Need to remember there's a lot of personal positioning going on here. BDO, BJ, Foulkes, the press, politicians, Budge etc ALL have to appear to be doing what they can to save the Yams. If they go to the wall and BDO, Foulkes, etc have not been seen to make every effort to save them, they risk personal abuse and retribution from the raging hordes in Gorgie for years to come.Quote:

The whole saga has been predictable. Bad news must be followed immediately by 'promising news' or 'hope on the horizon'.Quote:

Yeah please, a big [V]lad did it, then ran away.Quote:

Stay off the whisky George there's a good chap.

If true this is disgraceful and well beyond what is reasonable. It is clear that certain politicians will go to any lengths to try and save a disgraced bankrupt institution.
Not just charities - the UK taxpayer is over £2 million out of the pocket due to the tax-dodging activities of HMFC. Not to mention the unpaid Council tax, police fees, rent to taxpayer-funded Heriot-Watt. The list goes on.Quote:

Presumably, though, His Excellency will be politely told that things have to be done according to the rule of law, something a certain football club thinks doesn't apply to it.
Do you not think the Lithuanian Ambassador has enough on his plate with Crimea, Ukraine and UN sanctions against Russia ?Quote:

He'll be humouring the diddery old pretend toff drunk !
The days where the 'little tin pot countries' tremble in fear at pressure from the mighty UK ambassador are long gone I fear.
Someone should ask him if today, rather than attacking tax havens, does he use them?Quote:

Typical yam response... "can't wait to be debt free and fan owned"
No your not going to be DEBT FREE if you come through this - you have taken on another debt and will be still paying others back.
You won't be fan owned either - Budgie will be in control and that is far from fan ownership!
:rolleyes:
Chaps and chapesses, there isn't a PM doing the rounds, it was just a joke :wink:
Have a good friend organising a charity event shortly - emailed both Hibs and Hearts for possibly some tickets for games for the raffle...
Hibs email back yes -we can offer up to 8
Hearts - sorry we can't offer tickets ....we can offer you a signed shirt or ball...for 25 quid :faf::shocked:
BIG TEAM - more like TIGHT TEAM!
The club with no shame!
Can you errrr let me in on the errr joke too please? :wink:Quote:

Don't mock, that's £1 a signature. Could be a powerful new fundraising initiative if planned in the right way.Quote:

The folk that lost their jobs the charities that were shafted over must be raging at all this. Were was the begging then? When real people earning a living and charities depending on money needed it? They were cut off and told "see ya."
Heart of Midlothian have became the laughing stock of football. The lowest of the low so to speak, hated by almost every club in Scotland with their bullying ways. Well it's game over, you are DYING, and I'll be just one of many happy Hibees when they do. Every hearts fan should be ashamed of that club, but just like the club itself they too have an attitude problem.
Fortunately I'm nowhere near Twitter so crack on if you have an account - I seem to recall years ago he was pretty much ostracised from Islands that were known tax havens due his political verbal assault on them.Quote:

Great stuff CWG. Everyone should read this blog. Just Ask!Quote:

He reckons the liths have now cottoned on to what's happening in terms of getting ripped off and are doing something about it. He believes the "lack of technical detail" is BDO not providing the proof that this is the best deal for the Lithuanian creditors. They want independent valuations and proof the club was advertised for sale correctly. Remember FOH wasn't the highest offer BDO gave a set date for providing proof of funding that turned out to be irrelevant. BDO's desire to get this done and dusted quickly has meant they've been wasting time since November. He reckons the liths think BDO should have been doing more to get more money rather than just taking the first offer. He says it's clear to him BDO have been caught up in the romance and ended working for Hearts rather than the creditors.
A few other notable things from the discussion:
BDO have asked them to be prepared to "go back to the well" to keep them afloat.
BDO's fees aren't up to date yet.
Staff are worried their jobs will go even if they do survive as it's been made clear Budge wants to cut cloth. She's not interested in football success, she just wants to keep the club afloat.
Prize Money will be used to pay the footballing debt first so that's not going to save them.
Quality blog CWGQuote:
