The generic Hearts thread

[The Harp Awakes]

Given Anne's latest fudge seems doomed to failure, a big call is coming her way on whether to launch legal action. I suspect after the usual bluster she won't. It would cause massive aggro and create lasting hostility towards Hearts from the majority of clubs.

If she does, her chances of success must be slim given she would be trying to overturn the vote of a members organisation.

Even on the slim chance she succeeded, the best she would get is either a re-run of the SPFL vote (which would likely result in a bigger majority for, as clubs will be well p1ssed off with Hearts), or compo.

Why wouldn’t they need to declare where the money came from in their financials form a money laundering or financial crime perspective?

Their auditors will have checked the transactions and would be duty bound to report them if there was the slightest whiff of money laundering. As long as the auditors are happy Benny can remain anonymous.

It is all just wind and pish. I don't think she wants to go ahead but the fans do so she'll shortly be under immense pressure from them to proceed. She knows they've got a weak case and probably the advice to her is not to go ahead which is why we are seeing repeated threats of court action as the threat of it is the only thing they've got left.

Once the reconstruction proposal is knocked on the head I expect a statement saying, for the good of the game Hearts have decided not to go to court.

Today is Levein's last day at work. So long and thanks for the relegation Craig. I shall be raising my glass to you tonight in appreciation of all your good work (for the benefit of Hibs). Enjoy your seat in the stand next season watching as the Championship unfolds.

Is that Dr Mrs Ann Onymous do you think?

Fair enough. Definitely don't think it is Budge though.

No idea who it is, although did think it was her. Main thing is her plan is thrown out the window. Now I think there real situation will be laid bare as the championship unlikely to start before the start of 2021. Going to enjoy their pain.

A special purpose vehicle or a family member could have been used. That would mean the contributions would not be reported as from a director. Sneaky but legal.

At the stage now where I can’t stand this woman. Whinge, whinge whinge like a bairn that isn’t getting it’s own way. So now, and rightly so, a number of the lower league clubs can see through her proposals and are saying they won’t vote for them, all of a sudden the voting structure is wrong and they shouldn’t have a voice. Just F off, take your medicine and accept your relegation with some good grace. Oh and make up your mind, you either have loads of money or you don’t. Choose one and stick to it.

Exactly. She’s also turned decent hertz fans into blithering idiots forced to trot out the party line they know is utter Horlivka. She has adopted trumpian ways which is a terrible look in Edinburgh. The unbelievable garbage I’ve heard from hertz fans has actually taken by breath away at times and the few sevco fans I know have accepted that the leagues had no their choice. Budge will make their club pariahs if she doesn’t desist from her pathetic, childish behaviour. To say the structure is wrong when she has spent months trying to wriggle out of relegation when the vote isn’t going as she wants is unbelievably embarrassing for Edinburgh.
I don’t wish them go bust but now have them as the same level of dislike as sevco. Tom English has lost any sense of balance during this debate and will struggle to get his credibility back and as for banderson and the evening news. Utterly cringeworthy. It’s been a very sad reflection of a lot of folk in Edinburgh which is what’s disappoints most.

It’s all a good laugh isn’t it?

So Legal action it is she has two QC on board no less.
Restriction of trading being one of the claims.

Enter the legal guys

[QUOTE=Thief;6186975]This clause she mentions (emergency situation where board can overturn vote) does anyone know whether it exists?
The rules are online but I couldn’t find anything, although not sure if I was looking in right place!
I find it unbelievable that a club chairperson would refer to it in a media interview without checking its existence.

The board can’t overturn a vote of the clubs. She is just deluded. As Doncaster has said,many many times,the board acts on the clubs behalf and only the clubs can change anything. She’s like the queen mum at royal ascot after a sherry too many.🤣🤣

Me thinks Benny factor was hoping he could retire from saving them and is now upset he’s having to raid his piggy bank again.. Budges behaviour suggests Benny doesn’t want to help anymore and she’s facing reality for the first time.

This really is the pick of the bunch.

Restriction of trade - the straws are gone and she’s clutching at thin air now.

[mjhibby]

They are ripe for a dodgy takeover. I bet there are loads of unscrupulous businessmen hovering over Gorgie right now looking for a quick asset strip. The jambos are being sidetracked by budges bletherings and could end up in an even worse state. They never learn.

She’s had one too many QCs 😂 not a chance of success but I’ll love watching their efforts.

[we are hibs]

Quite a few of them seem to think lower leagues = league 1 and league 2. Lower league actually = any league below the top one. The one they arent and wont be part of for some time.

[Not In The Know]

"Ahh but we are only looking at League Reconstruction for the benefit of Scottish football. But... if you dont keep us up we'll sue and stop youse all playing!"

I wish they would now just F off and shut up.

No the first QC did not agree withe second QC .
Then they decided to team up , easy money twice the cost and Annie is left where she started in the championship.

I wonder could clubs vote the Hearts out of the SPFL set up completely

Very good...wonder if her adviser on her reconstruction proposals is Gerry Mander?

[Waxy]

Can they be docked points for threatening behaviour?
It’s what they’ve done.

[lucky]

Only thing she has got right is the SPLF voting system is not fit for purpose. But as she not proposing to change it it’s just more waffle from her

[Jones28]

So now they’re attempting to bring the game into disrepute. At what point do the league decide they’ve had their fun and it’s time for them to **** off for good?

[Aldo]

You couldn’t make this up. She should really take the appropriate advice prior to rambling on after one too many Gins.

The sooner this proposal is booted into touch the better.

When she says it’s not fit for purpose she is specifically referring to her purpose. She wants to railroad her changes through and the voting system makes that difficult. She’s not been remotely interested that the voting system was heavily weighted to the premier league teams, specifically two teams, in the past.

She had the opportunity to challenge it when she was on the board but didn’t.

Where does this restriction of trading nonsense come from? Its only been rumoured that Championship games won’t be able to start behind closed doors. Nothing confirmed as far as I’m aware. I’m assuming that’s what the restriction of trade is about.

It’s her latest nonsensical idea after her first three or four reasons for Hearts not being relegated have been laughed out of town.

The next one will probably be “we qualified for the Scottish Cup semi final and may still have to play it. In the interest of fairness we should be kept in the Premiership as we were in that league when we qualified for it AND IT’S JUST NO FAIR!!!”

They’ve been doing that for weeks now. No attempting about it.

Yip, you can hear how that will go in court. "So Mrs Budge when you were in the SPFL board you will obviously have out forward motions at board meetings to change the voting structure and the minutes of these meetings will be available for the court to view" she is a fanny and what she means is that it's not fit for purpose as it doesn't fit into her own purpose. She will be laughed out of court if she even dares to go there

[calumhibee1]

I also see Hearts fans are frothing at the mouth that the Ayr chairman has said they finished in last place.!

“How stupid is he, doesn’t he realise the season wasn’t finished?!!!!”

Meanwhile, their own club voted for the season to... yup, you guessed it. Finish.
