He really is a fud. For years we've had to put up with their ***** whilst they've been lording it over us in derbies and stopped us from winning 2 scottish cups while they've been spending millions they never had in the first place. Their attitude and arrogance has got a lot worse in this time (big team/wee team pish) I hope they're wiped off the face of the universe. They must be punished for this and admin should only be the start. **** themQuote:

Now obviously for Hearts that means something very different to any other footall club and would include bankruptcy, fraud and any number of other financial misdemenours...

Not sure if it's already been posted but here's hearts official statement...
http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/articles/2...241384_3162316
Business as usual :faf:
The tone of this statement suggests that there is a lot of truth in these rumors, they don't even try to deny it. Compare it to the last statement they came out with after the STV report which sounded a lot more aggresive
When they are told to play the u16s at the weekend you will know. :greengrinQuote:

A wee birdie tells me that businesses owed money have received a call from Hearts this morning to assure them that allisbarry (so please don't take us to the small claims court) and you'll get your money.
They're just not getting it right now :greengrin
100% agree with this!Quote:

Whenever the rumours start and the truth looks about to break out the hearts board roll out tits like fat robbo or mackay to tell the fans everythings :aok:, this has been a much used PR tactic for them over the years. And the sad thing is time and time again the fans believe it because of their unbelievable delusion and arrogance!
I have a warm fuzzy feeling stirring in my loins.
Agreed.Quote:

hmm last time one of these stories cropped up they completely denied it and threatened legal action, looks like there is definitely more too it this time!!Quote:

So hibs are going to hampden and hearts are going to be in admin. There must be a song in there? Na na na na.
Was just thinking the same. Last time they seemed far more shocked at the allegations and like you say, where so adamant that it was false they even threatened legal action. This statement seems to be a lot more shady.Quote:

Bit of luck we will be shouting "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday" at them tomorrow. The sub is sinking!
My loins are stirring with the passion of a thousand burning suns.
Hopefully DNR is written on their chart as the life support machine will be switched off soon!
If Hearts are due to pay HMRC tomorrow and don't have it then they are likely to move to admin today rather than wait for HMRC to appoint their own administrator tomorrow?
Here's hoping.
I love ripping these apart into their component parts so lets do it again with this one.
Somebody has been reading the Sun or been on TwitterQuote:
The club has been made aware of rumours concerning the possibility of administration.
I do everything in my power to win the lottery every week, doesn't mean it happens. The second part we already knew, it doesn't need to be noted as its an irrelevance right now.Quote:
The club will continue to do everything within its power to trade normally. It should be noted that Hearts has not required or received additional funding from UBIG or Ukio Bankas in over a year and is servicing its existing debt.
They keep changing their minds between being self sufficient, and heading towards it. You can't be both at the same time.Quote:
The club is completely up to date with player salaries and taxes and the club continues to head towards operational self sustainability.
Read: Giving them all away at greatly reduced prices.Quote:
This has been made possible by reducing operating costs while continuing to focus on increasing revenues through season ticket sales, match ticket sales, merchandise, hospitality and sponsorship.
The general business plan for a football club then, what they don't mention is their "clubs health and viability" is dependent on what happens in Lithuania and whether or they can pay the tax bill, get accounts signed off, etc.Quote:
While the general economic and Scottish football marketplace conditions remain challenging, Hearts is focussed on meeting its requirements as a business and a football club. The club's health and viability continues to be dependent on successful player identification, development and trading, careful cost control and building revenues.
"Please don't stop giving us money, we're desperate!"Quote:
With the continued support of the Heart of Midlothian fanbase, the club has an opportunity to continue stabilising and then building for the future.
--
The whole piece actually does nothing towards assuring anyone reading it that they are not going into administration. What it does do however is give a long list of things that "need" to happen and reads like them laying the groundwork to say "Well look at what we had to deal with".
Compare that with the wording of the statement last time these exact same rumours started swirling, courtesy of STV. Here's some snippets.
Quite the difference in handling of what is essentially exactly the same situation.Quote:
"Heart of Midlothian FC vehemently refutes media claims" - "lacks any sort of foundation and is misleading in the extreme" - "Such erroneous stories cause distress not only to our staff but their families" - "We are sickened and disgusted by such unsubstantiated content" - "Articles such as this which have no factual basis, show a complete ignorance of the facts" - "It is a straight-forward shameless act to destabilise the club"
If the story about them having an administrator on stand-by is true this would be the reason - it's what the esteemed Mr Whyte did at Rangers.Quote:

From keekback.
"Have it on good authority that Hearts representatives are with HMRC at the moment trying to re-negotiate the tax deal as the funds are being held in Lithuania by the bank and HMFC do not have access to release the funds to HMRC... Source before you ask is a prevelant employee at HMRC.. "
