I suspect the projections took account of season ticket sales this year (which might now not materialise) and assumed that the full programme of home games would be fulfilled. They couldn't foresee the current circumstances, so an unqualified report wasn't unreasonable.Quote:

They'll do it but it's an oxymoron if ever I've seen one, a sevconian complaining about Edjikaishun. Whatever next.Quote:

Euro Club Index predicts:

in Scotland, they pridict a 98.87% chance of Celtic winning the premiership.
Shame they dont mention relegation for Scottish premier league.Quote:
No surprise then to find the Euro Club Index predicting with 100% certainty that Jurgen Klopp's side will deliver a first title to Anfield in 30 years.
Not only that, but if their model is correct, the Reds will end the season with a record 102 points, beating the century that Manchester City racked up in 2017-18.
In truth, it is unlikely we will witness any last-gasp title drama in any of Europe's top five leagues.
Current leaders Bayern Munich have an 84.37% chance of winning the Bundesliga, Italy's top-placed side Juventus (83.98%) are almost certain to claim a ninth successive Serie A title, Paris St-Germain (99.98%) have France's Ligue 1 all but wrapped up, while Barcelona (74.22%) are firm favourites to beat Real Madrid to La Liga's crown.
In Scotland, Celtic's 13-point advantage over Rangers means they have a 98.87% chance of winning the Premiership, although the latter will cling to that 1.13% until the bitter end.

Its blatant cheating. If the likes of Hamilton or St mirren started lavishly vastly overspending outwith their means there would immediately be journalists all over it with no one sympathasing saying 'its not their fault'.
Naismith is a complete and utter moron.
Make me boak, as do the press for not calling them outQuote:

What about the other young players? I don't imagine they're not similar wages. And of course there's the back office staff, have any of them been exempt from the ultimatum? Doubt it, otherwise there wouldn't have been the bit in there about them not being reduced to lower than the living wage if a 50% cut would do that.
Unbelievable that they have a positive press story coming from this disgrace. They have friends in the media who manage to make them look good even when their actions are shameful.
Absolutely no doubt about that very clear in sportsound with Biscuits, Brian Mclauchlan, Robbo and bizarrely Tom English frequently indicating how wonderful an instruction they are with little or no fair critical comment. Time to get Michael Stewart back on.Quote:

Excellent piece. Seems that some in the media are willing to spell it out as it is. The rot had set in at Tynecastle long before this terrible virus arrived.Quote:
