Although there is no right of appeal, surely everyone must realize that if the panel find against united, Raith and cove, the 3 clubs will immediately raise a new legal action of their own against the denial of promotion. We're not just going to shrug our shoulders and accept it.
I cannot actually see this going against us or we will have the right to a compensation claim for the financial output in preparation for the season ahead. If reconstruction is forced, Hearts and Inverness will need at least a month to get their squads in order, which creates an instant fixture backlog.
The outcome i would most like to see would be Hearts and Partick to get compo, just for the absolute rage that would ensue when the 37 other members of the SPFL have to stump up. I would then wonder how good their M8 coalition would be by the time the SFA charge comes to being, and a clearer picture comes about on how detrimental to Scottish football this has been!
I’m thinking tomorrow hearts officially relegated again and we have a new played signed by Tuesday. 👍
Surely this will be announced tomorrow one way or another.
I thought when Lord Clark asked Sfa about timescales it was said this could be done in time. Now way too close to the start of the season - 4 days before kick off its to be confirmed who is in which league !?!
I see the Jambos on Kickback are predictably waffling on about Villa staying up despite being in the relegation zone at lockdown and extolling finishing the League. Of course they are conveniently forgetting that there was no Governmental authority given in Scotland in sufficient time to allow re-starting plans as UEFA had dictated a decision on how domestic leagues were to be finished by May 25th, unlike in England, and of course there are the sheer costs involved in the programme that the EPL and Championship had to underwrite to allow all this which the SPFL couldn’t have afforded in a month of Sundays. That and amongst many other things.
