Anne Budge crumbles already

[Now and forever]

As it says in the title.

Budge was just on Clyde. Stated she's still against it but if after more talks and every avenue is explored, Scottish football decides the only way they can deal with this situation is to finish the league and relegate Hearts she will accept it and won't fight the decision.


Sickening, predictable and so it begins.

 

[Mamabear]

Wonder what’s she’s been threatened with

 

[The Goalie]

Wonder what’s she’s been threatened with

or promised

 

[Partickger]

What a gimp.

 

[ekbear]

In that case I hope Hearts go bust.

 

[weetam3106]

“Ms Budge, I have Peter Lawwell on the line, shall I transfer the call?”

“ Yes dear, I was expecting the call....”

Can’t wait to see the hearts fans response to that

 

[Johnny Yen]

Maybe she realises that an expensive legal fight will be futile?

Let’s face it, if it does go that way, there is ultimately fuckall that us or Hearts can do.

 

[Carlton The Bear]

She’s been told they’ll restructure later on if she’s seen to be bending over and taking one for her team ‘up front’

 

[BrunoBear]

or promised

Exactly

She knows they won't be relegated imo

 

[Mamabear]

or promised

Yes, or promised

 

[Kaiserweiss]

I think she realises that hearts are fucked either way

 

[Kingging]

No way Hearts fans can accept that. No way she can survive such a ridiculous capitulation

 

[Amadaeus]

If Hertz are going bust then the carrot must have been to help them out. No demotion to the 3rd for them. Plus a sizable amount of loanees from cellik.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Wonder what’s she’s been offered.

Fixed that for you, Mama.

 

[EndOfDays]

What exactly did she say?

 

[Mamabear]

I heard Budge too, you’re being a bit unkind to her I think. She basically said if they vote to relegate hearts there’s not much she can do about it they’ll just have to accept the decision.

What else can they do?

Didn’t she say they would sue? What’s changed?

 

[GTM]

I’m amazed people are surprised. Keeping them up is too much of a carrot. They don’t have the financial structure to go down again.

I won’t hold my breath on her staying the course.

 

[George Goudie]

That's scandalous but what more do we expect.

Not one person in Scottish football seems to care about 'sporting merit' as they coined it.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Calm doon people, this is the important part.

"...but if after more talks and every avenue is explored"

 

[bearspakora]

Didn’t she say they would sue? What’s changed?

Budge previously threatened legal action if Hearts were relegated. Its obvious she's had a phone call to say otherwise.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Or, perhaps, having spent the day talking to clubs in the Championship she knows already the SPFL proposal will fail.

Gotta be optimistic.

 

[Zulu]

Its not rocket surgery

 

[spotlight]

The threat of Rangers and Hearts taking action could cause change. The Tims would make it very clear they wouldnt be messing about.
She and we should be much clearer and firmer on this.

 

[sg9375]

Oh dear Anne.... Peter Liewell here sweetie. Support us and you will get???????????
thats whats happened today.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Calm doon people, this is the important part.

It's not exactly fighting talk though BB, is it?

 

[Virgil Hilts]

She’s probably been given the nod that they won’t be relegated

 

[TheSpark]

or promised

This is the correct answer

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Stitch up. Every step of the way.
They will probably have been promised the Earth.
We as stakeholders of this league should be opposing this at every turn.
Legal action is the only way. This cannot continue to go on.
it’s blindingly obvious what is going to happen, fucking Stevie wonder would be able to tell you what’s going to happen, but clearly no one is going to stop this nonsense from happening.
It’s clearly going to be left to the sensible folk To try and stop this stitch up.
Lawyers for rangers surely have been consulted?

 

[4ladsHAD]

There’s no way hearts are voting for this . She was asked a question , what would we say if asked the same ? Basically they are saying “ what are you going to do about it ?”

Rangers need to get out of Scottish football . We came we saw we conquered , they tried to kill us , we’ve come back and realised we are too big for the backwater this place has become . Gerrard knows it , Ling knows it , and most of our support would relish another journey but this time down south where we will be treated as equals . We could be up at championship level in 4 years . Challenging for the EPL slots .

 

[George Goudie]

She still voting against the spfl proposal I assume?

 

[Sam Therapy]

She knows they will be relegated then un-relegated.

 

[TynesideTrueBlue]

Fcuk Hearts , Fcuk the rest of them ... We should be looking after No1 ourselves and no kunt else. Where was Hearts in 2012 for Rangers.. We need to prepare for a fight against the corrupt cabal scum.

 

[Now and forever]

I heard Budge too, you’re being a bit unkind to her I think. She basically said if they vote to relegate hearts there’s not much she can do about it they’ll just have to accept the decision.

What else can they do?

Certainly not being unkind.

Last week she stated on numerous occasions that if they end the league and relegate Hearts she would fight them all the way.

Surely you can see the huge difference to what she is saying now?

 

[BrunoBear]

She’s probably been given the nod that they won’t be relegated

This will turn out 100% true, she knows they won't be relegated

 

[Portals_Bear_Blue]

What else can they do?

Seek legal action

her team gets relegated without a season being finished just to accommodate the filth it’s as simple as that

if she just accepts it then I hope they go out the game and deserve everything they get

 

[Blue and True.]

Hearts have been given the assurance they wanted.

 

[Gramps1]

Hearts have been given the assurance they wanted.

Your opinion or ITK??


When is this vote anyway ?

 

[Gordon1951]

The Priory of Sion must have threatened her.

 

[basil1]

Not really sure why Budge is getting criticism here. She said she would fight it and wants to find a good solution for everybody. Ultimately though if every other team in scotland wants this then Hearts would have to accept it

 

[jaws73]

She still voting against the spfl proposal I assume?

She is, and reckons it won't pass as Championship clubs aren't buying it. However Petrie's 'timely' announcement about suspending the league until 10th June might sway some of those clubs back into the SPFL camp.

The OP is a bit of a misrepresentation of her position IMO.

 

[5*RFC]

She's happy to relegate them without a fight?
They lost something like £1.6 million the last time they were down there, it'll be a helluva lot more this time which they won't survive. Madness.

 

[Now and forever]

Or, perhaps, having spent the day talking to clubs in the Championship she knows already the SPFL proposal will fail.

Gotta be optimistic.

Whether it fails or not that doesn't mean ending it is off the table.

She is saying if it happens further down the line she will accept the decision.

 

[My boy Blu]

What is rocket surgery?

 

[Bryanmc]

The reconstruction is obviously a goer

 

[Blue and True.]

Hearts have been given the assurance they wanted.

Your opinion or ITK??


When is this vote anyway ?

She went from legal road, to not supporting it to now what she is saying on Clyde..the devil is in the detail.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Whether it fails or not that doesn't mean ending it is off the table.

She is saying if it happens further down the line she will accept the decision.

If the SPFL proposal is to fail it will be nothing to do with the Premier League teams. The Championship is the real battleground.

 

[wsb&warmy]

What's been mentioned in the OP is only a soundbite of her interview. She seems very confident the vote won't get passed through.

 

[Wugs]

Wonder what’s she’s been threatened with

The Liewell 'Boaby'

 

[SimonLeBon]

Hearts are vermin and have been for many years. Their support is full of nationalist feckwits.
