Just as well the SPFL took on board the clusterfuck of the last few months and put in place a plan before the new season started that laid out what would happen if the league was stopped again.

Oh, they didn't... so competent. So wonderfully run.

I heard that if the leagues stopped they were going to expel Hearts to League 1. Last in, first out.

Wouldn't be surprised at all. We were after all punished for Aberdeen and Celtic players breaking the rules.

Take care. Maybe Hearts will make it back to the Premiership one day.

We generally do it very quickly. How long did it take D Utd and how much debt did it take again?

I'm sure the 5m for Shankland will see you right though.

Not sure why a Hearts fan is giving it the big licks given that any serious disruption to the season would *checks notes* keep Hearts in the second tier indefinitely and completely ruin them financially. Even an extension of the JRS would be a drop in the ocean compared to the foolish contracts they've handed out.

Zero. Zero times. Happy to clear that up.
 

 

 

Well that's not true is it, unless you're suggesting a play-off spot is not a relegation spot, given you can get relegated by finishing in it.

Well, a play-off spot certainly wasn't a relegation spot for Hamilton Academical, Queen of the South, Forfar Athletic or Brechin City last season.

Well given football fans moan about refereeing decisions years ago, don't you think it's natural Hearts fans will be moaning about a totally unfair and uneccessary demotion during an economic crisis and wanting some payback? 

And no, Hearts will not be in financial trouble but if we are it will be because we were demoted into a league not even playing. Solid grounds for another compensation claim.

In any case,11.5k Sts sold, 150k a month from FoH, confirmed benefactor funding for 5 years - think we'll be OK. And we haven't been handing out foolish contracts. We've cut back the squad drastically and are poised to take in 1.5m or so in transfer fee for Hickey (on top of fees for Washington, Clare and Uche).

Indeed, they voted for it not to be as I remember. Totally fair though apparently if it gets D Utd and Raith promoted. The new way of things I suppose. Sporting integrity my arse. Looking forward to the whole "Dundee United City Football Club" rearing its head again are you? You know it's on the cards....

Says a Celtic fan. The club with fans who go ape shit for weeks if a ref wrongly gives a throw in against them. Irony.

I am suggesting a playoff spot isn't a relegation spot, yes.

It is a relegation spot as it can lead to relegation. Unless you're Aberdeen of course, as you didn't have to play the play-off.

By the way was it 5, 6 or 7 season you finished between about 8th and 11th?

Come on now. If a club finishes 4th in the Championship do you say they are in a "promotion spot"?

By your logic Hearts were not in a relegation spot as you're only in danger of actual relegation when the season is finished, which it wasn't no matter how many times people decide to make out a 30-game season is perfectly normal and there is no way teams can make up 4 points with 8 games left.

Of course, yes. They have a chance of promotion.

Anyhow that's a question fo D Utd, Hibs and Rangers fans as when we were in the Championship we made sure we won it. Hearts fans have never been in either a promotion or relegation playoff unlike those clubs.

You lost? You realise this is the premiership forum, yeah?

Yes but how do you respond to the accusation that all Hearts fans wear cardigans and drive Rovers?
