What a heap of utter pish. Having a go at Hearts because our CEO was organised and wanted to try and safeguard club and employees future. His suggestion that If only she had waited until Friday and then chancellors suggestion may have saved us from doing this, is a classic case of hindsight. If only patient zero hadn't contracted virus, if only China had immediately blockaded Wuhan, if, if, ****ing if. That article is pure bile and shit stirring from the mouth of one of this countries poorest journalists, and given the standard we have to put up with, that is some achievement. Could do an article about how the future of football will look like after this goes away, but that would require insight and intelligence. Could do a article about how clubs will have to adapt to survive, how this could lead us into summer football or a restructure, but again, that takes insight and intelligence. Instead, types article one handed while tossing himself into oblivion rehashing pish from the darkest recess of his booze addled brain.

You have it correct. Aberdeen, Forfar, Edinburgh City, Barcelona and others are clubs that have been badly effected by a global pandemic that none of them could possibly have forecast or avoided. Heart of Midlothian on the other hand, are a football club that refused to allow for a financial impact that they alone should have been aware of. Our CEO, Mrs Budge should have known that Covid 19 was going to go worldwide at the start of the season and taken steps to ensure that Tynecastle was the one place in the world where this virus could not impact.

Leckie is coming across as a prize anti Hearts galoot. I may be wrong but I haven't yet read that AB has imposed any financial restrictions re pay - she has ASKED. So far as I am aware Stendel has waived his salary while Naismith, Sievers, Levein and MacPhee have opted fot half pay: there may be others. Dikamona has chosen to terminate his contract and intimated his wish to re-sign. Naismith has said he would like to play for HMFC whatever league we are in. These are hardly the actions you would expect to see in response to some dictatoral owner as portrayed by Leckie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not 80% of the wages though. That' has an upper limit of £2500 per month. By offering a 50% wage we could perhaps defer suspension of wages.

jackal Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 These cuts havent even been implemented yet but you would think we are cutting people left right and centre because the club has no money. Lets see how everyone else does when this really kicks in and discuss who was right or wrong. The most important thing is the survival of the club itself, regardless of a short playing career or not maybe some players will need to go and find a normal job after football and not expect to live on 15 years salary. Im sure many players have an idea what they want to do after their playing days are over but I dont think many are going to find themselves in financial hardship.
