The one thing that they did do wrong was the way they stopped league 1 and 2 and relegated on ppg. something i am wondering is if there is going to be a legal challenge from teams like tranmere If there is a legal challenge it will have been cheaper damages than a big hitter from the Prem' or champ'. I am almost certain they can afford a pay off to the L1 and L2. Edited July 26, 2020 by HMFC01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Sportscene already on the TV guides for Saturday night, advertising Craig Gordon as a pundit. It’s completely ludicrous that the situation is still pending. And if it’s still pending come next Saturday then what? League starts and we just carry on going through legal proceedings that are to determine whether or not we should be kept in the league that’s already started? At this rate I genuinely don’t expect any sort of conclusion next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzbomb Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 2 hours ago, Footballfirst said: That is a reasonable question, at least if no-one on the panel is of the standing of a judge. If, for example, a "solicitor" on the panel ruled that the Dundee vote could be lawfully changed, in the absence of a weight of precedents, then such a ruling could possibly be challenged at the CoS on the basis of an "error of law". If no panel member felt able to make such a call, and the decision was dependent on it, then it would make sense to seek a legal "opinion from a serving judge. I’ve thought from the start that if there is no precedent on the Dundee vote how can anyone pass judgement/rule on it other than a judge and he would have to create a precedent. And that would mean going back to a judge. 🤷🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree that we were fifty shades of shite this season and had the season run it's full course & we went down then so be it, fully deserved. We'll never know though with us improving slightly & QOS and Alloa both starting to signs of free fall. Arguably we have been a club that has, unlike Dunfermline and Dundee, lived within our means and that could partly explain why we were bottom in March. Happy to go quietly into the night into L1, but they will need to compensate us appropriately as the self interest and lack of any integrity will mean real people at the club will lose their jobs. Or they can reinstate us. Seems a no brainer but, like supporting the Jags, I'm hoping for the best this week but dreading the result.

Makes you wonder what their true agenda is by inviting him on - to snigger and embarass him for turning down the glorious 8.79 in a row club and joining the hated outcasts of Scottish football perhaps ?

The Gasman Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just curiosity, but I wonder what (if any) mandate the SPFL Executive have in circumstances like this? Assuming we win - will the Panel just make the call unilaterally on reinstatement / compensation, or will they ask for arguments / opinions on which to base their decision? If the SPFL lawyer fights against us getting reinstated, I can see a lot of Clubs being mightily pissed off at having to pay out compensation - especially those that did actually back us. Likewise, if the SPFL lawyer fights for us to be reinstated to save Clubs going under, the Calpol 3 are not going to be happy at all. The sensible option all along has been reconstruction, but do the SPFL have the right to agree to impose that against their members wishes?

Hearts probably employ more people than actually turn up to watch some of those clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
