I think I would actually die laughing.
It depends what you mean by bottom, Mrs Budge sees that as technically incorrect, how can you be bottom when you've spent so much money?Quote:

So, conceding there that the efforts being made are to save Hearts from relegation, not for any higher purpose.Quote:

Confirms she is probably in the wrong in that case. Certainly can't see her doing a Henry Fonda in 12 Angry Men. If anything she's probably turned more against her than for her, with some of her comments.Quote:

She'll then be scuppered when she has to convince the Premiership teams and Sky.

Take the expulsion.
Empty the dross form the squad - article 12 'em if need be.
Win the lawsuit for £4M damages.
Wait to be invited back into the top tier when half a dozen clubs go tits up with loadsa cash to rebuild our squad.

Relegation is too good for them. If we're expelling them then we might as well put them down another couple of leagues and that way Partick and Stranraer can stay where they are. No point in 3 clubs suffering when 1 could set self-interest aside and do what's best for Scottish football. They might win some games in League 2.Quote:

Whoever was the genius that came up with "sue the SPFL" doesnt really understand the finances.
Its not like they have a pot of cash there, and hence Hearts would be asking every other club (including themselves) to stump up for their imprudent financial gambling.
Well thought out strategy lads :aok:
Sure it's been raised before but there's at least a question about whether Hearts who are a member of the SPFL body corporate can actually sue themselves, mind you they thought they owed multi millions to themselves and look how that worked out.Quote:

Wow. Just had a look on kickback. Couldn't resist the urge. One of them raging because they volunteered for WW1 and now they're going to get relegated. Genuinely. Somebody posted that. Just wow.
I really doubt this will ever see the light of day. Hearts will not want their shambolic season serialised and mocked and laughed at by the whole of Scotland and if Budge is trying to look for ways of wriggling out of relegation then you can be sure she will be looking at ways of stopping this document being broadcast.Quote:

It’s really not going well for them is it?
She’s playing a dangerous game, but I’m sure the players know they have no money
If they don’t take the cut, they could go into admin, so a lot to weigh up for them too
Ann Budge has dealt with this situation impeccably. She really is a true trailblazer and visionary of the Scottish game.
😂😂😂
It is but again she’s out spouting about it and pressurising the players to do it or threatening C12 in the public domain. It’s like it’s their fault they are on inflated wages.Quote:

Do they have to notify the SFA/SPFL that they cannot meet their wages? And from that statement its pretty clear this is not a deferral, the players have lost the money. Either take what we offer or your suspended basically, at a time when no one is hiring. Whist I accept they are not alone, and God forbid we can avoid such a scenario, this is brutal. Is there no insurance for such things? You just know others will be watching closely.Quote:

...
"Having paid the players’ wages in full for March, I have written to them today to request the formal notification of their acceptance of the temporary wage cut proposed in order that we can process salaries next week.
I remain hopeful that the players will accept for the reasons outlined above, as the only viable alternative is that their contracts remain suspended under Clause 12 of the standard SPFL contract which means that they will not receive any wages during the period of suspension."
