is there no chance the administrators take into account the seasons about to start and if no acceptable bid is on the horizon do the honorable thing and cut off the life support machine?

surely the SPFL have grounds to ask questions now?

I wouldn't think BDO will care too much about the season starting soon. After all, they are making money by the day.

I'm guessing this news is what McLaughlin was referring to in his "Wow" tweet.

Maybe that was the penny dropping for a member of the media who had until now been following the idea that all is barry....

They should be right in there. First bids rejected out of hand and creditors alluding to liquidation is a RED FLAG in anyone's book, and the SPFL need to be looking after the interests of all the well run clubs in Scotland, not the shysters. At risk of stating the bleeding obvious, the press should be asking the SPFL what Plan B is if Hearts fail to agree a deal and get liquidated.

[bathhibby]

If the Yams start the season how many games will the SPFL give them before they pull the plug ? if only 2 or 3 games Morton could make that up and all the other Teams that shuffle up = the longer they leave it the harder it will be to catch up.

I hope all the fandango-ing about is taken into consideration when new licences are applied for.

Just remembered the disciplinary meeting with the SFA is now this Thursday, should be an interesting meeting.

I'm not sure what people actually expect the SPFL to do? They can't do anything as nothing has happened yet. Hearts have unfortunately not done anything that the SPFL hasn't already acted on. As I said earlier. It doesn't matter what happens now as the leagues are going to suffer some sort of problem.

But maybe Hearts get sold an make the start of the season? They play horridly bad but they are still there. It's not very fair that they were kicked out because they "might" get liquidated

Why are people still saying they'll keep stumbling along with help from the authorities?

When Plan Liquidate is put into action there will be no Hearts.

Why are the authorities happily "lalalalalala-ing" whilst the season is about to start, one of their member clubs is on its knees (for the chop this time, not that other on yer knees stuff), and don't seem to have a care in the world about the problems a non-existent homfc would pose?

Wouldn't be so sure. Without Tynecastle it would take a £20m investment to get them a new stadium in Edinburgh. Who has that kind of cash?

The council. It doesn't, but it would juggle things around. Sell a few school playing fields etc.

Liquidation won't happen because the SPFL etc wouldn't allow it! Hearts - by hook or by crook will be fulfilling their fixtures I've no doubt about that.
The preparations for the season would be in tatters - TV companies banging down the door again. Sky etc would think it was a piss-take that 2 of the 3 biggest components of the 'product' they had paid for had been ripped away.

All right. Anyone going to own up to this one.

Wonderful scenes here.

[Bostonhibby]

The Wow would probably be that they are so used to seeing the Yam do what the **** they like that they expected the Liths to doff their caps and accept the offer from Save Hearts In Trouble and maybe erect a memorial of two as a sign of their. Gratitude.

Yeah but with no relegation - that's nonsense

[PatHead]

Hearts are a big club, won 2 world wars singlehandedly, play in a capital city, untouchable, its their own debt, they won the cup and killed Hibs, have a fan base of 400k, have Ronnie Corbett as a supporter, 5-1, 1902. Rudy Skatchell, Hibs have millions of debt. Can we not see the bigger picture?

Do the playoffs start next year or is it the season after? If they do 11th would play off.

I think with the facts in front of them from BDO anyone would say there is more than a 50% probability of Hearts not being able to complete their fixtures whatever the outcome. Of course the SPL ignored a company declaring itself insolvent as not sufficient proof of an insolvency event! But they must act now to boot them out or face horrendous complications if they let paly a few games before HMFC are wound up.

They can't act on a 50% probability, thats ludicrous. There's a 50% probability that Celtic will win the league this season, should they just give them the trophy now?

They didn't "ignore" UBIG declaring themselves insolvent either, they weren't legally covered so they didn't do anything.

If the SPFL act now, what happens? Is 6 days enough time for Morton to prepare for a completely different league? Is it buggery. Everyone is going to have to accept that even if the SPFL wanted to shaft Hearts in the hardest way possible they can't.

And for the record, there wouldn't be "horrendous complications", any fixtures Hearts did complete would be void and the league would continue with 11 teams. Either way, Hearts or no Hearts, the coming season is going to have some degree of upheaval and the SPFL can't do anything about it because they aren't legally able to act on ifs, ands, buts or maybes.

They do have to ensure that all their clubs are able to fulfil their league commitments at the start of the season.

The fact that this may not be the case is proof enough.

Gretna stumbled on as it was near the end of the season. Hearts should be put out their misery, as there is no way that they will be around come mid May next year.

Bake sales, face painting and charging each other a fiver to congregate in each others' houses.

The SPFL should be meeting with BDO and ask for a guarantee that they can fulfill the fixtures for the season. Everybody and his dog can now see that would be impossible to give so 'Plan Morton' HAS to be put in place.

The alternative is that Hearts are allowed to start the season, are dead before August is out and the rest of the league season is played between 11 clubs. That would damage every other club financially because of missing games.

Get them out now!
