David Black Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) There should be a statement this afternoon from AB saying we are lodging legal docs, no later than tomorrow. This statement should have been prepared in advance of this indicative vote as the outcome was fairly well known. There can be no excuse for delaying this now and it should be stated in the statement that we, as a club. have gone along with every single move by Doncaster, which is now clearly time wasting tactics . There is nothing else that can be done, even Doncaster said that. Personally I am not disappointed by this vote as I have wanted this to go to court for a very long time, that way no one can hide as all the underhand goings on will now be exposed under oath. On a separate note, has the EEN ever actually had an article speaking up on our behalf. Edited June 15, 2020 by David Black remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenson1 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 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.

Midloth_Iain Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 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. https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Perhaps the strangest part of all this sorry business, is Dundee's changed vote, what exactly have they gained from doing that? League reconstruction was always a bit of a long shot, the decision that should quite rightly have been challenged was the one taken back in April, to give the SPFL board executive power to end the season early. It is pretty obvious that we could have played the 19/20 season to a conclusion, even if it was behind closed doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 3 minutes ago, GinRummy said: Yes we have. You’re talking utter shite. Doncaster wanted to delay things and would have been in contact with member clubs. Things have been delayed so we’ve been played. You denying the obvious in an aggressive way doesn’t change that. You think that is aggressive ?..god what a joke if you think that..grow up. Remember this https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/ann-budge-i-will-take-legal-action-if-hearts-are-relegated-itd-be-restriction-trade-2868046 Hearts chief Ann Budge has warned that she will have no option but to follow through on her threat of legal action if the Tynecastle club is left languishing in the Championship when the new season finally kicks off. That would throw Scottish football into even greater turmoil and could derail the resumption of competitive action, but the retired businesswoman insists she would make a stand if something is not done to mitigate a decision she maintains is “unfair” and “wrong”.

We have been shafted to a level I didn’t think was possible. This is the most preposterous thing of all in the whole debacle. I think Hearts could run away with the Championship title next season if all things were equal. But keeping Stendel and being able to afford the wages of a squad he'd choose to put together will be nearly impossible with only 27 matches most of which will be in empty grounds. Of course Ann Budge might be able to squeeze £1 million or so compensation out of The SPL which would improve the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what kind of assurances they have been given. Fully expect if Budge pushes the nuclear button the TV / radio / paper media and every tin pot chairman will be given full reign to spout off about the injustices created by Hearts, that Hearts will destroy communities etc. Completely forgetting that they same chairmen caused this situation. Hate to say it by I think reconstruction is now dead. Doncaster and the rest of them had a quick look at Belgium and France and have now shut their eyes, put their fingers in their ears and are now shouting blah, blah, blah to ignore the noise. This is now about screwing the SPFL for every single penny possible. Has it been mentioned what the uptakes been for Mr Anderson's money? Clyde asking fans for money today, what does the Doncaster and the SPFL do if Inverness, Partick, Falkirk or Stranraer or someone else go out of business in the next couple of months.. Ann Budge needs to get a statement out asap to at least tell us Hearts fans what she is doing next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
