Need to remember there's a lot of personal positioning going on here. BDO, BJ, Foulkes, the press, politicians, Budge etc ALL have to appear to be doing what they can to save the Yams. If they go to the wall and BDO, Foulkes, etc have not been seen to make every effort to save them, they risk personal abuse and retribution from the raging hordes in Gorgie for years to come.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Yesterday was hugely significant. The reaction was predictable.

About as predictable as Fatty Foulkes pashing himself after imbibing too much of the Ambassador's vodka and claiming the cost of new trousers as an expense.

They were probably being cautious when they said that.

It's typically ironic ( although that in itself is common amongst Hearts fans ) that a man who in his early political career attacked tax havens, now supports a club and a cause who avoided paying tax.
Stay off the whisky George there's a good chap.

If true this is disgraceful and well beyond what is reasonable. It is clear that certain politicians will go to any lengths to try and save a disgraced bankrupt institution.

Someone should tell the UK ambassador he's paid to stick up for the UK taxpayer, not the tax dodgers!
Presumably, though, His Excellency will be politely told that things have to be done according to the rule of law, something a certain football club thinks doesn't apply to it.Last edited by PapillonVert; 29-03-2014 at 10:12 AM.

Relax, the conversation will go along the lines of 'had some Scottish drunk asking about a team called Hearts by the way.........those caviar canapés are delicious by the way.....so anyway William (Hague) was telling me......'
He'll be humouring the diddery old pretend toff drunk !

The days where the 'little tin pot countries' tremble in fear at pressure from the mighty UK ambassador are long gone I fear.

Typical yam response... "can't wait to be debt free and fan owned"
No your not going to be DEBT FREE if you come through this - you have taken on another debt and will be still paying others back.
You won't be fan owned either - Budgie will be in control and that is far from fan ownership!

Hibs email back yes -we can offer up to 8
Hearts - sorry we can't offer tickets ....we can offer you a signed shirt or ball...for 25 quid
BIG TEAM - more like TIGHT TEAM!
The club with no shame!

If you need to know, Gasman is Sergey, who is also Bajillions, who is in fact a Jambo troll, so in reality Gasman is bang on the money. Clear?

Hearts are a ****ing embarrassment. So is every single person connected to that horrible snide club. So pishy breaks gets folk to run along and beg to the Lith government to help his "poor little innocent club". Believe me they have bigger things on their plate right now and I'm sure he'll be told to **** right off!
The folk that lost their jobs the charities that were shafted over must be raging at all this. Were was the begging then? When real people earning a living and charities depending on money needed it? They were cut off and told "see ya."
Heart of Midlothian have became the laughing stock of football. The lowest of the low so to speak, hated by almost every club in Scotland with their bullying ways. Well it's game over, you are DYING, and I'll be just one of many happy Hibees when they do. Every hearts fan should be ashamed of that club, but just like the club itself they too have an attitude problem.

Mind he's a man who claimed expenses on property he inherited so don't expect a moral backbone.

My source is telling me BDO are worried. Where before they have been pretty open and honest, now they are just giving the minimum of information. A couple of other staff tried to ask about the problems yesterday and we're told to concentrate on their work and leave this up to BDO.
He reckons the liths have now cottoned on to what's happening in terms of getting ripped off and are doing something about it. He believes the "lack of technical detail" is BDO not providing the proof that this is the best deal for the Lithuanian creditors. They want independent valuations and proof the club was advertised for sale correctly. Remember FOH wasn't the highest offer BDO gave a set date for providing proof of funding that turned out to be irrelevant. BDO's desire to get this done and dusted quickly has meant they've been wasting time since November. He reckons the liths think BDO should have been doing more to get more money rather than just taking the first offer. He says it's clear to him BDO have been caught up in the romance and ended working for Hearts rather than the creditors.
A few other notable things from the discussion:
BDO have asked them to be prepared to "go back to the well" to keep them afloat.
BDO's fees aren't up to date yet.
Staff are worried their jobs will go even if they do survive as it's been made clear Budge wants to cut cloth. She's not interested in football success, she just wants to keep the club afloat.
Prize Money will be used to pay the footballing debt first so that's not going to save them.
