    There’s no journalism here, just propaganda.
    Shambles of an article. Can practically hear Budge saying the words as Barry types them

    They’ve actually had to hold players to ransom. Most of the players would’ve had no choice, as the alternative was ending contract, & nobody will sign them until football restarts. All self inflicted by Budge, as they deliberately offered large basic wages to attract better players, knowing they were unsustainable if they were unsuccessful. A gamble that backfired, but not the players fault, irrespective of how they performed.

    Getting these players off the wage bill might prove a problem.

    Lots of them will do a Malaury Martin and see out their contract.

    Leaves little room for them to rebuild. Although I have a feeling that the mystery benefactors will reappear with money for new signings once football restarts.

    Exactly this.

    When the proverbial hit the fan, Budge shat it, instantly realising their cheating ways were coming to roost and immediately set about shafting the players rather than honour good faith contracts.

    A despicable shambles of a club.

    And they’re quite entitled to see out their contracts. Signed in good faith by both parties. Could easily have put clauses in to protect themselves, but being their usual smug self, thought they were being a step ahead of everyone else. Only fair they get their just rewards. Down you go. Enjoy the chaos, we will.

    They would have been down by now anyway. Theyve been rotten.
    Beat by St Mirren, couldnt get up for thier biggest game in years.
    Should have been hammered by Hamilton at home but for the ref.
    They’re doon and in major denial.

    I’m sure it was, and fat sally let his team mate (Colin West, I think) take the blame!

    They’re in denial. The clubs already voted to end the league with current positions final with promotion and relegation.
    They’re down.

    I’m getting hopeful that Stendel is staying. CV-19 has maybe made him realise that he won’t get a gig anywhere else.

    He's got good relegation credentials and it's only fair he gets a proper crack at improving that abysmal wins to games record and he's surely looking forward to the maroon derby against Arbroath.

    Banderson has written an unbelievable article praising Budge as some kind of visionary for getting the players to (finally) take a wage cut.

    They have a ridiculously large wage bill, built up under Budge's watch, but managing to temporarily reduce it slightly somehow makes her the saviour.
    Pandering to the Hearts support and and Crawling up Budge s arse. He is irrelevant as so biased Wouldn’t even read an article by him

    Is that goalpost in the picture all that's keeping him upright?

    Interesting to see Queen Bees fawning sychophant English change tack a little in his peice on today's SPFL discussions on the BBC propaganda site.

    We are no longer looking at "Reconstruction" apparently but at "recalibrating the season to avoid teams being relegated".

    Seems Reconstruction is now dirty word...

    I will also be delighted if he stays. Yet another guy strolls into our league not having clue to the standard.
    He would be even worse in the championship sorry i mean better please let him stay.
    The muppets on kickback think he is wonderful im baffled why

    Recalibrations
    Means celebrations
    And stop the Hearts from going down with me
    Recalibrations
    Not panic stations
    I want the world to know how happy I will be


    Sorry, bored.

    Nah, they're going to award 5 points per statement. Sevco are now top of the league with Hearts 2nd.

  27. #9566
    Recalibrating the season by awarding points for goals conceded and games lost, perhaps???

    Sounds like a Cathro-ism to me.

    Does anyone else worry that they will actually wriggle out of getting relegated (which is what they deserve)?

    No matter how odiously they have co ducted their business I worry that a scenario that sees them wipe their slate clean (again) transpires and they end up lording it for several years due to basically playing the system, here’s the scenario that worries me....

    1. They get relegated “officially” and this allows them to release players with a release clause they don’t want.

    2. League reconstruction is voted through to a 14 team premiership either temporarily or on a permanent basis and they are immediately “promoted”.

    3. The Wage cuts they have implemented just now means no deferment bill to pay back to the players/staff meaning a financial advantage gained over every club outside the OF, most of whom did the decent thing in deferring salaries, allowing them to rebuild their squad and possibly finish 3rd next season.

    Maybe I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate here but in my entire lifetime they seem to be exceptionally lucky and get away with everything.

    Maybe they’re just ruthless at these things rather than giving two hoots for sporting or any other form of integrity and will again twist the whole thing to their advantage?

    Maybe if the above comes to pass it won’t be fair but life invariably isn’t fair and I just worry that they will come out of this whole **** show smelling like roses whilst those who do the “right thing” end up on the ****ty side of the fence.

    No one really wants reconstruction but Budge and her media people.
    The constant throwing of reconstruction stones by them all is getting people annoyed now.
    Reconstruction isnt happening so lets call it recalibration?
    They really need to be sent down TODAY.
    Anything else is unacceptable and unfair to every team ever relegated.
