malcmac Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 "Hearts rely on Vladimir Romanov's bank Ukio Bankas to guarantee their debts - now running at ?36.25million." What happened to ?12m write off in debt for equity? Also, did the ?36.25m include Gordon/Bednar cash??? "Hearts have been cutting costs in recent times in a bid to reduce the growing debt that was approaching the agreed ceiling of ?40m." Key word here is "was". No quotes apart from some "expert" pointing out that people currently have less money. Slow news day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconded It's all very well talking about freedom of speech and having 10 page threads disputing whether there is a grain of truth in their story and whether they have a democratic right to 'bring it into the public domain' ( that's for alleged head in the sand folk like me I guess ) IMO However that rags no more than an arse-wipe and every story is maxed out as far as negativity goes.

redm Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Exclusive: Hearts stars threaten strike action over missing wages Sep 24 2008 By Chris Roberts HEARTS stars have warned the club's owner Vladimir Romanov they could consider strike action if they don't get their missing wages by Friday. Fears for the club's financial future grew last night as angry players spoke to the Scottish Professional Footballers Association after yet another day went by without them receiving pay that was due last Friday. And they have said they will consider a dressing-room revolt if the Tynecastle club goes back on a promise made yesterday that all salaries will be met by the end of the week. It's not only players who are waiting as the rest of the club's employees were told they would not receive their monthly wages as scheduled today. Record Sport understands that last night the concerned first-team squad were texted by the club, informing them that they would get last week's money along with this week's in two days' time. And an official Hearts statement read: "The club will pay the players' wages for last week in full at the end of this week. "They will be paid with the current week's wages on Friday." The Jambos players had left their Riccarton training HQ yesterday afternoon expecting their salaries, which failed to reach them last Friday, to be in their accounts. But despite being promised, players were left shocked to find the cash had not arrived at their banks. The failure to pay staff at the club raises questions of a deeper problem at a time when the global banking system is in turmoil and Hearts rely on Vladimir Romanov's bank Ukio Bankas to guarantee their debts - now running at ?36.25million. Club sources confirmed a meeting was called yesterday at which employees were told they would not be paid but were also reassured that, like the players, they would receive their wages on Friday. A spokesperson said last night: "Staff will now all be paid in full on Friday. "They were told about this resolution this afternoon and, while there had been some concern over the uncertainty, they are now relaxed and happy with the situation. "Staff are paid monthly and this means payment will only be a few days behind, so it shouldn't cause any of our staff a serious problem." Hearts have been cutting costs in recent times in a bid to reduce the growing debt that was approaching the agreed ceiling of ?40m. Now if Hearts go back on their word again they face a potentially bitter dispute amid warnings the credit crunch could be about to squeeze Scottish football. Bryan Jackson, of accountancy firm PKF, said: "The credit crunch will affect football because if retail gets hit then merchandise, sponsorship and so on will be affected at clubs. "There seems to be problems everywhere and all clubs will have to be careful. "There is less money about and people have to be careful what they spend. "Things could get worse before they get better." . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Terraces Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Has there ever ben a players strike in the UK? Every f ***** g season you hear about it at some club or other - yet it never happens. Just another sad cliche for the journo trolls at the red tops. I've said it before, but the Hearts support has to be more 'proactive' in our approach to these pondlifes, especially on matchdays. We should make life, shall I say, 'uncomfortable' for them when they visit Tynecastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

269miles Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 There were players who refused to play for Gretna last season in the SPL when their wages stopped coming in. Isn't it the case that if a club fails to pay its players then the players automatically become free agents and are released from their contracts. Maybe it's part of Vlad's plans to get new players in. Every cloud has a silver lining , and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hamilton players refused to play because of unpaid wages a few seasons ago. The fixture was postponed and Hamilton were deducted 15pts and ended up relegated. I don't believe the players will go on strike. I just find this ironic because I was accused of 'sensationalising' this yesterday! Why do we give them (the press) the ammo to really sensationalise things?

kennygarland1 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 There were players who refused to play for Gretna last season in the SPL when their wages stopped coming in.

jammyheart Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 The record and others have no thought for the people who work at Hearts ,they must be worried enough without the steerin crap they spill out in there papers if that reporter can`t back this story up with source he should be sacked for causin more stress than they already might have. All in all this is really sad to say but the majority of the weegie press and that Chick Dung last night on bbc radio scotland seem to be willin this to be true so they can say I told you so from the beginnin.
