Lex Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I’d absolutely love to see Hearts and whoever else piss money up the wall on lawyers fees to challenge this decision.They have absolutely no chance of winning any legal battle and it would put them in an even worse financial position. Also the court room drama would make for some epic viewing.Geez it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one game against 'Well (1 win in last 10 games) and two against Aberdeen remaining. Thought we were in with a good chance of taking a spot. Livi have been really good this season.Cant say anymore than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hearts go down but spfl board member and robust lobbyist Kenneth Fergusons team avoid any chance of relegation. Reeks worse than Magees auld Ys.... -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 So, on top of the tons of cash spunked on shite players who couldn't save them, and the supposed £3 million in losses they'll see from relegation (which I am 99.9% will still happen regardless of what action Hearts takes), Budge is looking for a long and expensive court case? Sounds like a great idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, let's make it less personal. Do you believe that the St Mirren board would just have sat quietly and accepted relegation if the coronavirus pandemic had happened in early 2019 instead of early 2020? As a fan, how would you have felt about that? Keep in mind that St Mirren, bottom of the league after 30 games in 2019, were not relegated. And why would they be since the league was not finished. This current league IS finished; for fairly obvious reasons and irrespective of whether or not footy kicks off again in Engerlund in the next few weeks; it is FOR CERTAIN that it will not be kicking off here in Scotland and so other than the total nonsense of continuing this current league campaign instead of beginning a new one when eventually that becomes possible, it is done. And so we then come to the choices of voiding the best part of a season and the consequential financial shitstorm that would cause, or other options??? We have been there done that and decided .................. To me personally the choice of promoting those in the lead; makes sense and relegating those who are bottom ditto, only Partick in my estimation have the right to feel aggrieved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 If you want to deny Hearts a click, here's the statement in full: Following today’s decision to end the 2019/20 Premiership season and expel Heart of Midlothian Football Club from the top flight, the club would like to provide a brief update to both its fans and the wider Scottish football audience. We have stated from the outset that we don’t believe it is right that any club should be unfairly penalised because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was previously indicated that league reconstruction would not generate enough support to pass a vote between member clubs. In recent days a number of positive talks have been held with both the SPFL and member clubs and this topic is currently being revisited. Hearts will shortly submit a member’s resolution that we believe is a pragmatic solution to the issues the game currently faces and a way forward that the clubs can unite behind. It is our belief that this resolution, if supported, will provide an opportunity to avoid disproportionately disadvantaging - financially and otherwise - any club. This is possibly the final chance for our game to stand together, protect each other and not only survive but flourish in the aftermath of this terrible pandemic. Players from across all leagues have shown a desire for reconstruction and having already received support from some clubs we are hopeful that this resolution can positively progress Scottish football. As previously intimated the club has been taking legal advice throughout this process and are continuing to do so. We hope that the resolution being prepared will avoid the need to go down this route. Legal action would be both time consuming and expensive. However the cost to the club of relegation would outweigh these considerations. To our supporters, we thank you for showing patience and continuing to back the club. We will continue to fight against what we believe is an unjust outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
