I agree that its going to be very hard for Hearts to continue without some form of financial handicap, but they have a turnover of around at least 7 million (it was 7 million in 2003/4 and a lot more in 2008). They can soak up some form of repayment plan - to whomever - and still operate as a football club.
Id be delighted to see them go the way of Rangers, and would be just desserts, but I just dont buy into the certainty that some have.
So they owe Ukio 15 mill from a loan, and UBIG 8 mill of which the stadium is secured for......so really even after todays news its no difference from any other day until we know / hear what happens to UBIG? ............................Quote:

As has been discussed several times on this thread, all of UBIG's assets have been frozen. UBIG are Hearts' Majority shareholder, therefore, Hearts cannot be sold.Quote:

UBIG at some point in the not too distant past used Tynecastle as a £15m security on loans from UKIO to UBIG.
Beyond that I have to admit that I am lost as to the implications of what is getting played out in Lithuania and how things directly affect Hearts ability to continue in their current form.
I kinda get the impression though, that if administration kicks in it is down to their own inability to pay their bills, rather than getting taken down by anything that is currently going on in Lithuania. :dunno:
Who in what universe would give up £4-5 million for the basket case that is Hertz? FOH who seem to be the liveliest group of dafties have got the square root of nowt. Is it going to be the Queen of Hearts Anne (Gloag) that wee Eck sends in or just some random cardigan wearing mouthpiece from Corstorphine?Quote:

Where does he say this? It would be quite something if this were true - a statement that they mean to carry on if at all possible, is how I see it. If it's been paid.Quote:

My understanding is that that is the amount owed to UKIO, either by them or UBIG. The £15m is probably the "facility", ie the maximum HMFC could go to on their overdraft.Quote:

What today has cleared up is the confirmation of UKIO's administration. That means that their administrator will come for Tynie.
Other than that, you're right, not much has changed.... except that sphincters are moving much more quickly than they were yesterday.
Okay, humour me.Quote:

As owners they would be responsible for the upkeep of said khasi - they would have to deal with the safety aspect and safety upkeep, the asbestos management complete with regular health and safety inspections, the Council tax complete with arrears etc etc.
They would be doing Hearts a huuuuuuge favour by agreeing to taking that lot on.
A further aspect is that Hearts, along with paying the rent would also be expected to service the debt (which seems to be split between both UBIG and UB(r.i.p.). No this is heresay but I've heard from several sources that Hearts have never once paid any interest on the debts accrued during Mr Romanov's tenure, he merely added onto the debt thereby increasing said debt and ironically making the interest higher. There's no doubt that if the nice Lithuanian Administration People :not worth were kindly enough to allow that rape clan to continue living in their lean-to at a set rent they would also want their pound of flesh re the set interest payments.
Add in the HMRC debt and the normal running costs of just merely being a Football Club they just wouldn't be able to cut.
No way are the going to bend over for HMFC like that - admin, liquidised, sell off the **** that isn't nailed down and some that is - HMFC kaput.
yes.Quote:

Cant see that happening and the stadium is a liability anyway. 1 stand is ready to be condemned therefore anyone wanting to keep the Stadium as a ongoing issue will also need to invest £6 million to replace it - Better off as new affordable housing :greengrin:greengrinQuote:

Not necessarily.Quote:

Brian McLauchlin said on Radio Scotland earlier today that this ruling (freezing UBIG assets) has been appealed. As the article says, they had 7 days from the date of ruling (12 April) to appeal.Quote:

i would even go as far as reckon that if hearts did fold. they would magically find an ancient Gold burial ground below the stadium !! and that after paying off the debts and buliding a new stadium.. they would still end up having 50million or so to spend whilst working their way up from the bottom.. :cb
bit much i know.. but :greengrin
