    I'm talking about Hearts own vote. Hearts voting yes should make all other votes, irrespective of aye or nay, irrelevant to a court case. They voted in favour of the very thing they are protesting about.

    No mate that is not correct.Hearts definitely never voted to relegate themselves.

    Ultimately the courts will decide if anyone has done anything illegal? That looks hard to see but you never know.

    As I understood it from before a club CAN take legal action against League but in doing so it leaves them open to sanctions like a fine, a points deduction or the ultimate sanction which is expulsion. I could be wrong about that though. Not sure where the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) fits into the process.

    I don't think so mate,they are within their rights to go to court if they so wish.Nelms will be called if it goes to court with his NO/YES vote.I think it will be settled out of court and Hearts,Partick and Stranraer will be awarded various amounts of compensation.

    The amount Hearts are claiming is laughable though,any amount awarded however will need to come out of the prize pot for all the clubs when its paid next season.

    By the way its possible that the SPFL legal guy Rod McKenzie is correct and they have no case to answer but that is in the lap of the Gods.

    Then I must be mistaken, I was under the impression they had voted yes to ending the lower leagues.

    Don't think so, no. That vote also askedy the SPFL board to call the premiership which Hearts didn't want

    Yeah it's my mistake. Tbh it's banged on that long I've lost count of who voted for what and when, it's been worse than ****ing Brexit! I'm not sure whether or not clubs had a choice whether to vote or not but if you do take part in a democratic vote do you not have to suck it up and accept the outcome? If so then I now see GBs point.
