malcmac Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Haven't seen this on another thread, apologies if I am repeating this. BBC Website, for some reason the link won't copy, So..... Hearts say they have the problem with staff wages and players and non-football staff have have been paid. The club blamed a "technical hitch" for the delay to payments which should have gone through last Friday. "Payment has now been processed as planned and a similar situation is highly unlikely to arise again," said a statement on the Hearts website. "The minor error that occurred has not affected the running of the club in any way, all staff are working as normal." Backroom staff were expecting to receive their monthly salary on 24 September, but, after being summoned to a meeting on Tuesday, they were informed that this would not be the case. The club said they would be paid on Friday, but have done so earlier. Earlier on Wednesday club captain Christophe Berra reassured fans that the players had no intention of going on strike over the problem. At least Larry might be able to afford to pay the leccy bill now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

200milesfromgorgie Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Heartsfc.co.uk will have the headline 'Together' on friday. The feature will show the player all going to the cash machine 'TOGETHER ' to get out their wages. it'll be full PR gold. Meanwhile the 'doom mongers' will be changing the dirty soiled pants after a week of "i hate the evening hobo/daily rankers but still read them and get wound up by them on a daily basis" Samaritans are there for you. Bring on the derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Can't be bothered listening to radio Scotland tonight but has there been any update from them re apology about last nights rumour mongering. i presume Chick Young, Murdo MacLeod and Jim Spence have all apologised for saying we were out of business. Please forgive me as I read Chick's blog on BBC and he now says we will survive, but are only on short leash of Romanov. Surprisingly, supporters from other clubs think he has written good article. I wish the same fate for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Not been online much during this whole debacle, and don't want to start threads that have over five hundred replies, BUT, has anybody came up with an answer to this question? IF the story that Hearts is reporting is 100% correct and it was an administrative problem, why didn't they sort out the players and staff financially as soon as the error was noticed? Why would it take a whole week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOt saying he was covering his tracks, rather trying to find a solution that didn't mean telling VR what he had (or hadn't) actually done. I somehow think that the lines of communication at VR HQ are somewhat one way and autocratic. One is reminded of the Bhrezhnevite years of stagnation.

Why would it take a whole week? We do not have the full story, but I can suggest one scenario: - UBIG transferred the funds to HBOS on time but it was sent to the wrong IBAN address. - As UBIG keep their money in investments they do not have significant sums in their company account to make an immediate transfer when the 'glitch' comes to light. - UBIG wait for the 'missing' funds to be located before re-transferring to HBOS. - HBOS needs 3 days to process the salaries. Of course it could just be that UBIG required a wee payment holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
