NaturalOrder74 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Unbelievable that prick Doncaster’s sitting in a half a million salary whilst all the clubs who he’s meant to serve are sitting throwing cash about into financial ruin because he’s not capable of doing his job properly a possible outcome of all this is forced reconstruction that could have been processed at stage one but every clubs left worse off financially as a result, the early payments of the initial vote scam is flushed away already and he’s sitting getting paid an absolute fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south morocco Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 2 minutes ago, Locky said: Option 3 is the answer to all the SPFL's prayers in making this all just disappear. Of course compo would be great for the club, but ultimately all I want is justice to be served, and justice is preserving our top flight status. We all know the clubs (the only club who sadly matter in the eyes of many) won't opt for option 1 at all, nor can they afford option 2. There is only 2 potential outcomes here for me. Either our case is completely dismissed, which I personally can't see, or option 3 has to be pushed through. There would be some creases to iron out if option 3 goes ahead, but ultimately it could be worked out. Is it not the tribunal who will decide what course of action to take, not the spfl?

Happy to be corrected. So the thing that we hope is going to win the day, over the SPFL, is that the documents and records will be perused by the panel of 3, which if I read correctly, seemed to be a concern for the SPFL QC. Other that that, this arbitration will be as would have been done by the SFA in the first place, without the need for the court case.

I think it was all about the sky contract for the upcoming season. I think it stipulates start of season from 1st August. As they were being told at one point there may be no football before then they decided to rush into a decision. This sky deal is apparently all that matters (ND on 90k bonus when it comes in, just saying like) That’s kind of the official line and I think that’s the narrative coming from SPFL. ND’s assertion that cash couldn’t be released to clubs unless they declared the season over in April (when clubs were on their knees) was absolute bull. And the club that benefitted most from that decision? You got it!! The fact that 8 football matches could have been squeezed into 3-4 weeks doesn’t seem to have mattered, they just had to decide in April what to do. 🤡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was prejudicial against these member clubs then the SPFL will have to decide whether to reinstate or pay compensation. You might be right. However I’d find that a bit odd. The panel rule that the SPFL were unfair and prejudicial in relegating Hearts BUT then allow the guilty party (SPFL) to determine their own remedy / sentence! But then of course the panel might allow the wronged party’s to select the resolution! And Hearts decide that they will take both reinstatement and compensation!

Boyces beard Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Question: Are Waasland-Beveren responsible for the global pandemic that is Covid-19 Answer: No Summary: So no clubs will be punished just as no clubs will be rewarded in such a scenario. Im hoping thats how simple it was for the Court Of Arbitration for Sport in Belgium to make a decision. I know the circumstances differ but surely as we are not responsible for what has happened, the SPFL are not acting in the best interest of its member clubs and are there for showing undue prejudice by punishing three member clubs while rewarding another three member clubs all of whom are members of that very same organisation. It's hard to believe they can get away with this unless it is indeed Hearts, Partick and Stranraer that are responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic.

graygo Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 For reference here's the bit in Lord Clark's report about the make up of the panel. [20] In terms of the Article 99.19 of the SFA’s articles of association, the arbitral tribunal (“the Tribunal”) may consist of three arbitrators. One of the provisions states that, if so, each party shall nominate an individual from the Tribunal Candidate List as its arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint a third arbitrator who shall be or has been a solicitor or advocate or member of the judiciary (Sheriff Court or Court of Session) of not less than 10 years’ standing (including cumulatively in a combination of the said functions) and who shall act as chairman of the Tribunal (“the Tribunal Chairman”). Accordingly, theSFA will not judge the issue in the arbitration. The independent arbitral tribunal will be presided over by an experienced lawyer or member of the judiciary. The arbitral tribunal is able to require evidence from witnesses and if required, in terms of rule 45 of the Scottish Arbitration Rules, the court can make appropriate orders in that regard.
