    I think more and more Yams are coming round to that way of thinking - even some proper numbskulls!

    I have some Pars cousins who fully expect a similar fate soon.

    It's increasingly difficult to imagine a scenario where they don't get well and truly shafted big time. I'm sure there will be a lot of white knight and council rescue fantasy's spilling forth from Sickback over the next few weeks, but it doesn't look good.

    The short-to-mid-term aspects with creditors and asset disposal are bleak enough.

    But if the investigations in Lithuania into where the actual money came from that went into the Hearts accounts are thorough and ongoing, this could hang over them for years and really tear the club apart.

    I think some of the money laundering depositors might want to tear Vlad apart.

    I would of thought they'd be desperate for a trip to the pie stand to get away from the eye bleeding football on display.

    Yep, when it is shown that the Yams have bee living off the proceeds of organised crime money laundering I think some of the maroon cardigan wearers might get a tad squeamish.

    Their success funded by a cut from drug dealing, gun running, people trafficing, child prostitution, and all the rest, does not sit well with their " Heart and Soul of Edinburgh " bullst!t.

    A very rough calculation (I deducted points only) if they go bust before the end of the season.

    Celtic 53pts
    Motherwell 42pts
    St Johnstone 40pts
    Inverness 39pts
    Ross county 39pts
    Hibernian 37pts
    Aberdeen 36pts
    Dundee Utd 34pts
    Kilmarnock 29pts
    St Mirren 26pts
    Dundee 11pts
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Good to see they are focusing on the most important things...

    That's both Hearts and the ES, by the way. Has Edinburgh's newspaper officially decided to bury its head in the sand too?

    The big thing is that they won't be shafted. They have played with some big bad boys, taken the benefits and it is now payback time. No shafting involved.

    It's the way of these things that financial investigations are invariably formed by criminal prosecution. Then the football authorities here will be compelled to act.

    Yes...and they retweet Anti-Hibs jokes. Haven't bought it for a year now. Semi-Chem has a good deal on bog roll.

    The longer this goes on the worse it's going to get for them. Yes, we've been saying that for years, but never in a post Vlad scenario. I think, with SPL/SFA help, they'll try and stagger on till the end of the season, then we'll have a summer of incredible revelation and bloodletting which will render them unfit for any participation in football in season 2013-14.

    That's the good news.

    The even better news: I really doubt whether they will be able to continue till the end of the season, but all the above will still happen anyway.

    So how long until we can say "told you so" to the yams over the road?

    Never a truer word spoken, Robert.

    Even though they might make the seasons end, albeit with the prospect of administration looming, they've still to get last years accounts signed off and the auditors have to acknowledge that they are a viable trading concern. That's when it could get very messy as by their own admission, UBIG aren't funding them and they're 'on there own' financially.

    The SPL/SFL have procedures in place that demands that participating clubs have the collateral to see them through to the seasons end. There is no guarantee that Yams will even make it to the seasons start, let alone its end.

    This isn't wishful thinking and/or hobonomics - it's a simple statement of fact.

    Isn't their AGM meant to be at the end of this month? That should be a hoot, or whatever noise ostriches make!

    I think it's a matter of steps. We were already able to start doing so when:

    1) Vlad said he's unable to support them and they have to 'pay their way' - check
    2) UKIOS collapsed - check

    The next ones will be a mess of sold assets, fines, dispute about club ownership, possible admin, liquidation etc. It won't be long now. The difference between this and our previous wishing is that this time there really is no money, funny or otherwise, coming into the club and and owner who needs to dispose of all bad assets.

    The AGM...oh to be a fly on the wall at that one. It's been an annoyingly long if occasionally entertaining wait, but I'm relying on them to pull of a spectacular end game to make it all worthwhile.

    If they last until the end of the season (which I doubt) I can't see anybody being mug enough to take on player contracts in May till late July when they earn a running income on ate receipts. They would then be in a situation of probably having no ground, no registered players, possibly no owners and in breach of SFA regulations in preparation for the 2013-14 season.

    It also raises the question about advance ST sales for next season - this is a genuine scam, given their current financial status.

    Will that be open to "psuedo" shareholders as well as "proper" shareholders?

    Be interesting to see if all those that bought shares last year get an "official" invite.
    But you know it ain't all about wealth,
    as long as you make a note to .. EXPRESS YOURSELF!
