By voting against they have said that it should be an either or so if the arbitration panel side with us, they really can't grumble as they have said that there should be no reconstruction. I think their voting against Reconstruction will hurt them at the Arbitration. What happened with reconstruction will be considered by the panel.

I was in favour of 14-10-10-10, but knew it had no chance of getting passed after that suspiciously well informed letter. You were asking a lot of clubs to take a serious financial hit, and though I doubt it would have passed anyway, that kyboshed any chances of it. You might say Leslie Deans wasn't representing the club, but it matched exactly what the club ended up doing, and I'm sure the club chairmen took it as such. You ask a lot of questions, why not try to give an answer to some of these points : Maxwell SFA and Dungcaster SPFL write to UEFA saying Scottish season is ending 6 days BEFORE a vote is even announced. The lie of only one viable option to end season TV money and prize money can only be issued with an end of season Cormack changes Aberdeen vote from no to yes after Dungcaster telling him the resolution has failed. Good Friday 16:48 Dundee email vote Nelms and Dungcaster phone calls Friday afternoon and evening Nelms negotiations with Partick and Stranraer to take prize money from Dundee Utd and Raith Rovers to ‘accept’ relegation Nelms arranging ‘big name’ friendlies and that is only some of the recent shenanigans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs hiding behind a flawed, underhand, voting process and using it to take some kind of moral high ground? There needs to be good ethics and morals before you get to a piece of paper and a vote.

What was wrong if Aberdeen were told their vote didn't matter? It didn't as there would still have been the required Yes vote in the Premiership section had they voted No. The Dundee vote only affected the Championship section. 3. With proper training only being allowed by the Scottish Government last week, and the earliest BCD games can start is August 1st, and with barely enough free dates available for the fixtures, when could the 19/10 season have been played to a finish? 4. Does anybody think Leslie Deans open letter threatening bankruptcy to the other SPFL clubs 2 days before the 14-10-10-10 vote helped your cause? Thats four questions you imbecile!

Hearts do not want to damage these clubs but the original sin was that of the SPFL Board. The narrative being played out is now make it a club v club war. And that suits the Board. 'The more clubs against Hearts and Thistle the better'. I’m sure there is a previous statement from AB not that long ago mentioning it was not our intention to aim to get the 3 teams brought relegated. However, that narrative has been completely ignored by weegia / all other clubs / officials etc.....I think keeping quiet is our best bet otherwise we would be issuing statements all over the place after every arse wipe makes a comment.

This is exactly the reason why nobody took Doncaster up on his kind offer as it might cost them big bucks. Now Dundee Utd, Raith and Cove asking the rest of the SPFL clubs to take the same risk again - the risk not one of them took up for the court case. They have made their beds now they can lie in them.

Diadora Van Basten Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 2 hours ago, Heartsmad1874 said: https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/news/6503/CLUB-STATEMENT.html?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=dundeeunitedfc On the day that the SPFL have released the Premiership fixture list for 2020/21, which is scheduled to start on 1st August, instead of looking forward and planning for the forthcoming season, the executive team and Board at the Club are embroiled in preparation work for the SFA arbitration process that starts this week in respect of the action raised by Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle. As confirmed in our joint statement on Friday, we, along with Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, were pleased with Lord Clark’s decision to refer the dispute to arbitration, however we remain incensed that we are having to devote considerable time and incur significant legal costs in defending this action. Together we have already incurred costs of over £50,000, and face further legal fees for the arbitration process that could take the total bill to over £150,000. Given the serious financial implications of these escalating legal costs for Raith Rovers, Cove Rangers and ourselves, the three clubs have considered withdrawing from the arbitration process and allowing the expert panel of arbiters to judge the case raised by Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle without any submissions from us in defence of our case. However, we believe (and our external legal advisors have confirmed same) that there is too much at stake to not defend our position against the Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle petition, which is seeking to reverse a decision that was made by 81% of the SPFL member clubs. If successful in their action, in our opinion Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle would compromise the sporting integrity of the SPFL with clubs having been declared champions of their league not being promoted. Having won the Championship by a considerable margin, and invested substantial sums of money in preparing for next season in the Premiership, a decision to overturn the SPFL resolution that was supported by 34 of the 42 member clubs would be ruinous for us and our fans. Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle could also be awarded significant sums in terms of compensation. Their compensation claim is for a total of £10 million. For the SPFL and its member clubs this would have potentially catastrophic consequences, with any compensation payment made to Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle being paid directly out of SPFL funds that are distributed to all clubs each season as prize money. It is with these factors in mind, that, along with Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, we are reaching out to our fellow member clubs for support in defending this action, which has not only potentially grave consequences for us, but every SPFL club. We also intend running a crowdfunding campaign to raise money to help fund the huge legal bills that we face. We hope that as well as our own supporters, fans of clubs across Scotland will see this as a worthy cause to get behind in that if Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle are successful in their action it could have serious ramifications for the whole of Scottish football. They didn’t want arbitration they wanted the case thrown out. They lost and that’s why they incurred legal fees. The 81% is a nonsense clubs were voting to receive end of season payments. It is to tremendous credit that Inverness voted no as they thought it was unfair when a yes vote meant they would receive £200k within a week. Clubs were told that if they voted no they would have to wait until September for their money at a time when they had no income and had to continue paying wages and overheads. Dundee United May have won the Championship by a significant margin but Hearts and Partick were not relegated by a significant margin and you rejected a do no harm option which would have seen you promoted and Hearts and Partick not relegated. The claim of £10 million is to cover the teams losses and is catastrophic for 2 teams to pay rather than 42 teams. Finally the dispute is between the SpFl and Hearts and Partick Thistle you are an irrelevant sideshow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, Hearts and Partick only have a case, that Lord Clark deemed must be answered, because they had an undeniable right to their place in the leagues they had participated in throughout the season, and that right remained until the rules were changed by a vote carried out in very questionable circumstances.

Should we just end the league after 30 games now because the team bottom at that time has no chance of escaping it (according to Pie and Bovril and social media)? Why bother playing on? PS: What about Partick Thistle? Can't be ersed to quote the erse in question but Hearts were certainly NOT the worst team in the league. They may have been in last place in the top division of the league, but Brechin City who, incidentally, have a representative on the SPFL board were by far the worst team in the league.
