Anne Budge crumbles already

Budge and HMFC had a chance to stand up and have integrity. Fùck them and they can take whatever comes their way without complaint.
 
No chance of this getting passed.

Budge has said as much.

She's talking about taking it further not her decision
 
It is an absolute certainty that the fat Japanese has been in contact with several clubs through the course of the day. If we have not done similar then we are being negligent.
We should be the ones speaking to Hearts to make sure that they are on board. We should be speaking to Aberdeen to clarify McInness' statement and to make sure they are on side, we should be speaking to Hibs to make sure that they are aware that average points means they will drop out the top six and lose out financially, we should be speaking to the teams above Hearts who face the prospect of the playoffs, to the teams in the Championship (Dundee, Ayr and Dunfermline) who have a shot at the play offs and will miss out on the opportunity for promotion, to the likes of Airdrie and Montrose in the lower leagues who will miss out on play offs and we should be making sure this proposal fails.
It sounds as though Budge has done some of this so I would be astonished if we haven't.
It certainly sounds as if she is confident of the way the vote is going to go and, with it potentially going in their favour, doesn't see the need for any further threats at this time.

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

THE SEASON IS VOID. IT WASNT FINISHED.

SIMPLES
 
And for people who still haven't realised Hearts hare us just as much as the Junkies at Easter Road, scum and I wish nothing but the death of the Scottish setup. If it means waiting for an Invite into the League of Wales or lower tier England then bring it on

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.

Totally agree. I for one dont want the club wasting god knows how much pissing against the wind. Dont think they'd have a chance in court.

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

Who can you sue if it goes to a vote?

Not the SFA any more. They will just point the finger to the clubs and take no responsibility. Not sure you can sue a club for voting yes or no either - at least without knowing their sole intention was to relegate hearts, but noones voting either way for that.

Btw we should be taking it as far as we can go and there might be other avenues we can go down but I don't think we can sue the SFA any more.

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?

Not accept it, dispute it, shout and scream about it, question in the media why no other nation has come up with such a BS reason to fix the league, challenge it legally to the very top of CAS if required. Just a few suggestions

Who paid Sheffield Utd for their relegation over the illegal signings of Tevez and Mascherano...the club's who voted are the exact people who get sued. If the governing body exempt the voting clubs from any legal retribution then yes it hands over to the SPFL

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?

Probably have been consulted since all this began. If its voted through, that's the end of it. Just be wasting money and time going to court .

I'm not sure what happened with that but..

Hearts: We will be sueing livingston for voting to relegate us even thoughu we still had a chance to fight.


Livingston: I'm not sure what they're talking about your honour, we were given a yes/no vote and voted with our clubs best interest at heart. Hearts never once came into our train of thought when deciding what to vote.

Not entirely sure how Hearts could sue Livingston (or any other club) in that situation.... if livingston's sole intention to voting yes was to relegate hearts then I imagine they'd stand a chance for damage/loss of earnings/etc etc. But otherwise I don't see it?

Both ourselves and Hearts have lobbied other clubs mate.

Hearts will 100% be voting with us.

Don't get the sudden hate against Budge.

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.

So as usual we get a snippet and everyone starts jumping about on the backdoor trampoline with a big purple head for feck all.

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 .

Not going to happen in the foreseeable future mate.

Who was the poster on the other thread saying "if you think that, you don't know Anne Budge very well" ?

We'll see her mettle soon enough if she's got any.
 
anything that involves Hearts not getting relegated she will go with

looking after her club
 
Now and forever said:
She is voting with us.

The thread isn't about the vote though. It's about her threat of legal action.

“But I have said from the beginning that we will absolutely take legal advice. If the legal advice is that we aren’t going to win then I will let it go. But, we haven’t reached that point and we are still looking at where we go from here.”

They either sue the club's Collectively or as I said if the club's are protected then it moves to the SPFL(I still haven't heard if the vote is transparent l, IT SHOULD BE!)
It would come from the Court of Arbitration of Sort because as you say no court will touch it...or if we are still observing sporting rulebooks? Then courts of the land can't be pursued anyway. The specialist sport courts can and will
 
Just spoken with my mate who is a director at Annan.
He says that as league 1 and 2 are combined for the vote, it largely makes them irrelevant.
He did say however that from what he’s heard, it looks like the Championship clubs will scupper it. Here’s hoping

:)) :)) I would say that even if budge has stuck to her guns, that won’t change from the fact that it’s a stitch up, good and proper.

what can we do?

Thats not what she said on Clyde tonight. She said if Scottissh football takes the decision to relegate them further down the line she will accept it.

Reading what you've just posted tells me she has already been told she has no case if it happens.. . .which is dissapointing.
 
Only way they're accepting relegation is if they know there's no possibility of it happening to them.

Dodgy deal has been done no doubt.
 
would you blame Budge for voting for whatever scenario suits Hearts
 
I`m done with Scottish Football. The way this is playing out with the inevitable going to happen then its the final straw for me.

I`ve missed watching my team recently, but theres no point now in the Scottish set-up.

I read it. She said she will vote against it, but if they lose they wont fight it. I would suggest that she has had legal advise already on this and knows they wouldn't win in court.

What else can she do? Waste already limited finances on a lost cause. We're not exactly rolling in it either, so I doubt well chuck good money away. If anybody thinks these clubs haven't been fully briefed by lawyers, then its time to wake up.

How the hair oil do you get that idea?

If the vote goes against - it's dead. N and V should logically follow as the spfl proposal.

You're wrong and Budge admitted thst herself when she says if they decide to relegate them further down the line (after more discusdions) she will accept it.

There may come a point it is impossible to play the games. If that point comes then the ddcision will be made.

Here's hoping mate we need all the support we can get.

Her voting for that would be like a turkey voting for Xmas mate.

The Championship clubs will never pass it anyway imo.

As for the legal action, we're a million miles away from that at the moment.

Both Hearts and ourselves position is still to get the games played and the league completed.

The first step is defeating this ridiculous proposal.
