SPFL and Covid ( Leagues 1 and 2 to restart )

[Shanks]

Unfortunately Budge (and levein) have to take full responsibility for where we are.  You know Budge hasn’t done a great job when the only defence folk have of her is that she has benefactors .  Not much use when the cash is wasted on utter shite. 
 

Whatever happens now though we have to get right behind the club and FOH.

Youve got to wonder how James Anderson is feeling right now after handing over 50k to every club in scotland?

I feel the same angst as everybody, but I’m not going to slash my wrists with rusty razor blades over it.

Its like when we lose a derby

we are shocked, disappointed and angry, and the weekend is absolutely stuffed.

But we know there are only two options, either get over it and get on with it, or let the result consume us.

Trust me, soon even this will be consigned to history, and we’ll be cheering the team on once again, as if this was just a pothole in the  journey to success.
Don’t let this setback lessen your resolve.

The initial pain  will soon pass.

 

No, it really won't.

Some good positivity but what do you define as success? To me this ruling ensures the 2 team league just got stronger and will not be challenged again in my lifetime, that's why many of us are done!

All panelists were neutral. Each party pickrd one from a list as part of the process. They weren't anybody's "men"

 

The arsehole seems to think that we got to interview all 50 on the list before picking "our man".

Continuing my rant against the Directors, I put this point to Stuart Wallace early this year, but never received a reply. My question was now that Bidco has in effect handed over the shares to Fanco ( albeit the paperwork) , why do we need 2 boards of directors. What is the point , Surely this would be an opportunity to streamline the club. Do the German clubs have 2 boards, Barcelona? I could see the point up to now but not anymore. It is time for massive change within the club and we should take this opportunity both on and off the field.  

FOH never address anything related to the running of the club. They only speak to applaud Budge’s decisions

Hopefully the shite who took us to the bottom will have clauses that kick in now. Contracts ripped up or half wages.

Like the rest of our history we, and in particular those in charge of this club must never forget the utter shafting we've had here and the lack of integrity and fairness involved by, pretty much every other club in the SPL and elsewhere.

I will be at Somerset to watch us play. I stay in South of Scotland and it is only when we play killie i have a chance to see Hearts play. It will be nice to know they fuds will be paying stewards and police to watch me.

You make some good points but it seems to have passed you by that folks on here are interested in more pressing matters. 

I agree but it is still relevant to how the club is being run. Off the field we are/were in a very strong position. On the field due to how/who is running football side, we are a disaster. If it was not for our benefactors pumping in millions this outcome could have seen us go bust. What I am suggesting could easily be in place by October therefor making sure the apathy shown by ALL the directors does not happen again.

So I’m assuming taking this to CAS isn’t an option ?

And the initial resolution was passed before this was done. 

 

I thought at worst we'd lose but get compensation for this. 

That’s what I don’t get, we may also be stuck down for 2 seasons if leagues curtailed again!! Obviously this hasn’t been a consideration either.

Changed my mind as well, won't be going to the sf or possible final if we get their either. 

Not this season. 

 

Watch it in Gorgie or at the ground. 

 

Loyalty Points threshold will be high for that option!

 

Away days with exception of ICT for me in 2020/21.

 

Hearts & Only Hearts for me.

 

It will be interesting to see the growth in FoH donations going forward.

Surprise no, deeply disappointed yes. I can see is getting shafted now for trying to stand up for ourselves.  All our fellow member clubs should be ashamed of themselves,  Spineless and self serving nobodies in the main.

Additionally, when do we get our flogging for daring to have a pair?

Only the arbitration I think.  I think we would only get hit with their CoS costs if it had been dismissed by the court.

Yeah that’s correct.  The legal fees for CoS have already been divvied up, we paid 50% of SPFL’s and none of the 3 promoted clubs

I hope all that happened over the last week comes out fully so we know who and why they shafted us and that includes the panel members identity

To hell with all this secret crap.

 

Even more secretive than the former KGB (Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti) of the former USSR. More corrupt than FIFA.

 

Do the powers at be even realise what a laughing stock the Scottish game is?  There was barely a mention of the arbitration process in the English media. When Romanov was running us, we were rarely out the English press, possibly a bit of genius marketing on his part, but point still stands.

 

For the record, I think once the SFA/SPFL have their wee celebration 'do', I think they will royally shaft us, that much I'm sure.

We wont know the full picture of the decision and the club's plans going forward until we get a club statement.    No point frothing at the mouth until then.

We can always ask other clubs to help us with any fine.

Maybe just me but that is a disgusting headline from the SPFL and words from the chair and ceo.

 

For anyone looking in from other clubs, one day it might be you and the culture within the SPFL and SFA is

 

'eff off, dry yer eyes, we are untouchable'

they have no self awareness. Doncaster with the “vindicated” pish whilst other leagues finish on the pitch and a number of teams show it’s possible to escape relegation. That statement is one of the smuggest I have ever read, unbelievable when you consider the context that as an executive they have positively shafted 3 member clubs In such a disproportionate manner

Tell the SPFL we are off to the court of arbitration for sport and get the interdict request put in as well.

No Scottish cup for me. Would  happily attend an other paid admission, covid safe venue ,  to watch, if club gets cash. Suspect too busy licking our wounds to take them on again.

...while protecting others in relegation play-offs.

Still stunned that teams such as Cowdenbeath and Dundee in play-off slots didn't bat an eyelid that their chance of promotion gets snuffed out.

Correct and the rule that suggests no hard to another member must now be thrown out the window by Hearts. They have change rules and thrown sh!t at us for long enough. Any club that is harmed by our actions should be waved at as they sink and any thoughts of helping them should be shot down asap.
