Despite him bamness - Romanov always does have a point about Old Firm domination, media bias and how the whole thing is set up to favour the Old Firm.

 

Maybe if you ran a club and ploughed in your millions - only to be cheated by the old firm and the old firm bias every step of the way - maybe you'd begin to sound a bit fuckin mintal, ken?

 

 

He maybe does but he has a very colourful way of putting his points accross.

There is something very entertaining about Romanov to anyone of a non Hearts persuassion.

Can you imagine Wiggy coming out with statements like that ???

I like Romanov as he clearly has identified what is worng with Scottish football and he isn't afraid to shout his mouth off about, unlike so many others in this country who just tow the party line and bow down to the forces of evil.

He would have had a point if it was not for the fact that him sacking his manager and interfering in team selections being the biggest reason that his team never won the league.

You're bang on Jute, he did take it too far, but the one thing you could never slag him for was his total lack of fear about standing up against the evil forces in Scottish football

The Scottish Premier League board will consider possible sanctions against Hearts on Tuesday night after the league claimed the Edinburgh club have failed to pay their players' wages on time.

 

A statement read: "On January 4, 2012, a sub-committee of the SPL Board made various orders relating to late payment of wages due to 14 Heart of Midlothian players.

 

"One of those orders was that Heart of Midlothian should make full payment of January salaries due to the 14 players by the due date of January 16, 2012.

 

"The Scottish Premier League has now received confirmation from Heart of Midlothian that the club has failed to comply with this order.

 

"A meeting of the SPL Board of Directors has been called for this evening. At that meeting, the SPL Board will consider the situation and decide upon the appropriate course of action."

 

An SPL sub-committee had heard a complaint from PFA Scotland, acting on behalf of Hearts players, on January 4.

 

Hearts had been warned they could face punishment from the SPL if they didn’t pay on time this month, with unlimited sanctions available.

 

January salaries fell due on the 16th and, following confirmation wages had been processed by Lithuanian bank Ukio Bankas, Zaliukas says the squad have all received their expected monies.

 

The club had previously met other demands from the league, including paying interest accumulated from the late payment of salaries in October, November and December.

Hearts are claiming they paid everything and are disputing any further action from the SPL.

 

On 4 January 2012, a sub-committee of the SPL Board made various orders relating to late payment of wages due to 14 Heart of Midlothian players. One of those orders was that Heart of Midlothian should make full payment of January salaries due to the 14 players by the due date of 16 January 2012.

 

The club totally refutes the suggestion made in today's statement from the SPL that it failed to comply with this order.

 

The club has made payment of the remuneration to each of the Players on 16th January 2012 and has documentary evidence to this effect.

The Scottish Premier League has charged Hearts "with failing to behave with the utmost good faith to the SPL" after the club was late in paying its players.

 

Following an emergency board meeting, the league said it would tell the club of the hearing date in due course.

 

The SPL says Hearts failed to pay its players on the scheduled pay day, Monday 16 January, meaning wages were late for the fourth month in a row.

Good faith? Hearts? Lol!

 

Hearts will contest a Scottish Premier League charge of "failing to behave with the utmost good faith", following a dispute over the payment of January wages at the club.

 

The SPL had warned of possible action against the Edinburgh side if they failed to pay the salaries of first team players on January 16, with wages for the previous three months all having been paid late.

 

Salaries were processed by Lithuanian bank Ukio Bankas on the due date but the league insists Hearts failed to meet their deadline, with many players not receiving the money on time.

 

The club now stand accused of breaching SPL rule A3.1 and face the possibility of unlimited sanctions from the league. But Hearts say they are ready to challenge any attempt to punish them on this occasion.

 

"The club has noted the decision of the SPL this evening and will defend its position at the appropriate time," a short statement on the club’s website read.

 

"The club will make no further comment on the matter."

 

The SPL’s board of directors held a conference call on Tuesday night to discuss the appropriate course of action against the club, ruling that regulation A3.1 had been breached.

 

The specific rule states: "In all matters and transactions relating to the League and Company each Club shall behave towards each other Club and the Company with the utmost good faith."

 

SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster, chairman Ralph Topping, Stephen Thompson of Dundee United, Eric Riley of Celtic, Derek Weir of Motherwell and Steve Brown of St Johnstone currently comprise the board of directors.

 

Hearts insist they have “documentary evidence” to prove they paid their players on time, a claim which was refuted by the SPL.

 

In a statement on Tuesday evening, the league outlined its position, saying: "The Scottish Premier League Board met this evening to consider the alleged failure by Heart of Midlothian FC to comply with the terms of the order made by the SPL on January 4, 2012 that the club pay the January wages due to the relevant players on the due date of January 16, 2012.

 

"As a result, Heart of Midlothian FC are being charged under SPL Rule A3.1 with failing to behave with the utmost good faith to the SPL.

 

"A hearing date will be notified to the club in due course."

 

If the Scottish Premier League impose a sanction upon Hearts, with a fine, points deduction and/or transfer embargo amongst the possible punishments, the club would have the right to have an appeal heard by the Scottish Football Association.

WORRIED Hearts chiefs have asked Rangers to settle their £800,000 bill for Lee Wallace immediately – and have offered them a huge discount to get the cash up front.

 

Record Sport can reveal the troubled Tynecastle club are prepared to wipe more than £100,000 off Wallace’s £1.5million price tag so long as the Ibrox club – themselves staring financial disaster in the face – cough up the money in one go.

 

Wallace, right, signed for the SPL champs last summer in a deal which tied Rangers into paying three separate lump sums over a two-year period.

 

The first payment of £700,000 was made when Wallace first made the move across the M8.

 

But Rangers still owe Hearts two further instalments – to be paid in July of this year and next – of £500,000 and £300,000.

 

At the turn of the year, with Vladimir Romanov struggling to meet his first-team squad’s monthly wage bill, Hearts tabled the proposal they believe would suit both parties – increasing their cash flow in the short term while handing Rangers a longer- term bargain.

 

But although they were prepared to negotiate and could possibly have been persuaded to slice even more off the overall fee, they are still waiting on a response from Ibrox.

 

Now, with fears growing that Rangers could be forced into administration as they await a verdict from their legal battle against HMRC, Hearts are worried they might receive only a fraction of the cash they are due for Wallace.

 

Rangers could face this nightmare scenario if they lose the tax tribunal, over Employee Benefits Trust payments, which ended in Edinburgh yesterday.

 

A final verdict could be two months away but Hearts are still willing to sit around the table with owner Craig Whyte to discuss some sort of compromise before his own financial situation becomes any more perilous.

 

Hearts are still battling to keep their own heads above water following a bitter wages dispute with their first-team squad.

 

On Tuesday they were hit with an SPL disciplinary charge after failing to pay their players on time for a fourth successive month.

 

A source said: “There is a danger here that, if the situation at Rangers should worsen and the club tips into administration, Hearts are simply added to a list of creditors. If that happens they could lose a fortune on this deal.

 

“But Rangers also stand to save a fortune by entering into some kind of compromise agreement.

 

“It’s a sad reflection on the overall state of the Scottish game when two of the biggest clubs in the country are so desperate for cash at the same time.”

I'll never forget the jambo in my uni classes. Genuinely couldn't understand my viewpoints on all this pish that has been obvious to anyone with eyes for years.

 

Last I heard he was trying to make it as afootball writer.

 

Sad thing is it's far from being the last club whose fans will choose to believe the kjb promises, then bleat about how they're victims when their club dies.

 

Fuck em all.

 

At least our chairman is a parasite. Milne needs us to exist for him to feed.

 

unless we let this new stadium happen that is. In that case he'll move on to a new host and leave us to die.

 

But yeah, the schaadenfraude is cool for now.

Heart of Midlothian Football Club is facing fresh court action over unpaid tax.

 

HM Revenue and Customs has given the Edinburgh club eight days to pay a tax bill or face liquidation.

 

It is the fifth time in recent years that the club has faced legal action over unpaid tax.

 

Late last year, Hearts was forced to pay about £500,000 to ward off a winding-up order over an outstanding tax bill.

 

The club had similar winding up orders served against it in 2009 and November 2010 over unpaid tax to HMRC.

 

Both of these were settled after the club paid the bills.

 

In a statement, Hearts said: "The club is aware of the notice placed in a newspaper relating to an earlier petition presented to the Court of Session.

 

"We are confident, however, that the relevant matter involving HMRC will be resolved in the very near future and no action as specified in the public notice will be necessary."

Marian Kello has given his side of the dispute with the Hearts board that has seen him dropped from the first team after refusing a transfer to Austria Vienna.

 

The goalkeeper was told on January 31 that Hearts had accepted a £100,000 deadline day bid from Austria but Kello rejected the chance to move.

 

The established first-choice keeper was then left out of the squad for Hearts’ Scottish Cup match against St Johnstone on Sunday with the club initially saying that the player was injured before manager Paulo Sergio admitted that a “political” situation was behind Kello’s omission.

 

The Slovakia international, who is out of contract at the end of the season, insists that he is being pushed out by senior figures at Tynecastle but remains keen to continue playing for the club until summer.

 

“The club has signed two young keepers, I have been told,” Kello said. “I don’t feature in the future of the club and I haven’t been offered a new contract.

 

“I want to play for Hearts but they say they don’t want me for next season because of the money problems and they want to work with youngsters.

I hope they get fined for wasting the HMRC time and money every time they pull this shit

 

They'll be raking up penalties like nobodies business. First rule of running a business is always pay your tax liabilities first. With this and the Huns problems we could see a domino effect of clubs folding around Scotland.
