Obama has been called away from a crucial meeting regarding Guantanamo Bay to discuss Hearts' financial plight and the political ramifications with his chiefs of staff.
Talking of politicians, the Ian Murray MP story in the EEN is hilarious. Barry Anderson reckons that the administrators might accept £2Million to buy the debt - thereby leaving the fans owning an entirely debt free club.
£2M? Aye right - it sounds a great wheeze, and one which I am sure will be accepted with ease by these Lithuanian dummies, none of whom will have as many financial qualifications as our Barry of course.
None of us knows what will happen - but I really cant see any professional administrator letting it all go for buttons - and even if they do, the ongoing HMRC / stadium bills should ensure that they cant really outspend us for the foreseeable.
happy days indeed
Just wondering. Have the Huns tried to use this as evidence that Scottish Football faced armageddon without them yet?
As a bit of a yes Scotland man, I do look at the remarkable amount of time this Scottish Westminster mp has to basically play at being the next BBC Apprentice over in eh11.
Not exactly overworked, are they?
For as long a HoMFC stay out of administration they are declaring themselves to be a going concern - i.e. able to meet their debts as they fall due. While The Ukio liquidator might offer a discount for early settlement he would be failing in his basic duties if he accepted £2m for a £15m debt from a going concern. They would have to enter administration and admit insolvency for him to accept a significantly lower offer.
Incidentally, this debt was not in place when the share offer document was published, so how have they managed to rack up £15m worth of debt since last October if they're really self-sufficient?
Its amazing to see how many votes UKIP received during the local elections down south, surely Nigel Farage must have pledged that his party would do all they could to save Hearts from financial armageddon by sending those pesky Lithuanians home which resulted in multitudes of the 400,000 turning out down south to support his party.
On the contrary, it has cost STF a fair few quid to maintain his involvement with Hibs. The significant difference between him and the likes of David Murray or Vladimir Romanov is that the money he has spent, albeit reluctantly, has actually been his in the first place.
B list politician finds something to do which might, just might raise his profile a bit with some of the thickoes he is meant to represent so long as he can keep the issue and himself in the limelight.
Much easier than quietly and effectively serving the interests of everyone you have been elected to represent. Anyone know where he stands on the trams and what he's been saying and doing about it? much more relevant to and potentially expensive than what is at best a minority issue flowing from an overseas based company with a cocked up subsidiary.............
You get what you vote for.
Opinion pieces by Barry and Mark Donaldson have been concocted in fantasy land with no basis in reality. All solutions seem to have them shedding their debt with little impact because of political ramifications (aye right!). How editors let these views be exposed is mind boggling. Standards have dropped alarmingly.
This is how that works.....
#allisbarry #wecanworkitout #nothingtoseehere
That line is being taken as a sop to local creditors. The last they want is someone in Edinburgh taking a lead to claim monies due in court and fogging up their cash flow. Send out a line to them that #allisbarry otherwise there will a rush amongst the "little people" to claim what is due them, panic headlines would see it happen. Look at the list of small creditors conned by Rangers (r.i.p.) whilst they were putting out a line that #allisbarry. Hearts' will be smaller but similar.

stopped there cos it's to big to post
exactly, a boxing match with a knock out punch in the first round is a real disappointment. Let this go the full distance and it be decided on points after a vicious and bloody battle leaving them alive but unfit to do much more than just mumble on about how they used to be a contender!
A way out for the Yams ?
If, as was reported by the BBC, the Yams have paid the first £ 500,000 of the £ 1.5 million due to HMRC for their player loan scam, and they are up to date with other Tax, Vat, and NI bills. Do they think they might have a chance of Hector going long with a CVA proposal once Hearts are in administration.
Our Council won't vote against it, thats a certainty !
find it utterly incredible that Dylan the monkey can afford to extend his contract given their imminent demise. WTF is he thinking? Fool.
They are Adam Ant that they won't be going into administration.
Can any of our more tax/revenue/spend/compliance savvy contributors enlighten us as to how much working capital they need to have available and what for in order to be able to juggle things?
If the group in the wings were collectively sitting on a sum between £5 and £6 million how would that affect their options?
It wouldn't as UBIG's assets are still frozen so the shares can't be transferred to anyone. Hearts are forced to continue with the #StatusQuo at the moment. I've mentioned earlier in the thread, whilst it's highly likely Hearts will go pop, it's even more likely UBIG will go pop sooner.
Well, I'm with Murray the MP, AllIsBarry and Rolland (the scotsman commenter) Rat on this one. Serious political pressure WILL be brought to bear to ensure the survival of Hearts.
What you lot don't seem to appreciate is that the security of Europe, nay the World, depends on a stong Hearts. Over here in Germany, they are secretly re-arming, in the knowledge that the only organisation that stopped them winning the LAST two world wars may soon be defunct.
They know, as I'm sure everyone else does, that without hearts to save us once again, the Germans WILL be victorious this time.
You have been warned!!!
I see Hearts reporting of their financial results has been hidden away on their website on a Saturday morning with so much spin that I'm dizzy.
Debts of around £25 million (a year ago) being embraced by the masses as 'great news' on their twitter feed...
https://twitter.com/pieandbov/status/330627499144933376
Lost £1.65M in a year with a cup win, a European tie against Spurs and selling Lee Wallace for £1.5M.Quote:
Hearts report "improved" financial results for 2011-2012, losing £1.65m in the period and with net debt position standing at £24.7m
http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/articles/2...241384_3166005
Reporting 1.96 m transfer gain.
To be fair, on the plus side for them, a lot of the high earners will be out of contract and be gone from the next accounts, should they still exist.
