Surprised to see the Huns sticking together.

The only thing that could make this worse for Hearts is if the EPL follow suit. Aston Villa are relegated and McGinn is sold for 30/40 million and Hibs get a very large payday. Can almost taste their dispair
Errm, from the tiny, overindulged, self-important organs that they pass off to normal humans as brains?Quote:

Wonder about Hibs. Will we be placed 6th or 7th??? St Johnstone 1 point behind and points average 1.24. Not sure of any historic examples but could they finish the season on something .24 points? Not sure how significant the financial hit is between finishing 6th or 7th?Quote:

Hearts and Rangers are 2 cheeks of the same arse both on and off the park. They both know they are fighting a losing battle.

"If the resolution is passed and the Championship, League 1 and League 2 are terminated then it sets a precedent Hearts won’t like. If the SPFL determine that the top-flight is not going to be finished then Hearts could be relegated. At which point legal advice would likely be sought, lawyers involved and more complexity.
That being said, the statement also mentioned that league reconstruction could be discussed ahead of next season which is an avenue in which the club could remain in the top flight.
In short, Hearts are not relegated but a step towards that prospect has been taken by the SPFL."
:thumbsup:
Rangers with a predictable statement.Quote:

The league will eventually get called. The lockdown could be another 5/6 weeks if we’re lucky. Players will have to have another pre season and there’s also the difficult obstacle of players contracts running out on 1st June
That was last season.This season will be different and dependent on the deal the league strikes with broadcasters for the unfinished season.Quote:

From the Guardian. Lovely stuff;
"The Scottish Professional Football League aims to crown Celtic as champions and relegate Heart of Midlothian after 23 April, the earliest date Uefa is willing to accept for the abandonment of top divisions.A meeting between the league’s board and clubs on Wednesday resulted in the recommendation of a resolution for a vote in each of the four divisions on whether to end their season as it stands, with places allocated on an average points-per-game basis.
Nine of the 12 Premiership clubs would need to vote in favour, and the SPFL, having canvassed opinion, is understood to be fully confident of it passing. Votes will be collated before the start of next week.
A subsequent delay in abandoning the top-flight campaign would then be expected in order to follow Uefa guidance. The European game’s governing body has warned of possible restrictions to Champions League and Europa League entry if member associations abandon seasons prematurely. The SPFL does not regard that as a serious risk but is anxious not to antagonise Uefa.
The Hearts owner, Ann Budge, has spoken of legal action should the league demote her club, who are four points adrift with eight games to play. Rangers have publicly spoken out against any early finish to the campaign and did so again on Wednesday afternoon.
“It is abhorrent that certain clubs could be unfairly relegated if the current SPFL proposals were implemented,” read an Ibrox statement, which added: “The consequences of forcing through change without due care and attention will have severe consequences for the Scottish game.”
Rangers insist “the 2019-20 season is only complete when all 38 games have been played to a finish”.
Under the average-points plan, only Hibernian and St Johnstone – currently sixth and seventh respectively – would change places.
Dundee United will be promoted to Scotland’s top division if Championship clubs pass their element of the resolution. That element may hold the key to the SPFL’s plans, with several clubs considering their options. It also irked Championship boards that the league issued a statement as their occasionally feisty round of talks were ongoing.
The bottom two divisions are expected to back an immediate end to their seasons, with 15 from 20 needing to agree in a combined vote. Brechin City, otherwise consigned to a play-off to save their spot in League Two, would be saved.
One glimmer of hope for Hearts - and Partick Thistle, who would be relegated from the Championship - came in an SPFL statement. “If the resolution is approved, the SPFL has also committed to consulting with clubs over the possibility of league restructuring ahead of season 2020-21,” it read. That prospect, primarily of a 14-team Premiership as mooted by Budge on Wednesday, is currently viewed by insiders as remote.
Numerous clubs across Scotland have been keen for the season to be defined so as to release prize money, issued on the basis of placings.
Neil Doncaster, the league’s chief executive, said: “We are keen to work with Uefa and remain in discussion with them over the situation in Scotland. The quicker we reach a final position the better.”
Clubs were informed of a necessity to start the 2020-21 Premiership season on the first Saturday in August, as part of Sky Sports’ new and exclusive live television deal. That campaign has therefore been granted priority, even though there is no guarantee of football in early August.
The Scottish FA hopes to complete the 2019-20 Scottish Cup, currently at the semi-final phase, possibly as the opening games of “next” season.
Aberdeen, fourth in the Premiership, would have a possible route to the Europa League only via the cup but it is understood they could instead be put forward by the Scottish FA on the basis of league position"
They really are on a different level of self over importanceQuote:

This is almost like a longer more drawn out suffering for them and it’s brilliant.
Really enjoying this end of season show, hope it has a happy ending.
Anybody ever seen this mystic Maroon Pound?

It explicitly says they cannot do anything which is deemed as providing a service to the employer. It’s directed at encouraging people to volunteer for other organisations.Quote:

If that threat didn't work with Rangers, who have a support about 5 times as big as hearts , it's certainly not going to work for wee Hearts.
This is going to very tough on Hearts and their supporters. Can genuinely see financial trouble ahead for them.
Hearts boycotting away grounds if they're ever promoted. So that'll be one man visiting instead of one man and his dog then?
They come in the biggliest notes.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3af091cc23.jpgQuote:

In all honesty, I don’t really blame them. They are the enemy and they hate us. I hold a LOT more disdain for Hearts supporters who think we should take a shafting. I also think more Bearts supporters need to reciprocate the hatred they feel towards us. We treat them like the wee friendly enemy down the road, whilst they have actively tried to kill our club."
WE actively tried to kill THEM!:confused:

When have they ever been other than for themselves?
After the vote to end the leagues, if they then have a vote on reconstruction which division do Hearts vote in?

Anybody deluding themselves that Hearts will be in a lower league next season clearly have been walking around with their eyes shut missing how dithering ,incompetent, indecisive and downright morally bankrupt our authorities are.
The tiresome posturing by Hearts about mythical court cases is them trying to play the only shabby hand they have left. The famous galvanize the supporters by playing the victim strategy. This is what all this is about.
Unfortunately they've probably played it once too many times for all but the dimmest Jambo to fall for it. In this environment, their fans cannot afford to go on financing their folly (costly blunders include the terrible stand and the inflated by numbers and salary but deflated by ability squad) even if they were stupid enough to want to do so.
The FOH money will slow to a trickle and the ST purchases might be devoid of the 'reboot bounce' both they and ourselves have enjoyed, as relegation and financial chaos is now becoming a habit for them.
This will put pressure on Budge and she won't finance anything.
The future is very uncertain for Scottish football, but however you cut it, it's more absolutely certain for Hearts than anyone, and its not a rosy one.
We've got Jack Ross and they ain't got Jack ****.
LoL your enjoying this...I think the talk of leagues reconstruction is a red herring won't happen

Typical sevco. Want everything both ways. Along with Hertz they are the most,amateurish,blinkered and embarrassing club in Scotland with statements like those of a child who can't get their own way. Do glad we show a bit of class and decency it our utterances. I cringe how embarrassing these two clubs statement are. That is how they behave all the time which doesn't show Scottish football in a good light.Quote:

On Thurs morning, the SPFL/SFA decide to end the season prematurely due to COVID-19. To ensure that Dundee Utd don’t hit the wall, the decision is taken to cancel the play offs, but relegate one and promote one. As a result, St Mirren are relegated on goal difference on technically the last day of the season. They then spend the rest of their eternity thinking about how this could have been avoided if they hadn’t let Celtic pump them last weekend.

This may surprise a few folk of here but I think Hibs will not approve a vote that would get Hearts relegated in the current circumstances. I would laugh out loud if they were sent down, but would have the feeling that it was not right.
To finish the season on current league positions may be the best option, out of all the options available. However ,there must be another, fairer alternative.

It's not just a rediculously bad team. The whole club is shockingly pish.

Just relegate St Mirren then. They’re just a pishy wee team that lay down to Celtic in 1986, you can’t relegate ‘the famous’, ‘the big team’, ‘the natural order’, ‘the biggest glass curtain’ or “a manager who fished above Jack Ross’s Sunderland”. You have to change everything in Scottish football to save Hearts even though they were creaming themselves imagining scenarios that Covid19 would relegate St Mirren, it’s ******* karma is it not! 💪🏿😂Quote:
