Beast Boy Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 28 minutes ago, TheBigO said: Reconstruction, bud. Dream scenario, we're in the Prem, spend a bit, have a great season. That would noise other supports right up. At the same time as recon, heads need to roll though. And then there needs to be structural change in the governance of our game. No longer can a team with 200 supporters effect the lives of employees at professional clubs I just can’t see how your last paragraph could come about, without court action though. They will just crawl back under their rocks and dig a deeper hole to hide in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Striker Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Kenbo said: Court for me because if it's reconstruction then I would feel like we have accepted our fate and only stayed up by default. We have been wronged and I would rather it be made right. Sorry - but that's not true. Ann's efforts and the threat of our court action (plus the Belgian and French court cases) have shown that we will not accept what the SPFL have done, and there is now considerable pressure on them to rectify the wrong by forcing through a reconstruction ...... before we get a court to do it.

Lone Striker Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) 35 minutes ago, Cruyff said: It's not the main issue really. The main issue is the loss of revenue from demotion. If they had compensated us to the tune of £3million quid or whatever it is we expect to lose, then we could have accepted playing in the Championship next season. We'd be down there for a season, big deal. It's primarily about the money. Reconstruction is only on the cards for us because we haven't been compensated and we don't know if a Championship season can take place as normal. Really ? Why would we accept being forcibly ejected from the Premiership on a very dodgy vote by our competitors, if they bunged us £3m ? To me, that would be even more corrupt. As you say. there may not even be a Championship to play a full season in anyway. Edited June 9, 2020 by Lone Striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Torn but ultimately reconstruction would avoid unnecessary delays. however court may well be the likely outcome due to the incompetence and bile that has came from the SPFL and 95% of its member clubs.

Bellion Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Reconstruction is the better outcome IMO.

Tokyo Drifter Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Reconstruction is the fairest option, though I would rather the SPFL had been the ones who innovated and implemented it rather than us being the party which insisted it be put on the table. If reconstruction is given the thumbs up - now looking increasingly unlikely, admittedly - the fact that we pushed for it will always be used against us. Besides, I don't think we'd win a legal battle - though I'd love it if the Premiership was unable to kick off because the case was ongoing. However I do think we need to salvage some honour and just accept a season in the Championship. Everyone knows we've been hard done by, and that way we retain some respect in the eyes of the other clubs. And remember: we've been rank rotten all season.

Lone Striker Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 4 minutes ago, Cruyff said: Because we were shite mate. Simple as that. Yes we were, but that's irrelevant. Normal sporting integrity to determine who gets relegated/promoted was unable to continue after March 23rd. These decisions were taken on a dodgy vote by other clubs, where each club's vote was highly influenced by their need to get prize money paid out to them. Totally outrageous to financially damage anyone on that basis. We deserved to be last and that's why we've ended up in this position. We deserved to be last as at 23rd March - yes - see above. One season in the Championship without loss of revenue wouldn't be the end of the world would it? Might even be a good thing. It would take a court case to try to ensure we don't suffer a loss of revenue in Championship. Otherwise, we will suffer a huge loss in revenue. Get to blood youngsters, bring back the feelgood factor, get to hurt Championship teams in the pocket, good chance to reset and sort out the mess within the club. Then come back up next season without losing a penny. I wouldn't be betting any money on that - would you ? I think you're underestimating the shock which the club is undergoing. The way the clubs going and being run at the moment , we might get relegated next season anyway. It's possible - yes - so the HMFC board and football manager/coaches/scouts need to massively improve, regardless of which league we're in. So the main thing here is the money or, the loss of money.

Two leagues of 16/18/20 teams I don't care, just ditch the split, ditch playing 4 times a season. If not court and and cause at least 10 clubs to go bust.

primrose Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I think the time has come to shit or get off the pot, Reconstruct or Reimburse. I do not think reconstruction will happen so we should be going to court to make sure that they cover our losses. 15% of the prize money = £3.73m. £3m to HMFC £500k to Thistle £230K to Stranraer Lets see if the money focuses the mind on doing what is right rather than doing what is easy. Here is what each club would have to cough up to cover the 15%. To make it simple I have included all the clubs, even the 3 that have been wrongly demoted.

Deevers Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Court would be my preferred choice. I want to make sure this sort of thing never ever happens again.

No one is guaranteed to win any case in court but on the balance of probability I strongly fancy our chances. However, I don't think it will get that far because (in no particular order) 1. The SPFL will not want The Dundee vote brought up in open court. Imagine Donkey being cross examined trying to persuade a judge.. 2, They organised a review in secret and, lo and behold, it found they had done no wrong. Well I never! 3. The French and Belgian cases strengthen our hand. 4. The SPFL have a duty of care to all clubs and distinctly failed with us, Stranraer and particularly Partick. They left 3 clubs stranded to bear the pain caused by Covid 19 with no hint of compensation. 5. They tried to scare Hearts into forgetting about a legal case as the costs would fall on the rest of the clubs ie the same clubs who sought to sink us.

chrisyboy7 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I just don't het why people want court more than reconstruction lol. Are we just as bitter as the rest of the tin pot clubs....I hope not. We should be playing in the top league as legally cant be demoted but if we are then fine. Then we can seek compensation like any other business that feels it's been mistreated. Reconstruction 100% but I feel it's not going to happen. To many clubs simply dont like us and I've no idea why Also why do the small clubs that are basically part ti.e gave a say on what the bigger more professional clubs do? Makes no sence.

Werner Herzog Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 A bit of both. If the French & Belgian courts have deemed relegation unlawful in their respective countries, we need to try & do the same. Forcing the SPFL's hand into reconstruction of 14/10/10/10 seems the most sensible & least destructive option. I do worry though that the ludicrous voting structure might harm the legal case though.

Is that isn’t the full shilling and isn’t a hibs supporter? Can you pick the sentence below that indicated something was done: 1. I did nothing. 2. I didn’t do anything. 3. I didn’t do nothing.
