I don’t understand WHY a business is stopped from going about their business! Who has said Hearts can’t go about their business. As long as the same Covid testing, procedures etc are in place, Hearts why could we not start training. It’s like saying some hairdressers can open but some can’t even if they have all taken the same Covid prevention strategies! Can anyone tell me who is saying we can’t train? Thanks

Only Nicola sturgeon can answer why there are such inconsistencies over lockdown.  Pubs to open but you cant play football....

So according to our friend! 

 

its entirely justifiable that hearts and thistle suffer the full consequences and  financial damage becuase clubs didn’t intend to harm us, they were only looking out for there own interests..

 

but utterly abhorrent that some some other clubs may suffer the consequences or financial damage when hearts and thistle look out for our interests.  He hold this view we have clearly demonstrated we are not trying to harm anyone firstly by proposing many alternative (no detriment)  solutions and bringing a source of funding to the table to help all clubs through this period
 

is that about right? 🤦‍♂️

 

Yes that is pretty much the general opinion of the less educated opposition support.

 

You can try and help educate them on the points you have made but it only serves to make them even more angry, bitter and twisted. 
 

They are blinded by their jealousy of Hearts as a club and they can’t help themselves. 
 

They know that whatever the outcome of this as we have seen time and time again, Hearts and the supporters will bounce back stronger, the rest of Scottish football won’t recover.

He still hasn’t answered the most basic question... did Dundee vote.  This whole farce falls at the very first hurdle.

In relation to our petition - from the way I read (I could be wrong) Section 994, Companies Act 2006 - the crux of the matter is the initial resolution and the fact that there was a vote. The fact that the vote itself had ‘issues’ further demonstrates the company actually caused unfair prejudice to 40 other clubs as concessions were apparently given to Aberdeen and Dundee for their votes.

I would guess that we are seeking the double whammy of both the resolution having failed and also being unfairly prejudicial.

 

This will keep coming back to the basic point of why the SPFL didn’t remove any doubt over the Dundee vote and re-run the exercise.

If they could! None of them have a support pumping in 6 figures every single month, who'll step up to save the club as many times as it takes. None of them have a philanthropic benefactor who's been quietly pumping in millions and who has our back for the next half decade.

 

We're probably the worst possible club to try and put in this position from their point of view 

[kingantti1874]

Also, I should have added when other clubs considered their  “interests” they included 

 

1. (Premiership teams) Hearts surely won’t be as bad again- there is absolutely less chance we will be relegated next season if they are not in this division.. 

 

2. (Championship teams ) Having hearts in the championship will mean some bigger gates.

Nicola sturgeon has only given permission for premiership clubs to train as they are going starting August 1st. The person we all know holds the real answer to this is that absolute helmet Doncaster. 
He could say that all clubs who are available to train with the correct safeguarding measures in place are able to train.

Seems that it is OK for 'other business people' to vote in their own interests but not for Hearts and Thistle to take action to protect theirs? How strange. Bonnyrigg Rose took action to protect their own position and as a result other clubs DID suffer.

 

This whole SPFL thing stinks to high heaven and if you can't smell it, I'd get yourself a check up pronto.

 

The Dundee vote, the 28 days deadline which sometimes seems to be forgotten in a sea of other nonsense, and a vote whose partial results are disclosed not only before the 28 day deadline but indeed before a vote had been cast. 

 

In sure Kevin Keegan style I would love it if all our suspicions are proved to be founded.  

 

Time will tell. What you can be sure of though is that after exhausting all our legal options, we will indeed take our medicine, as we've done before, back our club, and haul ourselves back to where we actually DO belong.

 

In closing, I'd say that folks like you, maybe need to stop focusing on Big Bad Hearts and consider Partick, Stranraer, Brora and Kelty. Perhaps you're judgement wouldn't be so clouded as it clearly is now

Its also felt very clear, that if it was a team like St Mirren or Hamilton in our position, the football community would do more to help them. But because it is us, and people like to see big clubs get a kicking then it has become a stubborn view of you cant get any special faviours because you deserve it as you should not be at the bottom.

@firsttimecaller doing a great job of creating deflection away from those who were the cause of this whole debacle. His noise is no different to that of the SMSM, it’s just noise. Hopefully soon we’ll be enjoying the silence.

@firsttimecaller see when your argument actually has some valid points and as you put it ‘depth’ to it instead of the ramblings of a bitter Hibby you may actually get some reasoned responses  
 instead your arguments ,much like the Celtic da’s on Twitter and some of your more deluded peers from Easter Road are only based on a hatred of all things HMFC

I love it when opposition fans come on here and post their opinions, it’s staggering some of the warped views on this case. 
 

They clearly don’t have the capacity to form their own opinion and instead just lift their knowledge from the sun/record.  I’ll happily leave it to other Hearts fans to educate these people, unfortunately they are so blinkered in their views of Hearts they won’t accept the truth.   
 

I also think it comes down to a lot of clubs being jealous of Hearts and the supporters, no one else could create something like FOH and save our football club like we have.  Loads of bitter wee people that foam at the mouth any time Hearts is mentioned.

100% agree. 

 

The fact that we shouldn't have been at the bottom but were, seems to justify demoting us more, it's a narrative the press and media constantly refer too. 

 

 

If it was poor wee Hamilton, I could have seen the narrative being very different. 

Pandemic cruelly denies chance to avoid relegation, big clubs stick the boot in, etc.

firsttimecaller makes the classic mistake of assuming a view then creating a narrative to support his wholly unsubstantiated opinion.

His narrative is full of opinion and no facts, other than quoting posters on here, which is hardly evidence supporting a case against our taking court action

Better to examine the facts, as a Judge in the CoS session did, before deciding to write an "essay" decrying our right to a fair hearing.

Correct this has all been jiggery pokery by sfpl and sfa at the meeting with the government and how the case was put forward - not forgetting that Dumpster was on the working party - Hamilton - Ross County and St Midden are elite athletes - Champioship full time teams arent - aye right .

I believe, We choose 1, they choose 1 and then They 2 choose the other between them. 

Also need to be well versed in company law. 

 

Going to court first has made the arbitration process fairer than it may have been had we went straight to it.

Quick recap as to where we are at, what we know, and what we can surmise from the histrionics.  Today will bring some further unexpected turns and twists no doubt.

 

Friday after three days of Borefest QC dragging this out, time was called at 1pm,  LC went for his shite to deliberate on how to inform the parties of the outcome. By 2pm we scored a 30 yard screamer into the top corner, DU had their case thrown out. But in the dying moments the SPFL managed to get a last minute equaliser, we were going to arbitration. But deep into injury time we grabbed the winner.  The result felt like a loss, all doom and gloom.  Only by 3pm on reviewing VAR and the written report the result was not that bad as the Judge ordered all documentation to be made available, but the media went into overdrive on that away goal will count double and we won’t get a result at the Nou Calpol!

 

The weekend, BBC reporting we can whistle now for compo, like us after a huge wobble, the realisation of what had happened came into full play!  The SPFL and C3(Calpol 3) had actually only changed the arena for battle, we wanted to remain in the Jungle, they wanted Desert, only to discover we sent in the Desert Rats and all they had left was the Navy?  The C3 were giving up as the court costs left them without any re-enforcements and ammo, but the SPFL pleading with them to fight on, For the C3 this is now a suicide mission, we have tanks they are sitting in an inflatable dingy!

 

Monday: this should have been a day of rest but the SPFL went into antagonise mode by publishing the fixtures, to rub our noses in it.  Doncaster went into the Sky Studio playing three blind mice badly on his fiddle while Rome was burning. As an act of defiance DU came out with an ill-judged  JOINT statement claiming the moral high ground and to ask for help by all by reiterating the call to arms by Doncaster to gain the assistance of all other members, once again our own board have acted in bad faith against us.  Now this joint statement was NOT released simultaneously indeed it was full hour for Cove to copy and Paste it, but changed one sentence to give weight to flawed argument that they won the league at a canter.  RR waited 2 full hours before releasing the same statement but with one line omitted as that would have been even more embarrassing?

 

Later on Monday the SFA confirmed that the Arbitration game has started will all competitors be ready?  Only RR started running about the battlefield in shell shock, they don’t know if it’s New York or New Year.  It would be kinder just to take out the service revolver and go for a walk in the woods.  They decided that it would be wrong to ask fans to finance this as it came to a total shock to them that court cases and QC’s cost money.  Worse still the C3 and the SPFL thought that Arbitration would be concluded by Doncaster and a couple of buddies and would not only be done and fitted up.  But there would be zero cost.  The Horrors of war have kicked in.  RR have realised that the cost of this Arbitrary war is going to cost the 5x that of the CoS and will be 10x if they have to pay our legal expenses too  £300k in total!  And worse even if they win the promotion battle they could still lose the war by having to pay their share up to £10m in compensation, plus legal fees.

 

Dundee Utd concluded their extraordinary day by after trying to get their shitty picture pinned on the Fridge, in  the worst case of desperation ever by getting the begging bowl out, proudly announced without any hint of irony, that they paid compensation for a manager from a club that was shafted by their league too.  Finally the day ended with RR pretty much conceding defeat and reluctant acceptance that NOT being promoted might be the cheapest option.

 

Today:  Motherwell have pulled their guy from the board? And well one would hope the C3 throw in the towel and go for a dignified surrender, live to fight another day.  What will this achieve?  Well it will expose the true intensions of the SPFL to shaft us at everybody else’s expense.   I would hope that a significant number of clubs will tell them to re-instate us as they won’t be happy settling for compensation. But we went from Friday being oot ra geme   Oh and just in case we get max compensation each club will have to fork out £250k each.  The CoS costs has nearly crippled RR.

 

I will re-iterate this point.  IT WAS A TOTAL SURPRISE that this has a cost to it, they fought hard over Article 99  without reading it all.  They have brought all of this unto thee an thine own door!

[Walter Burns]

How come the media aren't jumping all over the fact that Dundee Utd are out with the begging bowl.....but just spent £120,000 to get a new manager....

He needs to change his user name to Green Gauge, as every single post he makes reeks of greenery

 

Dragging Bonnyrigg Rose and it's supporters into this just sums him (or her) up as a full frontal coward as well!

 

If you are looking in, just change all of your silly posts to reflect your own team (If your team had been handled in the same way) and then see what we see.

Excellent, informative post, thanks. And I think we can add that the approach to the whole thing was itself unfairly prejudicial, in that the SPFL attempted to change the Rules, after the competition was under way, by means of a company resolution which required a lower level of approval than the amendment of a contract (which would have required 100% approval by all parties). Breach of contract.
