Wish Rangers would just stop these statements! do something or shut up

I wonder what punishment he will receive for that?

But nobody really cares!

All well and good on a level playing field, which we don't have and haven't for some time now! if this just passes as it seems to be, then we will just continue to get shafted I'm afraid.

Yesterday afternoon’s announcement that Dundee FC has re-cast its vote, in support of the SPFL’s written resolution of 8th April leaves me both disillusioned and bitterly disappointed. Believe me when I say that I know that you, our supporters, will be equally disappointed and indeed angry. As I have said previously, I believe the whole process has been incredibly badly handled and shows Scottish Football in a very poor light. The reasons for Hearts and others voting against this resolution have been well-documented and, sadly, anyone who believes this decision will draw a line under the whole matter, is in my opinion being optimistic indeed. Suffice to say that I believe the SPFL should have admitted that errors had been made in the handling of this resolution, withdrawn it and asked Clubs to revote. The outcome may have been the same but at least some of the criticisms would have been addressed. However, it is now of paramount importance that we do not give up in our efforts to right this wrong. We will continue to fight for this. I have said from the outset that it was imperative that we find a solution that ensures no club is penalised by relegation in a situation where the leagues cannot be finished. The financial consequences are enormous. Many others agree with that view. While some clubs may lose out to an extent in terms of what “might have been”, the 3 clubs in relegation spots with many points still to play for, face financial consequences that no-one appears to feel are either fair or reasonable. This is what must now be addressed through a temporary change to the league structure to cope with what is likely to be 2 very “abnormal” seasons. Over the past week Hearts have been working to fully understand the consequences, financial and otherwise, of possible changes for next season. We will continue to do so, working with other member clubs and supported by the SPFL, where required, to put through the changes needed to right the potential wrongs of relegation in this situation. We will speak to all 42 clubs and discuss options in a totally open and transparent manner and do our very best to win their support. I have been told by a number of clubs that they are keen to find a way to work together to find a solution which we can all get behind. While Hearts have not at this time been relegated, Partick Thistle and Stranraer have. This should not be happening and we will do everything in our power to find a solution with a positive outcome that works, not just for the 3 clubs in relegation spots, but for all of Scottish Football. https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/chairmans-statement-16-april-2020

Fucking pathetic, shameless the lot of them.

I would much prefer Rangers to take this to court, if clubs go to the wall then tough!!, not one of them gave a fuck when they tried to kill us. However what Jackson has reported, which is just more bullying, is bollocks, clubs can get loans from the corrupt SPFL, and the amount of money he is quoting is also bollocks! but then he knows that, just more threats, shameless bastards.

Scottish football faces one final sweat before SPFL can dish out £9.3m money pot to clubs Any legal challenge before 10am on Thursday could result in cash being blocked from being released. By Keith Jackson 22:45, 15 APR 2020 Scottish football faces one final 24-hour sweat before the SPFL can begin dishing out the cash payments which will help it survive the coronavirus crisis. A total of £9.3million of crucial prize money was finally unlocked yesterday when Dundee flipped sides and voted through a raft of emergency measures, just as Record Sport revealed they would on Tuesday morning. But, although league bosses now have enough backing to effectively end the current season and start distributing funds, we understand the proposals could still be blocked if a legal challenge is made before 10am on Thursday when the cash is to be released. Partick Thistle have already threatened to take it to the courts after they were relegated from the Championship as part of the proposals which will also see Stranraer sent down to the fourth tier UNLESS league reconstruction can be rushed through the rule book in time for the start of next season. Hearts owner Ann Budge - whose club will also face the drop by the end of this month - and Les Gray of Hamiltin have been appointed to head up a task force and charged with the responsibility of thrashing out a new look league set-up which would win the approval of the overwhelming majority of Scotland’s 42 clubs. Plans will now be discussed to create a new 14 or even a 16 team top flight and sources believe there is a prevailing mood to rush to an agreement. But, while the SPFL hope this will help to convince Thistle to back down, there remains the possibility that an interim interdict could be lodged at the Court of Session between now and tomorrow morning, which would freeze all emergency pay outs for months – and send tens of clubs to the wall. A source said: “That’s the final hurdle that the SPFL has to get across. If Thistle or anyone else for that matter feel strongly enough then the legal route would be open to them until 10am on Friday when the money will be deposited to clubs around the country. “Let’s just say there will be some people on the sixth floor of Hampden and beyond who will be crossing their fingers and holding their breath until the money starts dropping into the accounts of our clubs. “But the hope is that all the disharmony we have seen over the last couple of weeks - or at least most of it - was ended yesterday by Dundee’s vote. “It’s been a messy, heated affair and the SPFL will have to look back when this is all over to learn from the mistakes it has made and understand what changes can be made to the rules so that Scottish football is not placed in a situation such as this again god forbid it is ever faced with a similar set of circumstances to those which have been presented by this global pandemic.” Dundee’s yes vote was cast just moments before yesterday’s 5pm SPFL board meeting and five days after last Friday’s deadline. As a result -0 and with immediate effect - Tayside rivals Dundee United were crowned champions of the Championship, Raith Rovers have been awarded the League One title and Cove Rangers have clinched League Two. SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “Prior to this positive result, we were unable to make the vital end-of-season payments, which will provide a lifeline to so many clubs in the lower divisions. From our detailed discussions with clubs, many were facing an enormous cash-flow crisis. We have moved as quickly as possible to try to resolve this unprecedented situation. “We’ve achieved the 75% agreement threshold in the Ladbrokes Premiership, Championship and Leagues 1 and 2 and will now be working as quickly as we can to get the end-of-season payments to members in the three lower divisions by the end of this week.” https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/scottish-football-faces-one-final-21874172?2
