Hearts legal action

[JamesMcClean]

We should tell Hearts to give us £8,000,000 and they can take our place in the Premiership,if we dinnie fancy that then the Accies or ST Mirren should offer them the same deal.
Alloa or Arbroath should offer to go down if Partick give them the £2,000,000 they are claiming,problem FN solved.

They’re probably needing maist of that to pay off Stendl and the other expensive, overpaid diddies that put them Doon in the first place.

Not a bad shout GB

Maybe Stranraer should join in with this- million for them. Half a million each for Brora and Kelty 😂🙈😂

The spfl should take a hard line on this. Bringing massive problems for Scottish football if start of the season is stopped or we have to pay out this kind of money

Heart of Midlothian Football Club and Partick Thistle Football Club have today lodged a petition with the Court of Session to challenge the unfair and unjust decision of the SPFL to enforce relegations, to the extreme detriment of those clubs affected.
Unfortunately, Scottish football has been unable to pull together at this time of national crisis to prevent the need for this legal challenge. We desperately hoped Court action would not be necessary, but we were left with no other option.

For clarity, our petition does not seek to set aside or unravel the fee payments made to clubs, nor indeed the declaration of Champions, or the nomination of clubs who will participate in European competition.

Instead, the petition primarily seeks to reduce the unfair resolution insofar as it changed the SPFL’s rules on promotion and relegation. If that remedy is not granted by the Court, we seek, in the alternative, awards of compensation relative to the significant financial loss which the unfair relegations will visit upon us.

As matters stand, we have not asked the Court to grant an interim interdict which would prevent next Season commencing on 1 August. However, we have to reserve our right to do so in the event that becomes necessary.

We would emphasise instead that we have no wish to disrupt Scottish football but rather our aim is to have the proceedings litigated to a conclusion as quickly as possible. In that regard, the Court has today granted our motion to reduce the normal period within which the SPFL must answer our petition, to 7 days.

No further comment will be made by either Club at this time.

Joint statement above.

Reserving right to stop start of the season

Sorry Hearts but relegation is what happens when you are not good enough and you are bottom of the league.

Good tactic getting Partick along to make it look less of a solo effort TBF

The answer is to play the FN games,they were heading to the Championship with all guns blazing and honestly even if by some miracle they made 2nd bottom i think that ICT or more probably The Dees would have beat them in the play off final.

That to be frank is how bad they were,i have got to be honest here DFC,ICT and Ayr have as much of a case as Hearts and Partick,they were denied the chance of promotion against one of the worst Premiership bottom 3 in history,FACT.

[GUNBOAT]

I have never been comfortable with the way the league's were ended even though United were correctly promoted even most Dees know that was the right decision and accepted it.

It is a FACT that my firm went into lockdown and stopped working on the 22nd of March,we never earned or were paid any benefits for 6 weeks,two of us are in the shielding category but returned to work at the end of April through sheer necessity.

If we can go and work in the open air without ever receiving a covid test then surely to phuck fit young athletes can do the same with support i can only dream about.

I received two shielding letters telling me i must stay indoors from the 9th of April until 31st of July because i am at a greater risk of severe ilness from covid 19 than the public in general.

As of this morning i am still very much alive and pretty healthy in my opinion,if we have managed to go back to work why can't Scottish football do the same?.

I think we all would have much preferred the league's to be concluded GB, we all wanted the actual title party etc.

Great to know you're fit and well too buddy. I work in the automotive industry myself and things look pretty bleak right now although my company has stayed open so far and people are being brought back in in dribs and drabs. I expect to be very low down in the pecking order though as I'm non production these days and also night shift, which is a long way off returning. But I'm fit and healthy too which is better than some 👍

so....Hearts petition primarily seeks to reduce the unfair resolution on promotion and relegation. If that remedy is not granted by the Court, they seek, alternatively, awards of compensation relative to the significant financial loss which the unfair relegations will cause them.

They are gonna get money but who pays?

Your right the other clubs would be daft not ask for cash from the money tree. Those clubs being Stranraer, Brora and Kelty ������. If I were Falkirk I would explain to the courts how damaged they are too. Then ICT and all the playoff clubs can come running too.

BTW mate i really am not meaning a look at me post not that anyone has suggested that.It really is a national embarrassment that Scottish football at board level decided we were too wee to overcome the virus.
This country introduced football to nations of the calibre of Argentina and taught the English the passing game when they hitherto played a rushing rugby type of the beautiful game.
I honestly think if we had better people on the SPFL board our season could and should have been played to a finish behind closed doors.There are too many times in my life when i have heard the,"We are too wee to do this and too wee to do that" excuses from people in power and it really FN pysses me off.FACT
