Its not unlawful. Please. The clubs voted for it. It’s a members organisation.

Still at it I see, despite QC legal opinion to the contrary.

That ***** has spent too long sharing an office with that Aidan guy. Probably thinks green socks are quicker than maroon too.

Absolutely bizzare article.  So Hearts have only ever played outside the top flight in 5 seasons in our entire history.  Yet this weirdo is trying to claim we are a yoyo club.  Oddball.

Cosgrove saying we have been awful all season so deserve to go down.

 

Weren't St Johnstone bottom for more games than us this year? Doesn't that mean they deserve do go down more than us then?

Yep

If the plan was for hardly any Hearts fans listening in, then they’ve cracked it.

Someone mentioned it already. 

 

You have to laugh at Cosgrove praising Dundee United and having Shankland when they can't afford him. 

 

Spending more than Gretna or Livingston ever did. 

 

So he is claiming we are spending outwith our means, despite we have been posting a profit every season for the last few seasons. Sums up him as a pundit then, more interested trying to say things that suits his narrative than what the reality is.

 

Also anyone getting fed up with the strawman that some use "reconstruction would not happen this if it was Hamilton bottom." It might or might not be the case but no one would know until Hamilton are in this position. They are making a reason for not backing something based on something that could never be proved.

Yes. By not voting for reconstruction they would be signing their own clubs death warrant.

 

It’s pretty clear what should have happened here. A resolution to call the league with promotion but no relegation. Reconstruct the leagues. Batten down the hatches and have 42 clubs (although more likely 44 to include Kelty Hearts and Brora) pulling all their time, effort, resources, and innovation into helping the whole of Scottish football survive this.  Survival was key. Regaining strength thereafter would take time, but survival is critical. That is ultimately what the function of the SPFL is, to have a duty of care for all members and protect their interests.

 

Instead of the above we ended up with a divisive, flawed, and incompetent resolution which put 44 clubs at each other’s throats, promoted an I’m alright Jack mentality, and will ultimately lead to the demise of a number of clubs and Scottish football as we know it.  

 

The SPFL board should never survive this. There are individuals on that board who have consciously made decisions that will result in Scotland forever losing clubs, history, jobs, and community fabric. They are a fecking disgrace and should be dragged by the bollocks through the courts.

 


Great post

Apologies if I'm being thick again, but let's assume we take the SPFL clubs to court for failing in their duty of care towards us and we win, which leads to clubs going bust through the cost on them to pay up towards our compo.  Could those clubs technically put a counter claim in on us for forcing them out of business?

Thats not how it works.

 

You dont take someone to court and win and as a result the compensation you are entitled puts their business under and they then they take you to court because their business went under.


That would be a bit bizarre.

If that's any sort of possibility, it also massively strengthens the case for league reconstruction or our case for compensation. Needlessly relegating teams into leagues that can't even play... the SPFL won't have a leg to stand on.

Exactly. The sheer gravity of the whole voting process is now coming to light.

 

Hearts have a very good case and it is only getting stronger so the pantwetters should go have a look at scots case law history before spouting their mouth off.

Cosgrove can’t really be that thick, can he? The whole point being made by Hearts, and a few others, is that nobody should go down under these circumstances. Not us, Partick Thistle or Stranraer. Collective attention to be on all clubs survival, rather than trying to permanently damage a few, just for the hell of it.

You would think that would resonate with his attempts to be a bastion of fair play and looking out for the common man. He’s surely not a hypocrite by being selective in his mantra?

Petty and misinformed right enough.

Is it a parachute parachute or is this the final payment for the final league position, the only parachute payments I'm aware of is to Berwick Rangers and East Stirlingshire when the were relegated from League 2, this was in addition or seperate to final league placement payment

Brian McLaughlin gave a breakdown of what 'might' be due back to Sky and BT.

 

It was a scary amount for Sky because of the 2 non OF games not being televised and ran into millions.

 

 

 

Which is shocking as few people will subscribe to Sky Sports purely to watch Rangers v Celtic games. I’d love to see how much money Sky bring in for 24 hours pass subscriptions just to watch those games and would wager it is nothing like the value they have placed on it. The financial weighing Sky place on those games is frankly outrageous, only matched by the SPFL allowing them to do it. Yet more incompetence from Doncaster.

His hatred of Hearts seem to show up his attempts to make himself out as a man of the people.

Says Hearts deserved to be relegated. Cosgrove saying Hearts were relegated by the SPFL vote and must stop using "ridiculous" words like demoted. 

Gordon saying there was no vote relegating Hearts !

Yet there was a vote which did relegate us 

Refers to the mess we have been for 2 years . No argument but completely irrelevant .

Tam MacManus brought Cathro into the debate recently !

How difficult is it to see that this is about us being relegated off the field ?

How do we cull players that still have contracts with the club?  

 

I think the standard way is to tell them they have no future at the club and are free to find another club. Obviously you will get those that are happy to sit on their contracts and not be involved in first team action so there is not a lot you can do with those.

 

The ones who want to play might be prepared to move on to get game time.

In my heart of hearts, I expected Hearts to survive relegation and to reach the Scottish Cup Final, but apparently we were bottom for most of the season and cheated by signing Boyce so deserved to be relegated according to the Weedgie media and pundits.

Hes right that Particks prediciment is worse than ours in a way as if they dont play at all next season that could be a disaster - hoping that St Johnstone soon start struggling which they will without any money coming in from attendance and over reliance on Old Firm filling their lego land stadium

It's her fault that we were unfairly expelled from the league?! Get a grip.

 

That's the equivalent of blaming a woman who goes out for a night out in a skimpy outfit for being molested. Ok, so we were bottom of the league, and that is partly due to Ann, but that did not merit in any way whatsoever what happened to us.

 

You're a Hearts fan and you're victim blaming your own club?

 

Partly? Are you on drugs? 🤡 

 

Her mismanagement of the club left us spiralling downwards over the last 4 seasons in which we have failed to meet acceptable expectations, eventually to 12th place which has put us in the vulnerable position where we have been demoted. 

 

Yes, It's unfair and unjust but we should never have been in that position in the first place. It is entirely her mismanagement that has put us here. 

 

Had we played the 8 games and stayed up, she would still need to go regardless. She's absolutely ruined us. 

 

Her saving grace will be Championship clubs unable to play due to no gate money. 

 

You can deflect away from the facts all you want and lash out at everyone else for it but Ann Budge needs to go asap.

If it’s only an 18 game Championship next season, then the lack of income - and ability to generate income - will surely see this go to court.

 

I’m not a bitter person, but I can see how others find it easy to take that path.
 

I have a desire to see other clubs fail. That’s wrong, but hey 👋

We might have more chance of getting reconstruction if it was true but it wouldn’t sit right with me if we only got it because of a sympathy vote.  Imagine if we had to rely on playing in the Premiership because Hibs said yes.  I’d feel dirty and much rather we did this through court but I don’t know if it’s possible for a court to overturn the clubs’ decision and put us back into the Premiership as opposed to awarding us compensation.
