HEARTS were today warned that it will take months for the club to exit administration.
Manager Gary Locke will start the new season with one of the youngest teams in Tynecastle history as he tries to claw back a 15-point deficit whilst unable to register new players.
The club have been deducted 15 points and banned from registering new players after entering administration, which Jackson said will take months to complete. Scottish Premier League rules, which will soon transfer to the new Scottish Professional Football League, prevent any club registering new players whilst in administration. There is a strong chance Hearts could remain under BDO’s command beyond the end of the summer transfer window on August 31.
Jackson admitted they will be forced to supplement their squad by promoting more players from the Riccarton youth academy.
“It’s not possible to be out of administration before the season starts,” he said. “Getting out of administration takes months because you have statutory duties, timescales and different meetings to attend to that you must give advance notice of.
“Even if you had an acceptable offer for the business, these things don’t run smoothly. There are always complications.”
