    There was an independent investigation in to the vote stuff. They found that Dundee did nothing wrong.

    By the SPFL rules Dundee did nothing wrong.

    What is the legal challenge to what Dundee did?

    Partick's QC's advice was that was the league did not follow it's own voting procedures in that there was not a provision for a vote being changed after it was cast in the league rules.

    So per the report that the SFA may heavily sanction Hearts over any potential move for legal action against the SPFL, I did a wee bit of digging. Per the SFA's Judicial Panel Protocol, the bit in red is the rule in which Hearts would be breaking, and the bit in blue are the potential sanctions.

    More specifically, the provisions in which Hearts would be breaking are outlined in Statute 59.3 of the FIFA Statutes:

    Neither the French or the Dutch clubs went through CAS - they just went through their national court system. The Dutch court opted for no relegation.

    With a huge backlog of civil and criminal cases caused by the pandemic, exactly when would a case like this ever get to court? Rhetorical question of course.

    Not an answer to your rhetorical question, obviously, but I do agree - there could be quite a bit of time between an injunction going in and an Edinburgh court hearing the case.

    Too bad she hadn't been paying last season's top team squad the national living wage, even though most didn't deserve that much. Hearts wouldn't be such a financial basket today.

    Sorry to post a lot of links today, but have your club made any inroads into this?

    Lol.  Up until "One of her other moves, and a high-profile one, was to introduce the national living wage. "

    Hibs did the same, quietly, without the need for Hearts mouthpieces to be blowing it about the press like the act of a Queen.

    Talking about it in an interview did raise the profile of low wages at clubs who could afford to pay - Celtic at the time weren't paying but agreed to a year later. Even now only 5 EPL clubs do and this is 5 years on.

    If Hibs implemented it after the Budge said she had, the quietly would have been the best way to go tbf.

    The SPFL have 42 clubs with different needs it's not about forcing any club into a certain league it's all about what is feasible and practical.
    The top flight seem to be gearing up for a august the 1st start BCD's , it would be interesting to see how many clubs can't do that. 

    By now, each club will have looked at the revenue streams that they have and worked out what there exposure to playing without fans - some revenue streams will still work well, eg online club stores, Streamed matches through Club TV and Televised games through a broadcaster (e.g. Sky Sports), Donations Benefactors (other clubs have them too) Club sponsors.

    Some will be worse, ticket sales, match day hospitality, match day sponsorship, programme sales, sales through a brick and mortar club store.

    All clubs will, by now have projections about what the numbers look like for them. Some have commented publicly, some have played their cards close to their chest.  The meetings are a way for the situation to be discussed privately and the needs collated. 

    For some clubs, starting up in August will be fine, for others, the opportunity to mothball and remain a league member may be something that would help them survive.  Anything other than running a normal season would likely require rule changes.
