Looks like Club 9 would separate the good assets (if there are any) from the bad then start again.
So surely it would mean liquidation and then setting up as a Newco.
Yes. Jamieson has already set up the company.Quote:

Would they even bother setting up a newco? Have my doubts. Can see Hearts ending up like Coventry after they sold their ground, rented a couple of years, didn't pay the rent and have now moved 40 miles from home.Quote:

Well suck it up!

I don't think even the SPL or sorry the SPFL would be daft enough to allow them to stay in the top league if they entered liquidation?Quote:

Listen to them wise old Owls...it's almost inconceivable, after Romanov, that Hearts could be moving from the frying pan to the fire in terms of ownership, but these guys seem like sharks who scent blood...Quote:

The already large funding gap will be huge.
Anyway, as much as I want to see them floundering around the lower leagues as a ******* new club, I want them to have this season rooted to the bottom of the top division before that happens! Imagine a Hibs team going well taking on relegation certainties Golden Gary and the Showerboys in front of the new ER's first Hibs sell out* crowd on New Year's Day.

If it's a NewCo, it should go the same way as Rangers.Quote:

What's the general reaction on kickback to this bid then? It doesn't take a blind man to realise that newco route is what they are intending so have the pinkoids picked this up as yet?

A new company, called HMFC limited, are submitting a bid to buy Hearts, BBC Scotland has learned.
The company are using American company Club 9 Sports to try to attract US investment for their bid.
The bid, to be submitted to administrators BDO ahead of a 12 July deadline, is in the region of £5m.
BBC Scotland has also learned that the company's plans include a move away from Tynecastle to a purpose-built stadium.
Club 9 Sports have been involved in failed bids for clubs including Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday.
The Foundation of Hearts, a consortium of fans' groups, are the only group who have made their intentions to buy the club public so far.
A consortium led by former Scottish Rugby chief executive Gordon McKie had proposed an alliance with the Foundation of Hearts , which was rejected.
HMFC limited, a Scottish company set up in June, have Borders-based businessman Bob Jamieson as their sole director and have also instructed an Edinburgh legal firm to act on their behalf.
Some have, the others are putting their brains together to see how they can make as much money as possible from their fancy new 30k seater. Like, renting out office space, match day hospitalitly, car park prices and so on.Quote:

Have to laugh at the comments under this story and just noticed one guy "Thomaso" who is on every other post correcting anyone way states something about Hearts he disagrees with.Quote:
