They won't bat an eyelid to this rest assured, they know the pathetic and weak SPL are too busy crossing swords with der hun to bother about this latest sordid episode of non payment of players (if true)Quote:

O and FTY's
Hearts announced on their website during the week to their 400,000 fans that if they buy a ticket for next weekends game against killie then they are guaranteed a ticket for the wee cup final. If they are struggling to pay this months wages then that offer starts to make a lot of sense
As they will probably sell their allocation, this is indeed a desperate bid to get bums on seats and money in the till for a game that would probably only have had about 11k.Quote:

Heard from a Jambo usually in the know that they are paying £3k a week to Liverpool for Danny Wilson .... So much for them being skint
Wouldnae be surprised if they default on paying them and he gets hauled back .... Here's hopin
I don't think that can be right, they were supposed to replace those they released with players on a smaller wage? Saying that, its not the first time they have broken the rules if they are doing this?Quote:

What's worse, the authorities in this country just lie back and take it.
A wee timely point deduction of say 6 points would almost guarantee a bottom six position and possibly bottom two!
The problem is that it should be more than 6 IMHO.Quote:

Wasnt there some shenanigans about part wages being paid from lithuania at one point? Maybe they only show the scottish wage slip, which amounts to "less" than the amount they are allowed?Quote:

Perhaps the biggest news from tannadice yesterday was their one remaining saleable asset (zakiuakas) injured himself whilst falling onto a Dundee utd player.
Word had it that hearts were 100% reliant on getting a fee for him (from Swiss club young boys) to make it to June.
Looks like no transfer, no fee, and an injured overpaid sportsman to keep paying til summertime.

Is there any indication of how long he'l be out for?Quote:

They will consider Cat B season ticket packages but no certainty.
It seems clear that the club has to meet all its current and upcoming costs costs from new revenue and no money will be coming from VR and the monies raised via the share issue etc is already spoken for or spent. Paying the February wages would seem to be a serious challenge and unless tehre is a player sale we may defualt again and face further sanctions. Interestingly Southern said Hearts had no complaints about how they were being dealt with which was entirely in line with the rules. There was even some criticism of the award of inflated player contracts which is really a criticism of VR and I dont think would have happened a few months ago. So maybe it is rally the end game for VR."
A couple of other posters commented on it but no-one contradicted the comments. Sorry about the spelling but I am quoting a Jambo.
This has probably been alluded to earlier in this thread, but what further sanctions are there? There's little point in another transfer embargo as the window is closed; a fine is pointless, so surely there is every chance of a points deduction.Quote:

Never before has :ostrich:been more apt to describe the actions of the yam faithful.
Imo there won't be a points deduction, the next step should imo be that they're not allowed to play any player that isn't paid up to date.Quote:

I know we all have a go at the SPL but it could be really difficult if Hearts only paid the first team and left all the admin, shop and casual staff as well as suppliers unpaid to ensure Zaluskas on his £9k a week could play. Bit like how it backfired on taxes when they just stopped the council tax payments to meet them.Quote:

A sanction which should automatically be in place for all teams anyway imho.Quote:

I also think that the SPL or whoever it is that's dolling-out the punishments should have put a suspended sentence in place so that the yams (or whoever else) know exactly what faces them should they once again default. Just saying that further sanctions will be put in place leaves everyone in the dark.
FFS - by the yams own admission they've stated that they don't have the cash to see them to the seasons end - they are behind with rent, tax and probably PAYE and god knows what else.
One other thing - if UBIG/Ukio do go under this week, would the yams automatically enter administration?
Why are the banks in danger of going under this week in particular? The stocks have been down for quite a while, I know that, but why do you mention this coming week?Quote:

Starting price for someone wishing to buy the club would be about £7m, which is roughly the value of the land. An extra 50p should cover the value of the brand.Quote:
