The figure is closer to £3k (from a club insider - the Star that is, not the yams). The same source informed me that Romanov personally turned up at a recent game and asked for half the gate money to be paid to him there and then - which it unbelievably was (approx £900). At the time he promised the Star would be fully paid within a couple of days - still no cheque. I've no idea why they didn't with hold gate money to pay the dues, must be something contractual that prevents them from doing that and no doubt the yamboids would be first to start shouting if someone was owe them money!

Within the last week the Star have sent a letter to hearts stating if they don't receive monies due then they will cease their use of the facilities.

Vlad has to try and get to transfer window time. That way the Dafties will have bought up the shares, spent money on tickets, got the dosh for the cup game and sell every player they can, then with some money in his pocket he will pull the plug. Go into liquidation and I think the players contracts go to the sfa or something and vlad will get nothing for them. Question is, does vlad actually have 450k?

Which ones would command any sort of transfer fee?

It's a good point. Most of the senior players are out of contract in the summer so it would be difficult for him to raise £450k from player sales in January to cover his outlay on the tax bill.

I still haven't seen a good reason for him to pay it. He won't get it back.

They certainly won't get any decent fee now for any player. I think the most significant thing about the January transfer window, if they make it that far, is that they might be able to release a few of the high earners if the players agree to it.

That will be fun seeing the rats desert the sinking ship

Is it a possibility this is a bit of a PR stunt? Don't get me wrong, they are probably really up the creek with the payment order. But the statement is quite uncharacteristic of the yams. Is it possible he's making a meal of this just so he can show prospective investors the potential turnouts and romanov's going to jump in at the end and save the day?

Or is it actually too good to be true?

I don't think so.

First, Vlad said he wanted to sell the club. No takers.

Then they announced the share issue, and hinted it could be repeated if take up was good.

Yesterday's announcement and panicked statements has surely spiked the share issue - I know your average Yam is stupid, but I can't see how a story about another unpaid tax bill can help sell shares.

It seems a mental way of going about things. But then, I suppose that's been obvious for seven years.

Transparent... they're about as transparent as Gary McKay is weighed down by medals.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would offer £3 million for Driver. What has he ever done apart from clog up the treatment room? He averages around 20 appearances and about 3 goals a season.

I suspect that the £3 million bid was a figment of Vlad's imagination designed to whip up interest.

Apologies if already posted, but I missed this update from Fedotovas posted earlier:

http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/articles/2...241384_2974454

Quote:

Positive signs

Hearts director Sergejus Fedotovas has today expressed his confidence that the club can emerge from its financial troubles - but only with the help of the supporters.

After being hit with a winding up citation by HMRC yesterday, the Tynecastle board issued a stark warning to fans that unless they bought tickets for the next three home games and/or purchased shares, the visit of St Mirren on November 17 could be the last match.

There has since been an encouraging response fron the Gorgie faithful with the Ticket Centre and online store doing brisk business.

Speaking to Hearts News this afternoon, Sergejus said: "It was not easy for the Board to write that statement yesterday but we find ourselves in a very difficult situation at the moment.

"This is a very tough period for Heart of Midlothian FC and we need the fans to back the club as much as they can.

"The demand for the tickets for St Mirren has picked up and the priority is to sell this game out as well as Celtic and Aberdeen. There has also been a lot of business done in the shares department, which again is great to see.

"But make no mistake, these are extremely tough times for everyone associated with this famous football club and only with the help of the supporters, the lifeblood of the club, will be able to come through them."

---

No figures given, so we're speculating as to how their emergency fundraising campaign is going. I think they've doomed.

On Facebook this evening


There is a fans fundraising day in the Gorgie Suite on Sunday 18th November.

Graeme Kay, John Quinn, Mark Calder, Gary McWhinnie & Craig Wilson are organising things. They are hoping to sell upwards of 350 tickets so we need you all there, and willing to spend money, and we need you tell all your Hearts supporting members of family and friends.

Tickets will be £20 per person. Obviously other opportunities on the day to spend money. If we get 350 spending £40 each then that’s 14K to the club, either donated or purchasing shares and donating to HYDC. I know Christmas is coming, it’s the same for us all, but we need to dig deep and help the club through this. £40 now, for having a club for the rest of our lives is a small price to pay I think.


We’re trying to get current players, ex-players along. Format will be speakers, irish bingo, Q&A sessions & Scottish cup will be there to get photos (£5 per photo). Scott Wilson is hosting the day for us and Mark Martin from Forth One is being asked to do a disco from 6-8pm. Event starting at 1pm.

Tell everyone you know!

Does anyone notice that what could be hearts last game is against st mirren or st liedown as the yams call them
remember MAY 1986

£14k probably wouldn't cover two of the highest paid players wages for a week.

They'd need to have about 10 of these events every week for it to make any difference.

Wish one of them would look at the sort of figures involved and realise the time for this sort of action has gone......keep yer money and invest it into whatever the new company is going to be.

The more events like these the more difficuilt it'll be for them to put cash in when the club really needs it.

shame :greengrin

All these fundraising efforts are all good and well. BUT they are all happening after the 8 day deadline for the payment of tax is over?!

The way I see it unless Romanov steps in (which I think he will) then they are goosed as theres no way they will raise the 450k between now and thursday. :confused:

Potentially a clever move here. Can the club be held responsible by the SPL for late payment of wages if the staff are volunteering to postpone payments.

Okay, the SPL can say to the club that they have failed to be in a position to pay their staff but it certainly could muddy the waters

I'd be very surprised if all the players are willing to defer all of there wages when the clubs on the verge of being liquidated so unlikely to see any of there money. One or two dafties might but no way the whole squad will.

I really hope Stevenson feels like a right fanny just now and is getting absolute dogs abuse from his wife.

Don't need a Scottish journo barney, they forgot journalism years ago - he got his Oct wages three and a half weeks late I'm told - along with two more of the coaching staff and six players - the Newtongrange Star story is an absolute belter - someone gonna tweet Brian and ask him to investigate ?

They also owe a certain 2nd division club over £40k. I am pretty sure they will be behind in payments to all their suppliers including rates, Riccarton, police, pitch conditioning, etc etc. Anybody in the council know the rates position?

Here are a couple of questions I would have liked a journalist to ask.

1) This £ 450,000 bill the HMRC are taking you to court for covers the period up to the end when , August, September ?

Have you made provision to pay the October, November Tax and N I. ?

2) How much of this season's income was spent paying last season's bills,wages etc.

3)Are you up to date with local taxes, eg. Business rates for Tynecastle, and rental dues for the club shop and ticket office.

The journalists won't ask those questions but I'm sure HMRC will when deciding whether to offer a payment plan or not which is probably why Hertz are panicing now.

No, if they're attached to a club when the transfer window closes they then can't sign for another club until the window opens.

I think the only time this changes is if they're released due to the club going into administration.

Hertz would have to get them to agree to terminate their contract first before they became a free agent. Even then, you can only sign for another club as a free agent if you we're not contracted to anyone when the window closed.

Anyone Hertz came to an agreement with couldn't sign for anyone else until the window opens again on 1st January.

Spot on. The prospectus is a legal document and has a duty of disclosure and transparency to anyone investing. If not, then anyone investing can claim the money back and sue the authors/directors for their money back and/or damages. Doubt if Vlad's pals will give a toss about that? Who is going to sue them?

I think that's an over-interpretation of what was in their share offer document. It stated that UBIG would continue to hold the debt and wouldn't call it in, which is a form of financial support. The relevant question at the moment is whether Romanov is going to provide any new finance to pay off the current debts.

From Brokeback.


Was in the queue for shares bout 4.10pm today when a wee older woman came in (Granny I think) with a wee lad behind her 8-10 years. She tells the boy behind the counter that the lad had his "life savings" in the box he was carrying and he wanted it to help save Hearts.
He started pouring it into a bucket filling it with coinage then stuffing notes through another slot bucket. I was struggling not to greet in the queue.
Never seen anything like it, what a lad!

What a choob!

Apparently the hearts fans met the board earlier, any news from this?

It's absolutely bonkers any hearts fan would come away from meeting them believing anything that they say but you know they will.

Why wouldn't they? They've not been lied to before. Its not like they've been promised champions league wins, or world cup stars, or a new stadium, or wages, or that they wouldn't sell to the old firm...

They have no reason to doubt them. And Gary Mckay isn't a racist.

Are they dead yet?

just noticed that MCGlynn forgot to mention, he's awrite re-delaying his wages cos his wife's got a job:rolleyes:

He started pouring it into a bucket filling it with coinage then stuffing notes through another slot bucket. I was struggling not to greet in the queue.
Never seen anything like it, what a lad!

What a choob!

Who ? Has Chairman Roman Romanov been found, has Ms Goncaruk taken a break from the fashion houses of Milan, and of course the major project facilitator, Vasiliauskas, returned to put the finishing touches to the Mega-stand - Hilton Hotel by the Distillery.

It will be Fedatoadus and Southern, a couple of Vlad puppets.

Anyway I hope Vlad's statement tomorrow is heavy with references to monkeys, mafia, Tax people killing him and how corrupt this country is.:greengrin

The only news so far seems to be that the people attending are too important to tell the other Hearts fans what's going on. The blazers and badges brigade were out in force.

It's not all bad news for them, this time next year they can have 2 Remembrance Days.

amazing what a difference 3 weeks can make , eh mate:turnevil:

Hibs should be monitoring this situation to appeal to the SFA that Hearts need to be stripped of their recent cup win, as subsequent events have shown they could not AT THAT TIME afford the team they played in the Semi and the Final.

Or as it is also known, Cheating.

Real trumpet on SSN reporting back from the meeting with the board. "We need to buy match tickets and shares". No criticism of Vlad at all. What a sorry bunch. Even the so called fan reps are towing the party line.Pathetic.

ie Fedotovas has told them that there is little/no chance of Romanov paying this time.

Alex O'Henley (BBC Alba commentator) on twitter:

"Hearts shareholders join board in plea for fans to bail them out. As suspected Vladimir Romanov is not going to pick up the tab this time."

Spot on. The fans wouldn't be going on TV with the begging bowl if they were told that Vlad was bailing them out.

christmas appears to be coming dead early :-)

Nah, if they sink into oblivion, I won't grudge them their 'big win'.

Tonight there was a meeting between Serge and supporters group. This posted on Facebook from someone that was there :


Tax bill getting paid mate. We need to raise 2 million by end of season then we will be where we want to be and Vlad will sell us. Vlad wont put us out of business, HMRC will if we dont pay bills. Vlad wants us to run ourselfs then he will look to sell.They were confident that the bill would be paid but they need fans through the gates.

Appears that this is not the end.....OR? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Romanov as usual will bail them out ffs

I read that and I actually found it quite heartwarming....until I read what he was wearing: a white top with something about Gowzer hating Hibs.

This is what the Romanov era has produced and I hope that wee boys money is totally wasted and he realises how stupid he was when he sees his club go down the pan.

Arrogant, obsessed and completely devoid of any class from top to bottom.

I'd imagine they told the gathered supporters exactly what they'd want to hear to avoid a riot...

Last week supporters representatives and ex player met Old Serge boy and they told fellow supporters that the club was dealing with them in a new, open and transparent manner. Never mentioned the non payment of PAYE though did they.:cb

I can't get a rise out of any of my Jambo 'friends' on Facebook!

They are lying low.

Anyone else having a similar experience?:dunno:

He better not pay the bill! We are having way too much fun! :bitchy:

Hoping to use an Ebbe Skhovdal quote for Hearts fund raising activities..........

"....the operation was a success but the patient died":greengrin

Was in my local bar just a wee while ago, the guy that currently owns it is a jambo.

I asked him of his opinion on the current set of affairs and what he thought about Vlad on a whole.

His only response was "Well.... we've won 2 Scottish Cups, so he's been good for us."


These fools just don't get it. :crazy:

Apologies if this has been posted but just been sent this;

Away down in Gorgie it's cold and it's dark There's a lovely new Tescos with a great big car park Where folk used to sing about glorious Hearts There's nowt left but wifies wi' trolleys and carts This is my story This is my song Swallow Vlad's lies and you won't last long Though some say that Sevco will shortly be toast We'll get there before them is the Jambos proud boast...Hearts, Hearts, tore up in parts It's down at Tynecastle they died The talk o' the toon was a Russki baboon And he stole all the money and lied
