Fair point
The police service Scotland (under the guise of the then Strathclyde Police) refused to police games at Ibrox last year

Thanks CWG, you'd think tho' the police would be justified in refusing to do any more games while they are owed money. If someone owed me for a service I had provided and told me I wouldn't see that money but wanted me to continue, I know what my response would be.
:agree: Sidney has now raised awareness of so many topics with so many people that he's become a kind of focus for all that needs to be done. Shouldn't we channel all future concerns through him? We could start a campaign to make sure that he knows about anything and everything that needs to be raised with anyone and everyone. Perhaps this campaign could have as its slogan "Tell Sid" ?
I know it will have been asked, and answered, earlier, but why so many debts to all sorts of companies for £100? What's that all about?
Don't know if it has been asked.
I suspect that there are a few estimated figures in there. The accounting records of HMFC are, I am guessing, in a poor state and it was probably very difficult to compile that list in such a short time. There will be mistakes in the list.... see the poppy thread as an example... and other situations where it has not been possible to establish the exact amount of debts. Thus estimates will have been made, and those £100's may be an example of that.
All debts are adjudicated, ie have to be proven by the creditor. BDO acknowledge that, and there will be many changes to that list.
But they are getting money for current work. That's the issue. Refusing to do any more games would be a daft decision commercially. They know that they'll get paid for these ones, so why would they turn it down?
I'm intrigued by all the kaunas based companies that are owed money by hearts, how long have these companies been submitting invoices for hundreds of thousands?
What are these bills for?
Who are the directors of these companies?
I suspect I know the answers but would be good to get some proof
At £189k thus far, certainly not a waste of effort :greengrin
My thinking now is that UBIG will get shafted, and that only UKIO will get anything, whether by a CVA or liquidation. Up until today, I wasn't sure about the security situation, but now that BDO have clarified it, I can't see any way of UBIG getting anything.
Ask me again tomorrow.... :greengrin
Understand that but will be interesting to see stance of police for future games, minimum cash up front?
Wonder if Heriot Watt arrangement to let them train once a day (before U14 netball team use it) will remain or not? Appreciate legal position but common sense would make me say stuff it, you can find somewhere else unless you pay on advance?
What a devious little outfit they are. Knowingly taking on debts in the full knowledge they weren't ever gonna deliver payments.
Punish them. End them!
so, how DID they pay for their Belfast jaunt?
if someone borrowed money, or was due me money, and feked off to another country, I'd be mighty peeved if I didn't see my £'s again!
I guess an outfit such as that lot don't know the meaning of morality.
.....harbouring Corbett too! holy fek!
They would have got a guarantee of income from the tournament organiser.
As JGL says, BDO aren't allowed to favour one creditor over another, so that couldn't be paid.
I would think it pretty daft of the police to refuse. A publicly-funded body, turning down guaranteed substantial income? I wouldn't like to be the cop who took that decision...
Do we know how much the securities in favour of UKIO and/or UBIG are yet? And would this be excluded from any CVA vote? Also the Novikovas £100k is that not income from an asset that should be covered by the "floating charge"?
apologies in advance .
It must rankle with a lot of these smaller guys/ public bodies owed money that HMFC are sitting on £1m and they wont get their money.
I know, I understand it is unlikely for all the reasons given, however surely if you held them over a barrel they would have to pay would they not?
After all by paying they get revenue from being able to play more games
has anyone ever seen one of these letters, would like to read one, any printed?
