If Hertz go into admin and get relegated I'd miss the derby's but I want to see them suffer.
The general feeling I have seen on FB from Jamtards is they know its coming but want to make it through to June without being penalised.
I don't care how long it takes, even if they remain in SPL next season - as long as they suffer for their past, death by a thousand cuts will do me just fine.
Not for me, this whole process has taken too long. Die now and do it swiftly ! I want to have a party... :cbQuote:

What do you think will be the ultimate outcome in this Yam farce
Also does this mean that Ukio Bankas will now not be opening their fandabbydozy flagship branch in Castle St now :greengrin
I agree, this is the real issue here. :greengrinQuote:

My mates on FB are under the impression hearts will survive though... Deluded or is there a chance??
I am going to take a guess that
Hearts will be in the SPL next season
Hearts will still play at Tynecastle
They will go into Administration
This will end up a storm in a tea cup.
Going forward they may not own Tynecastle but I reckon an associated group will buy it on the cheap at some point and rent it back to Hearts.
The thing that is most farcical about this is is if administration happens after the end of the season it's actually not in Hearts interest to pick up any more points.
It'll be a 3rd of what they get this season, meaning that any games they win this season will mean a further point of next seasons total:confused:
I never make predictions without covering my erse with disclaimers and major insurance policies :greengrinQuote:

HMFC will not disappear. They may do a Sevco and crawl back into Division 3, or they may slip down the leagues into relative obscurity, but the commercial attraction of Hearts is not something that Scottish football will give up easily. That will stick in a lot of throats, and it does mine, but it's reality.
That said, the involvement of nasty Baltic liquidators is not something I have experienced before, so it could be much more clinical than that. Disclaimer 2.
The bit in bold is the interesting part of all of this, anyone know if they have had to do something akin to this to a football team in Lithuania?Quote:

If however club and stadium fall into different hands they may never recover as they would have to share with us or livi, costing them more money and then go into further massive debt to build a new stadium.
They need a fans/consortium buy out or a white knight - Tom Farmer type to save them. There will be someone with the money who did not want to deal with romanov but who knows that if he waits to the last second he would be able to get them for a song. In the long run buying Hibs cost Tom Farmer nothing and did his reputation and business no harm at all, plus it earned him a considerable amount of good will from one half of the city at least.
If I was a property developer I would not buy tynecastle as it would create a lot of bad blood for my business and would be tantamount to building on a grave.
- What value does Tynecastle hold other than a stadium? What could you build there with permission? If anyone linked to Hearts could find £2.5 million I would offer it to the relevant people in Lith and get the stadium. What is the point of anyone calling in the £15 million loan. It will be never be paid / cannot be paid. The Liths may as well try and get anything they can and move on.Quote:

Cala Homes offered to buy the land in 2004 ( see statement above)
In March 2013 this happened - House builder Cala Homes has been bought by private equity firm Patron Capital Partners and insurer Legal & General.
see statement below

I am no expert, but I would suggest that they would see the acquisition of Tynecastle for re-development at say half of what they originally offered as a steal in 2004. The administrators Valnetas will be aware of this if not I am going to e/mail this to them.
I predict HMFC won't play at Tynecastle for very much longer, their days are numbered, they are, just believe!!
Flats, as Cala would have done in 2004.Quote:

You might be right, I do remember a whiff (:greengrin) of that.Quote:

Money required to buy Hears and stadium is circa £10 million. Nobody could do that outside administration/liquidation as they would have to take debts as well. And nobody or any consortium has anywhere that amount of money.
I think we will end up see Hearts going into administration and then liquation. HMRC who are outside UB debt will want some of their money back.
Ground will be sold and fans consortium could by the club at £1-2 million and re-appply to enter SFL and rent Meadowbank. That is their best scenario!
How much would buying land and building new be? Where is land available near Gorgie?Quote:

I'm sure the local high school could do with some playing pitches. You'd get a decent sized rugby, hockey and even tennis facilities there. The local residents would no longer have a hulking great big pink stadium blocking sunlight into their gardens.Quote:

So who buys its and pays for all this??Quote:

I hope that makes them very angry....
