It was announced yesterday afternoon that Hearts have been issued with a winding-up order over an unpaid tax bill of £450,000, but in total The Jambos have generated a debt of over £2 million.
The Scottish club have a week to pay or face being closed down and will be the second team in the SPL in a matter of months to file for bankruptcy following the financial demise of Glasgow Rangers, who were officially liquidated in June.
The board have released a statement urging fans to contribute what they can in order to ensure the club’s survival. One of the initiatives suggested is for investment from supporters into a recently launched share-issue or to buy tickets in advance for future games such as the clash with champions Celtic at Tynecastle on November 27th.
The club’s official website reads: “Without your help now, we could be entering the final days of the club’s existence. There are limited options for the Board of Directors to take to avoid the catastrophic consequences that a funding shortfall would mean for the club.
“The power is still in the hands of every Hearts supporter and for that reason we want to be as honest and transparent with you in the hope that you, too, believe that this club is worth saving.
“Now please make every effort you can to take any or all of the four steps outlined above and help this great sporting institution survive.”
The club will also be hit with a 17 point deduction should they be forced to file for bankruptcy, which would further damage Hearts’ chances of survival.
A journalist for Scottish Newspaper the Daily Record, told talkSPORT this afternoon: “We are in a very, very serious situation with Hearts.
“Hearts have a week to pay the best part of £500,000.
“They don’t have the money to pay, and unless the fans come up with the money the club will close down.

“They have no money to pay for it, it must come from supporters
“It is catastrophic for Scottish football” he added.
Unai Emery’s appointment as Arsenal manager has – after a false start – been officially confirmed by the club, signalling the dawn of a new era at the Emirates Stadium following the departure of Arsene Wenger.
The former PSG and Sevilla manager replaced Mikel Arteta as the frontrunner to replace the legendary Frenchman at the 11th hour and brings with him experience of winning trophies, managing elite players and getting teams to punch above their weight.
He may not be the sentimental appointment to get the fans buzzing like Mikel Arteta, Thierry Henry or Patrick Vieira would have been but he is vastly more experienced than those figures.
In any case, the Gunners fans, who have spent the last few years largely lobbying for Wenger’s removal – in truth, often without much consideration for who may come in instead – appear to be suitably excited about the prospect of going into the new season under Emery’s guidance.
Even though the transfer window has closed, that doesn’t mean that West Ham cannot get yet more business done. Sam Allardyce has shown a willingness to delve into the bargain basement in the past, with Carlton Cole a product of the freebie market, which could tempt him back in in the coming weeks.
Although the Hammers enjoyed a fine summer transfer window, a few more bodies could benefit their push for a top half finish, and there are a few tempting options out there for them.
In case ‘Big Sam’ hasn’t had time to scour the market, we at Football FanCast have been researching, and here are six free agents for the Irons to consider…

A Brazilian international who represented the Selecao as recently as two years ago available on a free transfer? A bit of a no brainer for West Ham if they can pull the deal off. The versatile forward can play as a lone frontman or in a withdrawn role and is only currently without a club after agreeing a contract termination with Valencia due to Spain’s strict non-EU player quotas.
At 30, his best days are not too far behind him, and with his mix of pace, power and technique he could be a wise addition for Sam Allardyce as he looks to produce a more ‘easy on the eye’ Hammers XI. Let’s face it, he can’t be any worse than Carlton Cole.

‘Big Hugo’ is actually a player West Ham tracked over the summer following his release from Besiktas. Wage issues were understood to have scuppered the deal, but the burly Portuguese striker may be more willing to relent on his demands now that the transfer window has closed.
With Andy Carroll out of action, Almeida would be a good stand-in, and he can certainly do a job at the top level at 30.
Sotiris Ninis

Once the golden boy of Greek football, Ninis has endured a woeful few years which were capped with his release from Parma over the summer. The impish attacking midfielder has had his injury problems, but at just 24 he could be a big, big talent if he can be kept fit and firing.
After being dropped from Greece’s World Cup squad he has a point to prove, and he might add more guile to the Irons’ attack.
Ronaldinho
//www.youtube.com/embed/idYEGhn4LVo
It’s mad to think that the player dubbed the best on the planet less than ten years ago is now in the football wilderness. Everyone’s favourite buck-toothed trickster has bounced around the Brazilian top tier in recent seasons, but his time at Atletico Mineiro was brought to a close earlier this year, leaving him without a club.
The 34-year-old captained his country in 2013 and would certainly be a ‘wow’ signing for the Hammers if they could match his, almost certain, massive wage demands. A move to the MLS or Middle East is an option for ‘Ronny’, but it would be great to see such a star in the Premier League.

A disappointing spell at Sunderland was brought to a close over the summer, leaving the former Liverpool left-back searching for a new employer. At 32, he could be a good back-up option for Aaron Cresswell and offer Sam Allardyce more depth as he sets about securing a top half finish.
Dossena impressed in Italy with Napoli and is adept in a 3-5-2 formation, which appears to be the new Premier League trend…
Anthony Reveillere
Football – France Training – London Colney – 10/11 – 15/11/10Anthony Reveillere – France during trainingMandatory Credit: Action Images / Steven Paston
Champions League experience and bags of ability, Reveillere is a decent right-back available on a free transfer. Joey O’Brien has long been a dependable option, but the Frenchman could well be an upgrade on the reliable full-back.
Napoli opted to release the 34-year-old recently, but he could well have a few good years left in the tank for West Ham to make use of.
Everton are expected to be one of the busier teams in the transfer window this summer both in terms of departures and arrivals. And one name that has been linked with a move to Goodison Park is Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles. However, according to the Evening Chronicle, Everton have cooled their interest in the central defender, which could end up being a mistake.
The Breakdown
There’s no doubt that Everton will be in the market for a centre-back during this transfer window. Funes Mori has already left the club with Ashley Williams set to follow, according to the Daily Star, while captain Phil Jagielka is at the age where his defensive performances are no longer as solid as they used to be.
Therefore, the interest in Lascelles made complete sense. The 24-year-old, who is valued at £13.5m by Transfermarkt, was one of the standout centre-halves in the Premier League last season and helped inspire Newcastle to a 10th place finish on the Tyneside club’s return to English football’s top division.
Lascelles inspired form and overall standing at the club has undoubtedly seen his valuation rise to a valuation Everton may be unwilling to meet.
The Toffees, though, thanks to billionaire majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri, have the funds and if they are looking to reinforce their defence, then Lascelles is exactly the kind of player that can help them do so.
On the other hand, new head coach Marco Silva and Director of Football Marcel Brands may just simply have other targets in mind for the centre-back position.

But if last season is anything to go by, then the duo at Goodison Park will struggle to find a better defender than Lascelles.
It was fitting for a one-day series that has felt distinctly un-loved that Michael Clarke was presented with his trophy in front of a near empty Ageas Bowl on a chilly September evening

It was fitting for a one-day series that has felt distinctly unloved that Michael Clarke was presented with his trophy in front of a near empty Ageas Bowl on a chilly September evening.For a few reasons this series, although played in front of near full-houses, has not felt as though it has captured the imagination. The weather, which ruined two matches, England’s decision to rest five key players and the general fatigue that follows an intense Ashes campaign were all contributing factors.However, Michael Clarke was not going to allow such excuses to dampen his delight at claiming a trophy, their first in any format in England since winning the one-day series in 2009 by 6-1 margin.”For a lot of people this series doesn’t mean a lot, but to this team it meant a great deal,” he said. “We haven’t performed as well as we would have liked as a one-day unit in the UK over the past couple of years and all the boys have worked exceptionally hard. It’s a great reward for that hard work. Everyone in our changing room was extremely excited and so we should be, we deserve this win.”Clarke was doubtful for the deciding match after another flare up of his chronic back problem, which has been a talking point throughout the tour. Although not moving entirely freely – and he admitted the back was “pretty sore” after the match – he contributed 75 in the series-defining stand of 163 with Shane Watson.”I certainly wouldn’t have taken the field if I thought I was going to let the boys down,” he said. “If I couldn’t perform at my best I wouldn’t have taken the field, but I certainly didn’t want to miss this game. My back was certainly sore over the last few days and it’s quite sore now, but we won so it was worth it. It was nice to contribute as well, I had the easy job standing at the other end to Watto – the way he played made my job a lot easier. It’s a nice feeling to be sat here as winners of the series.”For Watson, who became a figure of fun during the height of his lbw and DRS issues in the Tests, this was a pleasing way to conclude a tour where, barring a niggle at the tail-end of the Durham Test, he has been able to stay injury free. “It’s always nice when you day turns out well,” he said. “Everyone knew how important it was to win the one-day series. It’s a really exciting time in Australian cricket to see how we are evolving.”Clarke will now return to Australia – which may not feel like home after such a stretch overseas – but only for two weeks before, fitness permitting, he takes the one-day squad to India for a seven-match one-day series. That does not seem ideal ahead of another Ashes series, although care is being taken by the selectors not to repeat the mistakes of 2010-11 when a similar trip meant very little preparation time for the Tests, but Clarke sees this one-day team as an equally important element.”The India series is pretty important to is, we want to get back to No. 1,” he said. “We need to get more consistent away from home and this series was a good start.”Eoin Morgan, meanwhile, was left to reflect on England’s self-inflicted damage in the first half of the run chase with the run outs of Kevin Pietersen and Luke Wright for ducks which undid an impressive final 20 overs with the ball.”At one stage, they looked like getting about 350,” he said. So to restrict them to under 300 on a very good wicket, we felt it was a chaseable total. It was disappointing not to get closer, or even over the line. Two run-outs don’t help. We lost wickets throughout the whole innings, didn’t have a substantial innings from any individual or a big partnership.”
Na noite da última quarta-feira, o Internacional derrotou o Alianza Lima por 2 a 0 e se consolidou na liderança do grupo A da Libertadores. Agora, o foco do Colorado é o Gre-Nal do fim de semana, que acontece na casa do rival.

Diferente dos últimos anos, o Colorado chega ao duelo em alta. Após um começo de ano turbulento, Odair Hellmann encaixou as peças e seu time mostra evolução a cada jogo. Já o Tricolor mantém a invencibilidade no estadual, mas não conseguiu vencer na Libertadores.
Sem perder a humildade, o comandante do Internacional foi questionado se a sua equipe entrava como favorita no domingo e não quis saber de polêmica. Sucinto, ele jogou a bomba para o lado do rival. ‘Não tenho muito para falar sobre o jogo. O favorito é o Grêmio’, disparou.
Vale lembrar que, em 2018, Internacional e Grêmio se enfrentaram cinco vezes, com duas vitórias do Colorado, dois triunfos do Tricolor e um empate. No último duelo, o Inter levou a melhor pela vantagem mínima no Beira-Rio.
Após nove rodadas do Gauchão, o Grêmio é o líder do torneio, com 23 pontos. Enquanto isso, o Colorado aparece na vice-liderança, com 19. Se ainda quiser sonhar com a ponta da classificação, o Inter precisa vencer os dois jogos e torcer para que o adversário não vença nenhum dos compromissos.
Somerset’s modest supremacy was exercised by Craig Kieswetter, who was twice dropped on his way to making his first Championship century of the season

Present-day Edgbaston has amphitheatrical architecture and the atmosphere of an arena, so maybe it was appropriate that three lions bit deep into these two sides before this match began. Warwickshire, of course, were resigned to losing Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell to the full England side but they may be without Chris Woakes, too, while the national team’s second string has claimed Boyd Rankin.The Lions also required the services of Somerset’s Jos Buttler and Jamie Overton but Somerset’s batsmen must have reckoned they had a chance of building a substantial total against an under-strength attack, all the more so when they won they won the toss and opted to have first use of a pitch that seems likely to help spinners later in the game.Yet it was not until late-ish in the second session of the first day that Marcus Trescothick’s men began to dominate the home attack and even that modest supremacy was exercised by Craig Kieswetter, who was twice dropped on his way to making his first Championship century of the season.By the evening, the Somerset wicketkeeper-batsman had begun to play with something of his familiar swagger and it needed the new ball to remove him, Keith Barker catching his edge with extra bounce when Kieswetter had made 148 off 192 balls.His hundred was particularly good news for his relegation-threatened county, accompanying suggestions that Nick Compton may yet sign a new contract to remain at the County Ground.”There’s no signature on any paper but we’re pretty close,” Somerset’s director of cricket, Dave Nosworthy, said. “It’s been going on for a few weeks but it’s very much his decision. We would very much love to have Nick Compton remain at Somerset.”It is understood that Warwickshire have made formal 28-day approaches for both Compton and Buttler. In the meantime, however, the home team’s concern is to further their ambition to retain their title by defeating Somerset in this game and, after 20 overs of the morning’s play, they had made a decent start. By then Compton had padded up to a ball from Barker which swung in late and Chris Jones had slapped Tom Milnes straight to Jeetan Patel in the gully.And it was Patel who claimed the still-prized wicket of Trescothick when his third ball of the day turned and caught the edge of the Somerset opener’s bat before going on to the safe hands of Rikki Clarke at slip. That left the visitors on 65 for 3 and in danger of wasting the opportunity to bat first.Such profligacy was averted first by an 89-run partnership between Kieswetter and James Hildreth, who limply guided Milnes to Varun Chopra when on 33, and then by an even better stand of 119 in 32 overs which Kieswetter shared with Barrow.Gradually the England international began to play with his familiar savage assurance. He put behind him his two let-offs on 22 and 74, slip Chopra and gully William Porterfield being the offending parties, and asserted himself in a manner the supporters at Taunton know and love. He reached a century with a scrambled two off Patel but his sixes down the ground and over long-on were dismissive reminders to Milnes of how unforgiving Division One cricket can be.Still, though, Warwickshire were allowed their encouragements and most of them came through the bowling of Patel. The New Zealand offspinner turned one sufficiently to beat Barrow’s back foot defensive stroke and he then induced Peter Trego, pretty brainlessly if truth be told, to hit his second ball straight to Barker at mid-on.Those reverses began a 17-over spell in which Somerset lost their last six wickets for 67 runs, two of them falling to Clarke in the space of five balls. In their way they epitomised a day which had contained its share of both excellence and error. Neither of these sides can afford much of the latter if they are to achieve their contrasting objectives. Warwickshire will need to bat well in their first innings and Somerset’s decision to give left-arm spinner George Dockrell the new ball suggests merely one of this match’s future themes.

يتطلع نادي برشلونة الإسباني إلى بيع 4 من لاعبي الفريق الأول قبل بدء جولته التحضيرية في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية.
ويريد برشلونة خفض فاتورة الأجور من خلال بيع بعض اللاعبين بسبب الوضع المالي للنادي الكتالوني.
وفقًا لتقرير وارد في صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية، يريد برشلونة بيع كليمنت لينجليه وأليكس كولادو وفرانك كيسيه وسيرجينو ديست، قبل المغادرة إلى أمريكا يوم الأربعاء المقبل.
لينجليه عاد إلى برشلونة بعد أن قضى الموسم الماضي معارًا إلى توتنهام، والمدافع الفرنسي خارج حسابات المدير الفني تشافي هيرنانديز.

ديست أيضًا لعب الموسم الماضي على سبيل الإعارة في صفوف ميلان الإيطالي، وظهر في 8 مباريات فقط في الدوري الإيطالي، وعلى الرغم من تفضيل برشلونة للبيع، فقد يتم إعارته مرة أخرى.
وبالنسبة لـ كيسيه، فهناك اهتمام من نادي الهلال السعودي ويوفنتوس الإيطالي، لكن تشير التقارير إلى تفضيله للبقاء في برشلونة.
وكولادو عاد لبرشلونة بعد إعارته لإلتشي وقد تمكن من تسجيل هدف وصنع 15 مباراة في الدوري الإسباني.
Foi aos trancos e barrancos que o Botafogo conseguiu uma respiro na Taça Rio. Nesta quinta-feira, o Alvinegro goleou a Portuguesa-RJ por 4 a 1, no Nilton Santos. Após a partida, o lateral-direito Marcinho alertou sobre o ritmo de jogo na primeira etapa.
– Claro (acredito em milagre). A gente tem trabalhado bastante, e se vier a classificação vai ser merecida. Tomamos um gol, não podemos dar esse mole. Mas saímos no lucro. Primeiro tempo foi muito ruim, mas colocamos a cabeça no lugar, e conseguimos fazer os gols no segundo tempo – disse ao “Premiere”.
O Alvinegro também precisa vencer o Americano no domingo, torcer para que o Flamengo perca o Fla-Flu e a Cabofriense no máximo empate com o Madureira, na última rodada da Taça Rio. Além disso, precisa tirar um saldo de quatro gols do Rubro-Negro.
