so they're no deid yet :grr:
Lithuanian central bank starts official bankruptcy proceedings against UB after administrator determines $463 million hole in balance sheet. Means they will start selling assets against unrecoverable loans (Hearts whose loan expires in the summer). May not be unlinked to the Twitter rumour as administration would give some protection or rather time against seizure of Tynecastle and Romanov's shares for sale and give time to find buyer or somewhere else to play.
So another non story?
This makes some sense to me, if it is a move to prevent the assets (well the pink bus shelter really, it's the only asset) being swiftly sold out from under them. However I expect they'll blindly stumble on in hope of a miracle rather than face up to the fact they are insolvent and daffy ducked.
Below is a series of tweets posted this evening by Ewan Murray, which I've made a complete dog's breakfast of trying to copy and paste. Does anyone know what he's on about ?
"Ewan Murray@mrewanmurray1h
@StewartGilmour1 Stewart, is it not odd that Richard Atkinson, a director of SMFC, can be Supporters Direct's man "inside" Hearts talks?
Richard Atkinson's group failed with a takeover bid at St Mirren, as per here http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19595121 … ... is a director of St Mirren...
Yet can turn up at meetings such as last Friday with Hearts supporters bodies as Supporters Direct's man related to a Hearts takeover?
In short, Hearts' attempted moulding of a supporter, ahem, "buy out" is spurious. As I reckon will be proven pretty soon."
Let me get this right, if Hearts accounts are signed off on the basis that Ukio Bankas support them financially and then Ukio Bankas go bankrupt then Hearts should be in no condition to survive/trade/be solvent?
The silence from journalists on this matter is deafening. You would expect, given how much it's been discussed on Twitter that at least one would say "No truth in that rumour" or similar. My guess is that they know what's coming but don't want to jump the gun for fear of getting the same treatment as STV.
Tomorrow could be very interesting
Not sure but rumour has it Hearts have asked the question about administration due to being safer with UK based administrators than what would happen should UBIG go down, it would be dangerous should they be under Lithuanian control.
2nd point is the massively reduced ticket prices, it screams desperately needing any cash whatsoever, when have they ever reduced ticket prices to such an extent, they normally ask top
Dollar.
Any administration of HMFC would have to be done in accordance with UK law. Accordingly, pretty sure it would have to be a UK-based Insolvency Administrator.
The administrator would, of course, still have to deal with the administrator(s) of UKIO and, presumably, UBIG.
The amount of detail in this rumour suggests there's something brewing. To have a name for the Administrator makes me think that things are moving.
If an administrator has been appointed then I would expect something imminently, purely for logistical reasons.
No smoke without fire. They are up to something over there. Think the Dundee result put a bit of a spanner in the works imo
Suppose they might've been hoping to be clear enough of Dundee by now to safely take the hit. Maybe the plan has always been to shaft HMRC before the May instalment and they've just waited hoping Dundee would have given up by now?
So if Barrys to be trusted its AGM in the morning and share certificates posted oot in the afternoon!
Little look over at Kickback to see what their views are and the thread of most concern is... "5-1 around the world" with the rumours not getting any airtime at all. I know all is Barry but you would expect some kind of acknowledgement. Ostriches are beginning to get a bad name.
