The boy with the Duff Beer looks like Daniel Sloss' big brother (if he has one).
The original HMFC was founded in 1874 and incorporated in 1903 about a month earlier than Hibs. That 1874 incarnation, however, folded in March 1905 and started as a Newco in April 1905. If you recall the Rangers fiasco in that, in Scots Law, the corporate entity is inseperable from the club then this incarnation of the Yams is the original Sevco. The yams proudly claim titles won in 1895 1897 and Cups won in 1894,1899 and 1904 (yes, they went bust a year after winning a Scottish Cup, spooky or what?) whilst claiming Sevco are a new start with no history.
*Yes we folded in 1891 but we were not an incorporated body at the time so we were able to pick up where we left off.
There's a glaring error in that document. In fact, it's an absolute stonker.
How much are BDO helping themselves to in fees?
I don't understand how they owe all that spondooly?? Thought they were self sufficient.....Im confused:confused:
The article in the Herald has the BDO fees so far as £227,000
This is an interesting quote from the article:
"The Lady Haig Poppy Factory in Edinburgh is owed £185. A spokeswoman stressed this was not a public donation that had not been handed over but an unpaid purchase from the factory, most likely to be a wreath."
:hmmm:
Now, call me suspicious but wouldn't it be ironic if they bought this wreath for The Hearts War Memorial and it had never been paid for. Especially considering how much they've played up to this in recent years
Just have to say - well done CWG for breaking this story and in doing so showing the mainstream media how they should be doing their jobs. See them all jump on it now, mind. They'd be none the wiser if it weren't for our resident .net experts. :top marks
It seems that the McCrae Battalion Trust have settled this, meaning MBT are out their own money and this amount too.
Maybe one of the mouthpiece's who repeatedly told us that Hearts were self sufficient should square them up. David Southern would be a good place to start seeing as he had the power to pay them while he was in charge.
so tomorrow is the hearing & decision on their 'penalty' ?
hope its a fine :)
Thanks, that backs up my theory then that a representative of Hearts laid a Wreath on the War Memorial for which the club never paid a penny.
In anybody's language, that's absolutely shameful; especially so considering the club themselves have mentioned the sacrifice of the McRaes Battalion in order to rally the modern day troops to give them money.
Heart of Midlothian, The Club with No Shame!
Has anyone suggested that Hibs should donate the money to the poppy folk and macraes batallion - let's take the moral high ground once and for all.
Allisbarry has been very quiet today. In hindsight his timeline must be a source of some embarrassment to him.
Maybe.

Correction on earlier. £1.2m loan from UBIG to Hearts was transferred to this 'Milson' corp in March 2013 http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/hearts/234601-hearts-debts-total-285m-administraor-report-reveals/ …
I've solved the mystery of this Saville crowd, it seems they manufacture these.
Attachment 10756
Savills are an estate agent, must be when they were sourcing their 400k capacity ground?
I like this twitter account related to the The Rangers https://twitter.com/RFCCreditors
So I made this related to Hearts https://twitter.com/HOMFCCreditors
:aok:
BBC story re the debt has a bit more detail than some but still no mention of the sums owed to charities, when these should be highlighted in the press. :rolleyes:

Administrators reveal level of Hearts' debt
Hearts' unsecured creditors are likely to receive nothing in the event of an exit from administration via a company voluntary arrangement [CVA].
Total claims by club creditors amount to £28.4m, the bulk of which is owed to the collapsed Lithuanian companies of former owner Vladimir Romanov.
Ukio Bankas, who are owed £15.5m, hold Tynecastle Stadium as security against that debt.
And the value of the property is less than that amount.
The "book value" of the stadium from Hearts' statutory accounts in 2012 is listed at more than £13m.
The administrators have since commissioned a revaluation of Tynecastle but have not released details "so as not to prejudice the current sale" of the Edinburgh club.
BDO do say that a "nil value" has been placed on the leasehold interest Hearts have on their training complex at Riccarton, Herriot Watt University.
An initial creditors meeting will take place on 12 August, the day after the first Edinburgh derby of the new season.
Shareholders Ukio Bankas and UBIG are owed around £24m of the debt, making an exit via a CVA dependent on the approval of administrators acting on their behalf.
The administrator for Ukio Bankas has already dismissed the ongoing bids for the club as unacceptable.
In the report, distributed to all creditors, BDO state that rescuing Hearts through a CVA is its first objective.
A second option is listed as "a better result than liquidation", with winding up the club and realising property values the last resort.
Hearts debt to HM Revenue & Customs now stands at close to £1.9m, with Edinburgh Council owed more than £90,000, Big Hearts Community Trust (£34,000) and the Scottish Police Authority (£18,500).
The Scottish Football Association, which is owed £5,500, is almost certain to insist that any new owner of the club inherit the "football debt".
Money owed in wage arrears combined with cash for players made redundant and fees outstanding to Liverpool, Rangers, Ayr United, Kaunas, Musselburgh Athletic, Livingston, Stenhousemuir and Musselburgh Athletic totals £535,000.
Administrators fees for the running of Hearts have topped £227,000 in the first six weeks, with BDO saying they will not take any payment until it is agreed with those representing Ukio Bankas and UBIG.
BDO has recorded a trading surplus of £958,000 since taking over on 20 June, the vast majority coming from season-ticket sales.
The administrators also secured a £100,000 compensation fee for Arvydas Novikovas, who joined German side Erzgebirge Aue, while £48,000 in donations has been ring-fenced.
Meanwhile, BDO will attend a hearing with the Scottish FA on Thursday where additional sanctions for Hearts' insolvency may be imposed.
Maybe as 'concerned Edinburgh resident' the administrators in Lithuania could be gifted private membership of dotnet?
It would probably be the best 20 quid any Hibee has ever spent.
I like this one... From liquidback
"CJGJ, on 31 July 2013 - 07:53 PM, said:
So how is Massone going to fund the football debt? so he must also be out of the running."
Erm do you need to settle footballing debts to build flats, offices or shops ??
It's important the SFA increase the signing ban past January. Last thing we want is the yams building up another warchest in November when the Poppies go sale.
As a loan player they would be due to pay part of his wages to Liverpool who in turn would pay the player as still on their books.
Obviously they found out what he was like and decided not to pay Liverpool at all................. or they just havent met their side of the bargain on the loan agreement.
They are doing the very same as Rangers and this list of creditors proves it. They were playing players they could not afford who won cups for them. Their wages might have been from monies collected for the Big Hearts Trust, macraes battalion and lady haig poppy factory.......
Rangers were taken to the cleaners by the SFA/SPL and dropped down to the third division AND IMHO this is were they should be!!!
Disgusting reading !
Horrible ****my hearts *******s
owing money to charities! Terrible, hope they rot
"Ha ha ha, honestly I told them I would sell them shares, I told them they are worthless and they still went for it!! Honestly I had to use two hands to carry the bag full of cash out of Tynecastle. I didnt even bother with share certificates and they still love me!!"
Am I missing something here ? They owe the police £18,500, is that going to be paid ? If it's not how can the possibly play any more home games ?
Thanks CWG, you'd think tho' the police would be justified in refusing to do any more games while they are owed money. If someone owed me for a service I had provided and told me I wouldn't see that money but wanted me to continue, I know what my response would be.
:agree: Sidney has now raised awareness of so many topics with so many people that he's become a kind of focus for all that needs to be done. Shouldn't we channel all future concerns through him? We could start a campaign to make sure that he knows about anything and everything that needs to be raised with anyone and everyone. Perhaps this campaign could have as its slogan "Tell Sid" ?
I know it will have been asked, and answered, earlier, but why so many debts to all sorts of companies for £100? What's that all about?
Don't know if it has been asked.
I suspect that there are a few estimated figures in there. The accounting records of HMFC are, I am guessing, in a poor state and it was probably very difficult to compile that list in such a short time. There will be mistakes in the list.... see the poppy thread as an example... and other situations where it has not been possible to establish the exact amount of debts. Thus estimates will have been made, and those £100's may be an example of that.
All debts are adjudicated, ie have to be proven by the creditor. BDO acknowledge that, and there will be many changes to that list.
But they are getting money for current work. That's the issue. Refusing to do any more games would be a daft decision commercially. They know that they'll get paid for these ones, so why would they turn it down?
I'm intrigued by all the kaunas based companies that are owed money by hearts, how long have these companies been submitting invoices for hundreds of thousands?
What are these bills for?
Who are the directors of these companies?
I suspect I know the answers but would be good to get some proof
At £189k thus far, certainly not a waste of effort :greengrin
My thinking now is that UBIG will get shafted, and that only UKIO will get anything, whether by a CVA or liquidation. Up until today, I wasn't sure about the security situation, but now that BDO have clarified it, I can't see any way of UBIG getting anything.
Ask me again tomorrow.... :greengrin
Understand that but will be interesting to see stance of police for future games, minimum cash up front?
Wonder if Heriot Watt arrangement to let them train once a day (before U14 netball team use it) will remain or not? Appreciate legal position but common sense would make me say stuff it, you can find somewhere else unless you pay on advance?
What a devious little outfit they are. Knowingly taking on debts in the full knowledge they weren't ever gonna deliver payments.
Punish them. End them!
so, how DID they pay for their Belfast jaunt?
if someone borrowed money, or was due me money, and feked off to another country, I'd be mighty peeved if I didn't see my £'s again!
I guess an outfit such as that lot don't know the meaning of morality.
.....harbouring Corbett too! holy fek!
They would have got a guarantee of income from the tournament organiser.
As JGL says, BDO aren't allowed to favour one creditor over another, so that couldn't be paid.
I would think it pretty daft of the police to refuse. A publicly-funded body, turning down guaranteed substantial income? I wouldn't like to be the cop who took that decision...
Do we know how much the securities in favour of UKIO and/or UBIG are yet? And would this be excluded from any CVA vote? Also the Novikovas £100k is that not income from an asset that should be covered by the "floating charge"?
apologies in advance .
It must rankle with a lot of these smaller guys/ public bodies owed money that HMFC are sitting on £1m and they wont get their money.
I know, I understand it is unlikely for all the reasons given, however surely if you held them over a barrel they would have to pay would they not?
After all by paying they get revenue from being able to play more games
has anyone ever seen one of these letters, would like to read one, any printed?
