If it is right to try to save a pie factory, it is right to try to preserve Hearts FC

AS a lifelong Heart of Midlothian supporter, I was touched by the sentiments expressed, and the closing words, "C'mon the Jambos !" in your leader ("Give football fans more say in the running of their clubs", The Herald, November 9).

I take issue with David J Crawford (Letters, November 9), who has I fear entirely misunderstood what the Scottish Government proposes.

There had been no mention of a "bail out" as he puts it, all that has been said is that representations will be made to HMRC to stay their hand for a little while to give this famous old club a chance to get its house in order.
