Hearts have been charged with 'failing to behave with the utmost good faith' by the Scottish Premier League.   The club is furious at this new charge and is contemplating legal action against the league.


Hearts was supposed to pay player wages on schedule on 16 January.   The transfers were made that day, but not all of them arrived before midnight giving the league the technical grounds to bring a charge.


Controversial owner Vladimirr Romanov has suggested that he may stay at the club after all.  Of course it may be that he has no other option as no potential buyers have come forward.  This is not surprising given that the club has debts of £30m and the main stand needs attention.
