or the second month running Hearts have failed to pay players on time.
Six players plus manager John McGlynn are believed to have missed out on their October salaries which were due today.
The SPL have been informed verbally about the situation after bringing in new rules that punish clubs that fail to meet their commitments.
Last season Hearts failed to pay their players on time on a number of occasions to the anger of a number of other clubs.
The Tynecastle club are viewed as one of the highest payers in Scotland but have been run erratically under the leadership of Vladimir Romanov.
There were threats of strike action from players last season with some players, notably Ian Black forced to take on work elsewhere with the midfielder doubling up as a painter and decorator.
Last term, three straight months of delayed player wages prompted an official complaint from the players, via union PFA Scotland, to the SPL, but action was averted in January after Hearts met the demands imposed.
That prompted the SPL to bring in legislation replacing the previous rules which required players to make a complaint before any action is taken.
Over the course of the calendar year it’s believed that the Hearts wage bill has been dramatically trimmed with most of the big earners that helped the club to lift the Scottish Cup moving on.
During the last transfer window David Templeton was sold to Sevco for a fee believed to be in the region of ÂŁ800,000.
Da sollte man auch mal endlich fĂĽr Ordnung sorgen.
