They still have 10% to go and it seems to be the hardest bit the rumours of unrest among the UBIG Creditors could still scupper things before the 27th April fingers crossed.

Sorry, but that is just playing on words. Given what they were told about the true value of the PBS, it would be amazing if the decision was unanimous. Everybody knows there's a cooling off period, but it would have been real folly to make thus weeks announcement if there was a significant chance of the deal getting blocked.
No, let the Yams celebrate escaping the chair - but the reality of life imprisonment awaits those cheating conniving no-marks. I know you will agree with those sentiments.
Honest
I posted a link to a BBC article last night which mentioned that the FOH have to hand over 1 million as soon as the deal is done and then 1.2 million for the next two seasons just to pay back the budgie wuman, hope the fans are ready for this as i can see the DD"s dropping once the deal is done.
That's it folks...get another dose of false hope based on a wild forum post on the internet. We've never done that before.
It's more than that.
That money is just for working capital. The £2.5m for the club needs to be repaid on top of that.

Yep, the FOH pay £1m immediately, then £1.4m per year for "at least" 2 years as "working capital" and then still have to pay back the budgie her £2.5m over a period of years.
So....assuming they can raise the £2.5 on top of the working capital, the minimum the FOH need to shell out is £6.3m by start of year 3?
Even the Jambo's article states that they need to understand that its £6m over 5 years to be raised. What it doesn't say is that the working capital requirement doesn't go away - they need that on top of the budgie money I imagine.
So, as stated many times, they won't have the cash to splash - on anything - for 3 years minimum IMO.
If any of these young players have the option to go elsewhere for more money or a higher standard of league then they should not sign for Hearts. The abuse which has been dished out on them has been awful considering the slashed wages they have been playing for. They should not damage their careers and potential wages for a cheating club (owned by one of the richest in Britain) and a poisonous support. The lesser talents should obviously sign for them if that is their best option, but I hope the good players will find better opportunities than pulling on a cheat's shirt. They have performed admirably in difficult circumstances and under a hail of abuse and criticism, but they should be careful not to jump from the frying pan into the fire and sign for THE rangers. Hopefully they will get good mentoring from somewhere and leave the cheats.
Interesting, has fatty Murray came out and said how much £££ FoH have at present?
It's a business plan with some pretty Big holes in it. Budgie may urge restraint, but the punters putting up the working capital for her to play with will want to see a return to the SPFL at the first attempt. They'd better hope Potter is on it from day one.
Mind you, if Sally stays at Der Newco they won't be a shoe in for the title.
It never happened though. Might have been close (do we really know how close given Jackson's posturing/manipulating?) and it was enjoyable, but this forums predictions/inside knowledge/sources were wrong in the end.
If people want to cling onto stevejordons or anyone else's 'Its no over' then fair enough...enjoy.
People should embrace Hearts and their 'new era' - a bunch of soulless cardigans wandering about Gorgie debating about which member gets the best parking space. Sheikh Mansour comes to Edinburgh it is not...
It's an interesting model.
On one hand, it gives them an additional £1m over what they would have through "normal" trading. That has to be good for them, on the face of things.
On the other, though, that statement says "It is intended that the Foundation will sign a legally binding agreement on behalf of the supporters". That could be a real problem. What happens if they don't pay the first £1.4m, or the second? Is the deal off? In my mind, that would reduce them to real self-sustainability, without the extra edge that I mentioned above.
