Am I the only one who thinks that the 'frozen shares' is a great big red herring? UBIG's assets were frozen when the state initiated bankruptcy proceedings against UBIG - presumably to make sure no one ran off with the assets before an adminstrator was appointed?
So I would have thought that once the state appointed admin had the assets under his control he could dispose of what he wants in an orderly fashion to benefit the creditors. What would be the point of the shares remaining frozen?
The trouble with going on about the assets being frozen is that we've become greedy - wanting them to go pop entirely instead of savouring the moment and focusing on the real harsh reality for them. I.e. that there is no 'post admin debt free' Hearts anytime soon. Not only do they have to pay back the CVA and fund working capital for years, they also need to take on debt (if anyone will lend to them) to rebuild that deathtrap main stand. Remember that our debt, that they say will kill us, was taken on to build a stand - and we've paid a big chunk of that already.
Why don't we just noise them up about the stuff that there's no ifs, buts and maybes about instead of letting them get all excited about proving us wrong by coming out of admin?
Fair question. One that the MSM could answer with one phone call. While they're at it, they could also ask what the difference is with the Portsmouth case.Quote:

In a parallel universe you may well be right, problem is that the one big fact in all of this remains that the shares that are needed for the biggest heist in many years were legally frozen and they do remain so.We didn't make that part up and the yam don't seem to want to address it, it's coming though.Quote:

Throughout all of our improvements to the ground and facilities we have paid our bills, no admins, no court actions for payments, and we have set up rather than stolen from a few charities along the way.
No yet it's no.... maybe this time tomorrow though. :greengrinQuote:

Given that no-one in the media has had the wit to ask the question, all we can do is rely on precedent.Quote:

The only way us punters can know is through their Annual Return at Companies House. That was due last September. :rolleyes:Quote:

Mind you they never had independent ian acting for them.:wink:
There's ample examples in this thread of us having our fun whilst keeping an eye on the main issue as well. Enjoy.
Bottom line (in Pompey case) was that the shares weren't frozen in a civil court at the request of the administrator or for reasons relating to the administration.Quote:

Their hordes of fans are going to have to be digging in their pockets for maybe the next five years to watch their "big" club struggle along in the backwaters of football, known as the lower divisions in Scotland. How long will they keep paying when the garden isn't coming up roses? Not for five years I'll wager.
Also, if you want to see how desperate these muppets really are, there are people on brokeback actually trying to accuse Hibs of professionalism, from a newspaper dated .....wait for it......1887 when Vale of Leithen put in an unsuccessful complaint. The fact that the paper they posted on their site tells that Hibs were not found guilty doesn't matter - they don't read it for themselves 'cause some other roaster told them it was so. Jesus wept..........
Last thing we need is frozen shares to rip the posh out of that lot.
It's a fair point. I admit I'm greedy. :-)Quote:

So, if frozen shares do tip them over the edge it'll be a nice wee brucie bonus. If not, I'm plenty looking forward to 5-10 years of misery for them. And a pie...
It's the Lithuanian court order freezing the HOMFC shares held by UBIG/UKIOS, the ones BDO recognise they will need to get the courts to "unfreeze" to avoid liquidating them.Quote:

All true, assuming that the bit in bold is the Save Hearts In Trouble plan and not that of the Lithuanian courts.Quote:
