Don’t bet, tardy payers and immersed in our culture

1179

Quick question for you.  Which Scottish team has won their last four home games, scoring 13 goals in the process?  St Mirren are on a run of form at home.  One of those wins was against Second Division opposition, but remember, this season, Second Division teams are on a par with AC Milan in the early 90s.

Ross County scored four at St Mirren Park but St Mirren scored five, while Hearts were despatched 2-0.  This is a team with good home form who kept their squad in place over the international break.  My best advice to you is to avoid betting on this one.

Many clubs have trouble paying their bills but the problem with Hearts and their regular tardiness when it comes to wages, evident again this month, appears to be different.  Hearts cash balances will have peaked weeks, possibly months, ago.  From now on they will be eating into ‘reserves’, or more likely, accruing additional debt at their owner’s bank.  The club have been here many times before and Vlad has dipped into the equivalent of his commercial pocket to avoid an insolvency event but I’ve always found it curious why he didn’t do so on time.  It’s not as though anyone can be surprised pay day is coming.

As such, there appears to be a degree of control over late payment.  The money is always provided but not before pain is passed down from owner to earners, which is a bit curious.

For all his faults, and they are many, Romanov and other shareholders in Ukio Bankas have ‘invested’ countless millions in Hearts, money they are unlikely to get back with the residential property market so depressed.  They have also not exposed the club to outrageous fortune – the overwhelming majority of debt is owed to the bank itself, balances at HMRC and other creditors are low, and they pay their football debts.  This means that if Hearts go into administration, the route back through a CVA would be clear.  The only serious losers would be staff made redundant, while Ukio would face a write-off, perhaps already acknowledged internally.

I was surprised at the news Danny McGrain was appointed first team coach yesterday but also delighted.  Danny’s was not a name mentioned for the position when Alan Thompson left the club but he is immersed in the fabric and culture of our club.  ‘In the days of changing ways’ a strong thread of continuity is an invaluable asset in ensuring the new generations acquire the important elements of our identity.

We are a club in touch with all that is important.

  1. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Taken 2 is a very good film, especially if you’ve seen Taken (1) ……….

  2. I really hope the official date of their death is not the 5th of November, halloween is to close and with all those zombies and rockets farting about it will just seem like any other day round about here. Save a Rocket or Banger for the Big Liquidation Day. If you all could just save one firework it could shine a new light on a new beginning for scotish football.

  3. I read here short discussion on Ibrox disaster.

     

    It’s thirty years today since Luzniki disaster. On 20 October 1982 Spartak Moscow played against Dutch Haarlem in 1/16 UEFA Cup Winners. Twenty seconds before final whistle Spartak scored winning goal. Many people were on stairways. Some people tried to get back, some tried to leave the stadium while the gate was close. 66 people died. USSR official keep the tragedy secret. Some news on the tragic events were under covered in 1989. the truth in not know yet. Nobody knows if “only” 66 deaths is true number. Just to let you know becouse this tragedy is not known.

    From Moravcik67 on KDS:

     

     

    So I’ve never done anything like this before in all my time on KDS. But I thought you might like to know the following things which I’m led to believe are true…

     

     

     

    1) The result of the huns (R.I.P.) appeal against the Big Tax Case has been decided.

     

     

    2) It is now out of the hands of those involved in the Tribunal.

     

     

    3) The huns/Murray/whoever already know the result.

     

     

    4) They lost.

     

     

    5) The next week should be interesting.

     

     

     

    Yes I know we’ve heard stuff like this for the last year. And yes I know I’m probably setting myself up for a fall. So take my post with however many pinches of salt you wish. I’m merely passing on what I’ve been told – the information came independently from two sources, both of whom would be in a position to know such things

    Sorry PFayr – Tinto Firs clouds my judgement.

     

     

    Every single Donegal man who worked on that job was treated like shit, and every single one of them demanded that their kids did extra homework every night.

    Re the Thunderbird

     

     

    You haven’t lived until, as an underage drunkard, you’ve mistaken you’re ma an da’s bedroom window for your own, when attempting to sneak in the wee hours.

     

     

    Jumpin from the window sill onto a sleepin miner is a surefire way to get your teeth sorted.

    I usually post absolute crap on here but give me a wee second. On the day of their actual liquidation and death would it not be good to light up the skies with lanterns and fireworks just to let them know that we know? Let everyone know that they are dead and let the skies light up on this celebration of human progression.

     

     

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     

     

    I have my own little ritual ready………have watched the BBC highlights of the 3-0 HAMMERING of the zombies (5 mins) every night since……. On the day they are formally liquidated, I will delete it………LOL……..LOL……..LOL ……..TICK TOCK……!!!!!!!!

     

     

    The candle burned out on the day, the zombies went away…………………………………

  8. PFayr,

     

     

    Yes, Grasshopper. You have attained wisdom.

     

     

    SFTB,

     

     

    Vogts and Breitner were, of course quality fullbacks.

     

     

    I’m concentrating on right backs in the last twenty years and Cafu and Alves represent the attacking qualities that Danny pioneered.

     

     

    He also had the defensive side to his game, which more than compensated for his lack of finishing prowess.

     

     

    Danny’s tackling has never been equalled. Strong, accurate and clean as a whistle.

     

     

    You are correct, of course, that because of the selection finagaling of the SFA, his

     

     

    International reputation was gained in spite ot he SFA.

     

     

    The Exiled Tim,

     

     

    Just you behave yourself!! :>)

    I had a wee gander on RM earlier, and a couple of them were saying the same thing.

     

     

    As usual they were attacking the messenger……

    I never knew anything about that. Thanks, once again, for your excellent commentary, even when it is dark. :(

     

     

    Anyone who disrespects deceased people have obviously not experienced the pain of losing someone close.
