Jodami Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 I suspect that the cuts they are asking players to take will include what they have deferred already so the revised wages are backdated. 42 years on and Peru giving Scotland the dry boaby again. Quote

Guest Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 As funny as it is to laugh at them, this is actually good news for Hibs, not bad. Everyone knows deferring wages is not the answer and they are now taking steps to address that. It might be later than us, but its still a prudent financial move. Quote

What’s to stop us now implementing them. I think the way rel clauses work is that the club can reduce wages by a certain amount and the player has the take it or leave it choice. In current climate though who is signing players (from Scottish football)? Quote

Kiwidoug Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 I hope this interdict thingy stuffs them up royally. Absolutely fantastic if it delays the start of the premier league for months on end followed by the awarding of massive compo to Partick and us. I expect of course that the rancid SPFL would have backed down at some point and something like the 14 team league would be confirmed. Quote
