I think as there were warrants issued for Vlads arrest, it's probably underway to some extent. I should imagine that police will be trying to get other parties to cooperate in his absence. I should imagine that other parties are being advised by their lawyers not to cooperate. From there the police will be trying to gather further evidence against them.
This is all supposition but my sense of it is that this will proceed far slower than the timeframe required by Hearts.
I think you're probably right that 4-6 weeks is more likely the time Hearts have left to close the deal or they are gone.
The smell of undercover Yammery is about....
Debate is good, agreed. Saying that there isn't any evidence they could liquidate doesn't have the makings of a very good debate though. They are in Administration after all, and their admins are telling everyone there's a finite amount of money left. There's a clue that they might right there.
FoH Question.
I never venture on to their site so not sure if it's answered there. What are their plans for a board?
I can imagine the KB crew of the boy craigie, .lawson, the Attenboroughs and co champing at the bit to oversee corporate governance.
They are alleged to be ready to roll but who will be running the show - if, indeed, it ever comes to pass?
I think I've quoted the wrong post here, but I believe you previously said there was no evidence of them being at risk of liquidation. I counter you by suggesting the evidence is staring you in the face. They are currently subject to an insolvency event (admin). That's all the evidence you need that they're in danger of going into liquidation.
Take it from me, having worked in the insolvency profession for 12 years, I saw many an admin in that time and only ever witnessed 1 cva. They don't happen often and the vast vast majority of admins end in a newco with subsequent liquidation. Look what happened to the currant buns for evidence of that scenario.
For me the only good thing to come of this is that they won't or shouldn't be able to spend thousands and thousands per week they don't have on players wages.
ST money etc will be it (plus prize money) will be what they will have to work with.
Still would prefer them deid.
Just to add to this, The administrators are duty-bound to maintain the club as a going concern, if they can't do that they will have no choice but to liquidate. Using next year's income to finance this year's operations is strong evidence that they are not a going concern.
The money from season tickets sold last year has lasted this far, but by their own admission it is now running out. If that happens before they can exit administration BDO's options are very limited.
Other guys have replied to other posts you've raised but you have to realise that BDO aren't keeping them afloat on what they raised in ST sales alone. There is still a dependency on other income - mainly walk ups - to see them through. They've got a bonus with the semi but the walk up numbers haven't been great. This will all put a strain on BDO steering them successfully through admin. Can you still not see that liquidation is a real possibility?
Does anyone know by what date they need to be out of admin to avoid another points deduction next season?
