Ach well. You have to admit that it's a pretty impressive counter-argument.
Correct. There's plenty of "OMG LOOK AT UKIO! YAMS ARE DONE FOR LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL" and there has been for about 5 years but nothing actually happens to Hearts.Quote:

At the rate they were going they should have sold at least five first team regulars in the January window. They sold one of them along with Peter Enckelman and brought in two players that it has been suggested are only on marginally less wages.Quote:

Ukio Bankas managers suspected of wasting bank's money - prosecutor
VILNIUS, Feb 12, BNS - Ukio Bankas' top managers are suspected of renting property at unreasonably high prices and hiring related people for high-paying jobs, a prosecutor said Tuesday, adding that tens of millions of litas could have been wasted.
"I will not give you the amounts, but the Bank of Lithuania has basically provided data in five categories: regarding a suspicious loan granted, another loss-making loan, rent contracts at unreasonably high prices, and hiring of related persons at huge salaries. The bank's funds were used to serve their interests," Simonas Minkevicius said at a news conference when asked about the size of assets that the bank's managers are suspected of having embezzled.
There are also suspicions that the bank's capital increase in 2011 was not entirely transparent, he said.
Minkevicius said that he did not know where Vladimir Romanov, Ukio Bankas' majority shareholder, was at the moment, but said that the bank's managers, not its shareholders, would be the first to be suspected.
The prosecutor said that they had not yet taken any steps with respect to Romanov or the bank's managers, since the pre-trial investigation had just been launched. He was asked if he would take measures to prevent Romanov from leaving Lithuania.
Top work Sergey!

How is that cutting cloth?
It seems to me, that they are loading themselves with debt, in the hope of writing off Hearts as bad debt.
You can bet your house that the cake sale money, ain't in Hearts coffers, but in the suitcase (swiss bank vault) of Vlad.

They might have to write some of it off but they wouldn't write it all off if they could sell Tynie and any other assets.Quote:

Hearts would be the burning nightclub. The fans, the bankrupt ex-owner.

should have mentioned this earlier, when news broke re-the bank in administration and my thoughts were....has vlad left the building? I fully expect him to be returned in chains,from the seycheles/cuba/or any other exotic island you wish to name, or dug out of a bunker in his own compound, shot through the back o' his left lug. a bit like Saddam.Quote:

However, if they control the assets then only one thing will happen surely...
If this had happened during the property boon then they would be ****ed. Does anyone think a house builder would pay millions for that midden in the middle of a ****ty area along with all the negative press they would get?Quote:

It's a sad day when the most popular thread is about a bank going into administration.
Depends, I'm no expert, but...Quote:

Hearts owe UBIG at least £20million, UBIG seem to have nothing of value on its books and owes Ukio a fortune. The security, worth £6.8 million ultimately means that if the total debt can't be reclaimed, the minimum amount they will seek is that £6.8 million.
Surely if they can't get it, would they just pull the plug? At the moment (in theory, if the share money is still with Hearts), the club has as much cash as it is likely to get. Hearts have publicly said they need more from 'somewhere' to make it to the end of the year. It could conceivably be in the interest of the Admins to simply shut the club down, take what cash they can get and asset strip it?
I read as far as the worst football ever and then gave up.Quote:
