Not sure about your card company but mine is only on payments over £100 that are insured.

If Vlad is on the lam does that not make him a non fit and proper person to run a football club and by definition his club's membership of the once proud SPL defuncted?:greengrin
Taking the proverbial.

The SPL should be seriously embarrassed by Hearts continued 'activity' in the transfer market - it is, after all, the SPL's jurisdiction to regulate their activity.
In the papers yesterday, stating clearly that unless season tickets increase the may not be able to pay HMRC (again).
In the papers today making offers to ex-Championship/EPL
Other national FA's must be pissing themselves with laughter over this. Only one year after the omnishambles that is/was Rangers.
What a pathetic excuse for a regulatory body they are.
More players on high wages resulting in higher PAYE tax bills they can't afford to pay? Bring it on I say. These aren't bad news stories for people who want Hearts dead, they are the best stories you could hope for (other than "Hearts cease to exist) because this proves its all BS and they have no intention of cutting the wage bill. All they are doing is swapping the names round. The higher Hearts' outgoings, the less likely they are to survive. Even if they do make it to the start of the season, established players on high wages not getting paid on time will cause a far bigger stink than youth players :wink:
You don't want to believe everything you read in the papers, mate. The SPL can't take action on what the newspapers say Hearts are upto. Hearts would just make the counter-point that in the last week the press have also said they are self-sufficient and that they have every intention of paying the tax bill.
No, they certainly are not fine. Not even close.
Just because STV are linking them with players doesn't mean they will sign them. Even if they don't go bust soon they will have a hard job convincing players that Tynecastle is where they should play their football, especially with all that has come to light in recent weeks.
TBF to them, this story seems to be the players' agent drumming up interest in his players by dropping names of clubs that may be interested in them. Rather than them boasting of who they want (which would be reported by BAnderson).
The longer Vlad stays missing, the worse it potentially gets for them. Of course, if he shows up tomorrow, its still catastrophic.
Not if you read brokeback, some of them don't even think they'll get a points deduction :rolleyes: many predicting a 2nd place finish too, and 5 new signings, but to be fair there are some saying relegation, but only if they get the points deduction. Seriously deluded bunch of idiots. They seem to think that the club can be sold to an investor and escape with no consequences :agree:

We need to stay vigilant. I told the guys steering the punts in Cambridge to keep an eye out for a submarine lurking about the River Cam :lurksub:
I have been assured it's not deep enough but with Romanov anything is possible. I mean, just look at how he turned a pub team from Gorgie into Champions League Winners within 3 years...
Its a quote from an agent, we all know that lots of them spout more nonsense than Vlad himself, wouldn't pay too much attention to it
There is no guarantee with debit cards, your possibly thinking of the old cheque guarantee scheme.
If you use your debit card and something goes wrong you can try and claim the money back through a chargeback which is a voluntary scheme for debit cards that visa, MasterCard etc participate in.
Purchases on credit cards below £100 are under the same scheme but if you pay for something between £100 and £30k with your credit card it is insured under section 75 of the consumer credit act which means the card provider is jointly liable along with the retailer for the purchase and if anything goes wrong you can claim the cost of the purchase back through your credit card provider and you MUST be refunded in accordance with the legislation.
Sadly, as has been posted before, the SPL/SFA cant do anything until (a) there is no doubt it will win an appeal, and (b) they actively do something wrong, or (c) go bust/into admin/liquidation.
If they don't break rules, but merely bend them to within an inch of snapping, then they could offer Messi £300,000 a week to tempt him to some serious Champions League activity and it would be fine up to the point that he wasn't paid or they actively defaulted past their statutory obligations.
It would be worse if they jump the gun, even if we/they all know that the end-game is inevitable.
(Bear in mind also that the offer Hearts made could have been a salary of 2 Battenburgs and a coconut pyramid per week. The expectation of the agent to increase suggests their holding out for yum-yums and Belgian biscuits as a minimum).
"All right, listen up, people. Our fugitive has been on the run for more than 24 hours.
Average foot speed over uneven ground barring injuries is 4 miles-per-hour. That gives us a radius of ninety-six miles.
What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, hen-house, outhouse and doghouse in that area.
Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles.
Your fugitive's name is Mad Vlad Romanov.
Go get him ..."
