Summary

Hearts reached the Play Off Round of the Europa League[1] and the third round of the League Cup.[2]

Financial problems

The club began experiencing severe financial problems in November 2011 which meant they were unable to pay the players wages[3] and the club was put up for sale.[4] The squad's October salaries were late and the November wages were paid twenty nine days late just one day before their December salaries were due.[5] The december pay has failed to arrive,[6] and a complaint was lodged with the Scottish Premier League by the players union.[7] During this period the club advised fringe players they were free to leave the club.[8] On 4 January 2012 the SPL ordered Hearts to pay all outstanding wages by 11 January 2012 and January's wages must be paid on time on 16 January.[9] Hearts paid all outstanding wages that day following the sale of Eggert Jónsson to Wolves.[10] On 17 January the day after Hearts wages were due to be paid it was revealed all players had been paid.[11] Despite this the SPL issued a statement saying Hearts had failed to pay all players on 16 January and an emergency board meeting had been called,[12] Hearts refuted this saying payment of the remuneration had been made to all players.[13] Hearts were charged by the SPL with with failing to behave with the utmost good faith to the SPL.[14] A hearing of the SPL Board sub-committee was held on 27 January,[15] and the case against the club was dismissed as they believed the club were acting in good faith.[16]

Pre-season

Hearts returned for pre-season training on 22 June,[17] before travelling to Il Ciocco in Tuscany for a week at their pre-season camp.[18] Hearts returned to Scotland to play East Fife before travelling to Berlin to take on Ludwigsfelder and Union Berlin.[19] Once back in Scotland they completed their pre-season taking on Cowdenbeath and Livingston before a glamour friendly at Tynecastle against Royal Antwerp,[20] to contest for the Tynecastle 125th anniversary trophy.[21]
