Curious appointment,I wonder if there is a strong reason why they didn't employ a new member of staff:cbQuote:

So what's the latest?
Are they going bust, or is it another in a long line of pipedreams?
One yam I spoke to on Thursday thinks they will end up with all debt cleared!
That's one way to look at Sevco Yams.Quote:

A deal between Supporters Direct and Romaov could be concluded for the start of the new season
BBCBMcLauchlin@BBCBMcLauchlin
Foundation of Hearts also having "constructive dialogue" with Supporters Direct and could work together in deal.
Minus Tynecastle I presume as that is no longer in his gift?Quote:

Romanov does not have the power to just clear/forgive the debt anymore...Quote:

Coincidence this story gets leaked on day Vlad is due to attend his first game in months?
Very poor reporting, not so much that research hasn't been done, a short term memory would be enough to confirm that Vlad is not in hte game any more! maybe the BBC even reported how it came about! The other organisations don't ahve a pot to piss in unless they have a friendly bank or other lender!Quote:

There are very few weeks coming up now where income exceeds expenditure/liabilities and their remit can't be to subsidise a loss making entity or prop up an owners ego by writing off any more debt or providing any new money. Evidence of this was the recent managerial appointment - nothing more than cutting out the cost of McGlynn from the projected liabilities and covering it with a cheaper version that was already on the books and dealt with the problem short term - as short as till after the Cup final is the question?
Are you surprised - it is tweeted by a Hearts supporting 'journalist' after all. Big Brian needs to lay off the haribo, he's clearly sugar rushing - Hearts are going to the wall and he's not got the guts to really investigate it.Quote:

Vlad's just buying himself some time here. That is, of course, if he's even involved in any of this at all. It looks and sounds to me like it's just been plucked out of thin air.
This is the leak for the masses not to turn on the team after the **** get walloped to-day. I did mention in previous posts this week that F.O.H allegedly had a meeting planned with the Scandinavian lot but the scandies pulled the plug. I also mentioned that the **** hordes believe they will escape debt free as clad will clear this IF they win to-day. I think after next week when they lose to-day and their league game the plug will be pulled and admin beckons.
Am I right in thinking that even if Vlad sells his shares in the club the debt will remain? I thought the debt is now with another party as his bank has went bust?

Could this be the administrator? It won't be anything to do with him though, surely :confused:
Vlad doesn't own the shares. UBIG do.Quote:

He could, conceivably, be authorised by the UBIG Board to negotiate with a potential buyer. After all, he has a better knowledge of the issues than the new Board.Quote:

Does UBIG have a new Board yet ?Quote:

I know UBIG aren't done yet, but presumably the Liths have their eye on their comings and goings?Quote:
