As Doncaster states that he is merely a mouthpiece for all SPFL clubs I take it he has canvassed opinion before reaching another ludicrous decision...Nah probably not
with that I agree.
Hearts intentions are not to punish United,Raith or Cove,. The simple answer would have been reconstruction to avoid any team being financially hammered.
But that aint happening so we are where we are
I believe they are served a copy of petition as a courtesy because if relegation was overturned they would be affected as there would be no place for them to be promoted too...unless there was reconstruction.
Contrary to popular belief Hearts did not serve papers on them involving them in court case,they served papers on SPFL
