If the D/D's are cancelled after the purchase the muppets with money, bidco will probably expect to get repaid from the football club's normal income which will screw the football side of things for a long time.
However, I'm sure there are rules against this method as it would be seen as a leveraged purchase of a company ( Cav, CWG PTS come in here ) so I have no idea what would happen.

HoMFC fans no longer care about those that were made redundant. In fact even the threat of liquidation and/or relegation doesn't seem to bother them lately. They're more concerned about celebrating defeats and crying tears of pride as their kids empty their piggy banks for shares they'll never receive.
Be interesting to see how many they knock off the attendance figure from Wednesdays home game against Q'O'S.
The foundation have recorded a song now in their bid to create history. I hope its as good as the Marshall's chunky chickens champions one from the 80's.

And to get security over the assets and get the club they will need to have serious wedge. As my lapsed Jambo Accountant buddy states
"Unless the Lithuanians are seeing at least 8-10 million (that's Pounds not Litas and it does NOT include the working capital required to run the club) then the games up and you are looking at a Newco and a sh*tload of Humble Pie. The Lithuanians have the ground and they'll take it. What Ian Murray and his people don't seem to get is those are the cold hard rules of business and all the cake sales and semi aggressive bletherings from Hearts supporting Politicians won't change that one bit."
I'd imagine that that is what the stadium land has been valued at as real estate.
Remember, in all of this process, the Lithuanian administrators will get the maximum amount they can for the Lithuanian taxpayers. Keeping the club as a going concern isn't in their remit.
I just get the feeling they are happy to plod along indefinitely in Admin and as long as nobody rocks the boat any further, they'll just to try to see the season out in admin then worry about next season when it comes.
When can we actually expect the end game to come? The Grim Reaper, wearing a cheap Lithuanian suit, or whoever it is that is going to put an end to their wretched existence?
I mean, are the FOH just wind-up merchants that are pishing into the wind?
Think his figure was based around the £6.8m security plus money to pay BDO.
If the CVA is knocked back the Lithuanians will take the stadium, BDO will take their fee and there will be precious little if anything in the pot left for the Creditors who should probably prepare themselves to get utterly shafted.
Still not sure why FoH don't make an offer for that club without the stadium. They probably have enough for that and it would save them from having to newco and mean they are only relegated one division.
I'm not so sure it will all go down. They have been hanging on a thread for so long I would conclude, it will remain that way until the end of the season. After this ... anyone's guess??
A short term rental agreement with Livingston or maybe using Meadowbank with their chums on the Council charging them the square root of nowt for it's use by their pet team.
And the cost of bringing Meadowbank up to standard to host 4th tier Scottish Football games is being met by YOU, the Council Taxpayers of Edinburgh.
Meadowbank will then be sold for development and the money raised will be used to build a new Council Stadium (shall we call it New Tynecastle?) in the West of the City with that lot as primary tenants.
Sorry for my cynicism.
