They've certainly been fleeced, the question is whether they'll ever get bits of paper to prove it.Quote:

On a slightly separate note my local Jambo received his season ticket renewal on Saturday. They are offering a ticket for £300 (by the end of March rising to £340 in April then £360 after that) in the "Main" stand. Interest free credit for 4 months but you have to pay a fee of £20.00 to qualify for this so it isn't really free or 10 months 19%. Finally no credit cards accepted, wonder why?.............................................. ...............The fool is renewing as he isn't willing to pay an extra £60 later in the year and run the risk of losing his seat he has had for umpteen years.
Got a letter on sat am from a scott findlay of edc informing me that hertz aim to be the proud holders of both the sc and the lc at the same time. Then all about their victory parade route. Replied to him personally today......GIRUY ya hertz fud..Why have you not closed that death trap of a stand ?
It seems to be practically impossible, even for people within the club, to work out exactly who is in charge. This state of confusion will only intensify until somebody in Lithuania comes out with a procedure for the disposal of the assets.Quote:

The big worry for them must be any criminal investigations into money laundering and illegal activities within the (former) Romanov empire, of which the club is a part. This has the potential, surely, to hold up any future restructuring of the club and disposal of its assets. To my mind, this is the nightmare scenario, a potential transnational 'Third Lanark' situation, where the (groundless) club are de facto frozen out of the game indefinitely as a series of legal proceedings, appeals and counterclaims run on, with the sole objective of keeping main players out of prison for as long as possible.
He only Tweeted that because he was told to by David Southern. If he was a proper journalist he wouldn't just be chasing that up, he'd be asking the awkward questions that their fans are too scared to ask.Quote:

It's maybe hard to compare because there was no interweb when they were in their prime, but were John Fairgrieve and Stewart Brown this useless, or is it a modern thing? :dunno:Quote:

You know if they had any baws about them they would just take over! There is nothing Romanov nor his flunkies can do at the moment because they have no shares nor remit to be there!Quote:

FOH should do a hostile takeover and simply run the club! What legally, could Vlad or Fed do?? Be better for FOH to take over and do the right thing rather than the scenario of the season ticket money going walkies! And, I would expect, the Lithuanian bank and authorities would be OK with it - to a degree!
Anybody and idea if Hibs have been paid the ticket money from the last derby by the cheats and stealers
Sure I read they had until Wednesday?Quote:

Anyone know what hibs would do in the event of non-payment? I assume go through the spl/sfa rather than the courts?Quote:

Have a feeling about this presser. Don't want to get my hopes up though.
Merchandise from a cup victory would have been huge to them as would another derby, Hibs really have to focus on getting that top six place.Quote:

Riiiiiiight
If it all went pop it would their tough titty, cannae think of a single good reason for our club tae risk losing money tae help out cheats and overspenders, that no sticking anything in, that's good business and looking efter our own interests. They made their bed, let them ****in' lie in it.Quote:

My ideal scenario is that Hibs issue them with a winding up order, triggering administration and the 18 point penalty. They then go to ER on the last day of the season needing only a draw to stay in the SPL....
...I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this :wink:
I think the Hearts shop is contracted out to someone else so I'd be surprised if they made anything from merchandising.Quote:

The Bosnians are going to Nationalise his Alumina Plant/Jewel in the crown and the the financial investigators have been all over his flat. :thumbsup:
Well, thats what the google chrome translator says.
:greengrin 99% accurate commentary, but is it worth mentioning that you can watch it all go down the pan in 3D only at tiny? the first club ever to do so :greengrinQuote:
