The recent hypocrisy of Hearts is making sympathy for the Tynecastle club’s fight against relegation rapidly erode away. Yet, at the same time, Hearts are trying to prevent title winners Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers’ rightful promotion. Hearts had hoped to avoid relegation via reconstruction, but once the 14-10-10-10 proposal was rejected they have chosen the legal route. Of all the proposals, 14-10-10-10 could have worked as no club would be relegated and title winners would go up. While throwing Scottish football into chaos to fight against relegation, Hearts also ditched Daniel Stendel by activating a relegation clause in his contract.
