    Surely Budge will once again go down the saving Scottish football path, demand no promotion at all then also force her way to the head of a task force to deliver an alternative a few years down the line with nothing substantive at all required in the short term.

    I’d certainly like to think so mate, they are of course the bastions of fair play, no club should be punished due to the pandemic.

    United we stand here....

    Of course all clubs serve themselves and that’s exactly what hearts did. They did however spin it as a gallant fight to do what was right for Scottish football. They are most likely to be the team in the position that Dundee Utd were in last season and we all know how far they went “for the good of the game” taking the opposing stance this time will show them up for the hypocrites they are.

    You're right that it would show them up but no one would really be surprised. They have zero shame

    The only fair thing would be no promotions or relegations...

    My OP was intended just for the Premiership with my green specs on. I don't give a monkey's what they do with all the lower level clubs in the lower leagues.

    Let's look at what serves the interests of each club.

    Obviously it's in the interests of Hearts to get promoted.

    But it is in the interests of the other nine clubs in that particular lower league to vote to keep Hearts down as it means they'll get a proper season of the maroon pound, assuming crowds are allowed for 21/22.


    Similarly it is in the interests of the clubs in the bottom two divisions to keep Hearts eligible for the Challenge Cup so they'll have a chance of drawing the maroon pound.


    It is also in the interests of the bottom eight in the Premiership to vote to keep Hearts down, as the lack of the maroon pound means it's a level playing field in the race for a top six finish.


    That leaves us, Aberdeen and the Ugly Sisters who wouldn't be affected but it's in the interests of those four clubs to support the other clubs in Scottish football.


    Sad, isn't it?

    Hearts need to go down another division to give the people what they want - the M8 derby.

    C'Mon the members, a simple majority will do

    Obviously due attention will be paid to the Hearts/Inverness brotherhood, Patrick's director and Stranraer.

    Democracy must prevail.
