Wouldn't stop offices being built. Also think if say cala bought it, even the daftest yam wouldn't blame them for hertz demise, would they?

Got a feeling that Ryan Stevenson won't be in a hurry returning home to his mrs after training today
Didn't nearby Distillery show an interest in buying the land? I'm sure its been deemed unsuitable for housing since the Cala bid.
They can blame :agree:

Chairman George Foulkes acclaimed 'one of the greatest days for Hearts' as Vladimir Romanov launched his bid to become the Tynecastle club's outright owner. :thumbsup:
If memory serves, the stadium has lost half its value from the £22mil Cala were originally going to pay CR at that time. £11mil would appear to be the value. There is no team value due to no wages now and no chance of future wages so the players will walk (this sentence is pure hopeful conjecture but a scenario I would imagine will come to pass!) as you would expect.
So this leads me to a few questions:
1. I would imagine a top figure of around £12mil would get Hearts and another £8mil to keep it going for another season - Who would be bonkers enough to go there?
2. What bank would set-up credit facilities for Hearts considering they have no value or assets to sustain such credit?
3. Those who want to buy Hearts, I assume, would have to put up massive guarantees for any bank to take a gamble on them?
4. Any bank daft enough to consider entering into this would surely be put off by future running costs and stadium redevelopment after due dilligence was done?
For me, the only way out is newco.
Am I not right in thinking that UKIO can't do anything with the security on tynecastle as long as ubig meet the terms of the contract e.g. If ubig aren't sue to pay the loans for two years there's nothing administrators can do until that period expires?
If anyone was looking to buy an Edinburgh football club there's only really one sensible option and it ain't the Yams...
BAnderson on twitter:
@BarryAnderson_8: #Hearts wages paid on time this month. Board say there are no financial issues going forward, trading as normal. #HMFC #SPL
Done.
No financial issues going forward. Now that's funny :greengrin
There are no tanks in Baghdad cChemical Ali
I wonder if the Yams got an advance on their SPL money due at the end of the season ?
Advances were given to Gretna to get them to the end of the season back in 2007 so there is precedent and I'm sure it would suit the SPL not have an Armagedon incident.
That was after Gretna had gone into administration to ensure that they fulfilled their fixtures. I can't see the SPL helping out a club with "no financial issues going forward" as that would give them an unfair advantage over the other clubs in the league.
On another point, did the new SPL rules provide for points deduction for holding companies going into administration as well as the club itself? I think Southampton lost points down here when their holding company went bust.
@jj_bruce: @BarryAnderson_8 Ukio about to be liquidated and opinion in Kaunas is UBIG to follow. "No issues" you say?
@BarryAnderson_8: @jj_bruce Board say no issues, as tweet states. Ukio probs barely affect #Hearts. UBIG not funded #Hearts for a year, just debt facilities.
@jj_bruce: @BarryAnderson_8 Unpaid rent and business rates? "The board say", but what independent digging have you done? Bloomberg, Nasdaq etc?
@jj_bruce: @BarryAnderson_8 I find it worrying you take the board's statements at face value. Again what independent research have you done?
@BarryAnderson_8: @jj_bruce Plenty research & nothing hints at impending trouble for #Hearts. Club know cuts still needed. Tks for telling me how to do my job
@jj_bruce: @BarryAnderson_8 Ok then. :-)
I think that's the lot. It's all on Twitter anyway,
I don't understand his hostility at the end. You can only help people so far I suppose.
Should've reminded him to remember his note pad and pencil.
