That is bloody awful! That lot really need to accept their fate and just swallow it! They have gotten away with so much pish over the years that it's embarrassing. The year they relegated Dundee by not declaring admin till end of season was the most despicable football act in recent times.

That was criminal. In any other business there would have been prosecutions.

That's a shocking fact. No wonder their accounts were qualified. They were, weren't they?

It's almost as bad as the days when they were spending 106% of their income on wages.

No, the audit report wasn't qualified. The reason for that is there is a lengthy going concern note in the accounts that outlines why the directors believe the club to be a going concern and states that Bidco and Benny Factor would continue to give financial support. The auditors will have examined the cash flow projections to ensure they were achievable and the financial background of Benny and the Budge to ensure they were capable of providing the necessary support. I suspect the projections took account of season ticket sales this year (which might now not materialise) and assumed that the full programme of home games would be fulfilled. They couldn't foresee the current circumstances, so an unqualified report wasn't unreasonable.

6/8 split means less games for the 6. Changing the league set up to appease a few teams at the bottom of the league is an ill thought through plan. The teams in the lowest leagues are left with fewer games to play and make income, or a bunch of teams who are not equipped are promoted too soon.

My thinking was that the top 6 are much more likely to be involved in Europe & in latter stages of cup competitions therefore it makes sense for bottom 8 to have more league games. Im not proposing it should happen, it's just the only possible way I think reconstruction could work.

It’s still one less home game to sell for clubs. I can’t see them getting 75% of clubs to go for reconstruction at short notice like this. Too many clubs would be expected to lose out.

Good point that all the championship clubs would have budgeted on a decent supported team down there next year.

Like Hamilton?

Its not 1 less home game. Its the same for top 6 & at least 1 more for bottom 8.

Slightly off topic but most kids now will be given their exam results on yearly performance. In other words it's unlikely kids will be able to do the exams and the fairest way is on work done. Just thought Id mention it.

Sevco statement incoming... good Presbyterian children don’t do walking away from classrooms and their loyalty can never be questioned. Sevco demands the immediate reinstatement of exams no matter what.

They'll do it but it's an oxymoron if ever I've seen one, a sevconian complaining about Edjikaishun. Whatever next.

Euro Club Index predicts:
Liverpool 100% certain to win the EPL
Also predicts a record 102 points total.

in Scotland, they pridict a 98.87% chance of Celtic winning the premiership.

No surprise then to find the Euro Club Index predicting with 100% certainty that Jurgen Klopp's side will deliver a first title to Anfield in 30 years.

Not only that, but if their model is correct, the Reds will end the season with a record 102 points, beating the century that Manchester City racked up in 2017-18.

In truth, it is unlikely we will witness any last-gasp title drama in any of Europe's top five leagues.

Current leaders Bayern Munich have an 84.37% chance of winning the Bundesliga, Italy's top-placed side Juventus (83.98%) are almost certain to claim a ninth successive Serie A title, Paris St-Germain (99.98%) have France's Ligue 1 all but wrapped up, while Barcelona (74.22%) are firm favourites to beat Real Madrid to La Liga's crown.

In Scotland, Celtic's 13-point advantage over Rangers means they have a 98.87% chance of winning the Premiership, although the latter will cling to that 1.13% until the bitter end.

Shame they dont mention relegation for Scottish premier league.

Well they also like to bang on about concepts like integrity, justice and respect - they are used to demanding from others what they will not do themselves.

Total donkey.

They're recidivist overspenders expecting to be repeatedly bailed out.

Its blatant cheating. If the likes of Hamilton or St mirren started lavishly vastly overspending outwith their means there would immediately be journalists all over it with no one sympathasing saying 'its not their fault'.

Naismith is a complete and utter moron.

Make me boak, as do the press for not calling them out

[007]

Like how they claim the reason Hickey hasn't been asked to take a 50% wage cut is because he's already on a low wage. They should be honest about it and admit it is because he's their only sellable asset and they know if he was given the same ultimatum as everyone else, he'd happily taken the option to leave for nowt and find himself another club whilst getting a nice lump sum for a signing fee.

What about the other young players? I don't imagine they're not similar wages. And of course there's the back office staff, have any of them been exempt from the ultimatum? Doubt it, otherwise there wouldn't have been the bit in there about them not being reduced to lower than the living wage if a 50% cut would do that.

Unbelievable that they have a positive press story coming from this disgrace. They have friends in the media who manage to make them look good even when their actions are shameful.

Absolutely no doubt about that very clear in sportsound with Biscuits, Brian Mclauchlan, Robbo and bizarrely Tom English frequently indicating how wonderful an instruction they are with little or no fair critical comment. Time to get Michael Stewart back on.

Excellent piece. Seems that some in the media are willing to spell it out as it is. The rot had set in at Tynecastle long before this terrible virus arrived.

Cracking article of course being a St Mirren fan he will have been on the wrong end of Hearts financial mismanagement in the past. Agree with every word.
