Added to that Mr Locke's alleged mutual interests with Boab's parents, seems a natural step for our friends over-by.Quote:

Hey Scott, I was in our old CW haunt last night & got talking to a Lithuanian barman! He comes from Kaunas but only knew of Romanov as the crook who destroyed a bank. When I asked him about the football & basketball teams in Kaunas he said the latter would survive because that's the national sport but nobody really cared about the footy team. Amazingly he had never heard of the world famous Yams, not even when I told him they had won WW1 on their own! Bemused doesn't cover it! He also confirmed what many on here have already said, that there's outrage in Lithuania over the banking & other events & no politician is going to spend a minute worrying about the affairs of a tin pot foreign team! Pleasing!Quote:

I think 'positive funding arrangement' should be in the Yamasaurus too.Quote:

How much inbreeding would you need to do and over how many generations in order to narrow your gene poll sufficiently that you'd be moronic enough to read this kind of statement and actually fall for it?
With the deadline for bids being end of this week should we not have started to hear about bids going in this week, or will it be Friday before anyone actually puts a bid in?
What would happen if there's no bids on friday.Quote:

Good luck to the bidders who's deadline is this Friday.
No doubt they will claim that it was events out-with their control (Lithuania) which forced them into administration. Won't stack up when you consider all their claims of self sufficiency for the last year and a half.Quote:

Surely foh on their own won't be viewed as a credible bid if they're not able to muster a bid by Friday?Quote:

So let's hope next May (or sooner) it reads Yams in 12th place, dwindling crowds, and no hope of escaping admin - let liquidation commence. By then the new pyramid structure of Scottish football will be well bedded in, making it even more difficult for a NewCo to join anywhere but the bottom rung (as AFC Wimbledon had to do). That's of course if they are capable of forming and running a football club.
Look.
Lets stop this nonsense.
The only bid is going to be the FOH.
Hardly fit for the top league of Scottish football.
What, a few guys with a biscuit tin full of fivers.
Get them out now, Down to the lowland league.
Doubt anyone would complain if they were shoehorned in there.
They're going to get liquidated and lose their ground.
Disaster for Scottish football if they're allowed to start in the SPFL.
Take no chances.
Get them out now before the SPFL become the laughing stock of world football.
Would imagine that bids will be getting drafted until pretty much the last minuteQuote:

I see our Under 20's team have an away fixture v Selkirk tomorrow night. Wouldn't it be a wonderful gesture if Hibs requested that half the gate money should go towards the Hawrts fighting fund? :wink:
I'm certain that the Club with no shame would have no hesitation in accepting the income!!
:greengrin
I would guess so, Im 99% sure the sfa will be looking at this and thinking, if you cant GUARENTEE to fulfil the fixture list we have no other option but to remove them from the league. I would have thought if UBIG situation is still unclear and no cva has been agreed by a certain date then they would have no option......surley every man and their dug can see them going pop during the season would be even more disaterousQuote:

And still nothing from the SP(F)L on Hearts non-payment of wages: www.scotprem.com/content/default.asp?page=s2&newsid=12360&back=home
If it does someone should do an FOI request on Ian Murray (member) expense claims to see who paid for the fags in the first place.Quote:

So that's what they did.
How can Hearts say it's nothing to do with them.
Pathetic club.
But I thought Hearts were the BIG boys?Quote:

Personally I don't see how SPFL can cut them any slack whatsoever. As many on here have said there's a good chance that Yams as a football entity will be the smallest problem to be faced in wrapping up the whole UBIG/UKIO entity. There is potential corruption & money laundering on a large scale & SPFL need to be careful to distance themselves from any possible consideration that their inaction was a factor in any fraud.
