Some supporters deserve the club they support, sod them and her and their pathetic example of a football club.
Thats null and void.If they can't be relegated, there can't be a winner of an unfinished season..
Your a lost cause.How do you know?
If they didn't Budge would be all over it with legal action. She would not be gambling with reconstruction if she could blow it out the water altogether.

So you dont know but are throwing stuff out as factYour a lost cause.
There will be no league reconstruction for next season. Last I'll engage with your entrenched skewed views.
I'm not saying it will happen either.I don’t think she IS gambling with reconstruction. Reconstruction isn’t happening. Certainly not this season. There is no consensus around any of the numerous plans and not enough time to do so - even if the will was there. There is only 1 opportunity for Hearts to stay up and that is the, unlikely in my opinion, playing of the final few matches.
It’s predictable that this was always gonna happen. Stitched up again I feel
. There is only 1 opportunity for Hearts to stay up and that is the, unlikely in my opinion, playing of the final few matches.
Fight itI 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?
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.
She isn't taking them to court if it happens further down the line..If she ends up having to take them to court it's more favourable for her if the Judge sees she explored every avenue available to Hearts and the SPFL before taking legal action.
Calm down.
So you dont know but are throwing stuff out as fact
I agree tbh, we should care.I'll get absolute pelters for this but the next line is part of our problem.
Maybe we should care, the fact that so many clubs actively hate us has given the scum carte blanche to do as they like, they're on the brink of being handed a title they haven't won. Absolutely criminal.
We need to regain power and influence and if it means that we have to change our attitude (or at least how we are perceived) then it's what we have to do, for the sake of Rangers and future generations of fans. I know I'll get pelters but adapt or die, a slow painful death.
They have though.My own take is if such a rule existed they would have exercised it by now to give the poets what they want.
The fact they haven’t suggests to me they are having to find another way to skin a cat.
They have though.
They have forwarded it as a proposal. If it gets voted through it's happening.
Thankfully i don't think it'll pass the vote.
This is very surprising as she is normally a smart woman.As it says in the title.

Eh lets see . . . . .You're at it. Where does it say they will do this for season 19/20?
It doesn't btw.
Although I think your thread title was misleading, I see where your coming from.They have though.

Surely there is safety for hearts if the season was n and v?
That has been my point mate.I prefer the term ‘incomplete’ to null and void. I honestly don’t see it happening though - UNLESS it’s what happens across Europe. If the decision is left in Scotland we know how it’s going.
And in response to @Now and forever question I do think if there was a legal way for Hearts to get the season ended with no relegation then they would pursue it - if the advice of their legal team was that they had a reasonable chance of success. I’m guessing the advice might be that there’s a legal route there but the chances of success are not great.
That's the way I see it mate. I think rangers with the backing of other clubs have tried to change the direction, wether they can or not remains to be seen.I prefer the term ‘incomplete’ to null and void. I honestly don’t see it happening though - UNLESS it’s what happens across Europe. If the decision is left in Scotland we know how it’s going.

Fair enough.I don’t agree it’s the same at all.
If a rule existed they wouldn’t need to put this to the vote of the clubs they could simply have had the SPFL board ratify their own rules and no one could argue.
With McLennan and co they have the numbers on the board without needing to go to the clubs.
That’s why I suspect they have never planned for such an eventuality, and to be fair I can see why they possibly haven’t thought such an event would ever occur.
Fair enough.
I strongly disagree with that though. If they didn't think they could do it they wouldn't be putting it forwsrd and Budge wouldn't be withdrawing the threat of legal action.
Ok mate . . . . Time wlll tell.Don’t misunderstand me I’m guessing as much as the next guy.
I just think if it were covered within the rules they would have done it by now, and wouldn’t need to rely on a vote.
Sadly on the vote itself I think they may get it passed.
There would have been no rule for this, so it will probably need a vote to put the rule in place. If its passed whatever way, it will probably be binding wether we like it or not.Don’t misunderstand me I’m guessing as much as the next guy.

To be in the championship in 4 years we would have to go straight into the conference and that's not going to happen. Playing in England is fantasy stuffThere’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 .
The spfl is one entity, why cant it can be sued? It’s the ruling bodyWho 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.
Take them through the courts?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?
It looks like it was bluster or that her lawyers have advised a legal challenge would have no merit. She’ll be voting against the proposal, I would imagine, failure to do that is not in the best interest of her club.So all the bluster about Hearts taking the legal route was, well, just bluster?
The smoke filled room has obviously seen an offer they can't refuse being offered and accepted.
I hope we're made of sterner stuff.
I don’t subscribe to this Love in with Hearts in the last couple of days..
If they are offered no relegation, but teams at the top win the title, they’ll bite their hands off.
We take the governing body to court, all teams are removed from European competition, Fu©K us? We'll Fu©k them harder as their wage bill will cripple them.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.
