You are in the silent-ish majority like me...

Don't think the next vote needs to be 'in attendance' so an abstention would be a NO?
It's conditional on them getting the UBIG shares which are subject to their liquidators who act on behalf if the Lithuanian Tax Payer. UBIG own the PBS - the only real asset so they won't give that up for sweeties - they'll get the max for the swindled Tax Payers
Sorry if this has been posted already but from this it seems there is still a way to go, what about his fat smug face ?.

Pledge to the Stop, Jambos. Rightly Tease the Ogres fund. In a bid to buy the shares
SJRTO for short.
So, if I'm reading this right .....
Ukio have accepted the £2.5m bid to cover their claim on the stadium
(still not sure exactly how much of that BDO will take)
UBIG are now saying "if you want us to vote for this then we want money for our shares"
(will that be about the same amount, it would seem thats why the begging bowl is out again)
will they be able to cobble another £2.5m together by February ?
I'm just happy I didn't pay a tenner to find this out. champagne and cigars I've been hearing, Deary dear lets face it people no one on this board has a clue what's going on, it's all just guess work.
P.s I've got 5 million pounds waiting for one lucky member just pm me your bank details sort code expiry date etc and the winner will be announced in the next week
The £10 folk give is for the running of the site and added bonus of info before it becomes public knowledge. Some people do know more than others so that's also wrong.
You are coming across a bit of an arse to be honest. Unless you are at the wind up and haven't added a smiley face. If so I take this back.
I don't know what is going to happen but it seems pretty clear they are going to get out of this early next year. The hurdles are being slowly but surely cleared. If so they have got away with murder and they are very lucky that the principal that 'you own a pound and you have a probelm you own £30m and Lithuania has problem.'
There are many possible outcomes from this. The most likely (but not certain) is they are relegated. Not certain because, like it or not Hearts have a divine self belief/ delusion (we could learn a lesson) and a couple of wins and they will really put pressure on Killie. Further Killie could go into admin themselves. So hearts relegation is likely but far from a certainty in my view.
If Hearts go down they will probably come straight back up (via the play offs) but with little cash. With FoH running them there is likely to acrimony, poor leadership and mediocrity. Fan groups sound nice but committees don't work in my view, especially undercapitalised ones) However it is likely FoH will flounder as I doubt the direct debits will flow through. At that point it is very possible some 'businessman' will seize the opportunity and buy them for a song (however badly FoH do they will only have very modest millions of debt by then with the rest written off). Like it or not they remain a decent franchise and a new owner could be anyone from some rich Saudi princeling to some third rate car salesman in Linlithgow. We just don't know.
What is for sure unless they can find their princeling there purchase 'success' is over, although not their arrogance I suspect.
I couldn't care if they survive or not now. As if they do they really will be piss poor and the fair weather fans will disappear. Hearts to me have already died in the shape and form we have grown to know.
They will be bottom 6 no doubt if they do come right back up. To me it could be a lot funnier watching them take a few doings and struggling than going pop altogether. :greengrin
From KB. Words fail me.
Ripping off charities with no recrimination.
:verysmug:
We should start charging marie curie to stand in the enclosures from now on aswell.
60/40 split plz.
Tbh i lost interest in this whole situation quite a while ago.
Getting any kind of credible info has been nigh on on impossible. That's no disrespect to guys like CWG and Caversham etc, they done a fantastic job of explaining complex accounting laws and procedures to dummies like me but pretty much everything that was going on in Lithuania was impossible to predict and it looks like the admins across there just want rid of the Hearts 'problem' asap.
Let Hearts fans have their wee bit of fun. They won't be out of admin for a while yet and will have to learn what it's like to deal with the realities of the financial climate in Scottish football these days. Too many of the younger generation of Hearts fans have never known them live within their means and they'll get bored of shelling out cash to watch a team that's a true reflection of their situation soon enough. I hope that many of the older generation of Hearts fans are a bit more humble about this situation, they should be embarrassed really, ripping off charities and local businesses isn't big or clever. I doubt it though. The Mercer, Robinson and Romanov years seems to have warped them into a shower of arrogant, ignorant and shameless erseholes.
Anyway what happens will happen. I'm a Hibs supporter and i'll be concentrating my energies on backing Hibs. Let those ***** worry about and deal with their own mess.
CVA conditionally agreed :fuming: ;-)
2nd meetings taking a while?
Stevie I think that was always going to be the case... I wanted them wiped out but heay ho they will be in Admin until Feb. remember what BDO said as well about them only have enough money until March.
They are rooked with no money and are in Admin. There is still the 30 day cooling off period. A lot can happen in that time.
O and for all you smug yams looking in enjoy your new found saviours for the time being..., it won't always be like this.
Remember this - you will always be the club with no shame.... Youve ripped into the heart if your community, stole from your own and robbed a charity (use) of their monies. Enjoy
Jamie Borthwick @jamiekborthwick 51s Members agree to the CVA with 100% in favour. Second stage of Hearts exiting administration is complete #heartscva
Haha!
So all those with so-called inside information from Lithuania were just kidding us on.
Well done lads!!
UBIG abstain again, with all other shareholders in favour. 30 day cool off period now begins. #heartscva
if ubig abstain then they haven't agreed to sell the shares, how does this play out?
They can now sign players in January? Hahaha this is unbelievable!
I'm still very confused by all of this - share issue in particular. Looking for a quick answer, now that the CVA has been agreed, does this mean it's set in stone that they'll be out of administration and also is liquidation only a wish now?
From kickback :faf:Quote:
SteveHFC, since you're obviously reading this thread, I want you to know that you are a fool.
I know theres a lot of posts going on, but the post earlier on the stages is quite clear no?
Stage 5 is completing deal in required timescale.
Stage 4 is sale and purchase agreement
Stage 3 is securing shares from UBIG.
Stage 2: 100% pass
Stage 1: CVA - first stage passed at 87% of vote.
So, until UBIG have their own creditors meeting (late January), we probably won't know what will happen with the shares until then I guess?
Jackson: "This is a good result but we have some way to go before the deal is concluded"
it is possible UBIG's admin doesn't feel he has enough information to vote either way. They can't do anything just now anyway
They aren't out of admin yet so no, they can't. The ban on signing players in January is a fixed ban, it will not be lifted. The earliest Hearts can sign players is February 1st and that is only if they are out of Admin by then which is still unlikely despite today's events.
All thats happened today is their CVA has been agreed.
No shares have been transferred
FOH don't own hearts yet
Hearts are still in administration
They can't sign players
They are still on -3 points.
The thing to keep an eye on now is UBIG. Why did they abstain from both votes today? Are they up to something? Are they just not in a position to do so? UBIG are Hearts majority shareholder, the ball is in their court now. UKIO have given up there leverage.
Adomonis of Ukio admins: "I should admit the fact that our decision has a substantial part of emotion in it" #heartscva
WTF?
Pathetic.
Can someone who understands what all this means please let us know i for one dont have a clue what is going on.
Yep.
1. UKIOS, according to all sources, were always going to approve the CVA. This has simply been ratified today.
2. But it means little until UBIG also approve the CVA.
3. UBIG currently have their shares frozen by the Lithuanian government - so are not in a position to approve/reject the CVA.
4. Indications are, were they/when/if they are in a position to do so, they will be a lot less sympathetic than UKIOS.
The CVA is only really 'approved' subject to 2, 3 & 4, so behind the yam semantics, it is not approved at all.
What we shall see now is a wildly optimistic crowing from Gorgie, with spokespersons for FOH and the Scottish media talking about a 'timetable for the exit of administration' which they can't possibly know, as this is, and has always been, subject to the on-going investigations by the Lithuanian authorities, which may result in the unfreezing of UBIG shares, and, also, a positive decision on the CVA made by UBIG administrators.
If the investigations are concluded swiftly, and UBIG admins sympathetic to Hearts plight, FOH will claim it as a great victory. (Then they will **** themselves, quickly realising that they have an unworkable business model to finance an SPL club). If they drag on, and/or the UBIG admins are hostile to the CVA, there will be grumblings this winter at how they are being 'pushed to the brink of extinction' by anonymous foreigners.
Either way, it remains completely out of their hands. Basically, today was a pretty meaningless vote other than a symbolic 'bread-and-circuses' morale boost for the Jambos. The December fixture card, and (hopefully, though we don't know) on-going protracted investigations by the the Lithuanian government and/or a hostile UBIG admin, should tarnish that gloss somewhat.
Some trolling getting done in here like. PB's been quoted quite a bit in Brokeback... They are back to their jovial ways 1902 5-1 blah blah.
But as I've earlier said they will always be the club that robbed charities and local business's and didn't pay their way.., cheated their way to this and that.
For you all looking in .... Still a long way to go for the club with no shame.
C'mon uncle Boab get yur finger oot and scupper their plans.
My money is on their hands being tied by the frozen shares. I'm sure they would be happy to react, either positively, or negatively if they could. However, as you perhaps suggest, they might be playing a longer ball game, which could only involve the PBS, as Hearts sole real asset.
I think that there might be a number of other parties wanting to get their grubby paws on the shares as as your rightly mentioned Bob it's their only real asset.
UBIG probably know this and there might even be a bidding war In which we know the FOH won't be able to bid anymore in cos they are rooked.
It is still a case of tick tock for me
Guys cheer up, It's friday, we're Hibs fans, we're no them, we haven't robbed anyone, we can hold our heads high, we don't don't cheating.
Really hope I make it onto jobbieback with this :greengrin
BBCBMcLauchlin @BBCBMcLauchlin1m
Hearts administrator Bryan Jackson tells BBC Scotland it will be March or April before club exits administration
Has anything actually changed from about 10 days ago that we didn't really know about? I dont think it has. We knew the Ukio admin team were going to accept the CVA. It was reported last week on here. Its now upto FOH to get hold of the UBIG shares.
Why did the UBIG admin team abstain their vote and not just accept the CVA and get away from the whole situation? Sounds to me they obviously want some cash for them. I reckon a few hundred grand will do it tbh. My question is, can anyone bid for these shares?
