When it eventually happens they are going to be walking about saying that it's not their fault and that nobody could have seen it coming. And they won't be lying, their just that stupid.

Ukio Slumps as Majority Owner Exits Zalgiris: Vilnius Mover
2013-02-08 15:20:42.746 GMT
By Bryan Bradley
Feb. 8 (Bloomberg) -- AB Ukio Bankas, the Lithuanian bank
that’s lost more than half its value in a year, fell the most in
13 years after majority owner Vladimir Romanov said he was
ceding ownership of the debt-laden Zalgiris basketball club.
The shares plunged as much as 21 percent, posting the
steepest intraday drop since February 2000. They closed down 17
percent at 0.081 euro in Vilnius, valuing the bank at 29.4
million euros ($39 million). Volume of 2.5 million shares was
the most in a year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Romanov, who owns 64.9 percent of Kaunas-based Ukio Bankas,
will relinquish ownership of Kaunas Zalgiris basketball club
because the city council refused to provide enough financial
support for the team, Verslo Zinios newspaper reported on its
website today. Romanov also controls Edinburgh soccer club Heart
of Midlothian Plc through Ukio Banko Investicine Grupe, a sister
company of the lender.
“Investors don’t like all the media reports about the
bank’s main shareholder,” Tadas Povilauskas, an analyst at
Finasta investment bank in Vilnius, said by phone. “If he can
no longer afford to support his sports club, he probably also
wouldn’t be able to support the bank if needed.”
The falling share price, which dropped 25 percent this
week, has also triggered bank calls for additional collateral
from some investors, who’ve “had to either pay in or close
their positions,” according to Povilauskas.
Ukio Bankas in October reported a group net loss of 44
million litai ($17 million) for the first nine months of 2012.
Since then, it has had to assuage investor concerns about the
quality of its loans, the valuation of real-estate it owns and
probes of Russian money that was laundered through its accounts.
Lix, I think I love you. That sounds sweet sweet sweet. :greengrin
It will be interesting to see how the basketball scenario plays out as this may provide an indication of what the Yam's future holds.
If Hearts go into liquidation, Ubig lose all their £24m, so they won't do that.
If Hearts go in to administration ,Ubig again lose most of their £24m, so they won't do that either.
options
1 lease the ground out to new owners of the football club and make them pay the debt back over a long period as well as the interest they are currently charging Hearts.
2 cut their losses, sell Tynie and surrounding area and any other assets they may have and allow the club to fold.
3 continue as is, taking annual interest payments and probably asking Hearts for additional payments to start reducing debt.
none of these are great options for Hearts or Ubig.
Hearts best option might be for Ubig to fold leaving debt free unless of course the Lithuanian liquidators sell tynecastle.
Pure coincidence that as Vlad's empire crumbles, rumours circulate over a new stadium at Sighthill :hmmm::grr:
I imagine Vlad is planning his exit but will time it to minimize his losses. That means the end could come suddenly at a time the Jambos don't expect it.
Meanwhile in Yamland, they are wondering if 'Uncle Vlad' will come to the Final.
Be honest, we'll miss the humour.
Had a look over on kickback to see how today's news is going down. In a word unbelievable !
Top thread is about a yam who lost his scarf 2 weeks ago in the pub -44 posts.
The EEN article - 5 posts and it won't affect them as they are a stand alone business now. No mention of debt or securities held by Ukio Bankas on Tynecastle.
They are living in cloud coo-coo land.
