Soctty Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Would Dundee be brought back up do you think? Precedent surely would dictate our Greenock-dwelling, unwashed hobo cousins?

Smeato Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Us, Morton and Thistle in one league. Pleasing. Away games I'd actually be interested in going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1877 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Would this mean a return to the ground sharing proposal that St Mirren seemed to be up for with Morton? Hope not..we've had the best playing surface for decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 A Hearts Newcunto may have to apply to the Lowland League along with others. Although if the present Hearts are liquidated, i cannae see a new Club forming at all. End of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beyond our ken Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 A Hearts Newcunto may have to apply to the Lowland League along with others. Although if the present Hearts are liquidated, i cannae see a new Club forming at all. End of. Yip with the ground gone and all the playing assets liquidated then there is nothing to save. As i said before, it was always going to be so. the bidders were looking to cash in on the stadium and hoped UB liquidators would be soft enough to go with a pittance bid doomed from even before Vlad's arrival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reborn saint Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hibs will have their laugh but when reality sets in they will realise they have lost the sell out Derby forever....How will they like them plumbs?.........Time for an Edinburgh City and a challenge to the Green vermin?

Guest somner9 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Would Dundee be brought back up do you think? Naw! If they are liquidated after the first game is played then most likely scenario is all points gained against them are expunged and we go on with 11 teams. A newcunto Hearts would be unable to join any league after this weekend so it will be a Newcunto hearts applying to the lowland league for next season 2014-15 playing somewhere with jumpers for goalposts. f**k'em!

irvine_buddie Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) So if Hearts are liquidated the 'Scottish Premiership' or whatever it is called now would go ahead with 11 teams and no automatic relegation? What a shambles. Edited July 30, 2013 by irvine_buddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney63 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Given the recent debacles it would be astonishing, would it not, if the new SPFL hadn't prudently considered and put clear arrangements in place in the event of a club going under during the season?

They have arrangements in place..... however clear..?

Translation - We will make it up as we go along depending upon whichever option available to us best suits the ends of Celtic (or Rangers if appropriate).

HSS Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I would think if Hearts go out of business after Fri then we'd go with an 11 team league.End of season?Winners of Championship automatically promoted with 2nd v 11th in a play off. That may be too sensible for the football authorities tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be too sensible for the football authorities tho. It's far more likely to be 11th, (bottom of the league), relegated, 1st and 2nd promoted Edited July 30, 2013 by stlucifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irvine_buddie Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Surely an 11 team league would have a huge knock on effect to all the other teams. It would mean everyone would play 3 games less before the split and the bottom 6 (Now 5) only play 4 games after it therefore a big loss of matchday income. No Edinburgh derby to put on Sky. No automatic relegation spot means less to play for at the bottom as well. Edited July 30, 2013 by irvine_buddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E=Mc2 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 It's far more likely to be 11th, (bottom of the league), relegated, 1st and 2nd promoted Where's the logic in that scenario? At any particular time in the season, probably towards the end of the season, a team is in 11th place and Hearts are 12th, and Hearts go bust, and even if they hadn't gone bust they could not catch the team in 11th place. Under your scenario Hearts demise automatically relegates the team who were guaranteed a chance in a play off? Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is the first with play offs so no one knows WHAT would happen if Hearts go t!ts up mid season. The scenario I presented might still be the outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Leishman just interviewed on the wireless talking about how great it is that a CVA has been agreed to 'save' Dunfermline. Arsehole. Aye, that's right Jim, I'm sure all the creditors who've been shafted will be raising a glass of fizz tonight. The guy has lacked class and humility throughout this process. At least the administrator had the good grace to mention the fact that many people have lost a lot of money as a result of this shambles..
