Their delusion about them suddenly being debt free once the Foundation of Idiots get handed the keys to Tynie must have taken a bit of a battering after todays press release from said idiots. Not to mention their 'fan ownership' plan might have to wait a while until Budgie decides to vacate the Chairmans office.Quote:

If she isn't buying the club, why is she effectively running it for 3 years?
Certainly sounds like it'll be her club till the Foundation pay her off?
She's protecting her investment. Given the recent history, it makes sense to have a major input in how the club is run.Quote:

Who owns Bidco? It appears that they buy the club initially? Only director is Ann Budge?
They're not buying the club. FOH are.Quote:

@The_FoH: [BIDCO]: BIDCO can and must ONLY sell to #FOH with a binding contract in place. This will take 3-5 years.Quote:

I'm confused as usual. :-)
Actually, that has confused me now. It's at odds with yesterday' s press release and the previous statements.Quote:

God they are tiresome. I really couldn't care less what they get up to. I just wish it would stop eating media and football time, energy and coverage. Go bust, don't go bust - whatever, just get on with it.
The quicker they move to a stable new position the better because it is very clear that at that point they are going to have to deal with the reality of consistently living within their means for the first time in decades. And the bonus is that Banderson's guff should run its course pretty quickly after that.
Its not at odds with the FOH statement in my opinion. BIDCO owned & run exclusively by Budge buy the club. Only when the conditions of yesterdays FOH statement are met can BIDCO & FOH then enter negotiations to transfer the club. There is time constraints on this happening (3-5 years). All in the statement.Quote:

Does any else see the following scenario unfolding:-
HOMFC are relegated but exit administration and start 2014/15 in the first division. Failing to learn lessons of the past, they over-spend whilst mounting a first division title challenge and compete with The Rangers (who are also spending at riddiculous levels to get out the 1st div, even more so as they are bricking it about finishing second to HOMFC) for the title. They and Rangers return to the Premier League for season 2015/16. They both spend the next season spending way outwith their means trying to give it the big I am in the top league. Eventually, maybe after a few seasons, both run into some sort of financial trouble again.
I just think the arrogant attitudes and delusions of grandeur that people associated with these two clubs will get the better of them. I don't think building things back up quietly, slowly but surely and most importantly for each clubs, sustainably, exists in their vocabularlies.
Bidco Ltd ?
They might need a different name. There already is a Bidco Limited registered with Companies House. Incorporated in 2011 (SC404654) , registered at Woodend Farm, Duns.
It is a Dormant Company, may'be a FoH sleeper. :confused:
Bidco is code name. Its what all the big clubs do. For example, Sevco call themselves Rangers in an attempt to fool us. :-)
On a serious note, what's to stop Bidco having a pile of caveats to allow them to get out of selling to FOH? If it was me I would certainly cover myself. I would also do due diligence before handing over my cash.
interesting wee snippet on FFOH twitter :
BIDCO will acquire 79% shareholding of HMFC
who owns the other 21 % - is Vlad's niece still holding shares ?
The Company is BIDCO (1874) Ltd.Quote:

I'd say a 2nd relegation or championship mediocrity is more likely than SPFL then bust.Quote:

No chance of that happening as neither club has a line of credit.Quote:

If FoH are now stating they wil gain control of only 79% of the shares, that means Vlad will still own, directly or indirectly, part of their club :greengrin

So should we start calling them bidco? Like we call the rangers sevco?
Good post. I'm fed up with all the coverage too!Quote:

We dont need revenge for that.they cheated. Relegating them would do though.
No, its still perfectly acceptable to call them tax payer and charity robbing c***s.Quote:
