Fudger Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 In what other walk of life would a 12 member club or body need an 11-1 majority to vote through any changes. It almost gets forgotten about and accepted at times but it is utterly ludicrous. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a judicial review Hearts would benefit from the other “interested parties” being named on any challenge as it would add weight if they do have a case that all those in the same position are challenging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 So what's the bottom line if Hearts and Thistle win this ? Hearts and Thistle's relegation annulled, 14-10-10-10 introduced as the only way to solve the problem, and the season delayed until the court case has been heard ? Only good thing would be Doncaster being removed for mishandling the whole shambles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they somehow win , which still feel is a long shot....plus the legal process could take a considerable time ....and expense Probable only victory would be n terms of compensation payments .....cannot see it delaying season or forcing any league structure changes ....

I think financial compensation in the form of a substantial parachute payment is the most likely outcome. I don't see how the courts can force the SPFL to finish the season if a new one has started and as has been pointed out other clubs will take them to court if the season is declared void. Basically the SPFL has handled the whole thing badly. What a shocker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no case to put, and seem to be taking legal advice from a crooked estate agent. Tinpot.

Only problem with that is that the, clubs including the Diet H**S, Thistle and Stranraer voted to end the season. But my thoughts on this embarrassment is this, so Thistle all sudden get funding from where ?. One being the late Tom Weirs family, old Budge herself or who else has a score to settle mmmmmm aye the full blown H**S. They have already been slapped down. If Doncaster lost this he would be gone, so by backing thistle anonymously they have lots to gain and remain in the background. I reckon they will lose, but in taking this to court could have implications on the start of the league, and remember the player's are now back, so cannot be furloughed again.

Mikastar Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Lest we forget The SPFL pulled a fast one to save Motherwell from relegation over the one promoted side Falkirk coming up from league 1 back in 2003...... Had to do with Falkirk not having an all seater stadium and wanted to groundshare with Airdrie while one was built. On top of that Motherwell also entered administration for a couple of breaches, but those are still under some carpet In the SPFL somewhere. Basically the SPFL normally get there own way, but this time, naw! There may be trouble ahead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc_superteam Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 As much as I don't care for either Hearts or Partick, relegating them is a scandalous decision. The whole point of sport is to make it is fair as possible. If the league can't be completed you cannot relegate or indeed promote a team. For example supposing the league was binned after 5 games and we were bottom but we had played Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs and Motherwell but St Mirren had played Hamilton, St Johnstone, Ross County, Livi and Hearts and had one point more. Even though we are further into the league the same principle still applys ..not every team has played every team the same amount of times so how can you compare this. I actually hope that Hearts and Thistle win their legal challenge as it is morally wrong what is happening. -12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 As predicted this is just going to go on and on and on and on until it is agreed that Hearts have not , in fact, been relegated. Despite being absolute dung and finishing bottom. If SevCo can use it as an opportunity to have the season made null and void so that Sellick didny win they will certaily do all within their power to do that as well. Shocking self interest meets shocking incompetence - kind of like Terminator vs Aliens but more s**t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the championship season isn’t going to start until October that easily gives enough time to play the 8 or 9 games and the play offs to determine who is relegated. Just scrap the league cup for a season which I’m sure must be going to happen anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be finishing the season with about half the teams that started it. Ending the league allowed the full 7 million to be paid out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I agree with is that change to needed at the top, the sorry chapter started with the Dundee vote, and went rapidly downhill. Either way Doncaster has overseen the Mess ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
