    As they don't own Tynecastle the administrators of Ukio will first have to begin proceedings against Ubig. Once an administrator is appointed there Hearts will be deducted 18 points and sit at the foot of the SPL. As they have no cash and cannot generate a surplus, an administrator will quickly move to wind the company up as they have no way of getting their fees other than the sale of assets. Their only asset is Tynecastle which is worth more vacant than with a tennant. There is no sign that there are any bidders with enough money to outbid a property developer.
    Finish the season? They'll be lucky to finish the week.
    Regardless of what we Hibees think of Hearts, it would be a very daring developer that knocked down Tynecastle to build houses. How would he persuade people in that area to buy a home on the graveyard of Hearts? If Easter Rd was knocked down in similar circumstances would you buy a house on the site? I know I wouldn't.

    Pfft, Edinburgh is lacking affordable housing within walking distance of the City Centre. Gorgie is the prime definition of "affordable". They'll sell like hot cakes (chortle).

    Thousands of families live in edinburgh with no affiliation to either club - it wouldnt be an issue.

    The percentage of people who care about Hibs or Hearts that much that it would stop them buying the house they want is quite small. 450,000 people live in Edinburgh but only about 20,000 people would consider themselves regular attendees at Tynecastle. Let's face it, if the right house at the right price was available then a good few Hearts fans would tell themselves that it's not their fault the club went bust and it's time to move on, and anyway the wife really wants that flat.

    A developer will want to sell homes. Hearts home support is a Shan wee percentage of the local population (3% being generous) which leaves at least 97% of the property buying public who couldn't give a stuff about hearts. Buy that land would be my advice to a developer

    There are far more people in Edinburgh who don't care about football than there are those who do. These houses would sell no problem apart from the smell from the brewery and the chemical place along the road. The site of (the soon to be defunct) Hearts ground wouldn't pose any problems. Builders would queue up to buy it if permissions were granted.

    There are plenty of people who would. The buyer would most likely sit on the land for a while anyway as it'll increase in value eventually.

    Remember, we're pretty much at the bottom of the market now and in 5-10 years time it'll be worth more. That land is a very good investment for someone with the money to buy it right now.

    I'd very happily buy a flat there. It might become a proper little Hibernian enclave. Without the Yams, the neighbourhood, due to its proximity to the city centre, would probably appreciate in value very quickly.

    A recent Council appraisal of the site suggested it would be suitable for Social Housing.

    But, being in Gorgie I would thought anti-social would have been a better description.

    I can see that if there is someone who can afford to buy the land then sit on it. Emotions will be raw in the meantime though. May be loads of Jambos kicking their hats around and disturbing the peace . Still I suppose the hats could take the place of the can in Kick the Can....(for older fans like me)

    Tesco could buy it, put up some stables, and the folk from the Gorgie Farm could look after their horses

    What really gets me is,why does Romanov get an easy ride in all of this?

    All the fans have done is raise cash for a fruitless effort in trying to save there club.

    When will the scenes become ugly down gorgie way?

    Because they've said it themselves, they won a cup final against us 5-1 and supposedly that's worth paying for in having no future for your football club. Madness.

    They turned ugly some time ago.

    The real question, as Blackpool says: when are they going to turn back?

    On Kickback this beauty

    "We also need to remember that UBIG are entitled to take what ever money they want from us.

    They are after all our parent company and they can argue that we have been on the take from them for long enough"

    How far do they bend over?

    To be fair, he's right.

    In the situation they are in, UBIG could take everything that wasn't nailed down, then sell everything else that is.


    They bent over years ago when they never thought to question the Vlad regime, it's far, far too late to change that now.

    Don't want to pour any cold water on the Thread which has a lovely cosy warmth to it today, or come over like a brokeback poster, but what will the New Bank mean by " intending to liquidate the property assets in Scotland ....... "

    Could it simply mean sell them off to the highest bidder ?

    Step forward some maroon cardigan wearing consortium !

    Will somone please allay these groundless fears.
    The groundless fears should be experienced by Jambos as the PBS becomes flats.

    Just had the misfortune of meeting 2 lowlife ****bag hearts fans in shakespears. Apparently they check hibs.net regular. Must of been in their 50's and were only out to support the team who were playing hibs. Would feel sorry for them if I didn't strongly suspect them of paedophilea. Truly disgusting human beings I really hope their club die soon. Hope they enjoyed getting slaugtered in a busy pub by one man half their age. I certainly enjoyed it

    Well, I'll admit it doesn't start with that intention, but before too long, if there's any round, a fair bit of winding up does take place. Usually because these young hot bloods need taken down a peg or two ...

    A couple of us are thinking of going along to the wee cup final to cheer on the buddies - we have a good friend who supports them.

    It's ok, PishyBreeks says its all going to be fine, so that's that then.

    George Foulkes said at the game yesterday that things would start moving at quite a pace now. He knows some of the parties interested and believes it will work out ok in the long term.
    Hold on, didn't Fatty bring The Submariner on board too?
