As with the Ladbrokes Championship, Ladbrokes League One and Ladbrokes League Two competitions, final season placings have been determined by points per game in league matches played to 13 March 2020 by each club. The decision means that Celtic are crowned 2019/20 champions and Hearts have been relegated to the Ladbrokes Championship. The final placings in full can be seen below: https://spfl.co.uk/news/ladbrokes-premiership-and-spfl-season-201920-cur So unanimous agreement.

It was going to happen so the club IMO has acted correctly although I am not happy about it. Now that the line is drawn we can now start looking to the future hopefully with more promise. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 One wonders what incentives were provided for Hearts to give in so easily. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an easy one probably none, other than it being pointed out that reconstruction already voted down. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 8,116 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 There "ends" the most embarrassing episode in Scottish Football since 2012. Hopefully Hearts, Thistle and Kelty takes the corrupt cabal to court (as should we - The status quo can't continue). Enjoy your tainted of all tainted titles Liewall and your lackies yous deserve each other. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I don't think us or Hearts agreed with the SPFL handing out the title or relegation, we would've agreed on ending the league early though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinker 887 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) Hearts statement Following today’s decision to end the 2019/20 Premiership season and expel Heart of Midlothian Football Club from the top flight, the club would like to provide a brief update to both its fans and the wider Scottish football audience. We have stated from the outset that we don’t believe it is right that any club should be unfairly penalised because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was previously indicated that league reconstruction would not generate enough support to pass a vote between member clubs. In recent days a number of positive talks have been held with both the SPFL and member clubs and this topic is currently being revisited. Hearts will shortly submit a member’s resolution that we believe is a pragmatic solution to the issues the game currently faces and a way forward that the clubs can unite behind. It is our belief that this resolution, if supported, will provide an opportunity to avoid disproportionately disadvantaging - financially and otherwise - any club. This is possibly the final chance for our game to stand together, protect each other and not only survive but flourish in the aftermath of this terrible pandemic. Players from across all leagues have shown a desire for reconstruction and having already received support from some clubs we are hopeful that this resolution can positively progress Scottish football. As previously intimated the club has been taking legal advice throughout this process and are continuing to do so. We hope that the resolution being prepared will avoid the need to go down this route. Legal action would be both time consuming and expensive. However the cost to the club of relegation would outweigh these considerations. To our supporters, we thank you for showing patience and continuing to back the club. We will continue to fight against what we believe is an unjust outcome. In summary: "Give us reconstruction or we're going to court."

der Berliner 3,747 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 If clubs, including us, do not take this sham and all that led to it to the courts, they (Scum and SPFL cabal included) actually have acquired a cart blanche to do what they see fit. Make no mistake, the CO will be their inquisition tool again, the SFA will laugh at the way we are refreeed and the SNP led government will push through strict liability ... which will sure not chase their brethren. Might sound like all paranoia, but it is what has actually transpired before our eyes these last 10 years and it won't stop. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
