Tokyo Drifter Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Here's the club statement: The SPFL Board has today announced that any reconstruction proposals for season 2020/21 will not proceed to a vote due to a lack of support from other member clubs. To say we are disappointed, yet sadly not surprised, at this outcome is, of course, an understatement. We have, from the outset, worked tirelessly with fellow clubs and the SPFL Board to try to find a solution that would right the most obvious wrongs that have been caused in Scottish football by decisions taken as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hearts, along with many others, have stated repeatedly that no club should be disproportionately disadvantaged because of this crisis. This was the final opportunity for kinship to prevail and for Scottish football to stand together in an emergency. It is an unfortunate condemnation of Scottish football that this was not possible. We thank those who were open minded, pragmatic and willing to come together to try and reach a fair outcome for all. Sadly, there were too few of us. Now that all other avenues are closed, we are left with no choice but to proceed with a legal challenge. The club has tried throughout these last few months to avoid this course of action but we must now do the right thing by our supporters, our employees, our players and our sponsors, all of whom have been unwavering in their commitment and support. We can hold our heads up high as we have acted at all times with integrity, common sense and with the best interests of Scottish football at heart. We have stated from the beginning that the unjust and unfair treatment of Hearts, Partick Thistle, Stranraer and indeed other clubs cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. While many weeks have been wasted in trying to find a solution, we must now formally challenge this outcome. The club can confirm that the necessary steps have been taken to begin this legal challenge. Given that this is now an active legal matter, the club will be offering no further comment at this time. To our amazing fans we say that we cannot, and will not, sit idly by and watch the decisions made in the past few months further damage Heart of Midlothian Football Club. Thank you for fighting for us, now allow us to do the same for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamhammer Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 We need to buckle up here cos the club is going to be attacked relentlessly now by what passes for a media up here. Players, ex players (Including nay for pay ex Hearts players) will be wheeled out to condemn legal action and how we should just accept “relegation”. Ready for the fight. GIRFUT all!

I and the vast majority of Hearts fans don’t think about what position we would be in if we lost because we’re going to win. We are out for blood and the anger among our support will keep this court action going until we have won. Let’s put this league and it’s selfish, undemocratic scumbag chairpersons/owners in court to show the world that Heart of Midlothian are and never will be treated like dirt.

Boghell51 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Don't know much about law, but could a judge null and void the season when we go to court, how funny would it be to watch popcorn teeth and thug brown hand the trophy back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 This is 2012 all over again. A snowball in hell has more chance than Hearts winning in court Budge is leading you up the garden path. Quite sad really. You'd be better focusing on getting promotion - Hearts should be skooshing that league next season - unless they appoint that clown McCann.

jumpship Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 The fact the we are watching English football on the tell, just highlights the utter stupidity of ending the Scottish season so quickly. I genuinely think we and thistle should be looking to join the lower leagues of England. Financially we will make more money in the 3rd/4th tier of the English leagues than we would playing half a season in the championship. An Edinburgh club and a Glasgow club without the bigot fans.🤟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
