Have a look at the spl rules, they make reference of an intention of insolvency, I would say that ubig asking to be made insolvent is an intention?Quote:

At the moment there's still a way to go. Anyway, the turkeys get a temporary reprieve but Christmas is just around the corner.
No chance they are still in the financial mire and this only delays the inevitable, in many ways it's going to make it more enjoyable and will keep us entertained throughout the summer.Quote:

So they get to stay in the SPL. that is not a bad thing, you see they've sold 5k season tickets and are skint, I doubt they will make it to the new season, if they do and then go bust, it will more than likely lead to liquidation, which in my opinion is a better option than administration. The SPL and SFA will be shown up as the idiots they truly are the league will be a bit feked for a year while the bombsite that was hertz get sorted out, maybe we'll get some proper changes to the game, that it really needs.
Any one looking at the hertz situation can see it's a bomb waiting to go off, maist people would chuck said item oot the nearest windae, not the SPL, they hold onto it, just in case the fuse goes oot on its own. Brilliant :wink:
Fret not.Quote:

They are to all practical intents and purposes a twitching corpse
So if the Lithuanian courts declares UBIG insolvent/bankrupt can the SPL not relegate them retrospectively?
Whatever happened today didn't really matter although relegation would've been funny.
The whole process is already mapped out.
The Lith courts rubber stamp UBIG's insolvency.
SPL give Hearts a 14 point deduction before the season starts.
Hearts go into voluntary admin.
Secured assets are recalled by Lith government/administrator.
Hearts without a stadium and on negative points.
Agreed.Quote:

I preferred the thread title when it said SPL bottle it because that's the ****in' truth, shower of *****
Seen posts like that for the last few years, all turned out to be pish.Quote:

No huge list of buyers willing to buy the club is there?
The countdown continues.
Romanov is currently majority shareholder in Hearts, his assets have been frozen by Lith govt so no sale can take place at moment and it's unlikely his assets are going to be unfrozen any time soon. Ukio Bankas currently hold Tynie and the admins in Lith would probably see more value from selling the ground to a property developer than they would by selling it to someone who might come in and buy Hearts unless they are offering silly money.Quote:

Jamie Borthwick has his eye on the ball
Jamie Borthwick @jamiekborthwick
Interesting bit of precedence from Feb last year. SPL confirmed no 'sporting sanctions' until court appointed administrators to Rangers.
Jamie Borthwick @jamiekborthwick
"A notice of the intention to appoint administrators alone does not trigger the sporting sanctions..."
Jamie Borthwick @jamiekborthwick
"...it is the actual appointment of administrators which does."
This is not over and anyone who thinks it is, is kidding themselves. Once something actually happens at UBIG the SPL will be right back on this
And its a number they seem very keen on too :greengrinQuote:

The legal and business systems in each country are very different, so what happened in Lithuania has no exact equivelant here. The SPL have taken the easiest option, that they do not have enough evidence at this time that there was an equivelant to what would be considered under Scottish Law as an 'insolvency event'.
I think a lot of people on here that are so upset got what they wanted to happen mixed up too much with what the likely outcome would be. There's a lot still in the Hearts story yet, so no need to throw yourselves off the rooftops.
Been saying that since page 5 I think. I'll believe it now when I see it.Quote:

It's a bit of a technicality but I can see why the SPL have let them off for now.
They're still absolutely ****ed though. :aok:
Disappointed at Today's ruling, however, this is the start of the merrick's demise.....UBIG will be declared insolvent sometime soon in Vlad land, and there is not a snowball's chance in hell, of the merrick's being able to repay £15million big ones, by the end of next year......
Going to be interesting watching events unfold in Lithuania, and the ramifications for the Merrick's, IMO this has only just started....

I'd like to take back what I said earlier about Angelo Massone never being allowed near any other football club again.
He should be given the Tynecastle helm so he can run the *******s into the ground with no dubiety or uncertainty so the serial cheats are finally dealt with.
Agreed mate, people are forgetting that this particular chapter only opened on Thursday. Not getting a points deduction for "last" season doesn't change ANYTHING that happened before Thursday.Quote:

It was never going to happen today
The only precedent set during the the rangers saga was the amount of time it took to get the decision made
Anyone who convinced themselves they were getting relegated tonight was far too optimistic
I don't doubt for a second there is more to come though, and its going to get a lot worse before it gets better from them
