I genuinely don’t think many clubs would or could donate funds for this cause anyway. DU will just have to use their begging bowl to collect tears instead. at least that will prevent Celtic involvement It definitely looks that way, but these 'rules' appear to be more like guidelines just now. They don't trust the SPFL to win this fight is what I take from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4171 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Good statement from both clubs..this has always been us versus the Spfl..these clubs only named as they will be affected when we win.. I get the feeling the spfl and media are happy to play both parties against each other.. To ask clubs who they claim are at deaths door to fund this is laughable..wouldn't be surprised if one club from Glasgows east end back them though. 🇧🇪🇱🇻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graygo Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Similar to how the SPFL board acted by trying to get other clubs to join them in court against us. Proving prejudice to the panel should be a piece of piss. Edited July 10, 2020 by graygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot therefore let that pass without comment" Let them be in no doubt as to how Hearts see this. Well said. Let's hope the arbitration panel take it on board too.

Hagar the Horrible Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 If you remember Doncasters ill advised letter to call to arms all clubs to join in the Litigation against us, now DU are begging for money to assist their action AGAINST us. If these clubs donate, then at least not be cowardly about it, join the arbistration process, it will help pay our legal fees because if we win we get awarded costs. And you will be facing oblivion if it is a compensation settlement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My postie is a Raith fan and thinks that what has happened should not have because it was/is unfair. Ok. Dundee changing their vote and in the manner they did it was wrong. Ross County Chairman coming out with the “take their medicine” was wrong. Dundee Utd stating that they would not vote for reconstruction under any circumstances was wrong. Raith Rovers consistently voting against reconstruction, thereby leaving behind Falkirk, the team they lead by the slimmest of margins going by the PPG, was off the scale wrong. Championship clubs voting against reconstruction despite the situation that Partick Thistle found themselves in (one point behind with a game in hand) is off the scale x 1000 wrong. A significant number of Chairman making derogatory comments toward Hearts and Partick Thistle, and in particular a hugely negative narrative toward Ann Budge was/is wrong. Few Chairman/CEO’s - with the notable exception of Gary Deans - making any comment about how unfair the whole situation has been toward Hearts, Partick Thistle, Stranraer, and other clubs who were in strong play off positions, and Kelly Hears and Brora Rangers. Few Chairman pointing the finger - rightly - at the SPFL for being the architects of this debacle is wrong. The C3 perpetuating the rest of the world v Hearts/Partick Thistle is wrong. There is lots more but you get the point. The point that you make is correct. No real fans were involved in the decision making process of any of these events. Where your argument falls down is that very, very, few of these fans have made any attempt to make their feelings known in support of us. Viewing social media platforms, fans forums, newspaper websites, it is clear there is a very large number of vocal fans who are voicing their option on the matter. The opinion - in the main - is “feck them, they deserve it” particularly in relation to us. Strangely enough I have yet to look one fan of another team in the eye and have them tell me that. Many have said it shouldn’t have happened and is unfair to my face, only for me to read their real thoughts and hatred towards us on social media. My thought on this matter is simple. Only Hearts. I am of the opinion that we should make every effort to cause as much financial harm to those clubs who have shafted us as is humanly possible. By doing that the decision makers at these clubs will be able to have documentary evidence of the consequences of their self interest, it’s called a balance sheet, with tens of thousands of pounds missing from it feom games against Hearts. The majority of fans of these clubs have sat idly by and watched this debacle unfold.

Him and Lawwell presented a case to end the season, that they did not think would be challenged, They though they won when 13 clubs asked for an independent enquiry, which the rules should change that if 3 or more ask for it it should be granted without delay? I think the SPFL board know they dont have much of a case and need DU to justify their part as they can say they are acting on behalf of a member club in distress, that we are putting them through. IF DU pull out there is no mandate to fight it. By DU not being involved it is acceptance that they are happy for remaining in the championship, regardless of how they voice their objections in public. They have to voice it in court and that costs money, And the court still might not agree, and it will cost you twice as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranraer weighed up the costs and risks involved and decided they could not afford it. I would suggest that Dundee Utd, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers should have done the same. The alternative for Stranraer was to request funding from external sources or reduce themselves to laughing stock by begging for funds from other SPFL clubs. They had no external benefactor willing to subsidise them and as begging appears to be against the SPFL rules, they wisely avoided prostituting themselves. In any case, if we win, then I am certain that they way will not be adversely affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope it's the case that if any documents are not produced that it goes straight back to the CoS, and Lord Clark. Moynihan (QC for the Board) got slapped down at the CoS - I don't recall Lord C saying anything in agreement at his whining about the scope of the required documents, only that they should be made available on time. IMO they'll be asking for the legal opinion (on ending the season) as that sets out the intended strategy (which they appear to have followed to the letter). Granted, the document is in the public domain but Hearts don't have an official copy and it is marked "in confidence" . But that strategy clearly shows the SPFL Board never had any intention of going for recon although whether this is borne out in the Board minutes remains to be seen (although you'd expect Rangers will know all this and have been hopefully helping out as "whistleblower"). Failure to produce simply isn't an option - this is a matter of law now, no matter how the SPFL try to spin it (and they already tried that in the CoS).

JamboGraham Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 1 minute ago, JamboGraham said: I still don’t believe that any money ever actually changed hands and this was all bravado but interesting that they now need to confirm to the arbitration panel if it was (a) a lie and no funds were provided, (b) confirm that funds were provided and hope that the arbitration panel doesn’t agree with the Hearts/Partick view of this. Possible liar, possible rule break. Also (and apologies at quoting myself), but the fact that he states that they chose not to approach Inverness, and Falkirk have confirmed they didn’t approach them; then I would now be expecting our QC to challenge the fact that they (Calpol 3) were selective in who they approached. By being selective it would suggest that they (Calpol 3) are fully aware that not all clubs are in agreement with their case and therefore the club v club argument is weakened.

IMO they'll be asking for the legal opinion (on ending the season) as that sets out the intended strategy (which they appear to have followed to the letter). Granted, the document is in the public domain but Hearts don't have an official copy and it is marked "in confidence" . But that strategy clearly shows the SPFL Board never had any intention of going for recon although whether this is borne out in the Board minutes remains to be seen (although you'd expect Rangers will know all this and have been hopefully helping out as "whistleblower"). Failure to produce simply isn't an option - this is a matter of law now, no matter how the SPFL try to spin it (and they already tried that in the CoS). If I recall correctly what Lord Clark said about the documents, they were meant to be disclosed by Wednesday of this week, so Hearts/PT should already have access to them. We haven't seen the actual interlocutor (order) that Lord Clark issued to the parties, but I would be surprised if the document disclosure date was not specified.

I’ve been critical of Ethan Hunt, for the way he has spoken to some posters on here, but on this occasion he is bang on the cash. Dundee fans have been utter ***** about our situation, and it doesn’t take a lot of digging to find that out for yourself. All Dundee fans or just the arsehole ones?
