Boring? It's just getting interesting.
In any case, you don't have to read it. :bye:

Heres an alternative option involving Hearts demise, this would appear to be the prime time for someone to come along and snap up both Edinburgh clubs and establish The Capital as a one club city playing at ER. Maybe all this infrastructure was put in place for a reason!
Surprised its not been tried before if I'm honest! ;-)
Absolutely delighted that our succulent lamb media clowns are staying schtum on recent developements. If they were commenting, it would only be pro HoMFC waffle, as it is in their long term interests to protect them and keep them as intact as long as possible. If, Hibernian 0762, you are bored with the thread, take a break and we'll call you when the real party starts. :greengrin
I dunno why but I find myself writing a parody of Green Days "Wake Me Up When September Ends"... Work in process !
"Vlads reign has come and passed
The cheating **** will never last
Wake me up when Tynecastle ends
Like your main stand it's in the past
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when Tynecastle ends.."
Jamie Borthwick says it will be on STV site in an hour (that was at 1:15pm) and says the quotes are better than the ones on Good Morning Scotland.

I'm feeling 99% enjoyment of this thread. If you don't want to read it, just stay away. Why should you dictate what makes a story? Bear in mind that I've worked at numerous papers and you're setting yourself up as THE editor with silly comments like this.
You're not the editor, you're not a moderator, so just leave the rest of us to it, please.
Just out of interest - can someone confirm it's a 10 point deduction for administration and not 18 I have seen posted several times.
What are the chances of the yams going into administration ?
As I see it Vlad's empire has crumbled in a big way and he doesn't have the back up he used to have to shift money sources.
They are still stuck with players they can't afford - however keep bringing loans in ?:confused:
Debt free or not they still have a major problem with the stadium - the old stand - the current stands maintenance and no money to build anything let alone replace the main stand.
They are losing Zaliukas / Grainger (end of contracts) and probably Webster and Novikovas. Ngoo and Wilson won't be around next season either.
They may win the cup final but bottom 6 would really hurt them so lets hope they end up there as the fans won't be interested in meaningless games (meaning less money for the club) with Dundee looking like they will go down.
Next season will be interesting to see their team and what state the club will be in - surely their luck has run out ?
with driver leaving they will probably bring in another player who is a free agent
Not sure Scenario 1 works Peeve. What it boils down to is the administrator or buying bank (per your later post) giving the buyers of HoMFC a long-term loan/mortgage to buy and operate the club. That would have to be either unsecured or secured on Tynie which is nowhere near the value of the loan you're suggesting. Ukio's administrator can't do that because the bank's licence has been revoked and it would be a huge risk for the buying bank to offer that sort of facility to a club that hasn't made a profit since Grampa was a lad. I would also maintain that the assigned security is a block on any undervalue sale of the club or tynie for as long as UBIG remain solvent. From the buyer's point of view they would be better waiting for a liquidation/administration sale to pick up the assets at sale value and then take a bank loan to pay for it if they could get one.
Funnily enough there's no guarantee that a newco would go into D3 either - IIRC the decision on that change to the rules was that each case would be decided on its merits so it's possible that a Newyam could be voted into the SPL. Annoying in one respect, but the bleating and whining from Govan would be priceless.
Definitely 18 points. It's 1/3 of the previous season's points total, rounded up. They finished with 52 points last season.
That was under the old rules. They were changed as a result of Rangers' demise.

These rules were implemented after Oldco. They were deducted 10pts. SFA took their lead on this from England on the 10 point penalties. The 10 point deduction as has been seen in England is no deterrent whatsoever, in my view and not just because of the Yams but 25pts would be viewed differently. Currently in England you see teams choosing when they want to go in administration, its an absolute joke.
