After a bit of trawling I have found an article that lists all the UBIG shareholders , in fact the actual owners of HOMFC.Quote:

The holdings are at 11/12/2012 and lists Vlad as having 16.9%, a company called Balmet with 26.8 %, and the Economy Bank with 17.3%.
Note , You need to click the article that says UBIG Board resigns and all the shareholders are noted at the end of the piece.
So, if Vlad has controlling interest in these other two companies he could effectively sell Hearts before UBIG has an insolvency event, yes?Quote:

Not really. Even majority shareholders don't have direct authority to carry out transactions for a company, they would have to instruct the directors to do it, and as we know, UBIG have no directors.Quote:

Truly beyond reason to suggest there is anything, architecturally speaking, resembling a corridor in that decrepit lean-to.
He's a reporter not a journalist. In his current job he reports on Pynkcastle's press releases for the EEN. No journalism required.

The suggestion that a deal could happen any time, let alone soon, doesn't stand up to even a fundamental bit of scrutiny.
:agree: admire your wording there,Matty. are you a cub reporter by any chance.? jimmy olsen-esque.
I tried to make a cup of tea tonight, but I put the water in a cup without a teabag and failed.
All very complex...
What I don't understand is how can they keep "reporting" that HoMFC are anywhere near self-sufficient when it is so blatantly untrue.
I've heard of freedom of the press but surely they are not free to publish blatant lies.
One thing that made a huge hole in their accounts was a vast sum that was spent on treatment for Craig Gordon to make him more attractive to potential buyers.
It's Topex. :agree:
The same way that they were happy to present debt forgiveness as income in order to report that the Yams made a profit (was that two years ago now?) when they'd actually had a multi-million pound operating loss.Quote:

There are reporters who will say that they are close to being self sustaining despite the fact that the club literally had to beg fans to put money into the club to make sure that a game (v St Mirren, IIRC) wasn't their last ever.
The reports also fail to consider that the share issue (if you remember, they needed £1.8m and every game from then til the end of the season to sell out) was the best part of a million pounds under-subscribed.
So, just under a million quid shy of survival, and that share issue was announced before the 'surprise' bill of *cough* £1.8m from Hector, so even more money to be found.
But #allisbarry of course. If you're a total f***tard, that is.
Read an interesting article In bloomberg which says it will be several months before ukios bankruptcy administrators might come calling on hearts to pay back borrowing or forfeit the stadium, according to the temporary administrator. Article written by bryan bradley
