I rarely go to Bustback but wanted to see what the yams thought about the U.S. bid. I came acros this cracker when they were discussing a potential move from the PBS.
' All that is needed is maintenance.
Do people on here knock their house down if it needs a few new slates? '
Tradition is such a wanton mistress too. Hearts traditional brand of free flowing football resulted in one centre half's hoof (sorry, "pass") breaking through the roof and showering a variety of becardiganed Farquhar's with asbestos.
I Have written another letter of complaint today to HWU, As well as another letter to the police as regards the 25k debt. Pressure must be kept on these victims:aok:
Can this July 12th deadline be extended as I cannae see anyone coming in with a meaningful bid?!:confused:
I think the footballing authorities might be inclined to ask 'what's the score' if the deadline is extended.
This club is a basket case and will put to sleep before the start of the season, I'm convinced of it. Time has all but ran out for them.

Latest views from the 'poor us' brigade!
I'm not so sure it will be extended. I think the SPFL / SFA are looking for assurances that Hearts will be able to complete the season, hence the reasonably tight deadline to find a preferred bidder. Hearts are to face the SFA next week, which could be interesting.

So as it stands with a day to go, FOH are the only one's with a bid in.
But they don't have a pot to pee in and cant pay anything up front, just a virtual pot of money from folk stating online that they will set up a regular DD to contribute regularly going forward.
Same old Hearts by the look of it...FoH effectively making veiled threats and insisting the fans must be listened to.
Do any of them actually realise the predicament they are in? Bizarre tone to take when there are no bids and liquidation looming.
Spot on and head still firmly buried.
From a SPFL/BDO perspective the FOH have no concrete offer and its based on pledges, those pledges to any legal point of view are worthless the supporters won't have any sort of contract, anyone could cancel at any time, still no idea how many will be genuine either.
Unless there is a serious financial guy also backing this then there is no way it can possibly be taken seriously.
I'm setting up a group called Foundation of Tesco
I have identified a plot of land in EH11 that may suit a supermarket.
I'm putting in a bid tomorrow and just wanted to ask for pledges.
Before you ask, I do not wear suits made out of the Union flag, and crucially, I am not an MP.
EEN said last Friday that FOH had secured some up front funding for a bid, but no figures were mentioned and the amount was contingent upon on how many pledges are made.
My guess is that FOH will be the only serious bid and they will be nominated preferred bidder by BDO. The process will then drag on for longer as FOH will want to go through a CVA rather than go straight to a newco situation. BDO will attempt to secure the UBIG shares for sale and negotiations will go on about the price. Only if that then fails would you then be heading towards an alternative resolution (either a newco led by FOH or full liquidation).
Recover?Quote:
GARY Mackay believes the Foundation of Hearts represent the best opportunity for the Tynecastle club to recover their “pride and dignity” and has questioned the motivation of rival bidders ahead of tomorrow’s deadline.
How does one recover what one never had? Roaster. :agree:
GIRFUY
Quote attributed to Bob Jamieson in this morning's Scotsman:
“I’m a lifelong Hearts supporter who has kept an interest in this club for some time. Hearts is a club with a great reputation, it is 140 years old and has the potential to attract a big customer base even around Edinburgh. Neutrals would come to Hearts because it is a nice venue and there would be space. They were always a glamour club for me and have a good reputation for doing things properly.”
Dear Bob
What planet have you been on for the past 12 years?
or
Can I have some of what he's been having?
or
Are you in such denial that you are unable to be honest with yourself?
or
Just beat it weirdo!

desantos - thanks for sticking to your thoughts all along, that they would be liquidated. This was my feeling as well, as I couldn't really see any other outcome. Although it's not at that point yet, it certainly looks good.
Losing the PBS and becoming a newco at the bottom of Scottish football - is really a perfect outcome and unlike Rangers, they won't just waltz up through the leagues at a canter.
Losing your stadium, your club & its soul - is the real death of a club, not some tainted, cheated single cup final.
All in all - 'Pleasing'
