Simply ask the mugs to raid their bairns piggy banks and donate it to Vlads retirement fund, errr I mean invest in youth system, errr I mean pay the taxman knowing fine well that many of the brain-dead believers will immediately grab the claw hammers and smash the piggy banks without question whilst other Jambo factions who have a precious brain cell or two to rub between them slowly begin to suspect that the whole thing is a mighty con. Before you know it Gary Mackay is offering to sell off his impressive collection of retro Satellite dishes and begging the deluded fools to donate to his amazing Jambo saving campaign without really knowing how he is going to save the Jambos! Then we have these mysterious "Consortiums of wealthy local business men" who periodically appear with "offers" to buy the club from mad Vlad however these "offers" from "great business minds" amount to nothing more than them going to Vlad and saying "can you please get your bank to write of £25m and give us Tynecastle (still worth a few million even in today's climate) for free aswell please?" Vlad then says "No" and these consortiums slither off back to the whisky society or posh twats club patting themselves on the back for trying to save Hearts!
Any other group of fans (with the exception of the Zombie Huns possibly) would have rallied together years ago to stop this scenario from occurring in the first place and would happily accept their club living within their means and having a secure future. Such is the deluded nature of the pink savilles they have been so obsessed with their self proclaimed "big team" status and they have chosen to ignore 3 owners in a row massively overspending in search of the Big Team dream. They also chose to ignore the fact that they gave up any small amount of dignity and integrity that they ever had in the process. The biggest joke is that Hearts fans still talk about losing their club when anyone could see that they lost what was left of their shabby wee joke of a club years ago, replaced by an undignified, cheating, organisation that happily employed registered sex offenders when no-one else would.
Now eventually, as we all warned them the end is now near and there appears to be no way out for them. Many will presume that another Romanov will appear and rescue them from oblivion because they are a big team that won a few wars etc. however this time it appears that their luck is finally running out. And with pathetic, slavering idiots like the obscene George Foulkes, Gary Mackay etc. leading Save the Jambos campaigns they have no chance - these are the same eejits who led the deluded Jambos to Mr Romanov a few years ago and have no idea what they're doing.
The best option for Jambos now would be to unite and from a newco, share with Livi of somewhere similar, take their medicine and try to begin to build a new club from scratch - that will not happen because Jambos believe that they have a divine right to be a big team and would rather let their team die without a trace than admit that they are just a wee diddy team like the rest of us!
What great entertainment it is!
Aye right enough he must be a fair age by now and probably retired a while back.Quote:

As I predicted they have squirmed their way out of this for the time being but I can't help thinking someone somewhere will be giving them backhanders to pay the tax, wouldn't surprise me in the least as they are cheats end off
Disappointing news..
And we get to wave bye bye to them after turfing them oot the Scottish Cup same day, should be a historic day. :not worthQuote:

I don't think the payment plan will help them too much. They wont have £450k on Thursday and they won't have it next month. I'm surprised at this unless of course they've been able to prove, or at least show some chance that they will be able to pay this debt over the period agreed, plus all other taxes in that timeframe. Isn't part of HMRC taking action like this is to prevent the business from racking up more debt, not just failing to pay what they owe?
In any case, this tax bill, the tax case, wages and other bills / costs are far too much for them. The Sword of Damocles is inching ever closer...
Aye - based just up the road fae me in Carnoostie. I last spoke to him a few years back and he was convinced the Yams woukd be relegated sometime soon...Quote:

I was actually making reference to one of their supporters' "they died that day" quote! Here's to hopefully knocking them out but as I've said before, the fact that they're being allowed to defend a trophy they cheated to win when they're still cheating in the same way, is outrageous.Quote:

How much of an extension have they been given?
Also, SSN are reporting it as an extension rather than a payment plan. So along with the deferred wages on Friday they are just pushing their debts further down the road.
It's been split into 2 payments, the second one due on 3rd December.Quote:

Strictly speaking it should be, but I suspect it won't be.Quote:

Very disappointed. Wormed their way out again.
