So as soon as Ubig collapse as it surely will it's an automatic 17 point deduction?
Won't matter in the medium term but will give us a few hours fun before they lock the gates at Tynecastle.

That's what I thought.
See the following link:

That refers to an investigation done by STV towards the end of last year into the murky world of Jambo finances. I found this wee nugget:
"UBIG had a floating charge over Tynecastle Stadium and the land around it. On December 6, 2012, UBIG transferred this charge to Ukio Bankas.
The charge, which secures the stadium against debts, is worth £6.8m."
So, the charge is now held by Ukio? If so, you would think the Administrator might be interested in realising it to try and raise some cash.........
Has anyone other than Succulent Yam Banderson confirmed all wages paid? Will SPL consider more sanctions if bonuses and appearance monies still unpaid?
Still not on their webpage! Wonder if Mister Anderson, Anderson, has been fed a line? Can imagine monumental scrapping around in the tin office!
I can confirm there is no bunting currently displayed in Gorgie.
There is a security on HoMFC's assets covering UBIG's debt to Ukio. While UBIG survive the very best thing that can happen to HoMFC (from their POV) is nothing at all. UBIG can't sell them for less than the £6.8m that Spike mentions because that security is bound to be contingent on UBIG's contnued ownership. If UBIG go under as well the administrator/liquidator will be duty bound to get as much out of HoMFC as possible either through break-up or sale of the shareholding. However, HoMFC is an 'asset' in two places on UBIG's books - as an investment and as a debtor so he could in theory sell the shareholding but leave some or all of the debt in place, still secured on the assets.
The scenario you describe is not impossible, but 1. I'm not convinced no developers would be interested and 2. They would still need to find someone willing to shell out that couple of million, plus the cost of repairing the PBS,investing in the playing staff (they've lost 7 first-pick players since last season and replaced them with Ryan Stevenson - and they're going to lose a lot more in the summer), plus the £1.5m tax arrears. And of course, if UBIG go bust they get 18 points docked as per greenginger's findings.
I think Angelo Massone is starting to look more and more like a future HoMFC owner if the above happens.

4 Potential buyers for Ukio Bankas
Sorry if its already been posted
Buyers for (some of) UB assets, not UB itself. Other banks will want to take on the solid loans and deposits held by UB, leaving the bad stuff (ie the dodgy loans to UBIG) to be wound up by the Lithuanian Government.

This Barry Anderson on the Twitter machine is priceless.
Just tweeted this guff
"Asked if Vladimir Romanov is insolvent, #Hearts director Sergejus Fedotovas said "That's rubbish." Story here:"
http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/latest-news/hearts-deny-vladimir-romanov-insolvent-claims-1-2793922
Actual quotes "Obviously I cannot speak for Mr Romanov..." :ostrich:
I didn't realise Kevin Webster was a jambo.
Maybe he has been helping them out financially, being a rich garage owner.
To have such a succinct response as "thats rubbish" does it for me then, everything must be fine.
No need to go onto qualify the statement by saying how strong his assets are and how much they exceed his eventual liabilities by, not to mention that he will be completely free of all possible criminal charges and all hisbusinesses will be trading normally again.
If by any chance these miracles should happen its unlikely to make any difference to the Yammish as it's all going to turn on what happens to UBIG or whoever administers or sells whats left of them later in the game. This will take time that the Yam probably don't have but for the time being "That's rubbish" should suffice for any trumpet that's sent the share money off in return for nothing at all, not even a bit of paper as they aren't even registered. The man is patronising them and they are lapping it up.

@ChunkyGeek
Seems that @edinburghpaper are unable to form a consensus re: Hearts issues? http://twitpic.com/c40ejw twitpic.com/c40ewm
I had an interesting convo with Hearts spokesman Barry Anderson this afternoon. Read the tweets between @radge and @barryanderson_8
He's hurting haha!
Here's one from another Jambo ..
"Worst case scenario is HEARTS going into ADMIN losing Tynie & being debt free. IE exactly where we were going to be pre VR without the admin. If it did transpire I would hope we could rent TYNIE (not Murrayfield) ........ we would then be debt free ,playing at Tynie with the 2nd biggest budget in the SPL with the added advantantage of the best crop of youngsters any SPL club has ever produced who will have aSPL season under their belt."
Surely the worst case scenario is liquidation, losing Tynie and 3rd division football with no stadium to play in??
BW - What part of :
"Hearts are self-sufficient and trading properly.
"We are paying our bills on time, paying wages, tax and other bills on time. We don't foresee any financial issues going forward."
Don't you get. You Hobo's really need to start looking closer to home. More change of Tom farmer putting you lot into Admin than anything of the sort at Tynie.
We are the big team, to big to fail, I'd worry about your own team I had the misfortune of being a hobbit.
