Internet polls - there to be shot at. Yam infiltration and before you know it the evening news produce an unrepresentational? article.Quote:

Its sod all to do with the SPL, the reason they are in this mess is all down to Romanov. The rules are in place NOW, the folk in charge at the SFA have the tools to make this disappear from their main product.Quote:

And if that happens mid season we will have a league with 11 clubs in it.Can you imagine the trouble that will cause?
The league will be a bigger shambles that our media and support portray it now.
Get them tae **** now, the rules are there in black and white, its the best and right option.

"@BBCBMcLauchlin: SPL board meeting to discuss Hearts situation underway at Hampden #bbcsportscot"
As a side note the current SPL Board is made up of
Ralph Topping (SPL Chairman)
Neil Doncaster (SPL Chief Executive)
Eric Riley (Celtic FC)
Stephen Thompson (Dundee United FC)
Duncan Fraser (Aberdeen FC)
Michael Johnston (Kilmarnock FC)
How do we think each of them is going to feel about how Hearts have behaved?

IMO, there will be no decision made today on the Yams plight. All we will get is a statement from the SPL saying that no decision was made and cannot be made until they are in possession of the full facts (which might be never).
Sporting integrity was the catch phrase banded about with Oldco and is still every bit as relevant today, but doubt we will hear any mention of it.
The chairman is "one of our own" ;)Quote:

They very much see Hearts situation as the same as theirs (even if its not), and they will want a similar "lack of compassion" applied.
The SPL have got to realise that if the deductions are not applied now there is a genuine possibility that Hearts will fold mid season. Then instead of being a SFL plroblem it will remain an SPL problem.
Better the swift knife stroke now than a long and uncertain death next season.
Also if I were a Jambo I wouldn't want to get relegated the season they The The Rangers were in the same league, as it would mean two years (if they survive) in Div 1.

Can't really see how they could interpret this any other way than what it says on the tin.........Quote:

A couple of things to note with this is that it's looking likely that the SPL and SFL will have merged so the problem won't really be shifted.Quote:

That's if they get that far of course.
What about how much money has been lost by there financial doping in the last 8 years? Lost european places? Shorter cup runs? Remember, most of these same chairman (Kilmarnock abstained) stood shoulder to shoulder and blocked Newco's entry into the SPL despite all the talk of how much money that decision would lose.Quote:

if they stayed in the league and then went bust a week or two before the season started it would throw the game into complete disarray!
Also, how bad does it look for Scottish football when one of the top flight clubs starts the season on -15 points!! ??
One of the aspects they are required to consider according to Rule A6.12 is the continuity of the league. Hearts are more likely than not to suffer their own insolvency event before the end of next season (in fact they might not last the week) and there's a strong possibility that they would not be able to fulfil their fixtures - they declared themselves at risk of that early in the season that's just ended. It would be irresponsible of the board to ignore that requirement under the current circumstances.Quote:

Have a look on Kickback at the thread "A Bit Of Dignity". Some of the quotes are superb. According to some, the yams have done nothing wrong. It's was ok to piss money against a wall until its dry then it's someone's fault. What that mob fail to see or admit is, Hearts agreed to the new SPL rules and how if a parent company goes bust the club should then be deducted points. There's even some roaster who keeps saying "nothing will happen" followed by that smug face smiley. How funny is it going to be if they drop down. In fact I'll be posting that same smug face on here everyday in tribute to that fud. :D

A simple "UBIG is seperate enough from Hearts that no action is needed and that's our decision" would have been sufficient.
The fact the SPL ARE looking into this and took the weekend to make a decision (possibly longer) is a good thing. The SPL can get hammered by Hearts if they get this decision wrong but nobody can do anything if they had just fobbed us all off.
