btb Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 What I don't understand is why so many Hearts fans are confident of winning the case - I'm sure Doncaster & the SPFL will have sought legal advice and if they felt there was anything other than a remote prospect of SBAB/Hearts winning they'd have been telling the member clubs and getting them to vote for a reconstruction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to the Hibs and St Mirren posters for their entertaining posts and trolling, it has been easy as the Jambos have been so enraged, over confident and have a terrible sense of entitlement. 'Off I pop' back to the Championship and will only return if this goes to court, but I have my doubts. See you all when we return the season after next as we keep the Maroon doon. #StHiDeealliance Thank you. Www.dreamonyacunt.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Day Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 1 minute ago, btb said: Hearts fans are confident of winning the case I think that part of the problem is that nobody has properly articulated what this is. The legal brain that is Leslie Deans was leaking - via kickback - that he was confident that over 50% of the SPFL clubs were "pro reconstruction" and hence Doncaster would enact the executive powers. There have been various suggestions - restriction of trade and a judicial review of the original decision to end the lower leagues but it is usually accompanied with some bluster about unfairness (which it may be, but it isnt the basis of a legal case). Also, nothing I have seen actually addresses how people are extrapolating this bluster into some £5m / £10m "compensation" to Hearts. The Premiership teams themselves are facing a season of massively restricted walkup fans and hospitality / commercial income................presumably those made up numbers above relate to last season and hence have no relationship with current reality? None of it actually makes any sense, tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambieBud Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Listened to the BBC podcast. Craig Levein threatening Cowdenbeath with no loan signings was a particular highlight, just before he accused Scottish Football of being petty! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insaintee Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 1 hour ago, Ric said: Well we can see that this thread has run the course. We've got people arguing national anthems and death rates in Spain. League reconstruction, at least for the coming season, is dead and is unlikely to be raised again unless Heart of Seethelothian doesn't somehow manage to get promoted. I vote to get this punted off into the P&B Gold and those of us who support Premiership teams can get on with discussing Premiership matters while those of us who support teams who were relegated can go and stink out the Championship forums. Or if St Mirren hover around the drop zone. Scottish Football needs a strong St Mirren 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how these countries dealt with it, but the point was Sparticus was plainly wrong to call Scotland unique Season stopped after 4/5 games. "The FAI subsequently announced a contingency plan with a view to completing the domestic season at a later date with a reduced number of games" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk fans agreeing to boycott League One games because the clubs "voted to keep them down" purely to get the money from their away support. It's just great stuff. I don't think anyone's really thinking of boycotting, that would be embarrassing, but this was posted earlier when I asked why Clyde would vote against 14-10-10-10.

Getting ourselves out of the bottom league was going to help us due to away crowds being more than a mini bus and Falkirk and PT have and will do that. Losing them means only Airdrie bring any sort of support and budgets have to be trimmed again as no one was expecting reconstruction in March. It would be good if we were in a position to ignore that, but we aren't and I would think that is true of several others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 1 hour ago, RandomGuy. said: Scotland is unique because the UK, which includes Scotland, is by far the worst affected country in Europe at the moment and about 2/3 weeks behind all the other countries on the continent. Our only comparisons are England, where two leagues have been called and PPG used to decide position, and the other two earn so much money any comparison is moronic. Irish football runs a Summer season, and have voted to have a reduced season of 27 games but havent decided on when to restart their season yet. Northern Ireland havent resumed their season yet, nor decided on whether to end the season or resume it, or even what happens in August when the new season is due to start. Irish League - always on the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And therein lies the rub. For all the bluster about legal challenges, the confidence in any success only lies in those who cannot quite grasp reality. There is no basis for a legal challenge that has yet been articulated, because it doesn’t exist. Hearts will scream about it for a few days and play to their support, before they drop it. They’ll soon realise they don’t have the money to waste on a doomed effort. Edited June 16, 2020 by ArabFC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) This thread is far from dead. Despite their relegation, I fully expect Hearts to continue to push for reconstruction, what with it being for the good of Scottish football and not just about saving Hearts, etc. Edited June 16, 2020 by Coventry Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
