Martin_T Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I actually don't think it's too much to worry about, if the plant is loss making it makes sense to close it, especially if the price of aluminium is currently not making it worthwhile. None the less this was Tweeted by both Ewan Murray and Matthew Leslie on Twitter so I thought it was worth highlighting on here, before the usual bangers come on and start throwing acusations of 'agendas' about.

Tbf I'd be more inclined to put more of my money into a league set-up that wasn't corrupt and run by two uglies from Glasgow. And anyway he said he wants the club self sufficient. If he wants to put the money into the basketball then fine. Aslong as he's not walked away all together then I don't really see it being that big a problem.

Victorian Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 pretty sure when vlad came in at hearts that he didn't make any promises to ringfence all of his resources for the sole use of hearts like. he's already invested an eye-watering sum of money into hearts, most of which is irrecoverable now. he'd only be living up to his MAD VLAD image if he was to continue burning more money. if he wants to invest money into basketball instead then i say that's a matter for him and him alone. it's not our money to fret over.

Carl Spackler Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm not worried about this in the slightest. It involves Gazprom and the supply of gas to an entire country. It will all be political.

Peebo Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 http://af.reuters.com/article/energyOilNews/idAFL6E8J1K8W20120801 Apologies if posted already, but Vlad's Bosnian Aluminum mine appears to be in trouble. Might explain why Hearts have seemingly been cut loose. A chemical plant closing in Bosnia because it is struggling with pricing issues on both the supply and demand side probably has zero connection to Hearts being "cut loose".

Jezza Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Lets hope his Bosnian venture survives. The great man deserves no miss fortune in life. P.S if he wants to spunk his hard earned in a basketball side where he lives then fair dos. He can do what the fcuk he wants and has given our club more than enough over the years.

ToadKiller Dog Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Sounds like a whole Bosnia problem,maybe other nations in that region reliant on Gazprom also in the same boat than just the Birac plant though more acute for them given the low alumina prices . Gazprom/Russia likely bullying a bit to get an advantage also they put the pressure on EU countries over a dispute a while . Its certainly not good news for that part of his companies ,the plant is just one part of many possibly some affect on us but will be minimal as we for the most part are on our own devices now,likely see some political compromise and a deal made .

The Gasman Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 $13m is some gas bill But it's less than he's spending on Basketball, so he's choosing not to pay it (for political reasons?) rather than cant afford to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
