Hearts boss Gary Locke fears that the club may yet be liquidated.
Nine months after going into administration the club is staring at relegation into the Championship and are still waiting on news from Lithuania to see if their CVA will be approved.
Non-billionaire Ann Budge is lined up to head a new look board backed by the Foundation of Hearts but Locke admits that the future is far from assured.
“As a football club Hearts are still not out of the woods yet,” the Tynecastle boss admitted. “The deal could collapse – but I pray that does not happen. The next month could be crucial in terms of the club surviving.
“If all goes to plan and things go well then we can start to rebuild the team on the playing side. The club is awaiting positive news from Lithuania but we know we have to rebuild again.
“I’m trying to look at the positive side of things. We’re hoping Ann will come in and take the club forward but at the back of my mind there is still a lingering doubt about events in Lithuania.
“The next month is critical. Hopefully it will have the positive ending that we all want. Until it is signed off, we won’t know.”
Hearts face Dundee United tomorrow night knowing that they could be relegated next weekend against Hibs if results continue to go against them.
The Easter Road club have already sold out their allocation of tickets for Tynecastle as their fans prepare for some sort of revenge on their debt funded Scottish Cup defeat in 2012.
Well if they are liquidated, I for one will hope they’re voted straight into the top league. The entertainment value concerning the Sevconians would be off the scale!
They’re gonna die like the rangers…
Die like the rangers 🙂
Let’s see how the SFA and the MSM go about dealing with liquidation when or if it happens tae the Edinburgh monkeys, an ezy ride tae the top with the help of the Edinburgh establishment.. hope they go belly up just like there govan zombie cousins.. HAIL HAIL, 126 YEARS OF UNBROKEN HISTORY+
Flats Flats glorious Flats !!
No sympathy for another CHEATING club.
This worry will be good for one ( or is that two ) jambos.The BIG girl in the picture, giving Griff
abuse, must surely have lost weight by now.Many sleepless nights worrying if she will be able to
ever go back to Swinecastle to munch on her tray of mutton pies.
Just what the doctor ordered, re weight management !!
What is it with huns and cheating
CHEERIO !
I’ve not got much sympathy for them, but let’s not forget that Heart’s cheating dims in comparison to the zombies cheating: Hearts borrowed too much money. The zombies stole it from the taxman and from the people they owed money. Hearts were stupid. The zombies were criminal.
The sofa will help them just like that lot from lpox
jbb,
I thought that was a good word you were
using,to describe the sfa.As they are soft
in their dealings with sevco.
