The generic Hearts thread

Perhaps a compromise would be Dundee utd promoted with Hearts Ict Dundee and Ayr playing off in two semis and a final for promotion.
Either that or just relegate them.

The issue is no games are going to be played for the foreseeable future

More and more are doing it. It seems the lower leagues have scrubbed their seasons where there isn't millions at stake but when big money is involved it's a different story. The spl will be praying we can finish the season and if not they will face a very awkward decision to say the least.

If we could play games we wouldn’t be in this situation.

Really?

[weecounty hibby]

There can be no argument. Relegate the team who have consistently been the worst team over the last 12 months, not even just this season! It is merely a happy coincidence that it's the tarts. If it was Hamilton, Ross County or St Mirren I'm sure the decision would have been made by now. Just because it's one of the supposed, self proclaimed big clubs shouldn't stop the right decision being made. All of the stats point to the going down, history shows that the team who has spent this long at the bottom goes down usually, history shows that the team at the bottom at this time of the year usually goes down. Get the dirty cheating, poppy theiving, charity robbing *******s relegated and then we can move on and plan for the new season whenever that may be

Yup - would have been even more interesting if Celtic and the huns were 1 point apart with these games to play...

They are lucky Celtic have a lead over them to make it less awkward.

Three up, one down across all divisions

Next season Prem 14 teams play H&A split after 26 games 6/8. Reset points to Zero and play H&A. Auto relegate bottom 2 and 3rd Bottom into play off.

Championship remains 10 teams usual format. Auto relegate as per Prem

League 1 remains 10 teams usual format. Auto relegate as Pre

League 2 8 teams plus winners of Highland and Lowland
leagues. At end of season auto relegate as Prem. 3rd bottom plays off against Highland/Lowland play off winner.

Season after that (22/23) return to normal

Simples...and the Jambos still get relegated.

Yes, but doesn’t stop the Huns being pricks about it all, unfortunately.

They and their maroon cousins will never understand the simple adage: if you act like a ****, people will think you’re a **** and treat you accordingly.

Hearts and Sevco have acted like spoilt wee brats during this entire crisis - threatening legal action or issuing veiled threats. They are pathetic.

That sounds like a cunning plan. Too many times clubs have avoided relegation due to stadiums not be been big enough etc. The only way sporting integrity can be remotely upheld is if there is the best teams champions and the worst team relegated. I suspect if partick didnt have a game in hand it would have been announced already. I'm sure all clubs realise there is next to no chance of finishing the season. If there was any common sense they would discussing ending the season now so we can plan for hopefully for next season starting as close to on time as poss. That's the open golf about to be postponed and that's mid July. As for Hertz pathetic sabre rattling about sueing. It's all bluster as usual as it's very clear that if they or any club won't accept the decisions then they can leave. The courts will not get involved in a sports decision when it comes under this totally unprecedented time. A decision will have to be made soon so as to try and plan for next season. We then have to wait to see how long lockdown continues. I don't think closed door games are a solution due to insurance and legal ramifications.

[Gmack7]

Dundee United wont be happy to accept money as compensation for not coming up. they could stay in the top league for years and pocket much more. Relegation for the worst team in the league, thats the aim after all

Quel surprise. Obviously not as confident as he said he was of avoiding relegation. I wonder if that's what persuaded him to take the job. Remember he never applied for the job and hadn't heard of the famous jts before that.

The logical and fair approach is to apply average points per game, as already gained, to the remaining games to apply the apportionment of monies and awarding of silverware. This would leave the top and bottom places in the top league as is and so confirm the current top teams in the top two leagues as champions with the bottom team in the top league as relegated. The potential playoff games would not be counted as average points cant be applied to 'cup' games. So current positions would apply. The team in second bottom place of the premier have a place in that league that they could only potentially have lost and the teams in the playoff positions only have a place secured in the championship secured with a potential place in the premier that one of them could have won. Keep what you have earned - simples.

Sounds a fair approach for resolving the problem of clubs having played different numbers of games. Think this may cost us a place in the final table but I could live with that.

Why would we change the format for one season? Don’t see the logic. Keep as is. And if they were to do so, there would be no relegation & 2 up anyway.
Just finish the season. There’s only 8 games. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday x 2 weeks. Tuesday, Thursday finished. Semi Saturday/Sunday & play offs. Scottish cup & play off finals next Saturday.

It’s the contract Klaus.

An early Christmas gift for the Jambos... they may be going down but they can get rid of the drinker and maybe reappoint Robbie Neilson - the championship specialist.

This season is finished. Next season is 5/6 months away. Call this season now. Be fair to the potential promotees and Champions on current positions and relegate the basket cases.

Do what you are suggesting another window will have opened and closed, teams, like Killie will have no players under contract and you still need a 4-6 week pre-season or you land up with a lot of crocked players.

Unfinished games would have average points awarded on the basis of the results of previous games between teams. Run it to the split then apply to the split games. Relegate the two lowest teams. For example, we have 4 points versus St Jonstone from two games, an average of two points so we get two and Saints who have one point from two games get 0.5 points.

It would be the most Hearts thing ever to avoid a 100% cert relegation due to a once-in-a-century global Pandemic.

Send them DOWN.

So how can you relegate Patrick who have a game in hand. Win & they’re safe.

When it’s safe to play again. Nobody knows when this virus will be clear, but money talks, & there’s no way sponsors will allow for season to be voided. Whenever it starts, 3-4 weeks maximum finishes season. May be tiring, but the fairest way to do so.

[Hibees1973]

On JKB the general feeling is to use the Global Coronavirus Pandemic as a means to binning an overpaid, under-achieving squad on the cheap.

Only club I know of who, after an embarrassing administration vastly overspend then look for a killer virus to get them out of jail. Both financially and professionally.

This is probably a green-tinted version of events, but the facts are all there.
