ANN BUDGE has continued her tirade against the SPFL even though she’s been asked to head up a task force on league reconstruction.
The Hearts owner is raging her club is in the firing line for the drop should the SPFL be unable to restart.
The proposal was voted through on by the overwhelming majority of clubs but Budge believes nearly everyone had a problem with the relegation side of things.
The problem with this is -— had Hearts not been bottom of the league, Budge would have more than likely voted with the SPFL.
It’s an unfortunate scenario but she has the opportunity to try and effect change and put a reconstruction proposal to clubs before the start of next season.
Instead, Budge has doubled down and has again questioned why Celtic could be named champions without playing 38 games.
“I don’t think many people had a problem with promotion, with the obvious exception – or probably exception – of Rangers.” Budge told RecordSport.
“But almost everyone had a problem with relegating clubs in the middle of what is an absolutely awful experience for all of us, globally.
“My biggest argument is let’s find the fairest way possible to address the situation.
“That means people shouldn’t be penalised. Nobody gains from relegation. Nobody gains at all. Clubs just lose, on top of everything else that they’re suffering.
“It’s clearly an impossible situation. But clearly some of the rules were changed.
“You shouldn’t be awarded a title if you haven’t played 38 games.
“You shouldn’t be relegated if you haven’t played 38 games. And all sorts of other things in between.”
The rant specifically misses the mark on what’s going on in the world and how things are unfolding. Budge would be best taking a breath and trying to move forward without this nonsense.
