I am now completely confused, what are we waiting on for them to get the big L?
I want them to turn the machine off so I can get on and celebrate. if the shares are frozen surely BDO know this and will not fit with their time lines so pull the plug and get on with it.....
For UKIO to vote no on the CVA - NO meeting scheduledQuote:

Patience. Good things come to those who wait.
Thank you very much, in your opinion what time scale are we looking at?Quote:

My personal opinion is worth little - but due to the cash running out at the PBS, I would imagine by end of April / early May, we'll be finally at the end of this movie.Quote:

If there's no meeting and no real sign of that happening soon, then one would imagine the cash will indeed run out and BDO will close the curtains.
FOH have taken UBIG shares as a 100% done deal, there might be a spanner in the works still on that one to come.
If we want to run a book on this, I'll take 19.05 - big L

Hibs net has provided a lot of good info on the administration processes so far, which as time goes by, has been shown to be correct. Can any of our experts shed some light on the liquidation process as it appears to be becoming more certain as time progresses - death by a thousand delays. Some questions that spring to my mind:-
1. The last game of the Yams' season is 10 May and let's assume that the 2014/15 season starts on 9 August. That's 13 weeks by my reckoning. It's already been pointed out on this thread that the Sevco liquidation was built into the CVA which expedited that liquidation process. Any liquidation of the Yams will be more complex. Can any experts outline what the process would be and what would be a likely time scale. In particular could it be completed, including agreeing to re-enter league2, within 13 weeks?
2. What would be the situation with the PBS? How long would it take to secure a sale? Would the liquidator be able to let the Yams play on in the stadium or would it be locked pending a sale?
3. What are the likely implications for SPFL for organising the leagues?
I presume that these questions will have been fully discussed at PBS and SPFL and one would have expected that our respected friends in the media and our western neighbours would have asked these and even more searching questions of the powers that be.
Any knowledgeable response would be appreciated.

"This is where there need to be somebody at the SFA and indeed the SPFL, for a start because we want to go into Fans ownership, them evry help should be given to those clubs to follow suit,nothing has been done to assist the fans. and more so when it comes to foreign owners that majority share holdings should not be held by companies not registered in the UK. this will protect this sort of thing and delays putting the club at further risk, also its should stop foreign sugar daddies giving unfair advantage by financially doping a club where success is bought rather than gained."
You really have to wonder.
Update..He gets a little criticism but mainly for the "foreign" part and retorts
"You are all missing the point I am clumsily trying to make , if Vlad has set up a company in the UK, we would find it easier to get out of the mess with admins in two countries with 2 sets of working ethics. I am also thankful to Vlad but do we or the game in this country need another one???? What I am saying is, there should be a ban on the companies that own clubs should not be registered abroad."
There you have the average Yam in a nutshell. Nothing whatsoever with overspending or thievery. A legal technicality.
:faf: Come on own up, has to be wun ov us wot dun it? Well done on lasting so long undercover over thereQuote:

Nice to see that every indicator in the economy & property sector is on an upward trend in terms of demand and prices....
Hope that the Creditors in Lithuanian know that its a great time to own land / property in the Capital with such an improving picture :agree:
Time is ticking and SPFL,SFA,BDO,FOH and mrs Budge all have to be,by now examining worst case scenarios.its clear they cannot rumble on through the close season without financial donations.
It really is last chance saloon as far as the cva being rubber stamped.
The question of how easy it is to defrost the shares has never properly been approached by any of the above mentioned organisations.
The fact no UKIO creditors meeting has ever been confirmed past or present(remember the 30 day notice quotes?)
The complete black out of media/spin/begging bowl from BDO is unusual but speaks volumes.
There is now 30 days left til there last game of the season,I think all they can do now is make sure they get that far and then pull the plug.
What would happen next is up for debate:greengrin
They're going to require circa £400k to simply get to the seasons end with little or no income.Quote:

Its very apparent now the odds are heavily stacked in favoure of liquidation,surely even the most gullible yam must see that now.

You give them way way to much credit.Quote:

The impression the HMFC establishment crooks are giving potential foreign investors is not beneficial for economic recovery. Is Scotland really a place where hooligans and corrupt politicians can bully investors from obtaining a fair market price for their assets?Quote:

Would agree with you if it wasn't for the incredibly upbeat statements from FOH, Ian the MP and BDO. They could not have been more positive about the progress made on Monday (huge steps forward, half way their etc). If BIG L was looking likely, last Monday was the perfect opportunity/time to change the tone of the message.Quote:

Truth is they haven't got any shares so far, not one share has changed ownership from Lithuania to the FoH.
Next week they'll be the brink of finding out about news the could lead to a meeting that if, things go Hearts way, will be taking a huge step towards Hearts, maybe, getting hold of shares that would lead to FULL FAN OWNERSHIP - if the proposed meeting takes place and if the Lithuanians see sense and if it's rubber stamped and if there are no further delays and if the shares are passed over quickly and that's taking into account a 20 day cooling off period and ratification by the Lithuanian court.
In other words they are waffling whilst they tread water whilst trying to appear up-beat. Magicians (and con-men ) call it "misdirection".
George Orwell wouldn't have proposed people being so stupid as to actually believe such guff, but here we are.
I'm beginning to wonder if the BDO/FoH/BidCo strategy is to organise a meeting, any kind of meeting, with anyone connected with UKIO (or is it UBIG - so many twists and turns it's hard to keep up) in Lithuania, and then claim they have an agreement "in principle" for the transfer of the required shares.Quote:

Forget the need for Court ratification - that legal requirement will be conveniently glossed over as the famous "rubber stamp" formality. Even if the truth is, it isn't.....
Although it has to be said that HMFC wouldn't recognise a "principle" if it came up and hit them between the eyes.
