FEARS were growing last night that Hearts are set to plunge into administration.
The Jambos owe Vladimir Romanov’s crippled Ukio Bankas and its parent company UBIG £25MILLION.
SunSport understands a Glasgow-based auditing firm is on standby to act if the worst nightmare of Tynecastle staff and fans is realised — possibly even as soon as the next week.
And that scenario would hand current SPL bottom side Dundee a potential reprieve from relegation.
Second bottom St Mirren, still chasing the win to secure their top-flight status, would also be cheered.
Hearts, presently 10th and 11 points clear of John Brown’s men, would be hit with a 17-point deduction going into the last fortnight of the season.
Depending on this weekend’s results it could instantly relegate Gary Locke’s side.
It is believed that the February crash of Ukio Bankas — owed £15m by the Scottish Cup holders — immediately left Hearts in a precarious position.
Supremo Romanov and right-hand man Sergejus Fedotovas, also a Jambos director, quit the board of Kaunas-based parent company and effective club owners UBIG soon after.
Hearts — who late last year rushed out a share issue to raise £1m-plus to cover an HMRC bill plus running costs which threatened to kill them off — are also in debt to UBIG to the tune of £10m.
UBIG have a 79 per cent stakeholding in Hearts, who are desperate to stave off any possible administration until at least June 1 when it’s understood their ‘golden’ SPL share would be formally confirmed again for 2013-14.
In that event they would not be relegated but would start the new season with a minimum minus 12 points.
Last night a Tynecastle source insisted: “As far as we’re concerned it’s business as usual.”

The story in the Sun looks as reliable as Graeme Smith in goal.
If it does miraculously happen in the next 2/3 years, it will come with reports that it was due to Rangers' demise.
It will also come with a statement of foulplay and mafia-assassin-gangsters stealing money and laundering it for evil kingpins.

Lets look at this rationally please before we crack open the champagne. So far all we have us a rumour started by a random Dundee fan on twitter and a story by the sun newspaper which has no quotes and looks like it could of taken all it's information from this thread. As usual they have at least one fact wrong as it would be an 18 point deduction. Think il just sit tight until something a bit more concrete comes to light.
I do think they will go into admin but for it to have the desired effect it really needs to happen in the next 2-3 weeks which I'm not so sure about.

This thread has been nothing but a tease, flirting with a promise of the grand prize. When that day arrives there will be a lot of laundry done, that's for sure.
