The generic Hearts thread

[Tom Hart RIP]

If every club received the money put aside for the bottom team then that would help everyone. The remaining money could be paid when final positions are decided.

Probably not what you were meaning but the Highland league have just finished their season.

Brora Rangers got awarded the title. Not sure how many points clear they were or how many games were left.

They were 13 points clear with six games to go. Not vastly different to the situation in our top flight.

No other issues to resolve though. So quite a bit different.

If Hearts would just do the right thing it would make life easier.

Is all the money available to distribute yet? I would have thought the sponsors/TV companies would be paying in increments over the season and since the season is suspended the payments would be too.

Maybe that's why the SFA are reluctant to make a decision.

As much as I dislike them, and think they deserve to go down, there is no team who would accept relegation when the season hasn’t been completed.

If the league say the season is finished, it's finished.

It's the rules every member team signed up to and have to abide by.

I agree with your statement but if the ruling body make the decision there would be no legal appeal as the rules (that all of the SPL clubs signed up to) state that their decision is final. I would hate for Hibs to be in this predicament but as it's THEM I don't give a toss.

I suspect things may come to a head with a few clubs in the next week or so when the monthly salaries will be due to get paid.

I'm quite sure that this is the problem.Neither the SFA or the SPFL will have received what a completed season would bring in.By the decision of the clubs the SPFL hold no cash reserves.

If Hearts don't like it they're free to leave and join the Junior ranks

That's the way I read it too. Unfortunate for Hertz but life's a bitch sometimes. Did any of their fans really think they would stay up after the defeat to st mirren. Most had accepted their fate and the virus has given them the chance to be victims. They are bottom after 30 games and had only won four games all season. Not very likely they would have escaped relegation and with the turmoil in the club even less likelihood if the season resumes. I hope somehow it does resume and they get relegated. No doubt they would blame the virus for being relegated. These are extraordinary times and there will have to be extraordinary choices made. If they reconstruct we will have to accept it. If it is as is we have to accept it. The death rate is so much more important than whether they are relegated or not. They would most probably been relegated so cant moan it's unfair.

I second that.

FOH pay all their available cash to Hearts and still don’t get the shares. Budge has a very sweet deal there. And still a bit building work for her family to do.

Aye, I get that. I just don’t agree with the ‘they should do the decent thing’ type statements. Nobody would and anybody in that position would be looking for some kind of loophole to avoid it.

As for them, it’s completely deserved for the way they have acted over the years.

[Col2]

Sun reporting virtually all the players declining 50% pay cut as ‘furious’ with the John Murray recruitment email debacle.

EEN reporting FOH share transfer now indefinitely postponed as ‘not the right time to celebrate’ and all funds now going directly to club to help them due to cash crisis. Budge not only stays on as expected but has 100% control. Step forward Craig Levein as next Hearts manager for Championship run 😂😂

Do the league have it? Like have they received sponsor and broadcaster payments for the whole season already? The money may not exist as yet to hand over...

Part payment made to each club.

The narrative being spun by our neighbours is that other clubs are now looking to cut wages.

However, all the reports that I have seen seem to be saying that some clubs are looking to reduce players wages, or only high earning players wages, or deferral of payments for a time.

Hearts seem to be the only club cutting non playing staff wages.

I'm not part of his cool club gang so I don't know what he is claiming, but JJ is suggesting that there are significant cuts happening at Sevco...

Sevco and Hearts are taking zero responsibility here.

‘The season must be completed.’
‘Fans must not be locked out of games.’
‘If we are relegated without another game being played we will pursue legal action.’

Ok sure, you high and mighty pricks. But what if the season can’t be completed? What then?

No one wants this situation, but the world is divided into those who are dealing with it and those who are just complaining about it.

St Mirren are offering fans free admission to two games next season if they agree not to seek a refund on this years season ticket.

They must think the seasons over.

That’s bad news.

They were knocked back for a loan? Interesting she says that is a football thing, not a Hearts thing. Any idea why Banks are wary of football clubs Anne?

[Heisenberg]

She doesn’t expect football to start until July/August. Surely that’s this season done with if that’s the case? Big sporting events have been postponed over the summer because of the virus, I don’t see Scottish football miraculously managing to get games on.

It’s either a void season or teams finish where they are now, with one up and one down. No chance reconstruction happens surely.

[Col2]

They are getting more and more like sevco.

Ranting lengthy statements that blame everyone else bar themselves and in this case Ann Budge. The usual tactic of saying “all clubs are in the same position” when they have no idea at all.

I personally find the sentence laughable about approaching the bank for funding and it being declined - this being “a football problem not a Hearts specific problem”. Eh no dear, it’s cause you went into administration in 2013-2014 and can’t get any credit.

And then the token thanks to FOH like it’s an after thoughts. These trumpets thought they were buying 75% back in January, not they have no idea when that’s I’ll be.
