SP2597RS HEART OF MIDLOTHIA SUPPORTERS SOCIETY LIMITED
Here is the list of Heart of Midlothian companies at Companies House. Both the top two seem to have strike off proposals against them.
As mentioned later, it is the Subsidiary. Hearts the football club do have one as well but that doesn't seem to have been published?Quote:

I reckon it has been a maximum of 4 weeks since the strike-off notice appeared.
As greenginger says the PLC is the football club. The striking off proposal probably relates to non-submission of accounts which were due on 31 December 2012. Companies House would normally give at least six weeks before starting the striking off procedure and another three awaiting a response from the company - that takes us to the beginning/middle of March, so greenginger's four weeks looks about right. It's possible that the notice hasn't actually been advertised yet - did anyone actually see it in the Gazette?Quote:

HOM 2005 Ltd was intended to be the holding company for the football club but 'Mr Romanov' changed his mind and moved the shares to UBIG. The accounts for 2011 were due on 30 April 2012 and the Gazette notice was published on 16 November 2012. I assume there must have been an objection or it would have been struck off by now.
The supporters society is a mutual/friendly company governed by the FSA rather than Companies House and is almost certainly completely independent of the others.
Any chance of this replacing Hector in the avatar pics?Quote:

Nothing has been reported to suggest otherwise so yes they probably have been paid. There is no reason why they shouldn't be getting paid for the next few months at least. Their season tickets went on sale last month and they've sold about 5000 so far apparently, which probably works out at around £1m.Quote:

As I like to see an Edinburgh team doing well, I'm posting this because it hurts me -though only slightly- to see Hearts playing second best to Rangers in the financial incompetence and corruption stakes. On this sort of form, any other season they would expect to be easy winners, but in Green, Whyte etc, Rangers have shown the ability to pull financial Albert Kidd's out of the hat almost at will.
C'mon Vlad and the gang, up your game. I still believe.

Whilst its obvious that Romanov is clearly very dodgy, its good to see that not only will his business empire be dead but he could well be doing time!!! Fingers crossed

I don't think that there's any doubt that working capital was subsidised by UKIO, and added to their debt, whilst large sums of money (Gordon transfer fee?) exited by the back door.Quote:

The ongoing process has probably the biggest potential to wreck Hearts for good. If assets are frozen during an investigation that lasts for years and the club can't be financed by the existing owners, or sold off to new ones, then we have a potential Third Lanark situation.Quote:

#allisbarry assured them that the certificates would be sent out in March...then corrected himself to say that they would be sent out prior to their AGM in April. Someone's telling porkies.
Someone's telling him porkies and he's passing them on without questioning.Quote:

All of this plus the security issue with their decrepit old stadium that is long overdue a makeover even if they were to somehow hold on to it. Take a look on brokeback though and there's no mention of any problems. Their heads are so far underground that they will be making an appearance in Australia shortly.Quote:

That is true, Sergey, but a much bigger problem is the fact that nothing can be sold at the moment. The longer that goes on, the less chance there is of any way out.Quote:

As if they were not already up against it.

They can't take over anything just now whilst assets are frozen
It certainly hasn't worked for the English team that wend down that route (Fleetwood I think) as they are staring administration in the face after their fans input dropped to around £1000 a month.Quote:

They don't have enough money up front to get anything going or they would of done so a long time ago.
