On the 29th May 2013, the highest scoring draw in the FA Premier League occurred. We might find ourselves in that very position if the league is mothballed or severely delayed.

I’ll agree I don’t think it would ever happen but the way things are with the league, the media, referees we pay for a season ticket and it’s just to make up the numbers for a league for Celtic & Rangers. It’s depressing. Scottish football is what I love. Unfortunately its dominated by those two teams but English football!!!! Not a chance.

Tokyo Drifter Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 We stay. Our time will come. Doesn't need too much to fall into place before we're challenging at the top end of the Premiership and there's no reason we shouldn't be making inroads in European competitions, which we couldn't do from the English lower leagues. We have the fans, the ground, the history and the ambition, we just need our directors to start acting like professionals and make the correct managerial and coaching appointments, and those people to make the right decisions regarding recruitment. We need people with talent and charisma, but they are out there and they will come. The only thing that isn't certain is our luck, but God knows we're due some.

I agree. if Scottish clubs en masse go to the wall (and some English clubs too - probably a lot considering the massive number of them), a British league is the solution. we would have to join high up though. Not at the bottom. And I would want to see all surviving Scottish clubs in it. Would be quite fun: play Hibs, OF, Aberdeen, then Chelsea, Arsenal haha. it would financially be incredible for us. Also we would have a lot better players and more fans at games - expanding the stadium no doubt eventually. Same for Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that long ago that we heard Hearts lining up to the Champions League music. We have allowed the team to sink into one hell of a depression over the last few seasons. After pissing the Championship, we finished 3rd the next season. After that, we finished 5th, having been as high as 2nd in the league. Hell, even as recently as a couple of years ago, we had a good run at the Top of the Table. We are not far away from getting it right, we just need the correct decisions from the Top, and to have the baws to make difficult choices for the sake of the team and not to sentimental or emotional ties. When exactly would we get the chance to do that again in the Vanarama National League? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauldrick Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 It's noticeable that there is a growing number of people on here who would quite welcome Hearts to stick two fingers up at the Scottish fiasco and look into joining the English set-up, the latest argument seems to be that if we are in the championship then the championship is mothballed therefore no football and no income so, move onwards and eventually upwards.

Bauldrick Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I find myself somewhere in the middle of this argument to stay or to go, on the one hand I have spent/wasted/ tolerated being cheated for a longish lifetime by the dubious Scottish system ie, the blazers, the refs, the arse cheeks, so part of me would like to shove it right up them. Then again, being Scottish, it rankles a bit the thought of playing lowly English sides that I have never even heard of, and as has been said they might not even welcome us, unless of course some of their teams start to go under, then I console myself thinking it's never going to happen so why bother.

OTT Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I don't think something like this would ever happen for a host of reasons. We're too big to lose to the SPFL. The FA have already said they don't want the OF (who would follow as precedent would be set that it can be done) It would signal the end of smaller leagues with large clubs. Ajax, Legia Warsaw, Copenhagen could then all join the Bundesliga, Belgium would merge with France. It would have a deeply damaging long term impact. The SFA are making this threat because they're backed into a corner. We're legally sound to proceed. They know that, they also know that they can't defend their actions in court. In the highly unlikely event that were to be formally expelled from the SPFL then perhaps we could look into English football. But Scottish football cannot afford to lose its third biggest club and the Edinburgh Derby. It would be astonishing if they went down this road (nor would I expect UEFA/FIFA to allow them to).
