We are all assuming because of the LC Final and reports of 5k ST's already sold that they should have funds to see them safely through the season and that is a reasonable assumption to make.
However.....we have no idea what they are doing with any money they take in. UBIG's trading has been severly limited by actions in Lith and it is not unfeasible that the money raised by HMFC is actually being used to fund UBIG at this time. UBIG are entitled to do so as Hearts are certainly owe UBIG plenty.
We have not seen any actuals produced since June 2011 and the last few sets of accounts have stated that the Yams were entirely dependant on UBIG support, which has been withdrawn. HMFC also brought in £1m from a share issue which has not yet been registered getting on for five months after the share issue closed. No one who made the purchase in good faith has recieved what they paid for, to date at least.
A lot of assumptions I know but in the absence of facts I do not think any of the above is unrealistic, and I beleive that this is ceratinly more probable that the #allisbarry nonsense spouted by "the succulent yam"
I do not know if admin looms or not but there is no doubt they are not in a good position.

Incidentally, does anyone else notice that the jambo-minded journalists' tone has changed, or is that just wishful thinking colouring my judgement?

IMO withholding information Sevco style. If it's bad news don't report it.

The Hootsman still going with the Allisbarry line this morning and judging by the comments the believers still believe.
Out of interest what happens to a believer when reality slaps them in the face ?

Ukio Bankas in "tempoary administration" !
Evening News reports this as "temporary" whn the Lithuanian central bank is going to make them bankrupt on Thursday! That is why all these administration rumours are coming out.

I'm also curious how the Sun got hold of the "£15m due to UKIO Bankas." They can't be reading Hibs.net properly.

Below is th article linked above. Is Barry not missing the point? (Although, equally, I might be....) Surely the immediate risk is not a potential £15 million debt recall by UBIG, but UBIG themselves being placed in administration?
By BARRY ANDERSON
Published on 30/04/2013 08:36
HEARTS today responded to reports of imminent administration at Tynecastle by claiming their finances are under control.
Club officials did not deny administration is a possibility amid suggestions that Ukio Bankas administrators in Lithuania are about to call in up to £15million of debt. However, Hearts expect finance agreements with Ukio Bankas Investment Group (UBIG) and Ukio Bankas to continue.
The Edinburgh club are in debt to the tune of around £25million, £15m of which is owed to Ukio Bankas, the Lithuanian bank which is itself in temporary administration. All debt had been held by UBIG until late last year when £15m was transferred to Ukio Bankas.
Vladimir Romanov, the club’s majority shareholder, claims to be bankrupt and has been powerless to stop Lithuanian authorities shutting down his bank and splitting up its assets. The future of Hearts is at stake as any major recall of debt would force the Edinburgh club into administration, with the knock-on effects including a points deduction and possible relegation from the Scottish Premier League.
A Hearts spokesperson said today: “We are aware of rumours that surface every few months but the club has a firm
agreement in place with both UBIG and Ukio Bankas regarding debt arrangement.
“The club’s debt has reduced in recent years as it continues on its path to self-sustainability. Operationally, the club is working well and we expect to see more progress during the summer months as the squad is refreshed. It remains very much business as usual.”
Hearts confirmed that all players are currently fully paid to date, with suppliers and bills also being paid on time. UBIG had been helping to fund the club until January 2012, however, since then Tynecastle officials have been forced to work purely on whatever income the club generates by itself.
They will fight to avoid being placed in administration but the situation will be taken out of their hands if Ukio Bankas administrators recall the £15m.
That would trigger an automatic deduction of 17 points as per SPL rules regarding insolvency at clubs, which could be enough to relegate Hearts depending on results between now and the end of the season.
Were they to suffer administration after June 1 – the date that the new season officially starts – Hearts would remain in the SPL, although they could be deducted 12 points for the new campaign starting as a
percentage of their total from this season.

Bazza, if you're looking in:
1. It was the security that transferred, not the debt, and it wasn't a security for £15M.
2. Penalty this season is 18 not 17.
3. Penalty next season would be 14 (assuming no more HMFC points) not 12.
4. UKIO bank bankruptcy hearing is tomorrow, not worth a mention? You didn't know, did you ...
“The club’s debt has reduced in recent years as it continues on its path to self-sustainability. Operationally, the club is working well and we expect to see more progress during the summer months as the squad is refreshed. It remains very much business as usual.”
No tanks in Baghdad!

A little while back the Lith admin. was quoted as saying the debt agreement with Ukio Bankas was in place until May / June, can't quite remember, and that the supporters have some time to get organised and save their Club.
Anyone remember the actual date ?

The bit in bold is the green light for every small business owed money by them to get on the phone to Blacklocks and get legal proceedings moving. There's only one way they're going to get their money and sitting about waiting for it isn't the answer.Last edited by Part/Time Supporter; 30-06-2013 at 07:53 PM. Reason: posts merged

At a time when they want to rake in season ticket money - from deluded perverts - they are hardly going to jeopardise that by admitting things look ropey.
To be fair to those working at the Savile Dome, they only get fed any news when the Lith's can be @rsed anyway and that's when their pet monkey BAnderson comes in handy to pass it on.
It might take a while for anyone coming calling for their charge on the stadium but an imminent UBIG administration would be most welcome.
