no would also be acceptable.

The article kicks off stating this court case won't affect Hearts but then the article goes onto state how the situation is cloudy, this might give an insight into how they will treat foreign debt and basically how they have no idea how this court case will affect Hearts.
Desperation or what, it's like he's trying to convince himself that hearts won't be affected by the court case, as the reality is that he doesnae have a clue.
Allisbarry!!
This guy Murray has not got a clue and he is an MP !
One example.
" The £15 million that Hearts owe to Ukio ( Bankas ) , the Bank in turn owes this money to UBIG. :confused:
Its late, but if my brain is still working it is UBIG that owes a sh*tload of dosh to the Bank.
Every angle of the reporting from that organ is designed to calm the nerves of the jamboroids, piles of pressure on The Scotsman to keep them from slitting their wrists.
Won't affect Hearts.
Nothing to worry about.
Self-sufficient now.
Why would they shut down little old us.
Bag of sh***
Nobody in Lithland batted an eyelid when Vlad closed down Kaunas F C and they had a bit of Champions League exposure.
And another...Lithuania actually takes over the Presidency of the Council of Ministers of the European Union in July and not "in October"...not that it is relevant anyway as the Bank of Lithuania is independent of the Lithuanian Government.
And to think our taxes pay this guy's salary...and allowances !
...whereas us peg selling hobos only had a knighted captain of industry to turn to in our hour of need.
So they wont go under for political reasons?
And its best for Lithuanians to wait for 10p in the pound bid from a fans group then follow through on insolvency procedures?
And this approach will only happen for Hearts where as the rest of the UKIO debt will be called in through liquidation (I.e Hearts will be ring fenced and treated as a special case)?
Is that about the sum of it?
Me? I'm convinced.
So this genius mp reckons nobody else will offer more than 2million for hearts assets so best to take the foundations offer. I hope no hibees vote for this plum of a man as he is clearly a bit dim

“It has been disgusting,” he says. “I go back to the Italians, and the money they spent – how the hell could they afford what they were doing on the back of crowds of 5,600? Well, the answer is they could not afford it.
“It’s a bit like Hearts’ cup final when they beat Hibs, and they had boys on eight or ten grand, they could not afford that. Is that them cheating to win a cup final?
“Look at the state they are in, they could be going into administration themselves. The responsibility is on the owners for the management of the clubs, whether that’s Dunfermline or, in the past, Dundee, or what’s happened at Rangers, too.”
Where did this £15M to UKIO come from? Thought almost all their debt was to UBIG?
I'm still a little bit shocked that a member of parliament has come out and backed a football club to be able to walk away from it's debts, does this mean he is saying it's ok for businesses to tade in such a manner. I wonder if this is labour policy now:hmmm:
Maybe we should ask his party.
BBCBMcLauchlin@BBCBMcLauchlin1mHearts owe Ukio Bankas around £15 million. Debt likely to be recalled if bankruptcy approved #bbcsportscot
What time is the decision? I have to go to a meeting and would hate to miss the fun and games.
Got tickets for the derby next week. Wonder who the money will go too, Oldco, Newco, or Noco!!!!
months after a more detailed assessment, in which case the
liabilities of the parties to the contract will also be revised,
the central bank said.
Bankruptcy proceedings are planned to recover remaining
assets of Ukio, including property in Scotland and elsewhere,
for creditors, among whom the deposit-insurance fund will be the
largest, according to the Bank of Lithuania.
The EBRD owns 19.6 percent of Siauliu, which after Ukio’s
collapse is Lithuania’s only publicly traded bank. Siauliu
shares rose 10 percent to 0.267 euro in Vilnius on Feb. 13, when
the lender announced plans to negotiate for Ukio’s assets, and
closed at that same level on Feb. 22.

Could this be where the Administration rumours have come from this time?
Hearts know it's out of their hands and so they have put the pieces in place so that if the news in Lithuania doesn't go their way they can pull the trigger themselves in an attempt to gain some protection? It would certainly explain why there is apparently an administrator already lined up and why they have statements saying #AllIsBarry so they can cover all the options.
This is a report from end February. The temporary administrator has carried out a thorough analysis of the assets and liabilities. They know exactly what they can and can’t recover. Loans to Hearts and UBIG (Romanov) have been classified as “bad” and part of the gap in £300 million gap in assets and liabilities. The Lithuanian state has filled the hole by issuing debt to the bank taking over the good assets and with the proceeds given a loan to the State insurance company who made good the £300 million hole. They will now attempt to recover as much of value of these assets as possible by selling them. I think they have already had discussions with Hearts who know what is coming – hence their talks with the council and having Tynecastle valued and administration to buy time.
is this it? is today the day? It seams like all the stars have alligned and somewhere in Lith there is a man with his finger on the trigger, I have high hopes that today will be a bad bad day for our pink chums
I think I'll just assume everything is still fine as I don't understand any of the above.
If it works for the yams, then it works for me :ostrich:
Yup, the Lithuanian court can't order HMFC into administration, but they can start a chain of events which would lead to that.
ie if the Lithuanian court declares Ukio bankrupt, that gives the Lithuanian Govt authority to demand their money back. HMFC (or some other third party, such as FOH) has to make an offer to them in repayment.
If they can't make a satisfactory offer, then HMFC has to apply for administration to protect itself from the Lithuanian demand. Administration would also give them more time for a third party offer to come forward.
Are they dead yet !? Are they dead yet !? Are they dead yet !? Are they dead yet !?!!
