The only pity is - because its being done remotely via video etc - we dont get to see either Doncaster or Budge throwing a hissy fit on the "courtroom steps" afterward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambos on JKB appear to be quite confident of a win tomorrow. I wonder how often over the course of last season, that they had this level of confidence the night before a game. If their football team was as shit hot as their legal team would appear to be, they wouldn’t be in this mess!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmen Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 there is no real ‘win’ for hearts tomorrow. It’s a procedural hearing. They can send it back for arbitration or it can move towards a proper hearing (think that’s what the wife said) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only a couple of weeks ago that we had a small influx of supremely confident Hearts fans come onto this thread ready for reconstruction to be pushed through. That went well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their idea of a 'win' tomorrow will be 'not getting the case immediately punted to the SFA'. That's an extremely low bar for victory and I wouldn't be too surprised if that happens. It's once the case starts getting looked at on it's merits that the problems start to arise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take December for example. 8 league games, 3 goals scored, 2 points out of a possible 24. That’s why Hearts are going down Successful Businesswoman Anne Budge, and whose fault is that? Yup, that's the truth of the matter, it was a shocking season for Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Yup, that's the truth of the matter, it was a shocking season for Hearts. But, but, but...They were just about to go on an unbeaten run.It's not fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that’s my concern though. I’m sure that Successful Businesswoman (and shining light of moral integrity) Anne Budge is not losing a moment’s sleep at the fact that a protracted case, and the uncertainty of the outcome could have a major impact on the recruitment of our new manager, (that she has made it necessary to undertake), and could also lead to our losing out on potential signing targets to other clubs. Serves us right for winning the majority of our games last season eh? It will be interesting if this were to be the case and Hearts lose, whether Successful and Annoyed Businessman Mark Ogren would fancy taking Successful Businesswoman Anne Budge back into court to chat over these issues. Fingers crossed the judge takes one look at this and asks the Jambo’s legal team why the f**k they are wasting his time with this pish, and we can all get on with preparing for the 1st of August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 It's unlikely this action would have been instigated if their legal advisers didn't think at the very least it would see it's day in court so to speak so it's highly likely to be committed to a full hearing today I would think. This of course will be treated like winning the league by Hearts fans who will see that as a victory in itself when really it's nothing of the sorts. If thrown out completely then serious questions have to be asked of the competence of all involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts will have thrown money at their legal team who aren’t going to turn that down which is why they will have instigated it. The whole thing smacks of desperation last chance saloon for successful business woman Ann Budge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insaintee Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Why have hearts wasted money on this? If you look at the way Hearts fans have jumped on the "Not fair," band wagon other than ask WTF has Budge done with our money, the answer is pretty obvious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal advisers don't necessarily advise on whether a case is winnable, just that there is a basis for the case to be made. They get paid whether it goes to court or not, the only way they don't get paid (edit: paid less) is if they say "Nope, absolutely no chance of going to court" which they're clearly not going to do. The ruling today is whether it's within the court's remit or whether this should go to arbitration. In many ways SFA/CAS arbitration would suit successful businesswoman Ann Budge because that has the most likely outcome of some compensation - certainly not the millions she's asking for mind. If the case does proceed from here, it is absolutely not in any way signalling that there is a likeliness of it winning, more that there is enough of a legal argument for it to do so. There are countless spurious cases that make it to court, ones which you would look at form the outset as having no chance, but the argument is there.

welshbairn Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Kickback are getting fired up for the big 6 pointer. Looks like a score draw if the analogy fits, contrary to ShedBoy's analysis. Or both sides lose, which is probably more apposite. Edited July 1, 2020 by welshbairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghPar1975 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Can't see there being anything other than this getting punted back to the SFA for a 'review'....i still can't see where the actual legal argument is for Hearts given how the SPFL used voting, set up committees (with HMFC as chair) for reconstruction, held more voting and only after all of that did AB decide to do a complete 180 on herself and no go with what the 'football community' deemed to be correct. If nothing else its a decent watch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Queenie, ensconced within her golden palace, without a care in the world and every privilege the 'proles' do not, trotted out hints at the British Blitz spirit, it absolutely ripped my knitting. Lest me mention Sun back pages of WW2 slogans when "our cousins" down south play the Germans. Edited July 1, 2020 by Ric 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
