The share issue is merely a distraction to divert folks attention from the main event.

Hmmm - the bank have now withdrawn their 'B' rating from S&P
See: https://newsclient.omxgroup.com/cdsP...ssageId=658925
The 'B' rating is slightly better than a 'C' rating, which equates to: 'In default with little
prospect for recovery'
Effectively the credit worthiness of UKIO.
The announcement is a nice bit of spin but I would suggest the reason they are withdrawing from S&P's ratings is that they know that a future downgrade is very likely. They also make the decision not to engage in international credit market their choice when I sincerely doubt they could raise a dime out of anyone anyway. Their balance sheet is shot and raising capital would be one way to help repair it, fact is they can't as no sane person or institution would touch them with a barge pole so I would suggest that is exactly why the Lith authorities have been strongly suggesting a 'merger' with another bank for UKIO.
You really must read these inbreds comments on the Scotsman sport pages :confused:
Even worse (if that's possible) than on yakback, talk about deluded!
Where o where do they come from???
Some definite mental health issues within the regular contributors to the Scotsman comments section- total fruitloops most of them.
Whats most likely to finish them off? Events in Lithuania or running out of cash here? Or a combination of both?
My bet would have been running out of cash here but things seem to be gathering pace in Lithuania.
Why do you think that? They said they needed £1.7m and have fallen well short of that. In addition, any early ST money that comes in before the end of the season will be used to pay their first £500k HMRC instalment.
The only hope they have is getting to the LC final and if their January fire sale does exceptionally well. Then they may just scrape through.

Yet another order to " strike off " the Yams recorded at Companies House. Just noticed it, on top line beside Company Status - active.
It probably just relates to the Company Annual Return being 3 months overdue but it just shows what a shambles that Club is in now.

While a lot on here rub their hands together at the prospect of them finally going down the pan every time its flushed they keep bobbing back up like a persistent floater that just won't disappear. They may be in the toilet, but they will continue to hang on and create a bad smell.
Keith Downie@STVkeith Hearts players were asked by club to sign document deferring all bonus payments until the end of the season. Players chose not to

Where they going to find the bonus money from? Some players dont even play for the club anymore.
“@BBCthomasmcg: RT @BBCchrismclaug: #Hearts fail to pay player bonuses & transfer embargo continues. Will be lifted when players paid in full #SPL #BBCSport”
So Hearts still have it within their powers to sign players in January if they pay their current players in full. SPL playing a blinder for the Hearts players.
