Malinga the Swinga Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 For the last time, can posters please stop saying we look like being relegated, or the SPFL are relegating Hearts. It keeps getting added to threads and it is just plain wrong. We are not being relegated, we are being expelled with 8 games to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Laff Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I don’t think expelled is correct either though. We aren’t getting chucked out the leagues, it’s wrongful demotion if anything. Bury got expelled from the football league (lost their membership) that’s not happening. It’s not relegation either though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirky Jambo Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 To be honest the terminology we use on here doesn’t really matter, we all agree it’s unfair. Id much rather the club starts using the term “expelled” in its media communications, even just as a reminder to the simpleton supporters, managers and board members of other clubs who seem to be peddling the view that we deserve it as we have been rubbish this season so far. I guess the only reason the cub might not want to is if they need to rely on relegation clauses in player/staff contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I agree with the OP. People like Doncaster can postulate all they like. We have not met the criteria for relegation, nor had Partick or Stranraer. What has been done to them is despicable. This Covid is the worst thing ever to happen to the SPFL and they are completely out of their depth. Their only interest is pacifying the only two clubs which matter to them and they can't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETTY29 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Think the club may have to 'accept' the term relegation as terminology such as expelled would mean no further monies or parachute payments.

Jean Louis Valois Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Expelled or relegated, it doesn't really matter they both have the same outcome. Completely unfair being sent down after 30 games, and the crooked spfl and clubs are to be blamed. But not as much as Anne Budge and Levein who have allowed this to happen, basically ran the club into the ground footballing wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downunder jambo Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Relegation, demotion, expulsion - whatever you want to call it, its totally unjust and I think we should fight it to the bitter end, and if that means going down the legal route then so be it! If we have to take it to court perhaps we could join forces with Partick and Stranraer and share the legal costs. There is no way we should just roll over and accept it!

Lone Striker Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 There was an interview on BBC Breakfast yesterday with a guy who was a former CEO or chairman of the EFL - he was sceptical of how football in England could be restarted this calendar year ahead of a vaccine. Too many logistical problems and health risks, even behind closed doors - quite a sensible chap actually. Anyway he ended by making the point that the most important decision the EPL and EFL could make is to STOP all relegations, because it was simply unfair. As I say, a sensible chap who would be wasting his time applying for a position in the SPFL. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
