It's not my area of law but I wouldn't be so glib as to simply dismiss the potential for legal challenge out of hand. Unless the season finishes normally then there's going to have to be a novel solution and that will inevitably result in some parties being disappointed and out of pocket. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see this ending up in court. Whether that's United, Hearts, Celtic, Partick or whoever. You'd have to be an actual expert or an idiot to presume to know definitively how those cases would go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @Skyline Drifter can confirm whether or not he’s an “actual expert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a common assumption amongst "member clubs" (in the broadest sense) that they can do whatever they want provided that the majority agree. It's a fallacy. There are obligations which arise in these relationships, particularly when substantial sums of money are involved, which go beyond the mere whim of the members, amongst them an obligation to act "fairly". That question will be ripe for litigation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooshedder Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Am all for red lichties plan apart from going back to normal in 22/23 and Ayr going up. Now may be the best time to restructure if we get our act together and stand up to certain clubs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Finish season as is, top two up, bottom two down up and down the leagues. Fair approach and avoids the we might have caught arguements and the playoffs.Voiding leagues so late in season shouldn't be the answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Void the season, give the teams the points difference they have accumulated now for the start of next season. Add 1 year on to all players contracts. No league has been won yet so the legal argument would fall to bits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All companies are bound to lose money because of the current situation. Playing behind closed doors or not playing for the next however many months will all cost clubs, they are going to lose money whatever happens. You cant just promote or relegate teams as they stand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Put me down for no relgation in any league. Top two go up in each league LL/HL one each up into L2. Alternatively bite the bullet and restructure to Three Leagues of 14. 45 game season. Bin the League cup and bin Scottish Cup replays 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daftjag Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) only way to do this is to postpone the season until it can be finished. theres no way you can deny united promotion (despite how funny it would be) and theres no way you can relegate hearts and us the way the league is. finish the season, whatever and how long it takes, then plan the restructure from there.

Monkey Tennis Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Put everything on hold, and stage the Euros in summer 2021. When football can resume, complete the current domestic competitions in full, as quickly as possible, with crammed midweeks. Then make next season the truncated one, dependent on how much time remains for it. What do we do in the meantime about player contracts? Don't know. What do we do about European club competitions? Don't care. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
