Absolutely. There is absolutely no money to be made in Scottish fitbaw, and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous. £45 million indeed...:faf:Quote:

It's a bit unclear whether Jamieson means USD or Sterling. Let's assume he's talking about $45m... roughly, £30m at today's exchange rate.Quote:

This deal is not without risk, but let's just say he manages to borrow this £20m at 7% (considerably less than the cost of financing Man U and Liverpool with American money but again, let's give him the benefit of the doubt).
This means a return to investors of £1.4m a year, and he still needs to pay back the £20m somehow. This from a club with a turnover of £10m pa even in the good years. Does that sound even vaguely plausible?
I think it's only right that while we're all watching the Hibs in Europe tonight, having a good time enjoying ourselves, we should pause, even just for a minute, and spare a thought for what the Hearts fans will be continuing to worry and go through tonight, wondering if their club will survive or not.
..........aye right, GET IT UP you's!!! The Hibs are in Europe tonight and you's WILL be in your beds!
Various Jambos on the Scotsman forums still living in the land of make believe whereby a CVA will be arranged and they will be playing at either this new stadium or a refurbished Tynie.
Delusional at best but fans like that are worse than enemies. Their "everything is OK" line started when Romanov came in and continues now.
I thought his point was that they didn't pay it before, so might still not pay, hence reducing that running costs bottom-line.Quote:

Ah, okay, I missed that point, if that's the case.Quote:

Informed today that Hearts have moved their registered office from Tynecastle to City Point Haymarket. Mean anything ?
It was done a couple of weeks ago. That's BDO's office. No great significance in it.Quote:

New Scottish Lowland League fixtures out today. No room for El Pinkos. Still, maybe next season if they play their cards right...
:agree: It's standard practice in company insolvency to move the registered office of the company to that of the IP dealing with it. It is done to ensure that any writs/warrants etc against the company which may be served are received and actioned by the IPQuote:

The Sergey scenario, where Hearts stay in admin until they physically run out of cash after Christmas, simply because they cannot liquidate to sell their assets (the land the stadium is on) due to legal/criminal proceedings in Lithuania, is in the long run, the worse case for them. This is the one that potentially sees Hearts not exist as a footballing entity for several years, then have to work their way through the Scottish League structure.Quote:

UBIG are the main debtor of Ukio Bankas or UB are its main creditor. The admin of UB is effectively the admin of UBIG. If you talk to UB's admin you are effectively talking to the UBIG admin. UBIG's funding came from loans from UB whose admin will have to pick through the UBIG spiders web to see what they can recover.Quote:

Sorry - but that isn't the case and is wrong.Quote:

Now that's what I call a realistic business plan to exit adminQuote:

Can't agree. The hearing was postponed because of something which i am sure is a genuine reason. Although a bit of paternity leave and the world of the SFA seems to stop turning is embarrassing. This hearing will still take place i am sure, unless something disastrous (:greengrin) happens to yam fc.Quote:
