Other SPHelL clubs in trouble must be thinking...

They are hardly the only Scottish club trading whilst insolvent. Kilmarnock, Dundee Utd and Aberdeen are also basically insolvent, I doubt even selling their grounds would cover the debt they have. I'm not sure how Hearts can start next season, there isn't going to be a white knight riding to their rescue. If they can't field a side then Morton would be promoted, whilst that might ensure a couple of decent attendances for St Mirren it's of little interest to the rest of the sides or TV. A further club collapsing would surely signal the end of the league.

I still believe this is for the best though, Hearts need to start again, so do most of the other SPL sides, the sooner they do it the sooner they'll be healthy again.

One of the astounding pointers to the mismanagement of our nation's game is that we have reached this state while, for many decades, having the highest attendance to population ratio in Europe.

 

Unfortuantely we as a club were one of the prime movers in this mis-management, but still, it's something to think about nonetheless.
