Doubt UEFA would be overly interested if they are still ducking Arbroath or Nitton Star for pitch rental...

"payments to other teams, staff and tax authorities". That will be "them" then...Last edited by Leithenhibby; 24-12-2012 at 08:47 AM.

Instead of moaning about it on here, why not email someone at UEFA and ask why there is this apparent inconsistency?

There's a very good letter in the Scotsman today from a Dundee United fan that's got a few Yam biters.
http://www.scotsman.com/sport/footba...rief-1-2705620
YOUR sports letters page last Monday (17 December) was filled with the ire of Hearts fans who seem not to understand why supporters of other clubs have little sympathy for their financial plight.
They appear to take the view that running the club well beyond its means until the inevitable implosion (which has reduced them to begging fans to keep them running day to day) has been a price worth paying for the trophies won. Douglas Turner writes that “bigger, better supported clubs have always paid more for players.” The point he overlooks is that Hearts have offered better salaries to players but they have regularly been unable to pay them on time. As a Dundee United supporter I would love to have seen Andy Webster retained, but he opted for a supposedly better deal at Tynecastle. Would he have been so happy to return there had he known that his deal would involve regularly finding his wages unpaid for weeks.
This is what sticks in the throat of other clubs’ fans – that our clubs have battled to maintain their debts at a manageable level over a number of years and have thus been restricted to a tight player budget, while Hearts have ridden roughshod over such considerations and now have the audacity to bleat about the dismal financial situation they find themselves in. The meek acceptance by both players and fans of the way custodians of their club have run matters at Tynecastle has long been a source of bewilderment to the rest of us. To see the mess Hearts are in now reminds me how glad I am that Vladimir Romanov’s interest in Dundee United went no further than it did. We may live hand to mouth as a club but our integrity is intact, not to mention a trophy-winning record superior to Hearts’ over the last 30 years!

Unless money arrives from Lithuania they won't make it to the end of the season. In fact I doubt they will be able to make January wages.

Unless their auditors, Johnston Carmichael, start to play hard-ball and tell them their accounts will not be signed off unless they show a clear business plan for elimination of their structural deficit.
Let the Accountants select the squad and pick the team !

You've got to laugh at the over reaction to the name and shame post, a lot of emotional upset about nothing.

In Hearts' case, the auditor's report is largely irrelevant, at least in a commercial sense. Poor audit reports can lead to overdrafts and loans being called in.... but, given the nature of HMFC's relationship with their holding company and banker, that won't happen just because the AR is bad.
The loans might get called in because of other factors... UBIG's problems, for example, or UKIO's recent merger. In addition, it doesn't need an auditor to tell anybody who matters that HMFC have severe cash-flow problems. So suppliers and other creditors are already taking appropriate action, irrespective of what the audit opinion is.
As has been said often on this thread, it's all about cash now.

Arthur Thomson played for both Hearts AND Hibs and was a thoroughly nice guy despite his on field reputation.

He may well have been nicer off the field than on. He may well have been nice to his team mates on the field. He regularly kicked lumps out of Hibs players in derbies.Last edited by lapsedhibee; 25-12-2012 at 10:30 AM. Reason: gramer
