They have obviously spent all the season ticket money collected so far so have nothing left to pay for this tax bill & wages in June, July & August unless they get more season tickets sold.
Think those who have not re-newed their season ticket are worried the money disappears down some black hole, there is no way out of this for them it's just a case of when not if they go t*t's up.
Come the 17th june they should be relagated and made to ground share wi Livi.
If they can afford it, that is.
They certainly shouldn't be allowed to start the SPL season if the other 11 teams don't think they can complete it.Quote:

What a farce. They can't keep expecting us to help pay the tax man. Pinilla owes us big time, can he not give us £100k?
Kickback is pretty great at the moment.
The time for them to do this would of been years ago, but they opted to take it up the ass enjoying small success along the way (although nowhere near as much as the money should/could of brought them). Now they have no option but to sit back and watch events unfold, chucking in their spare pocket money in every now and then to keep the charade going a little while longer. This is payback... **** the HeartsQuote:

Read the thread over there about this latest tax bill - they're arguing about the legacy of 5-1. They're close but the penny hasn't quite fully dropped. Hehe.
They still keep throwing in the "we are nearing being self sufficient" line, Yet, there are immediate payments due and late - and they admit they are living basically month to month.Quote:

It's sad enough there was no toys under xmas trees down gorgie way last year, now the poor wee lambs won't have a summer holiday :-(
Pleasing.
If, and it's a big if, they make it to next season. I'm very much looking forward to Hibs making a mockery of them on the park.

As somebody previously touched on. Should they not be deducting PAYE/NI from the gross wage amounts and just giving it to the tax man? Does 'getting hit with a bill' suggest they're spending the PAYE money on other things?
(Might be a daft question.)
They don't have a penny.Quote:

There are a few odd things about this story though, I've already mentioned the due date for PAYE being the 19th/22nd of the month, not the 3rd as is being stated in the press and if the amount really includes bonuses for the season, £100,000 seems very low to me.Quote:

I might be mistaken but I have the feeling the penny is dropping (very slowly mind you) with them over there, of course we all know about their plight but it really makes me laugh when they start quoting "that" game, wee team, hobbos, 1902 and all that guff, it seems that rather than get off they're arrogant lazy butts and do something about it they hide behind these silly quotes.Quote:

Unfortunately for them Hector decides to do a spot check and finds the short payment and demands his cash.
Of course it might all be part of an advertising ploy to promote Wonga ! :greengrin
"Wilson was paraded last week after leaving Liverpool and the 21-year-old admitted he sought assurances from the Hearts hierarchy over the club’s financial future before penning a deal.Quote:

I can't believe they would have lied to him.
Could he have the right to cancel the contract himself then?Quote:

Nah, because they need to report amounts due and paid to the SPL, and HMRC would have not given them any leeway if they were brazenly trying to scam them. I'm sticking by my "MSM muddling up PAYE and VAT" theory.Quote:

I dont know they didnt win many games. :greengrinQuote:

Great article, just a few thoughts.Quote:

2. As other posters have pointed out PAYE is a deduction from salaries due to HMRC. By using this money to pay other bills its effectively what was known as a "teeming & lading" fraud, or more correctly, theft!
3. The DR article today says "previously & without any help from Lithuania Hearts managed to deal with the issue". Presumably the Lith owners floating a share issue which raised £1mm doesn't count as help? The shares of course are like Brian Kerr, invisible but doing great work!
IMO the SPL must be close to acting now. The last thing they want is to have to throw Yams out after season plans, inc fixtures have been made. I think their comments re the DW transfer are first clear signs of discontent.
Wouldn't work with VAT either. It's payable by the 7th these days.Quote:

Other than that, I am scoobied.

Hope they catch up with 'Mr Romanov' soon, I think it'll be very interesting to hear exactly what went on with him over the years. Crook
