What a win

What an atmosphere

There were terrible, just a shame we didn't hammer them, but given all the 1-0 wins they've had over us in recent years I'll take that with bells on.

 

Surely we must win on tue, then it is a huge game at the Hunnery.  After that it should only be ours to throw away. 

That's cheered me up a bit. 

Might not have any relevance next season 

Apparently Mr Romanov should have been meeting Lithuanian police today, never turned up and his people saying he had a stroke in Moscow.

LITHUANIAN prosecutors have demanded Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov offer up more evidence he has suffered a stroke.

The colorful Tynecastle chief reportedly fell ill on a visit to Moscow earlier this week and was rushed to hospital.

He has told reporters in Lithuania he has no immediate plans to return to the country and will undergo further tests in Moscow next week.

Russian doctors have sent a medical certificate to Lithuania’s Financial Crime Investigation Service, who are probing Romanov amid allegations of embezzlement and fraud following the collapse of Ukio Bankas.

However, prosecutor Simon Minkevicius claimed the medical certificate raised as many questions as answers.

He said: “The certificate is missing some required particulars and does not meet our requirements. It raises a certain amount of doubt.

“The medical certificate must have medical institution stamps but some data is missing.

“Mr Romanov has promised to send a further medical document, then we will deal with the next steps.”

Romanov told Lithuanian reporters he has spent time in a Moscow hospital but did not specify where. He claims he has since been discharged.

He said: “I’ve just been released from the hospital - I go back to see the doctor again next week.”

Hearts are in the dark about the wellbeing of Romanov, whose Ubig group controls 79 per cent of shares in the club.

A spokesman said: “We’ve not had any notification that Mr Romanov has suffered a stroke but if that’s the case our thoughts are naturally with him and his family.”

Hearts director Sergejus Fedotovas has confirmed to BBC Scotland that the club's parent company UBIG has asked to be declared insolvent.

    Fedotovas is a former board member of UBIG as well as being a member of the Tynecastle club's board.

    The Lithuanian investment company has been placed on a list of companies "unable to meet their obligations".

    The list is published on the Lithuanian government's Enterprise Bankruptcy Management Department website.

    UBIG and their sister company Ukio Bankas, which has collapsed with debts of £380m, own 79% of Hearts' shares.

    Hearts owe £10m to UBIG and £15m to Ukio Bankas, who are in the process of challenging a bankruptcy order in Lithuania.

    The Scottish Premier League has been monitoring the situation with some clubs having raised questions as to whether Hearts were in danger of suffering an insolvency event.

    If that should happen before Sunday, there could be a risk Hearts would incur a 17-point penalty and thus be relegated.

    As things stand, bottom club Dundee are on their way to the First Division and there is a 13-point gap between the Dens Park side and Hearts.

    Hearts play their final match of the season against Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Saturday.

The phrase 'cock tease' springs to mind

 

DONS SEND JAMBOS DOWN

 

 

As factually incorrect as the last time but would be another headline to remember.

 

 

Excellent!! 

 

Never stops being funny that pic.

 

haha just saw this, I was living in Edinburgh at the time and remember seeing a Hearts Premier League Champions hat lying in the middle of the road that someone had thrown away round the corner from our house LOL.

    The financial crisis engulfing Hearts will be on the agenda when the Scottish Premier League board meets on Monday.

    Hearts' Lithuanian parent company UBIG has asked to be declared insolvent but no court hearing has yet taken place.

    SPL rules state that the season finishes on the completion of all fixtures, which is Sunday afternoon.

    But if the SPL board decides there has been a rule breach prior to the season's end, any subsequent action will apply to this campaign.     That could mean that Hearts are deducted a third of the 52 points they earned in season 2011/12.     Rounded up, the loss of 18 points would mean they finish bottom of the table, behind Dundee.     The SPL are currently gathering all relevant information regarding UBIG's bid to be declared insolvent.     And the league is taking legal advice on its rules surrounding insolvency matters.

    UBIG and their sister company Ukio Bankas, to whom Hearts owe £15m and which has collapsed with debts of £380m, own 79% of Hearts' shares.

    Hearts play their final league game of the current campaign at Aberdeen on Saturday.

If they don't go down this year they'll be gonners next year. Only question is whether they'll still exist.

 

Tick Tock

 

If they exist and go down next season, they could possibly be in Div 1/SPL2 with Rangers, just a pity there may be playoffs and they could both get back up.

SPL rule no insolvency for UBIG #bbcsportscot

 

#SPL say they are satisfied no insolvency event took place at UBIG during season 2012/2013 based on info available. #Hearts

News reporting that there is not enough evidence to make a judgement.

Doesnt sound like they are 'satisfied' to me

Jambos have signed Danny Wilson on a three year deal from Liverpool. Worth a look when they go burst in the summer?

Jambos have signed Danny Wilson on a three year deal from Liverpool. Worth a look when they go burst in the summer?

 

WTF

 

How can they possibly do that ?

Realise there are no sanctions in place to stop them signing players, but seriously how can they do that, and secondly what does it say about the boy Wilson going there

very strange decision!?! Especially on his part

How the fuck don't we get decent players on loan?

Wilson said he sought assurances, got them and was happy with that. The boy obviously wants to play football.

A CONSORTIUM of Scandinavian businessmen vying to take control of Hearts have dispatched a legal team to Lithuania to thrash out a deal for the club.

The unnamed syndicate comprised of six Norwegian businessmen “with an educational background from Edinburgh”, first surfaced several months ago.

However, their interest was thought to have flagged until the sudden release of a statement through sports management firm, Crest SportsGroup. Talks between the group and rival consortium Foundation of Hearts had taken place back in February but a second round of discussions in regards a joint bid never materialised.

The group have now made clear their intentions with “a comprehensive business case and action plan” in place and “a team working full time ?in Kaunas” to monitor the ?situation.

Their statement reads: “We have made contact with the appropriate authorities in Lithuania and elsewhere to gain access to the necessary information, as well as make it known that this group of businessmen may be interested in fielding a bid for the club.

“We currently have a team working full-time in Kaunas to monitor the situation and keep contact with the appropriate parties in relation to the situation at Heart of Midlothian FC. This team includes the necessary local legal capacity to field a bid for the club and negotiate the terms of a takeover, should a decision to move ahead be taken.”

However the group have also made it clear that they are unwilling to take on any of the club’s current £25 million debt.

According to Metro this morning they are in for Kris Boyd along with Killie.

He's not off to der hun then??

Boyd will stay with Killie if the interview I heard yesterday is anything to go by

I think hearts just make up these stories themselves in order to sell season tickets!

Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov could be the subject of an international manhunt after going missing amid suspicions that he embezzled £12m from his collapsed Ukio Bankas. (The Mail)

 

From BBC Gossip

:rofl: :rofl:

 

The former main shareholder of ?kio Bankas, Vladimir Romanov, is suspected of asset embezzlement on a large scale, writes www.alfa.lt.

 

In particular, it is suspected that Romanov could have squandered approximately 50 million LTL. If the former banker does not attend scheduled interrogations, the Lithuanian Financial Crime Investigation Service (FCIS) will be forced to ask the court to issue a European arrest warrant.

 

FCIS, which conducts the pre-trial investigation of Romanov’s case together with the General Prosecutor’s Office, expressed their suspicions on the embezzlement of 50 million LTL on 29 April, 2013.

 

Vladimir Romanov acknowledged the reception of the official statement and invitation to the first interrogation, and on 2 May, 2013, he, together with his lawyer, was supposed to attend the first interrogation session at the FCIS’ special task service. However, Vladimir Romanov on 30 April left for Moscow and did not come back to attend the interrogation. Romanov’s spokesperson informed that Romanov suffered from a heart attack in Moscow and was in hospital.

 

Lithuanian law enforcement institutions are now determined to announce international search of Vladimir Romanov, if he does not show up.

 

It is said that the controversial banker is being protected in Moscow by the people of Ramzan Kadyrov – the president of the Republic of Chechnya. The bodyguard group is said to belong to another contentious businessman of Chechen origin, Ruslan Baisarov, who used to have a certain tie with Lithuania in the past, as he was married (now divorced) to the singer Kristina Orbakait?.
