Good old Craig Whtye was a venture capitalist was he not?
like how they have all these plans but no one has actually talked to the main man yet, its the equivalent of me and my pals having a chat about how we are going to take over Apple
Six ex-students want to play Championship Manager all day in real life.
I take it its a slow news day at the Bun? :hilarious
'Sunsport can reveal', an anonymous source so no direct quotes from anyone and the revelation that no one has even bothered to tell Romanov of this master plan?
Well I'm convinced. No doubt the Fuds will be lubing up for their latest saviour. 6 men rather than 1 this time though, looks like they are getting a bit kinky.
Also they should be the 'third biggest club in the country'???
Surely some mistake they have 400 000 fans and are the big team.
They should maybe just buy the club history and set up new in Hammerfest.
What a load of undiluted pash, there is no way, repeat no way the crackpot will accept this bid, he has the yaks by the buster browns and won't let them go to this lot, what a joke!
Mikey Forrester? Norwegian investors?
Another pile of *****. :fibber:Quote:
It’s understood the group members are based in Norway and Sweden and have been involved in ownership of clubs in Scandinavia in the past, although at a minor level.
A look at the actual state of the club, even debt free, and the cash it would take to bring them into the middle of last century, never mind this, will see this lot scarpper. Their dewy eyed / pished student memories of 20/40 years ago will assume, quite rightly, that the stadium is now European compliant – instead its a subject of some controversy that its allowed to stay open at all in its present state.
As for the bit I’ve highlighted.
There's a few on here have ownership at a minor level, aka a few shares in Hibs. :smug:
Fancy putting in a bid? I’m sure between us we could have these Foundation (more the powder puff stuff wimin used to use although the liquid[ation] has potential for a joke, rather than anything substantial) folk running to the press with tales of a syndicate saviours a few from the North and other investors from the East.
Do you think the Foundation have any cash? Some sting that could be. I’ll have to give it some thought. :faf:
Anyone find it funny that a club squillions in debt, and a stadium that needs pulling down and built again, have people interested in buying them? :wink:
And a team in the same league, same city with little debt and a brand spanking new stadium struggle to get one, or even new investment?
Surely this consortium would be better investing in Hibs, or maybe the whole story is a complete load of pish? :greengrin
I have a friend ( now retired) who worked with Deloitte as a ' Liquidation Administrator' and above is almost to the letter what he said to me yesterday !!!
They would have two options
Live within their means or slide back into the financial abyss
Interesting times ahead at PBS methinks
I don't want them just to live within their means, thats what every other team is doing. Hearts have been enjoying a fair amount of sucess over the years by not living within their means so I want them to be punished severely for that.
The best outcome hearts can possibly hope for in this whole mess is to live within their means. Wish they would just die
I too share your wish.
However if they do manage to squirm out and find someone who is willing to borrow the money needed to buy out Vlad, while adding it to Hearts debt. Surely then living within their means would mean dealing with a budget far lower than ours while the debt is being repaid. This you would hope, would result in us pumping them a good few times over the years to come.
Not my favoured outcome but still not bad.
I'm not going to quote anyone, in order to protect the guilty, but....
Norwegian Investors? IKEA? ABBA?
You guys do know the latter two are actually SWEDISH? :greengrin
Guilty as charged your honour, bit of a play on the term Scandinavian to suit my own ends, not that you would have expected the words to be twisted when discussing the fine upstanding institutions that are the yam bams and their owners.
When the Norwegians pull out the Swedes will be in like a flash, an investment opportunity like this doesn't come up that often. A Nigerian prince is next in line - just as soon as he gets his hands on their shareholders register he will write to them all, assuming they ever issue shares and create one.
More ink wasted on fairytale talk of bids to buy Hertz!!!!
Stadium worth £7m? Players worth £0. Debt will be around £25m unless Vlad adds to previous write offs/forgiveness of 38m.
Even if Vlad was stupid enough to write off two thirds of their current debt the Scandics (and Without Foundation?) would need to pay £15m for a club worth half that - in assets. There's no cant daft enough to do this. This (sex crime riddled) club has been haemorrhaging money for years and cant instantly be turned into a profit making organisation in a piss poor football league with negligible income. For starters they have 500k to find for the next 3 years to cover the deferred HMRC outstanding amount and their income will be dropping when the Saviles desert them in droves after a bottom six finish and with diddy men brought in this summer to replace the overpaid leeches leaving.
Yet another waste of time. Vlad still holds the strings.........
this is a load off rubbish i am sticking to my original prediction that they will be closed down before we hit 500 pages on this thread.
Jambos told to behave at the weekend....
http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/articles/2...241384_3052890
They do say "conduct themselves in a manner befitting the club". As it is a horrible club that allows them to do anything they want. Large bill should ensue.
But but but, I thought that Hearts were going to sell out the East Stand for the first time (despite that fact we had already done that). There are 1,046 seats left in the east according to their website??Quote:
With over 12,000 tickets sold, a maroon army will descend upon Easter Road to back the Jambos against Inverness CT in the semi-final of the Scottish Communities League Cup.
Where are the 400,000 fans?:confused:
I really hope the Hearts fans smash every seat in Easter road this week. Be nice to know they are contributing to their own cash flow problems. And we'll all have nice shiny new seats in time for the visit of Aberdeen.
Ewan Murray@mrewanmurrayNot aware of Hearts fans having previous for wrecking stadia. Pretty off for their own club to issue a warning against doing so
Aye, very good :hilariousQuote:

Yams, priceless entertainment since 1986!!
PS, just shows Journos like Ewan Murray live in a vacuum & hoover up all the garbage about Yams being a wonderful institution without having any knowledge of the real world!
Have they sold out the entire home end like we were told they would yet? :fenlon
What's interesting about this is that they 1. obviously realise the truth about their own fans or they wouldn't have posted the warning 2. must have been slapped with a large bill for damage after the cup game but most of all 3. are only worried about fans doing this because they can't afford to pay for it and not because it's the wrong thing to do. Hearts class.
Isnt it such a sad and pathetic situation that a club has to beg and plead with fans not to vandalise and deface another club's stadium?
we know its got sod all to do with hearts having any professionalism or moral fibre, more so that they are getting a very twitchy bum about costs they can't pay, but it really doesn't do anything to enhance anyone's views of Scottish football.
Did this carry on happen when old firm games took place?
@ScottBurns75: #Hearts plan to release Danny Grainger at the end of the season.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21207271
He must be a crock. He is asking the Yams if they will let him continue his re-hab after May. Only if you pay for it Danny !
A friend of mine told me Zaliukas was in her work today and he said that he is off to either turkey or switzerland by the end of the month. Make of that what you will. I personally hope its not true as he will be near enough the top earner and I'd like him to drain them more before he leaves.
Oh and he was buying an 8K watch...mustve been paid. Also shows you how much hes on if he splashes 8K on a watch.
Hearts team today -
@anthonyabrown: Today's starting XI will have only 5 players who have made more than 6 starts for Hearts. The other 6 will have 11 starts between them #semi
Decent back 3 of 4, never heard of Mullen. Walker & Holt looked good when they played us- no formality an ICT win
I really don't understand the attendance rivalries.
Hearts have a marginally bigger fan base than us
Who cares
It doesn't affect me in any way
I support the better club in so many more relevant ways than just attendance figures
I'd rather be in a crowd of 15000 hibbies than 16000 *****
I wonder if the SFA will have words for fielding a weakened team :tee hee:
gutted i really thought that after 7 years of hope that this year would be the financial meltdown at the PBS, Now another cup final and probably a million in the bag when they beat st mirren 2 cups in the bag in less than a year (humbug)
they bake cakes to survive why can they no just die ? this thread will have 100k hits and ill be long grey beard and still wishing GUTTED:flag:
Another 2 youngsters released by them, meaning they can go begging for clubs to lend them more players for free
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11781/8454128/
They've got space for another three... I know in England you're allowed 5 under 23's and 5 over 23's but I'm not sure what it is up here. To be honest more and more clubs aren't going to want to do business with hearts due to late payments and things like that. These are short term fixes and will only keep them going to the end of the season and after that! They don't have anyone to replace these guys!
i am totally hacked off with this news it was only a few weeks ago the game was over the PBS Was going to be shut down and that nutter Vlad was being made Bankrupt, WTF Now roll forward too present day they have signed 2 Liverpool players and will probably have 2 cups in the bag come April and an additional 500k to boot.
the financial meltdown we all hope for has been delayed only for a few months it will happen though i am sure of that :flag:
Not another Hearts thread at the top of this forum :greengrin, slow news day again on a Hibs front, mon Hibs get your finger oot.
I can't say I know but the SPL have been taken for a ride by hearts on this "embargo". They're releasing these two youngsters that were no where near the first team and by the sounds of it could sign two players from an EPL club on no wages and sign two first team players. The SPL need to look at this
"THEM" :greengrin are currently scouring the EPL for young talent not currently in first team plans and offering guaranteed game time in the SPL, along with a sob story....skint war heroes, BIG club facing extinction blah blah please help us out blah blah, with a huge slice of 'victims' thrown in for good measure. They are booting out fringe players and bringing in youngsters they couldn't afford anytime in the next 20 years, and they're going to get away with it, as they are within the guidelines of the 'embargo' put in place by a bunch of administrators who couldn't spot a potential dodge if they were standing on top of it. You have to admire the sheer brass neckery of "THEM"
It's horrible to watch. Our governing body is trying to punish a cheating club but all they've done is make themselves look stupid. You'd think the SPL would take some care when writing up the embargo. It's laughable, and it's annoying to see that a club that cheats can sign more players than teams like Hibs or Dundee united who are trying to keep within their budgets and do everything correctly. It's horrible, cheating and worst of all it's against the morals of which the game is based, fair play! Let them die and don't feel any compassion
Probably went a bit off topic and ranted but oh well!
Sorry if posted earlier, but I see Barry Anderson has put his foot in it today. Poor choice of words.

What does shaking hands like a bunch of bananas feel like? Did his hands go all squishy or something? As that's what happens to bananas when you squeeze them.
Similes aren't his strong point clearly. EEN are paying him too much and I don't even know what he's on
:hmmm: If it's true that they're paying the 'puddlians nothing, then it's going to be interesting when the loans are up and they come to replace these players. The replacements, to comply with the rule that incomers must be paid less than outgoers, will have to pay the yams!
Right I'm going to rise to the Jambo baiting.
The game is still almost over at the Wongadome. They are pissin against the wind financially especially if they don't get anyone else sold for decent money this window. None of the major earners have gone so a big hole in income v expenditure exists. Remember the big tax bill didn't go away in December, it is due in May
Think you are stretching it saying two Liverpool players. A once promising Rangers player and a huddy youngster, nobody in England wanted on loan would be a better description.
Glad you all think 2 cups are in the bag this season, take it you mean League Cup but I can't think of any other cups Hearts are still in. :greengrin
Finally, they will not get an additional £500,000 for getting to the League Cup final. The Evening News figures were plucked out the air and referred to £500,000 they will earn out the entire cup run. Can't see it being that much as I doubt they will sell many strips on the back of the "little cup" final which doesn't matter to any of them.
The clock is still ticking and Hearts will struggle financially for a long time to come if they survive at all.
LTYF
Well said Pat.
There was a six million (at least) hole last year covered by yet another of Vlad's debt for equity swaps which swallowed it. That appears not to be on the agenda for this year.
Remember last year they won the Scottish Cup with the associated income that brought.
This season they have the Liverpool ties money, money from Wallace and Templeton, and a run to the Diddy Cup Final and £1m approx from fans and share issue. Despite all this they have repeatedly failed to pay players on timne and have multiple other debts (inluding rent and rated to CEC)
Does this add up to £6 million? Nope.
They have the first instalment of the tax bill due in May iirc and they are due to start repaying Vlad on top of the shortfall.
The figures just don't stack up.
Tick tock.

Any ideas why the Yams are making alterations to the Articles of association of " Heart of Midlothian 2005 Ltd " in the last few days ?
The only directors are Serge and Roman and it allows them to act and vote on issues in which they have a personal interest.
Love the Company valuation Minus £ 2.7 BILLION !!!!:greengrin
Can some of the more enlightened amongst us explain why Hearts have an "issued share capital" figure of £146.9m
By contrast Hibs appear to have an "issued share capital" figure of £1.2m
I seem to rememer that STF put £1m ish into the club to cover the shortfalls and is this the £1.2m shown? What does the £147m mean then in Hearts case?
Apologies in advance.
