Thats the sad thing......the SPL & the SFA are basicly encouraging cheating. They know about Rangers for years, the same goes for Hearts, but do nothing, yet they were quick to act on Livingston/Gretna/Dundee.

What I meant is they will try and recoup as much as they can for players that they themselves think will get most money - McGowan is off in January regardless I am hearing. Webster, with the CV he has, will find a club and attract a modest fee - Zaliukas likewise, a modest fee.
Hearts won't command a great deal in transfers but it will get six figures in and reduce the wage bill. I do however think they'll face 'Obua like' scenarios where certain players may decide to plant their feet and take a chance in seeing out contracts.
Hearts have got a couple of really decent young lads in their ranks and I hope Hibs are keeping an eye on that too - some of these lads might face the axe and there are two or three that I think have real promise.
wonder if the first minister had a word with the taxman,he did hint last week
How long are the big earners contracted for?
Forget the cayman islands........Scottish football the new tax haven :agree:
The 5-1 and wee team text messages have started again.
They just won't learn will they?
And yet none of them ask why Vlad hasn't paid any of the bill or even bothered to turn up!
I think the majority of their current first team squad is only contracted till the end of the season. So they will get no transfer fees for them and will be lucky to offload them in January because most teams will just wait until summer to get them for free.
Surprise surprise. Itll never happen. They always squirm out of it.
Hearts aren't exactly in the best bargaining position *** January - any club interested in their top players hold all the aces - most are out of contract soon, they are desperate for money, not many clubs in January are flush and unless there is a burning desire to get a player they'll hold off or get a pre-contract signed.
They'll survive though.
Meanwhile, Edinburgh South MP Ian Murray is thought to have made headway in behind-the-scenes talks with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which is pursuing Hearts for the £450,000 unpaid tax bill, in a bid to give new momentum to discussions.
He said: “I have been speaking to the Treasury and senior officials at HMRC to try to get a constructive dialogue going between the club and tax authority.
“I’m confident now that those discussions are open and the club is in a better position today than it was last week.”
On Saturday, the News reported how club director Sergejus Fedotovas warned that Hearts fans would have to generate around £10,000 of revenue every day this season to survive its funding crisis :fenlon
Apologies if this has been posted before, but isn't this '3,2,Wonga' thing and its 'cash dash' just a bit cringeworthy given their current status?

They'll be totally uncompetitive and carrying a huge debt that they will have to start paying meaningful interest on in July 2013.
Hearts are in no position to demand transfers of any size for any of their high earners. They need shot of them as soon as the Transfer window opens.
It might not be worth worrying about, but the bookies see the bloodyturds as a better bet to win the scottish than we do. If the bookies are right, we're at SIGNIFICANT risk of going out to the cheating bloodyturds. Is it more important to Hibs to play this match than to challenge the bloodyturds' right to even PLAY in it, given they're insolvent?

Some questions...
Bearing in mind your are a representative of the people Mr Murray, have you been even-handed in your attempts to maximise the public purse's position?
Have you received re-assurances from HMFC that all taxes, PAYE, NIC, VAT etc due to fund hospitals and schools etc are paid in full?
Who have you spoken with at HMFC?
What promises have they made to you?
If you have NOT spoken to HMFC, why not?
If you have not spoken with a Director level individual at HMFC, why are you taking it upon yourself to negotiate with the collector of taxes?
Answer on a postage stamp please....
When we beat them on the 2nd he'll probably not pay out on the 3rd. Think he's just hanging on for this game.
It would be lovely if Vlad would show up for this one
