TIME TO GET LAWYERED UP, LADS

Not especially pulling you up for this, but why do so many folk think this is some kind of gasp inducing "gotcha"? "Yous are only saying all this because you don't want to play in the Championship!" Erm, yes?

Fair play to the sticky buns, they've got these ****s on toast.

Don't nit pick when I'm being sanctimonious pls

Folk are utterly desperate for Hearts to go down and that's fine - it'd be hilarious. All Hearts fans are saying is we're more than capable of doing it ourselves by playing the final 8 games, rather than literally expelling us from the league because Celtic need to continue their pathetic pissing contest with Rangers. Play those games, everyone would still get to laugh at us, Celtic would still get to hold open top bus parades and wave flags because they've nutmegged a disabled kid 9 times.

They are.doing this to help everyone else mate, can't you see that...? We're doing it to see other clubs go to the wall tbh

It's pennies for the teams at the bottom of their leagues, but a lot more for those nearer the top. We're going round in circles here lads. Luckily one of the league sponsors has confirmed it's all about the cash (that teams already have) and that whistleblowers are pondscum. At least everyone's keeping the heid.

If it's just pennies, then why all the absolute tear stained bollocks about existence threatened clubs now? Either way this is cut, there was no justification for adding the final payments into the vote.

They could - right now - give all the cash strapped clubs of Scotland's lower leagues lying destitute in the gutter the prize money for finishing 12th in their respective division. Then when the season gets finished or called in the future, pay up the remainders. I mean I'm no Mensa member of the month winner, but I came up with that in about 3 seconds.

Should have made the poll public so everyone can see who your big team is. I voted option 4.

Well aye, I know that. But they've said they can't pay ANYTHING except position as of right now cash - i.e. Celtic HAVE to be paid first place cash. Rangers HAVE to be paid second place cash etc. That is - clearly and objectively - absolute dugshite.

It was definitely a board decision. Presumably the same when they gave cash early to Livingston and Dunfermline. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/469382/SPFL-to-offer-crisis-hit-Hearts-early-prize-money-pay-out Boy, this "prize money can't be released early under any circumstances" stance sure has been shown to be quite the bollocks a fair few times.

Did the articles change, because they had no problem punting us prize money early in 2013-14.

What if this is Rangers' redemption arc?

Pretty sure that - factually - we're still in the league m8

That us still in the league then?

Looks like the 5pm deadline isn't enforceable, and clubs still have 28 days to vote. You have to hand it to Scottish football and it's ongoing commitment to the farce.

Literally every single team's vote is for their own selfish reasons though. I'm baffled why it wouldn't be tbh.

No skin off my nose if other teams vote to expel Hearts from the league, I'll just no watch a solitary second of Scottish football ever again. Who's laughing now?

oh no

I've not read the statement but as it's already bammed up 25% of the league, it must be good Edit: Read it. What the f**k is remotely controversial about it? Some of you lads are absolute oddballs.

Aye, but it winds up dafties
