Always remember, the day we went into Admin - Hearts were issued with a winding up petition!
Weren't there several instances of them being unable to pay players, pay creditors etc - but they kept getting deadline extensions
Also such a pity Wallace Mercer didn't go through with eradication of the Edinburgh celic several decades ago .Several clubs have been placed in administration over the past decade or so. Livingston seem to have little regard to small creditors and run up debts/agree CVAs at will. Hearts were close to being wound up. Motherwell were run into the ground. Governance in Scottish football has never been strong.
Then there's the standing joke amongst Scottish football for much of the 80s and early 90s - the Celtic biscuit tin. They seemed to operate a "one for you, one for me" approach to declaring attendance/income for tax purposes.
The falsification of attendances at parkheid was going on much longer than 80s and 90s I reckon it probably started in 60s when they started getting bigger attendances after the appointment of Stein and let's not forget that they were not only avoiding paying tax by falsifying attendances for at that time the gate money was split so they were depriving other Scottish clubs of incomeSeveral clubs have been placed in administration over the past decade or so.
