I know there were some quotes on this earlier but I am honestly not buying this story. Clubs donating cash they don’t have to fund legal reps for 3 clubs for a fight that they (the calpol 3) aren’t even fully taking part in...I think it’s a nice story to suggest that it’s 39 against 2+1 but I don’t believe a single penny will ever change hands... If they (calpol 3) have funds available they would be better building up a fund to battle the SPFL should we end up winning this thing!

No, all clubs, other than a few obvious exceptions. I have a feeling that they will not have approached Falkirk, given that they were possibly the most shafted, given they were only 1 point behind RR and still had a home game against them.

NANOJAMBO Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 1 hour ago, AllyjamboDerbyshire said: In truth, I am sure that is the most likely answer to the why? but I still doubt there was ever any real enthusiasm within the board of the SPFL to do very much about reconstruction, other than to pay lip service to the idea. Hopefully the result of arbitration will see them rue the day they forgot to adhere to the most important requirement of their deliberations - do no harm! Wouldn't it be quite a shock to the SPFL system if it was to come out that keeping 'null and void' off the table was the only 'no harm' they were ever going to 'do'! AB will get a clearer picture when she gets access to the Board minutes because it's crystal clear from the legal advice that recon would only be considered (if it's to be considered at all) AFTER the vote to end the season and the relegation vote was passed. It remains to be seen how dilligently they followed the legal advice or did ever actually consider recon. I don't think it's a coincidence Moynihan was getting very agitated in the CoS and tried hard to dismiss Hearts' claim for the release of docs as , amongst other things, not relevant. Clearly Lord C thinks there are things to be seen in the docs requested that are very relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Darkblue said: Your guess is good as mine. Possible reasons... 1. Nelms wants to ingratiate himself with important people 2. Nelms wants a place on the SPFL board for egotistical reasons or to promote Dundee's profile 3. Nelms sees a benefit to supporting Celtic, possibly though loan players 4. Nelms doesn't really know what he's doing and is just reacting to persuasive texts, phone calls 5. Nelms thought that the U-turn would turn the reconstruction conversation into something a little more serious Who knows? Maybe lots of factors were at play. So does no one at Dundee actually know what prompted his 180 degree turnaround? He's absolutely poisoned his own reputation and tarnished your clubs name. (Thats not a dig at Dundee as a club btw) He entered into a gentlemans agreement with Partick and ICT to vote a certain way to ensure a block on the vote and then went back on his word punishing Partick in possibly the harshest way. How can anyone trust a guy that does that? Obviously the fans haven't done anything wrong, but what Nelms has done is snakey in the extreme and he's delusional if he thinks he can get on the board. Irrespective of what side of the debate your on, I don't think anyone wants someone so naive/pliable/sycophantic and untrustworthy making decisions which can impact every club. Maybe its a cultural thing, but my understanding is when you say you're going to do something you bloody well do it. His reputation is mud, and I sincerely hope we refuse to do business with you guys until that clown is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmaroon Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 We shouldn't be surprised by the hysteria. When someone knows deep down that they are morally and ethically wrong and refuses to accept it, they deflect it all onto someone/something else and, what is really morally and ethically sound is ridiculed and abused. We should not be surprised also that people fall for their narrative, after all there are actually some people who think Boris is a good Prime Minister.

Diadora Van Basten Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 It’s interesting reading Dark Blues tonight. I went onto Pie and Bovril the other night as I thought it would be interesting to speak with fans of other clubs and try and persuade them that what has happened is not right. Instead I just got replies about Albert Kidd and it was obvious that I was wasting my time. I think the most telling thing is the clubs won’t give Doncaster the powers he requires as none of them fancy ending up being in the same position that we find ourselves in.
