I thought he was an out and out Hearts man and if that's the case he'll back us no matter who is in charge. So we are just like the SPFL, things just go on and on and on and nothing changes for the better. I appreciate everything AB has done, but she must be held to account like the other board members for this mess. Budge has the personal connection with Anderson - without her he would not have pumped in his money! Listen I am as angry as anybody over Budge’s disasterous backing of Levein but the fact is we need her to help bankroll us out of what is a hellish financial situation before she hands over to the fans.

Francis Albert Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just now, WDJ87 said: Staunchly against joining the English League's and have stated that on here. Just a stupid idea imo. I didn't say you asked her to do all those things, did I? We wanted her to fight and she did. She made mistakes, agreed. You think she hasn't learned from them? The second we lose in court/arbitration, some section of the fans revert back to "it's all Ann's fault" and I seriously doubt would be saying that if we had won. Double down means shout louder, fight harder never forget and never let them forget what they've done to us. I don't believe putting money into my club is a bad thing. If you do fair enough. Where did I say putting money into my club is a bad thing? And shouting louder and all that is just empty rhetoric. Unless we have some silver bullet we haven't used to date. "They" won't want to forget what they've done to us. As the SPFL statement makes clear they want to celebrate what they have done to us and will welcome being reminded of it.

Silverwolf Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 18 minutes ago, wavydavy said:The way to change things is to fight them at their own game and the only way to do that is to challenge the Old Firm on the football park. The majority of the 42 clubs have shown over the years that they will not change in their support of all things Old Firm even when faced with an epidemic You might actually want to check your assumptions on the drop off of the fan base. I have attached a link which is one year out of date but that is due to the current season's figures not being available due to the season ending early. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48473238 Us being accepted into the English System at this point in time is an absurd idea if for no other reason than Covid 19. No harm in investigating the possibilty. I very much doubt they would want any team from Scotland entering their leagues. In the unlikely event that we were actually accepted then I think the other clubs along with the SFA and SPFL would just be saying good riddance. Not sure a rise of less than 1% in attendances is evidence of the rise in popularity of the game in Scotland. 41000 increase could be down to just certain fixtures occurring at certain grounds with larger support/capacities. The significance of the stats is also brought into question when you consider who is shouting about them being fantastic. A certain Mr Doncaster who will be demonstrating, by association, what a terrific job he is doing. i am looking at the longer term picture anyway. I suspect that I am older than you but remember much bigger numbers at all the clubs in the top league in Scotland. I realise that this was a time before the competition from other entertainments such as Xbox, and the seductions of the internet, however our nearest neighbour has managed to significantly grow their game in every aspect in the last 30 years. If we only had managed a fraction of that achievement our game would be in a better, more competitive place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4nny_ Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Response to Scottish FA Article 99 Arbitration: Determination – 27.07.20 Arbitral Tribunal: “The tribunal appointed in terms of Scottish Football Association Article 99 issued its decision today. It unanimously held that the challenges to the Written Resolution of 15 April 2020 failed, and that the SPFL were entitled to pass, and give effect to, the Written Resolution and all that flowed from it. Accordingly it refused to grant any of the orders sought by Heart of Midlothian FC and Partick Thistle FC and continued the arbitration for submissions about expenses.” Joint Statement by Heart of Midlothian FC and Partick Thistle FC: “As all Parties have been requested not to comment on the tribunal’s decision or reveal details of the hearings on the grounds of confidentiality, all we can only say is how disappointed and surprised we are at the outcome. “We don’t regret taking this action as it was the right thing for us to do. There were better ways to deal with ending the season, fairer ways other than putting the burden of a pandemic on to three clubs.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
