I would rather drop the club with the next worse set of accounts, whoever they might be. :greengrin

I'm not best placed to answer that one - but I'd reckon liquidation at the earliest/most opportune time.
The MSM seem to think that this is simply a cut-and-dry case between Scotland and Lithuania, however, there are creditors, both private and public throughout Europe and further afar that will have a say, From Bosnia, Ukraine, Belarus, Sweden...the list is endless - these creditors are all part of the UBIG insolvency, and getting them to agree to a paltry penny in the £ settlement simply isn't going to happen overnight. Plus, UBIG are under criminal investigation - what the **** are prospective bidders for Hearts getting themselves into in the medium/long term?
I may have missed the question elsewhere but I note Dunfermline have a £150k bond due if they are still around. What's this about and is there such a requirement for HMFC?
Keep reading this quote and each time it seems to get better and better
The administrator in charge of Ukio Bankas, Gintaras Adomonis, said: "I can repeat that we are doing everything we can to save the club functioning.
"However, I am obliged to protect solely the interests of Ukio Bankas and its creditors.
"If no feasible offer with terms and conditions acceptable to Ukio Bankas creditors is achieved, Ukio Bankas will remain with the only solution - liquidation of Hearts of Midlothian Plc and enforcement of the standard security over Tynecastle stadium."
this will cheer me up, hurry up Thursday :agree:
That will hold no water on brokeback they just make up what they want to hear. As Mikey said earlier their thread on the issue is "Not looking too good". They need a 'chewin' the fat' Rab McGlinchey interpreting for the yams.
"We gave you a chance, your offers were laughable, we've wasted enough time you're rooked. Now beat it and see if City park is available"
I think there may be less money sloshing around than we think. BDO confirmed all the income from the first 7,000 season ticket sales has gone. I believe a high percentage of the extra 3,000 were reduced price, I doubt they brought in £0.5mm. They're paying wages again, need to pay VAT & PAYE & their providers who've already been stiffed are now going to want paid up front. I think though they may be pragmatic & think there's no point in chasing their tail, ie losing more money & just give up the ghost while they actually have some money left.
@MattMcGlone9: A trusted London city source tells me 75% chance Hearts will be liquidated.All recent S/B sales null/void. SPFL left with 11 teams! #problem
Never had the energy or time to read all this thread but find it interesting to read as a Hibby and someone who tries to run a business ( albeit one without 400,000 clients ) . Comments from financial experts here seem sincere and accurate ( I`m no expert ) . I never read Hearts`boards but suppose they have the odd financial expert ( odd as in occasional instead of strange though also that ) - giving opinions and predictions . Do their opinions match those of experts here ? Never read a heated debate here about our own financial situation involving financial experts - is this just because things are under control though not rosy or because we manage to survive without causing controversy or risking massive losses ?
I think that "wow" tweet sums up what will be a stunned reaction of an overconfident, ignorant and complacent yam mob who never believed for a second it would actually, finally come to this. When the day arrives, expect lengthy news footage of clusters of yams gathering outside the pink bus shelter with lots of tears, shots of wee bairns holding out 20p pieces with greeting fans around them saying "bless his wee soul", a lot of nonsense statements, anger and claims to the cameras about who was responsible (everyone but themselves) and whimpering "emotional appeals" from 13 year old lassies in dirty pink scarves trying to get noticed on television. The irony of them all protesting outside their beloved asbestos shed a few years too late will be lost on each and every one of them.
Franck Sauzee must be getting worried as Sidney is catching him in my hero stakes Haha

Dunfermline received a 15-point penalty for going into administration last season, when they were relegated from Division One - now the Championship - after a play-off final defeat by Alloa Athletic.
Another 10-point penalty for the forthcoming season - and a £150,000 bond payable to the Scottish Football Association - will be incurred should they fail to agree a CVA by 2 August.
I would imagine that a similar penalty could be imposed on HOMFC when they appear on 1st August, if they haven't agreed a CVA by the start of the season.
GGTTH
What if FoH throw all the cash they seem to have at the Liths, i.e. the 2 amounts they had for the cva and the amount set aside as working capital just to make sure they got control of the club.
They then have the club but sod all to run it with, would they be able to make it work with this scenario?
