Completely agree wish the cup tie was in January now instead of 3 weeks as they will have a stronger squad at that stageQuote:

It could actually be as big a humiliation as we got in the Cup final. Lets just enjoy them squirming and concentrate on ourselves.
I would rather that we went through rather than some other team if they default. The way it is going is that they are likely to have a stronger squad in 3 weeks rather than in January where they may need to offload some of their better players giving us a better chance.Quote:

A stronger squad to chose from means they have a better chance than they probably should have due to their financial mess.Quote:

If they bring that same midfield then we'll absolutely pump them.
Reading some comments on the scotsman articles the jambos think they are in the clear, I which is good because they will be back to square 1 in a couple of weeks.
Anyone know when the wages are deferred to?
It's the accountancy tactic of Duff and Phelps and Charles Green. When you are buying it it's only worth £5m but once you've bought it it's worth £140 m.Quote:

What's Lithuanian for "Aye awright then!"
Agreed, even their own website was warning them yesterday while announcing the HMRC deal that they have to keep raising funds at the same rate because the bills have just been deferred and they still have the same funding gap.Quote:

Ryan Stevenson's missus is really gonnae love to hear this, ken how I walked out on them the last time they wouldn't pay me sweetheart, well they've done it again and this time I agreed tae it, absolute welter. :hilarious
You missed out taking on any liabilities, ie. they want Vlad to give them Herts and Tiny but agree to pay anything arising from HMRC's £1.79M assessment + interest + pens.Quote:

The fans have just dug deep into their pockets to try and save the club and will be more wary once they see the cash disappearing to Lithuania.
When does the share issue close? I'd be amazed if they raise £500k, let alone £1.79m.

I am sure the first response will be is that it is confidential, but there are appeals and the media to out any cosy deals. :agree:
Which will probably result in the share applications slowing down and less money for the next stage of tax/NI/wages. :wink:Quote:

I've tweeted Barry Anderson at the EEN to ask the same questions. He usually replies to me when I moan at him.Quote:

What's not to trust??Quote:

Hmmmm interesting.... I wonder if some of that "pain" the bank is dishing out will head the Yams way??

It's a cop out if ever there was, but apparently a successful one in the meantime.

What a farce, so we'll have nae mair late wages and nae points deductions as punishment, instead we'll have wage deferrals and teams continuing tae cheat by fielding players they cannae afford tae pay. SPL joke organisation. :bitchy:Quote:

If their players have agreed to a deferral then how long do they get to actually pay November's wages before the authorities do punish them? A week? A month? 3 months? :confused:
The fact is, they clearly cannot afford to pay the players that they are playing every week at the moment and are potentially picking up points against teams who are keeping within the rule book and paying what they can afford and yet they are possibly losing out on the football pitch whenever they come up against Hearts.
That is unfair and it is cheating.
It's called trading while insolvent and it's also illegal.
They should not be allowed to take part in any SFA sanctioned matches whilst this situation continues.
