Can't say I understand any of that. A bunch of companies seemingly owned by the same person reassigning debt, charging interest, then forgiving debt to each other. What is the point? Unless the money loaned and any interest on that money become quite separate in their eventual destinations, or the reassigned loans that are eventually forgiven in some way clean out some poor unsuspecting creditor of the original company, I just don't understand the point. I certainly don't understand the method. And why Romanov should ever have got involved in such a seemingly expensive adventure as Hearts has also never become clear to me. |

Ditto, Wassa. I guess there are two questions here. 1. What was he trying to do? 2. Did it work? I can't answer either of these. |

God Damn It Naebs. You were talking like you knew totally what was going on and were just teasing us. I thought if we indulged you sufficiently with confusion and flattery you would reveal all. You've let me and everyone else down terribly. |

Meh. To be honest, I can't work out whether Romanov's richer than us or poorer, or whether he's smarter than us or dumber. On a bald statement of facts, he's a bankrupt idiot. But it was clear for a very long time to even the most casual observer that things would end that way, so I'm reticent to assume it's the whole story. And what is the whole story? Fuck knows. |

And as a minor footnote, they've been barred from signing over-21 players until February. Seems rather irrelevant to me as not being able to pay more footballers until then seems to be the very least of their problems. I'm sure some of the more basic Jambo units will be irate. Meanwhile, I see another financially shonky but well supported Scottish football team barred from signing new players has somehow found themselves with too many players, meaning they need to get rid of some before they can buy any more. Hmph. |

And Rangers are moaning Hearts have not been punished the same as them, even though the crimes are different. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23542094 |

Season ticket sales must need a boost. It worked for Charles Green. |

Probably need to bump up the Sevco thread again to highlight what a grand governance job Regan and his crew are doing. Someone actually recruited this bunch

I remember asking (on the old board, I think) whether the cycle of HMFC monies looked a little like it had the potential for money laundering. Might Occam's razor be creeping us toward this conclusion? Or have I, once again, failed to grasp a fiscally-based poser? |

From the BBC: You'd have to say they've not come out bad from the whole debacle, apart from the 15 pt deduction, likely relegation and squad evisceration of course.... |

If you were to offer a decade of spending far beyond the means of the club's finances, followed by a year of penury, humiliation and 15 point deduction, I think most diddy club fans would take it. |

Things seem to be getting a bit tight for Hearts. Only enough money to run until end of the month, and each big important deadline seems to result in stalls and delays and nothing decided. Sure they'll want to avoid being liquidated, but it must be close. |
