:greengrin Yes, and if they DO get the points docked this season they may be relegated by ONLY ONE POINT, which would be even more hilarious.

Just as well we let Dundee beat us :greengrin
Horrible tho it is I remember the last time one of the edinburgh clubs got relegated, the other side won a cup. Hope that's a good omen? would make it all the sweeter!
Can I put the champagne on ice yet?
Would it not be better for them to
- remain in the league for next season
- go into administration in the summer
- lose 17 points
- lost all their players of any worth
- get relegated
- enter into SFL1 with Rangers for 2014/15 season
- see the two of them fight out a promotion battle (how the mighty have fallen)
I also worry that relegation at this stage would see the old "dead cat bounce" down Tynecastle with thousands of lunatics queuing up to buy season tickets.
Give them a season of hell in the SPL cut adrift from second bottom would break them before they enter the lower leagues.
The Dundee Courier take on the latest events ---------- which is surprisingly low key imo.

There is a lot to be said for that.
They had an easy ride this year with a Dundee team who had next to no time to prepare or strengthen for this SPL after the meltdown of Rangers. This year there will be a strong looking Partick Thistle side promoted. Hearts playing with a glorified youth team could struggle to stay up even without a 14 point penalty.
They could easily be without a ground next season and might find it easier to rebuild in the SFL1.
Keep them up, I say, for one last season!
Has it been revealed yet
Neil Lennon annoying just about everyone........
“@gordonchree: Neil Lennon on Hearts: SPL has already lost 2nd biggest team, don't want to lose 3rd biggest #hearts”
They didn't get paid yesterday did they?
They are paying 4% on the £25m and have an agreement(allegedly) to do this for the next two seasons.along with the £500,000 each year owed to hmrc under another agreement that means they have to find £1.5m a year for that before anything else.With no europe and a probable points deduction the spl will surely realise they are not self sufficient and will not be able to pay all their bills in the next two seasons.I hope they arent relegated this season as we would lose around another £300,000 from our budget.Much better they get a 15 point deduction for next season which would probably mean them being relegated next season and having to compete with sevco to get out of div 1Still there will be playoffs for them by then. No wonder david southern was so keen on the 8,8,8 split for next season as they would have got rid of the 15point deduction after 22 games next season and would have 14 games to escape relegation.
Most jambos now know the day of reckoning is coming and the sooner the better so we can get on with our business for next season.
wonder if over on sickback you'll have a thread "well said Neil Lennon!"
Had a look at that - clicked on the section for their 'Football Legion'(?)
Football academy for children and youth
Developing its activity in the domain of sports, in July 2007, the UBIG established the football academy for children and youth called “Football Legion”.
For a 'Legion' that's been on the go since 2007, there doesn't seem much activity on their website - almost as if it's fictional ................
I've been watching 3 parody accounts on Twitter arguing all day. It's hilarious. Only on Twitter can you get Rod Petrie arguing with Romanov and Barry Anderson.

Ooohhh. Just had a text from someone who would definitely know. Say's
"The ambiguity isn't whether UBIG owns Hearts, SPL and Hearts are clear on that, the ongoing discussions are about whether UBIG is insolvent and if so, do Hearts deserve punishment. Hearts are making noise about how they are on their own now, SPL isn't buying into it without evidence"
Pressed him further and he reckons that's why Hearts have been banging on about it every chance they get for the last few months cos they knew this day would come and the longer they set expectations the better.
Take that for what it's worth. Nothing knew but still good to know.
Pulling this from a Hibs group on Facebook:
"Is it true that if hearts don't pay 9 million in 40 hours they go into administration?"
Sounds ridiculous to me but people are saying (with hopeful thinking..) that it's true ?!
