minnbear 30 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 SPL chiefs set to rule on Hearts wage delaysJan 4 2012The SPL will meet today to decide what action Hearts are to face over the ongoing wages crisis at Tynecastle.Incredibly, players are still awaiting their salaries for December after being forced to wait for the previous two months’ wages because of financial concerns at the Gorgie club.Owner Vladimir Romanov has put Hearts up for sale after declaring he has lost interest in football and has confessed cash-flow problems are at the root of the delays.Disgruntled players, after initially rejecting the idea, finally made a formal complaint over the issue to the SPL last month via the players’ union, PFA Scotland.The top-flight governing body discussed the problems at their board meeting on December 19 but delayed any decision until today, when a ‘sub-committee’ is scheduled to meet to “adjudicate on the complaint”.Hearts players had to wait 19 days for October’s salaries and 29 days for November’s wages. They are still awaiting last month’s money, which was due on December 16.Any ideas what action they can take ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudoloyal 0 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hearts appear to be holding off payment for as long as they think they can get away with it, then paying. They are in real trouble and the SPL need to act to stop there monsense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I would be shocked if the SPL actually did anything worthwhile. They'll probably give them another deadline instead of someing serious like a fine ( which would be ironic ) or a points deduction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MenHadADream 122 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The SPL will do virtually nothing, and anything they do will be vague and non-committal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss 1,941 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 They have indeed done nothing:- December wages must be paid by 11th Jan - plus interest- Hearts must pay the costs of today's hearing- January wages must be paid on 16th- or the SPL will take action Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,630 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hearts are more than fucking able to pay the wages, they're just refusing to until they're forced to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnbear 30 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 paid.Yep, paid up with the next ones due on the 16th.Had a look on kickback and those shitebags want to blame everyone except the mad bastard who is causing the problem.Here's a typical comment about Ryan Stevenson, for saying no pay no play...."get vlad to go and take a monster dump on the floor of the changing room, and make that snake clean it up infront of his team-mates. because by going to the press, thats exactly how he treated the rest of them, like crap. he should then be told to get back in his fancy ass motor and go home. services no longer needed. see out the rest of your contract sitting at home watching countdown. then bugger off and sign for somebody far far away" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
