As a result of their technically being no ‘no’ votes, they’ll push it through (all imo of course). hibs will look for what's best for there club. the loss of two home games against Hearts and £120,000 gates will of concern... maybe not what Hibs supports want but what's best for the club form a financial point of view....... if someone can point to a link where hibs board have said there against, as I have yet to see one... it makes sense for hibs to back reconstruction if only from a financial position, there would also be TV cash for any Hearts v Hibs games....

jamboinglasgow Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 9 minutes ago, TheBigO said: Frankly, if Doncaster tells the dissenting Prem teams that Hearts are going for an interdict and have 50/50 chance of getting it, maybe Lawell backs him up, how could anyone still stand? When the only reason seems to be "we dinny like Hearts/ICT" And as others have said, if it fails by one overall vote, surely it'll be pushed thru... Yup, it is clear that Doncaster needs to tell them that "it helps your rivals" doesn't work in a court as reasonable reason to dismiss reconstruction and make teams suffer. Doubt the SPFL can do this, but would love if Doncaster told Hibs and County that if they are the only teams stopping reconstruction and the SPFL lose the case and have to pay out all the money, the SPFL will look to recover that money from those two.

jamboinglasgow Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I do wonder if the SPFL has cut a deal with the championship clubs to provide them with more money this coming season, which suspect the Championship were using their position as blocking reconstruction to get.

Doncaster said he talk with Aberdeen over the weekend and try and talk them round... at the moment three clubs have said there against. Hamilton, Ross and Aberdeen... I think the other 9 are for or could be persuaded to vote for.... Hamilton said they wanted permanent recon bug not temporary so I’d imagine they will support this. Aberdeen said the opposite.

A voted-for shortened Championship season only strengthens our hand which has now been confirmed, so maybe they now have no choice to back reconstruction.

I'd take it with a ladle of salt As I said earlier, we should start legal proceedings tomorrow regardless of the result of the indicative vote and advise the SPL we have done this as a "protective" measure due to time constraints. That counters any effort to kick the can down the road until it's too late. If the final vote goes in our favour, we terminate the court action and everyone's a winner.
