Hearts players threaten to leave if they don’t get paid
They have given a deadline of 14 January, claiming that if the long-running issue is not sorted out by that date, they will walk away from the Tynecastle side.
The players’ wages for October arrived 19 days late, and since then they have received just £1,000 of their November sum.

“We are almost at the stage that we would probably prefer not to get that wage on time, because then we could walk away on January 14, and find ourselves new clubs and Hearts wouldn’t get a penny,” said one player, who did not want to be named.
