John O'Brien Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Well well well. 27 clubs vote against Rangers call for an Independent enquiry. I seriously think they will call a halt to the season now. Only the Scottish Cup in July now. Quadruple Treble is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would definitely have won it so let’s call the competition. Hearts Scottish Cup Champions 2020 that’s how it works right?

For what it’s worth mate, reading through Celtic’s statement they were all for temporary reconstruction to the league for next season but respect the vote that was against it. It was clear Celtic didn’t want anyone going down this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinburghowl Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Looking like Hearts are going to be expelled from the league and our enforced and unsporting demotion will be confirmed today. I wonder how quick the club will be to make a statement and confirm legal action? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinburghowl Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) “Following today’s decision to end the 2019/20 Premiership season and expel Heart of Midlothian Football Club from the top flight, the club would like to provide a brief update to both its fans and the wider Scottish football audience. We have stated from the outset that we don’t believe it is right that any club should be unfairly penalised because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was previously indicated that league reconstruction would not generate enough support to pass a vote between member clubs. In recent days a number of positive talks have been held with both the SPFL and member clubs and this topic is currently being revisited. Hearts will shortly submit a member’s resolution that we believe is a pragmatic solution to the issues the game currently faces and a way forward that the clubs can unite behind. It is our belief that this resolution, if supported, will provide an opportunity to avoid disproportionately disadvantaging - financially and otherwise - any club. This is possibly the final chance for our game to stand together, protect each other and not only survive but flourish in the aftermath of this terrible pandemic. Players from across all leagues have shown a desire for reconstruction and having already received support from some clubs we are hopeful that this resolution can positively progress Scottish football. As previously intimated the club has been taking legal advice throughout this process and are continuing to do so. We hope that the resolution being prepared will avoid the need to go down this route. Legal action would be both time consuming and expensive. However the cost to the club of relegation would outweigh these considerations. To our supporters, we thank you for showing patience and continuing to back the club. We will continue to fight against what we believe is an unjust outcome.” ——————————————- Not quite harsh or blunt enough from Hearts in my opinion. If it was me in charge I would be leaving reconstruction up to the SPFL to sort out and if they fail then make it clear that we take them to court. The SPFL messed us about last time with the reconstruction task force, they should sort it this time. Congrats to Celtic. I’m not bothered about the title but Hearts, Partick, Stranraer, Brora and Kelty all have an injustice to fight. I also think we should be putting an interdict in place now to prevent the SPFL from starting the following season and to stop funds being released to clubs now. That could potentially put some other clubs out of business but frankly given what’s happened now, and how most of them voted, I don’t care. There has to be consequences for actions. We are on our own, Hearts are being shafted more than any other club, fizz the lot of them and if it kills some clubs then so be it. That is on them. There is absolutely no way Hearts should be accepting this. None whatsoever Edited May 18, 2020 by edinburghowl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Don’t mean to sound ignorant, but what is the financial implication of relegation? Also I’d be confident that Hearts can bounce back at the first attempt. Huge club at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We smashed that league last time and won it by 20+ points with Rangers and Hibs in it so we should get promoted. We shouldn’t be in this position though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
