Shes shat it , like the rest.
not got the balls for a legal fight

strange one indeed if our board don't push it on .Possibly wishful thinking on my part, can’t understand what we’d have went to the lengths of tabling a resolution for an Independent Inquiry if we didn’t feel that we had a case that would have a chance in the courts.
I cannot for the life of me understand why clubs aren’t trying to set up streaming services for their games.
I’ve seen several lower division leagues inEurope plan to do this. Again reeks of a typical Scottish lack of ambition/effort.
Surely any fan would pay a slightly reduced fee from a match ticket to watch the game online to support their clubs in this time of need?

think maybe waiting on the tarts jumping in first for they have more to lose but if they don't ,i'd expect we will only would nt bet on it tbh .
every one of us knew we weren't getting 75% to get the inquiry.thats the only reason we even got the vote at all but if we let this drop we will be sitting like scolded children in the naughty corner.
can't see us letting it drop as easy as some would like .
no surrender
i'm with you on that,we are playing a good game and as you say bankrupt them if need be .IF we don’t get tore in we’ll never be taken seriously - at governing body level - again.
I’ve still got faith in Douglas Park to keep fighting.
If possible I’d happily see Rangers bankrupt The SPFL.

no reserves they say ….sounds ideal for a perfect storm
Those governing the game still fiddle while Rome burns and don't seem to have a clue what they are doing whilst Budge (as predicted) appears to be getting nowhere.
SPFL line up showdown summit as Hearts Championship talks drag on for THREE hours
Scotland’s 10 second tier clubs held mammoth meeting on Monday as Ann Budge prepares to show her hand.
League bosses are set to call an emergency board meeting in the next 48 hours to discuss the next step in the crisis facing Hearts.
Record Sport understands SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster will call the meeting on Wednesday or Thursday of this week after another dramatic day of video conference calls on Monday pushed the relegated Tynecastle club closer to a nightmare scenario of being locked out of football’s big restart.
All 10 Championship clubs met online for more than three hours into the afternoon as they attempt to thrash out a way for Scotland’s second tier to survive the coronavirus pandemic.
And, as we revealed on Sunday night, the majority of them remain resigned to being unable to afford to start the season behind closed doors.
A number of them do believe, however, the season can begin as soon as a the government allows a percentage of fans to get back into their grounds. And they are hopeful that could see the Championship slowly get back to business by October or November.
But Record Sport can also reveal the safe return of supporters has not even reached the discussion stage as football and Holyrood attempt to agree on a potential pathway out of the other side of the Covid-19 lockdown.
Those conversations will gather pace on Tuesday when Scottish football’s Joint Response Group officially hand over to government an action plan, in which detailed proposals as to how to get the national sport back up and running will be mapped out.
But, while these phased stages will centre around how players can get back to training and then return to playing matches behind closed doors, there is no plan for how and when supporters might be allowed back in through the turnstiles.
A Championship representative said: “The clubs had a good, productive conversation and we all want to find a solution to the obvious problems we face in starting next season.
“None of us think it’s a good idea to shut the division down until the new year. But, at the same time, there’s a realisation that a large number of the clubs will be in no position to play on behind closed doors.
“The feeling is, if we can get to a point when maybe 25 per cent of the stadia will be open to supporters, then we will be able to play. The hope is that could perhaps come some time by October or November but there’s obviously so much uncertainty at this time.”
But that will do little to ease anxiety levels surrounding Hearts, following the controversial decision to relegate them from the top flight without completing season’s 2019/20 fixtures.
Owner Ann Budge had been expected to circulated a plan for league reconstruction following Monday’s discussions with the her nine Championship rivals but no new paper has been shared around Scotland’s 42 clubs.
But the SPFL board will be hoping that Budge does finally hand over her document ahead of their next crisis talks later this week.
One Hampden source told us: “The board will be briefed about the discussions between the Championship clubs on Monday morning. But they will also want to see exactly what Hearts are proposing because, for more than a week now,the expectation was that this new reconstruction paper would be produced as a matter of urgency.”
Doubt hearts could survive 1. Until November with no football and 2. with a 25% filled stadium for long.
They need to be in the premier or they are fucked.
Agreed mate.The only way they will achieve that now is legal action.

Don,t think they have the balls for legal action .personally think they are all talk.The only way they will achieve that now is legal action.
Donno. Season down isn't the end of the world. Donno how the contract situation is with players. I know Naismith has a few years but I'd imagine there's a relegation clause. We're the only club in Scotland that could take him and that's not going to happen.

HMFC Kickback just now:
The SPFL and lots of clubs are desperate to get Ann’s proposal ASAP so they can kick it out.
“Ann just make them wait .... slowly clubs will die one by one and the remainder will be desperate for survival ...... just make them wait until they promise to vote yes and do it it the Hearts way - Gorgie Rules!
And if so many clubs die that Scottish football ceases to exist in its current format just walk away and find somewhere else to play! A club like Hearts will be a major asset to any league!”
You'd maybe think so and I have posted similar i.e. why should hearts be saved? If Celtic are champions then hearts should go down regardless of reconstruction.If do t understand how a relegated club can be brought back in ( using 2912 as a sort of barometer- Dunfermline).
Surely it would be the ICT’s & Dundee’s who’d come up

Ergo if Hearts don't remain in the second tier then Celtic's title award should immediately be rescinded.
Especially after the decision to end the current campaign was unanimous and the capital club voted in favour themselves. Mr Winnie believes that may be one of the biggest factors which could work against Hearts in court, should it go so far.
Don't think that is true. Winnie must have bought the mhedia line on this.
If it is true then Budge's incompetence knows no bounds.
A major asset in any league thats a good one mentalists.HMFC Kickback just now:

Nail on the head.Ask yourself this , if Rangers were in a Hearts position right now, do you honestly think there would be talk of reconstruction, they would be climbing over themselves to kick us down
"They could possibly legally object that the resolution is unfairly prejudicial to its interest.
Don't think that is true. Winnie must have bought the mhedia line on this.
If it is true then Budge's incompetence knows no bounds.
This is the route I thought Rangers might go down once all remedies have already been sought via football authorities. An action that can involve a few clubs but can't be by a majority of the shareholders - i.e it could jointly be taken by the 13 who voted with our resolution for example, or indeed any number of them..
The Friday meeting of the Premiership clubs that agreed the season could not be played to a conclusion was a mere talking shop. A sop to let Cormack argue he’d got a concession from Doncaster. The SPFL Board, the only body who mattered, had already been empowered by the Good Friday vote to end the league any old time they liked. The Premiership clubs could have met and agreed 12-0 that the season shouldn’t be concluded and the SPFL Board would STILL have been able to gift the Dhims the title the following Monday.
That Friday meeting was nothing more than an informal gathering.
