If they miss Novembers wages the committee probably won't meet up to discuss potential punishments until December though so i don't see that being a big problem to them.Quote:

I'd imagine any punishment will have been decided already with hearts being warned in advance.Quote:

Once it became abundantly clear that neither would come anywhere close to achieving said goal, they settled for simply trumping their greatest rivals and threw money that they didn't have at that - in Rangers' case it was spending a tenner to Celtic's fiver to win the domestic trophies, in Hearts' case it was playing the 'big' team card, outbidding us for players and dominating the derbies for the last 3 and a half years, sadly (for us) culminating in that day in May where the gap in spending (something in the region of £30M more in wages than us since Romanov's arrival) was exemplified in excruciating fashion.
Now the Hearts supporters are displaying the same staggering mix of ignorance and arrogance that many, many Rangers fans displayed (and still are), thinking that they are quite simply too big to be brought down and that they will carry on exactly as they are. As if May 2012 didn't hurt enough for us, imagine how ****ed Hearts would be if they hadn't won - less season tickets, no tie against Liverpool, home crowds even lower than they are. Now, they have been lucky to get yet another windfall from a cup tie against us.
Celtic would have been devastated to have missed out on putting Rangers under earlier by surrendering the three league titles to them (from 2008-09 to 2010-11) and seeing them win millions of pounds of Champions League money when they were on the brink - similarly, Hearts successes against us have helped prop them up for long enough. I could not bear to see us go through the double pain of losing AND missing the opportunity we have to cut off their last decent revenue supply this season.
We can hurt them really, really badly in December. Please let us do it.
I think they're on the case now. September's meeting took so long that it happened after October's missed payment but the October meeting happened pretty quickly after that.Quote:

:agree: The last accounts available were to 30 June 2011 and the brochure (it's a prospectus in all but name) uses figures from that throughout. Given that we're now 4 months after their year end date the very least they should be giving is a summary of what the 2012 accounts will show, even if the figures are unaudited.Quote:

Of course something may happen before then that will give us a good idea of how it went....Quote:

Lets hope this time the SPL don't meet till at least Dec 3rd and the 2 month ban will run through to Feb 3rd.

Couldn't agree more, if they'd sold even say 20% their PR spin would have been in full drive by now. Perhaps even the Yams realise that a £100 a donation to Vlad's charity is a no no & are keeping their paws in pockets!Quote:

IIRC the day the news broke about the tax case it was mentioned the hearing was in 11 days time. That would have made it yesterday. Does anyone have any more info?
Correction today. I wonder if the timing of Bumguts Blobbo's "serious serious trouble" appeal has anything to do with this.Quote:

I suspect it is in breach of the rules. A prospectus (or document in lieu of prospectus) is expected to give a picture of the current state of the issuing company's finances and 16 month old accounts clearly don't do that. I guess the saving grace is that the document doesn't claim that the shares are a good investment, although suggesting that a new state-of the-art stadium is even remotely viable strikes me as highly misleading.Quote:
