The generic Hearts thread

[007 Mickey Weir]

I think the associations will ask the govt to cancel the season so as to avoid legal action I think

[O'Rourke3]

These days every body considers taking kegal action. The SFPL is made up of members who will get to vote. Rangers, Hearts, Dundee, Brechin City and anyone else who is unhappy will have had opportunities to have alternative solutions floated. The association rules probably prevent taking legal action on votes so long as there was a competent majority.

There is no chance of it succeeding. The rules state it is up to the spfl board to decide when the season is complete.

Probably been mentioned already but...


Banderson saying Hearts will take legal action if the season is finished early and Hearts are relegated.


Curiously enough, there's no quotes from anybody at Hearts.

What’s the argument?

“But but but...eh...we beat Hibs the other day?”

I think this will happen in the end. A few clubs will be unhappy but possibly only Dundee United will be apoplectic. Given the extreme circumstances, to make amends, the new season could start with teams who lost out, getting bonus points and teams who were lucky to escape relegation, getting minus points. A bit daft but then the situation we are in is crazy and unprecedented.

They don’t need to, rules state that the board can decide on the end of the season. Whether they do or not is another thing

Not going to happen the restructure argument has been raised virtually every year since Premiership was established, it has been shot down every time.

Additionally, clubs have next seasons ST ready for sale based on 12 team leagues.

Of course, Hertz and teams in similar positions all over the world, will hope & pray for a null & void season or restructure of leagues etc however, the only fair way (to the majority) is bring the season to an end NOW and current league positions apply. Cups - well the respective organisations will come up with a means of completing these competitions ONCE it is clear that football can restart (July/August hopefully but could be later).

There’s no way Hearts would object to league platings being final if they were 2nd bottom. They had the chance to leapfrog St. Mirren, & weren’t good enough. What’s their argument? We will win 4/5 of our last 8 games? Even though they have only won 4/30 and are 4 points adrift. Even then it may not be enough.
The only possible alteration around the country, is Aston Villa, who currently sit 3rd bottom in a relegation spot, may possibly be allowed to play their outstanding game in hand behind closed doors tp make themselves safe. If your in a relegation spot, it’s because you’ve not been good enough over 30 odd games. End of.

Given who's involved - relegate now!

If this was England and totally unconnected to my and my teams interests, I'd say, 24 points is a lot of points up for grabs, it's nearly 1/4 of a season.

- Cancel the next winter break.
- Make all contracts have to extend to the end of the current playing season.
- Play full cards on Saturday/Wednesday's and **** the European rule of not playing games on Euro nights.
- Start next season late and play
- Show as many games as possible on TV and offer advertising through the roof

At the end of this the UK will be choking for sport.

The teams being relegated in the EPL will be highly compensated without a doubt which a couple will see a bonus considering they look doomed already. Same with teams like Barnsley the league below.

Anyone got a pic? I think this is absolutely hilarious

Barry Anderson has about as much grasp of the legal situation as a chimp does when faced with a rubix cube. Getting some delicious bites from jambo acquaintances already. Hope they confirm it soon so we can pass these dark hibsless days by goading the cardigan enthusiasts.

I dont think the govt has the right to "cancel the season" and I also think they will have many more pressing and important issues than settling arguments in football.

Interesting, so relegations and promotions apply?

Really?

Has anyone considered the reputation cost to any club bringing legal action against a decision made for the good of the sport and for the good of the general population at a time like this?

If the decision is to finalise the league now due to a health emergency, any club taking legal action purely in their own self interest would be pilloried by society for doing so and make themselves pariahs.

Not so easy to bring litigation at times like these as perhaps people think.

The SPFL is a private company is it not? The government can intervene when it comes to crowd control, etc. but not on results or league standings.

Reasonable source too.

The same guy is now saying Hearts won’t be relegated as they will base SFA sing on last season. I don’t understand.

He seems to have gone from passing on information to sharing his opinion.

That’s his “personal view” and it includes his team killie qualifying for Europe which seems like wishful thinking to say the least

Why would the league be making a decision at this stage when they don't need to? Surely they wait and see how the position is in a months time or so,

It would be the righl outcome.

Allows Scottish football five months off to prepare for next season and more importantly in which time very hopefully we're over the worst of covid 19 crisis and back to relative normality.
