Hearts v The SPFL.....……………………………………………………………………...in court.
Partick hanging onto Hearts' coat tails now too, wanting 2M of the 10M compensation, or their relegations reversed. Threatening to stop the league from starting if they don't get their way. Can just see Ann stamping her feet and threatening to squeam and squeam until she is sick if they don't give her what she wants.
Didnt we try refusing to play unless the SFA or whoever reverse their decision to demote us to the third division? Remind m; how did that work out?
Yeah but she's threatening to go to court and get an interdict or something to prevent the league from starting till the court decides what is to happen. Personally think it's all bluster to get an out of court settlement for being relegated under such circumstances. She isn't exactly making friends with all the other SPFL clubs, the way she's went about it, slagging them all off for being small minded, having self interest in their own clubs etc. Ironically, everything that she herself has done during this whole episode.
Hearts fans are lapping it up though, the injustice of it all, how unfair it has been, Ann has only ever tried to get it resolved in a fair minded manner...….cough...choke....splutter, truly deluded the lot of them. It has been pretty entertaining watching it all from the sidelines, with Livi being so comfortably safe from relegation and all the in fighting. We actually suggested a format right at the start of this, that took Hearts and Sevco 3 or 4 attempts before they got to the same proposal.
From memory, Hearts first proposal was purely self interest in saving their arses from relegation, a temp 14 top flight reconstruction with 3 teams relegated the next season to put the league back to 12 teams.
2nd proposal was also doomed from the start with the bottom tier teams saying they'd all vote against it, think it was the one letting HL teams join them. Sure some teams wouldn't have been promoted with the jumbling of the leagues too.
Then Sevco & Celtic tried to take advantage of the situation, thinking it was a way to get their colts teams in, thankfully that got booted into touch.
Then Hearts finally actually tried to come up with a decent proposal, of the 14-14-14 they should've tried to start with, but I think by this point they'd pissed so many teams off that everyone was just sick of them.
The SPFL then came up with just the top flight being affected, and expanded to 14, but again, everyone was sick of the reconstruction pish by then, and quite frankly, it looks worse being split to 6-8 in January, than our current 6-6 split.
As a neutral (so to speak) with no self interest to gain either way, looking on, it's absolutely amazing seeing Hearts claiming the moral high ground, slagging everyone else off, and 5 minutes later Hearts and all their fans are salivating over destroying fellow SPFL clubs, hoping some will go bust due to them being starved of cash while Hearts fecks everyone over stopping the league from starting, even the ones that voted Hearts way, that's just too bad. And they are still claiming to be the moral bastions of Scottish football, you really couldn't make this shit up.
