C4mmy31 Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Relegated Partick Thistle have stepped aside and will not pursue legal action against the SPFL to allow clubs access to a prize money release of £9.3million. Apparently any legal challenge to the SPFL vote, by 10am Friday, could block payments to clubs...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) I don't know why they can't just dish out the money equally to all teams. The vote should be thrown out after Dundee's antics. There's no way the whole thing is legitimate Edited April 16, 2020 by Pompey Exile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they been advised they might be saved by reconstruction of the leagues? I think there is a lot to play out in this farce Strange that they withdrew the threat of legal issues and so did hearts and Budgie gets on the task group. Smells fishy. Could be 11-1 vote may not be required as this is not normal circumstances. It’s Scottish football so nothing will surprise me. What would Pess me off would be temporary reconstruction. If it’s not at least 5 years they can get tae. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did also say that a legal challenge would have been very expensive and the money would be better used to keep the club going during the crisis... so some morals certainly, but some self preservation as well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Murky waters here. Any restructure should be from an independent committee. Too many folk putting their opinion in who don’t and never have had the best interests of Scottish football at heart. Who could oversee it I don’t know I don’t trust Budge at all. It was IMO evident early on in the shutdown she was searching for loopholes to strengthen Hearts position and shaft their own staff. Given what she’s ruled over at a Hearts why do we want her involved in restructuring the leagues. Throw money at something then piss it up against the wall is not a viable format. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAG Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 If the do a restructure, the financial viability of clubs must bear taken into account, if there's to be a longer shutdown. Heartz not the club to be leading the review for that very reason, especially the recent history of admin in Gorgie. Can't have clubs voting for a bigger league to stay in business, then fold and leave a bigger league without the teams to play in it. Or worse still (and highly likely IMO) starting the season with half the clubs in the SPL, on -10 points, due to an admin event. My guess is a few 'big names' will be in the bottom tier when we start again and not for 'footballing ability' reasons. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 The list of people involved in looking at restructure. As far as I can see there is one football person in there in Davie MacKinnon. A few who are obviously full of self interest and some very new names. Id have liked to see a few independent bodies in there. A couple of former players and managers. Maybe even someone with a media background 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby_Doo Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I'm not so sure the discussions of morals with regards to this sits well. The SPL was formed in the late nineties to make sure the top clubs got most of the money. We were part of that. The SPFL was formed to accommodate Sevco Scotland Ltd, to make sure their money didn’t disappear from the league. The playoffs were introduced, and set up to favour the Premiership club. We were part of that. We shouldn't throw stones from our glass house. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee_Eck1979 Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Unfair on Patrick, they have a game in hand and if they won it then they would be out of the relegation spot. The championship is that tight at the bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktid1869 Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I seriously can't believe Budge is chairing the reconstruction committee, if that's not a conflict of interest then what is? The whole thing stinks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think their game in hand was away to Inverness so unlikely 3 points, but not impossible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
