:embarrass I'm blaming old age. Been convinced for years those happened in the same game.

Something has to give very soon, in terms of the hard decisions that need to be made about Homfc's future, even if that decision is about blindly staggering on through admin till Christmas then dying, and throwing the league into chaos.
I think if Hearts do that, it'll make it very difficult for them to get back into Scottish football at any level.
They should have liquidated weeks ago.
I thought last week would be fireworks, but I'm looking forward to the week ahead.
So what happens if they go kaput during the season and are unable to fulfil their fixtures. Apologies if it has been covered already.
I believe Gretna got payments to keep them going until the end of the season, but Hertz would need more and I doubt the other teams would sanction it.
Gretna had (comparatively) low costs (after sacking 22 players) and not that much of the season remained. They did not go into administration until March
Of course in those days the SPL actually had a sponsor to provide the cash so that advances could be made to Gretna's administrators to keep them going until the end of the season.
Without a sponsor at this stage, the SPFL would be well advised to take preemptive action to ensure that they do not face that situation again.
Can't have this thread dissappear off the front page.
In some ways, not having a sponsor might ease the pressure a bit.
A sponsor will pay for x number of matches a season (can't do the arithmetic on a Sunday night :greengrin). If a club goes bust half-way through a season, that number is reduced. The sponsor would then have a case for asking for some of its money back.
Chris McLaughlin from the BBC has just tweeted "wow".......wishfull thinking it could be something to do with hearts or is there a chance with the admins being called in at ubig last week it could hit the fan with them this week?
