Dear Sir/Madam,

TEAM RATIONALISATION

I really do not see what the fuss is anent the possibly bankruptcy of Heart of Midlothian Football Club.

In this day and age, surely no Scottish city needs to have more than one football team? A merger between Hibernean and Hearts would do much to promote the Scottish Government’s anti-Sectarian agenda. And it would also allow either the Gorgie or Easter Road stadia to be re-developed for much needed social housing.

A move like this in Edinburgh could show the way to Scotland’s second city and encourage Glasgow to follow a similar approach with Celtic, Rangers and Partick Thistle – not all of whom are even currently active in top league football.

  1. what planet is this guy from? how can he say that in this day and age the city doesn’t need two clubs and there should be a merger
    think back to the early 80’s pal, Wallace Mercer tried to pull this stunt at a great cost, it was the only time that hibee’s and jambos stood together and got that idea kicked into touch
