    I don't remember them all standing on the away Terracing at the Hands off Hibs event and that was there chance to show Solidarity with our plight so I assume they were happy with Mercers devious ploy when Tiny Rowland had shafted us to buy hotel chains in Bristol that were going down the swanny, he set up our then out his depth chairman ,Mr Duff to have a meeting with mercer in London to help us out financially .Duff had no idea he was meeting mercer and no idea the proposal being put to him was I will help out but make Hibs extinct in the process .

    We can hardly look silly after telling them for years it would end in tears.

    All that we can get wrong now is that they won't be liquidate.

    Everything else we have predicted has come to pass. Self sufficiency; missing shares; Vlads Disappearance; Administration; more cake sales; no transfer of owner ship; missed deadlines (August, October, December, January, March) ; relegation (remember how they'd be past us by September).

    I wish I was in Bulgaria, the tears of pride are welling up. Thanks to the experts on here, we have been miles in front of the media, and the Hearts rumour mill at every step.
    I agree on all that. I was referring only to the frozen shares.

    I am not looking for them to become as extinct as a Dodo ,but The big L seems to me to be a fair cop as they say .But others that feel administration is fairer are entitled to there opinion and what will be will be . Your right I won't worry
    Agree most of this especially the bit about the your average yam being pretty triumphalist about shutting us down, there weren't many sympathising with us that's for sure.

    The Rowland in question was David Rowland a much nastier piece of work than tiny Rowland allegedly, we quite like his ex missus though

    Duff got about 18 months for some mortgage fraud business, nothing to do with Hibs . Did time in an open prison which was pretty cushy but got struck off as a Solicitor.

    At least our Mr Nasty had a waterfront penthouse in Monte Carlo, unlike the Govan lot whose " wealth off the radar " Motherwell born Billionaire stayed in back street in Monte Carlo about a mile from the front.

    Correct. Too many people believing the Jambos version of this story which is that Duff and Gray were jailed for things which went on at Hibs. Total lies too cover their embarrassment at having Dot Cotton look after their finances/laundry over the years. Gray was never jailed, Duff served time for some dodgy mortgage business in Swindon a couple of years after the take-over attempt.

    Which makes me wonder. Whatever happened to the Leslie Deans story? He's been charged with working for Mr Popadopoulous and not a cheep from the EEN after one story last year.

    Hibs class shyster , who also had a boat moored at Southampton I believe, was allegedly visited by some hibbies who obviously had a boating background.

    Done well for himself since mind.http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...reasurer-quits

    Meeting delayed. Oh that's terrible news. The poor wee YAMs must be getting worried.

    They definitely appear to have changed this to BIDCO. The original CVA said FoH but since Budge was unveiled they have only talked of BIDCO. Maybe this is a straightforward change?
    Wouldn't have thought so.

    The CVA was proposed in FOH's name, and I can't see that that could be changed. I suspect it's just lazy journalism and they're not as pedantic as me

    This is the bit I don't get.

    Has it actually been delayed? The UKIO admin said it would probably take place "next week". The 7th is a week on Monday.

    Was it ever going to happen next week? If it was, what difference does a couple of days make?

    Bit of non-news, IMO.

    It's what I think as well but only based on the opinions on here, one Bloomberg article and a few references to Portsmouth.
    I'm surprised at the complete silence on the issue from anyone connected with Hearts including BDO. This little Jambo omertà means that I can't be sure that they have not had assurances from people in Lithuania that achieving the CVA will be enough to unlock the freezer. BDO appear to be making more progress than many on here predicted.
    Agree with that. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bit of behind the scenes stitching up going on. Any money recovered from the Yams goes to UKIO and ultimately the Lithuanian state bank bail out fund. Most money recovered from UBIG will end up the same. Since they seem to have decided to take the £2.5M for a quick and easy transaction, it suits all parties to make it as quick and easy as possible. There is obviously still the possibility the courts will block everything anyway but it does seem that 29.9% of UBIG's holding has found its way to UKIO control. How does that square with the freezer theory?

    UKIO had 29.9% of the HMFC shares pre-admin. They've had that for a long time, before the Court order.

    Has anyone got a list of thier top 10 earners just to remind ourselves of how outwith thier means they were living and what was the most we ever paid ,was it five grand a week ? To Sauzee
    According to this:

    http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/...yroll-1.143001

    £6K per week for Sauzée.

    I think Craig Gordon was their highest earner, at c £18K per week.

    I think there are tribes in Papua New Guinea, with no electricity and a literacy rate of 0.8% that know more about Mr. Duff than you do Ronnie.

    Read this http://www.hibs.net/archive/index.php/t-237713.html .

    It's what sets us apart from the Jambos, willingness to face up to our mistakes.

    What about the 15% held by VR's neice (?), does that have any affect on proceedings? Does the CVA also need those shares or would it mean that a relative of VR would have 15% in HoMFC after a successful CVA?
