Hearts will keep trading till at least the end of the season. The alternative, in terms of SPL, cup final and the league situation, is too catastrophic to contemplate. If need be the SPL will advance them their league money (and rightly so IMO, as they did with Gretna) to help get them over the line.Quote:

Some folk really need to take a chill pill. Nobody is going to make a conscious decision to stop Hearts trading overnight because they are making trading losses. Pretty much every professional team in Scotland (except Celtic, thanks to the CL money) will be making a trading loss, but there is only serious danger to Hearts and Dunfermline at present.
The two dangers to Hearts are as follows:
1. UBIG entering bankruptcy, meaning that they can't renew their debt facility in the summer.
2. Running out of cash. This won't happen before the summer due to the league cup final, selling STs early and getting that advance from Sevco.
The only real impact you may see before the summer is if UBIG enter bankruptcy quickly, and the SPL then decide to enforce their rule that an owner and operator entering bankruptcy is the same as the club itself entering bankruptcy.
Be lovely (and ironic) if it were Hibs for non payment of ticket money. C'mon the HibsQuote:

This would then leave Hearts facing an 18 point deduction and in the likely position of losing Tynecastle. Again, neither of those things will happen overnight (the deduction would probably take a week due to SFA's inability to act on anything!) but we may be in a position to know that is their fate.
I don't think there's any serious suggestion of that.Quote:

1946 - 2006. Should have ended the vermin when you had the chance. Absolutely hate the dirty, manky Hubs barstads. Honestly, every one of their slum dwelling unemployed fans talks the same amount of sh*te about their shnide little club. Floodlights, shirt advertisement, Europe.. STFU, no one cares.
One smelly Granton refugee on Talk 107 tonight justified the 107 year Scottish Cup drought by saying 'Hearts will be gone in a year, re-enter in Division Three and then they will have NEVER won the Scottish Cup'. Straw clutching ****s.
**** them :agree:
One city, one team :aok:Quote:

They will only be able to keep the doors open if there is the cash to do so. Selling next years season tickets will not be done by the administrators as they are not allowed to create more creditors.
Is it really safe for their fans to buy a season ticket when they haven't a clue where the money will be ending up :confused:
It will be interesting to see how many they do sell as next season when their team won't be full of over paid players who were actually above average SPL players.
A fachan ersehole more like.Quote:

If you remember, The Rangers were still operational (and losing money) during administration whilst avenues were explored to put together a rescue package. It would be the same for Hearts, they could play on during administration whilst avenues were explored. Creditors would only receive money if an agreement couldn't be reached to come out of administration and only when remaining assets were sold.Quote:

(I know its liquidated, but liquidised sounds much more fun to watch)
But surely Hearts on a realistic player budget could be self-sufficient playing at, say, Livingston with crowds of 7-8,000?Quote:

The club would be financially crippled from the start but ought to survive. Just!
But hearts wouldn't be in administration its ubig. Hearts could still limp on till the end of the season as long as they keep paying the bills. Its not until the whole mess that is ubig gets unravelled will hearts fate be decidedQuote:

I think the difference to Rangers is that HMRC are in the minority this time around so it could be down to UBIG/UKIO to prevent liquidation.
Would the domino effect not continue Ukio want money owed from Ubig hell we are skint Hearts can pay us back ,what your skint too! Well its admin\liquidation all round.Quote:
