But the club agreed to abide by the league rules. Would an administrator sanction a legal move given the costs involved? I don't think so. Remember, these guys are prospective owners and have no sway over the clubs position at the moment.
When the appeal is made I assume they need to "add value" to their original case? What on earth are they going to bring to the table now that they couldn't do last week other than a growing contempt from the other clubs getting fucked about?
What can Massolini realistically expect to walk away with by being stubborn? He wouldn't contemplate hanging about to get involved in some new club after putting "all that money" into the now limp, cooling corpse?
I'll tell you something, If it ever gets to the point where St Johnstone are on the brink of the abyss and some mouth-breathing Coagies come on here to antagonise the pitiful situation, I will shoot myself.
That's a promise.
