I've resigned myself to the fact that these cnuts will wriggle off the hook and take up their 'rightful' place in next years SPL, whichever bunch of crooks buys them.
However, I hold on to one mere morsel of hope and that is Vladimir Romanov
You could argue that Hearts are in a position not far from Rangers but at least each push has made them pay their tax.
I am hoping that dear Vlad is keeping his powder dry, unlike Thompson & Yorkston who, though legitimately, chased small sums. Hearts on the other hand are owed £800k.
Now we all know that several of the gers players are going to earn tidy little transfers in the summer but who will replace them? I am hopeful that Vlad would put the case for a transfer embargo, as however this pans out other SPL clubs will be monetarily affected thus impingeing on their ability to sign new players and field a competitive team.
If say, they got away with 10p in the pound, Hearts would receive £80k. How could they re-invest that? Meanwhile, der kaiser's X1, get a cash injection from a new owner and merrily go on their way.
I remember Hearts having an embargo placed on them after they signed Willie Pettigrew & Derek Addison in the early 80's, so there is a precedent.
