Agree 100%. I think BDO are going through the motions & starting to worry about their fees.Quote:

Failure of the CVA would not reflect well on BDO.Quote:

Why is that?Quote:

I always thought that this would be a relatively short administration, and that's how it looks to be panning out. Yes, this is a short one.
However, if there's no CVA, I don't think you can point a finger at BDO. If there is no decent offer, then that's life; that's not their fault.

Hearts: UBIG shares means club must consider 'plan B'
Hearts joint administrator Trevor Birch insists the club cannot rule out entering a "newco scenario". Birch says that route is a "last resort" to be pursued if the issue with UBIG's proposed administration and shareholding remains unresolved.
UBIG, who are claiming insolvency, own 50% of the shares at Tynecastle and are also a major club creditor. "There may be a delay in the process and therefore you may have to look to plan B," Birch told BBC Radio Scotland. "I've been at pains to say that we have to be prepared for that.
"If it becomes a total stumbling block and an impossibility to deliver the shares via a CVA [company voluntary arrangement], then you may need to look at the newco scenario [transfer of club assets to a new company]. "That is absolutely last resort but if that is the only way of circumventing the share issue then that's what you'd have to look at."
Birch, of accountancy firm BDO, hopes UBIG will be placed in administration during August, which would make the selling of Hearts more straightforward once they identify a preferred bidder.
That line should read "Birch disagrees with the collective opinion of Hibs.net".:greengrinQuote:

This has always been the likely outcome. The rest has been piss and wind and going through the motions.Quote:

They may do this and hope to stay in the top league as anything else would cause massive disruption problems.
I think this is what they will try to do.
I hope they can't get away with this.
The SFA should hit them with at least £250,000 fine and that would settle the matter. They could then promote Morton and let the Hertz crumble into division 3:aok:Quote:

I Am now warming to BDO they are slipping the " Newco " word in more and more now i think they are trying to get it to the point that the yams just accept it as they have no other choice, my worry is that they keep the dead patient on the life suport machine long enough for the season to start then it gets switched off and " Newco "Quote:

Hmmm, not sure I agree.Quote:

The issue, though, would be the transfer of the SFA memberships and SPFL share. They would need to be ratified, and it's that that would take time.

And where does a Newco get the finance to purchase Tyncastle from the OldCo? BDO aren't under the same political and social pressures Duff and Phelps were to sell cheap. Tyncastle will go to the highest bidder, to cover the security held by UBIG, who will themselves be flogging everything off to the highest bidder to pay their creditors.Quote:

If Hearts start off again as a Newco, they may have to move elsewhere anyway.
I propose the Cropley, Caversham, Desantos and Sergey PLC start a company under the name Heart of Midlothian Original Football Club in order to take control of the newcoQuote:

It's no different to selling a house, that has been used as security for a loan. You own the house, but you have to pay off the lender from the proceeds of the sale.Quote:
