Dave Hedgehog 10,673 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 So the SPFL are using Shepperd and Wedderburn? Using them to fight two member clubs in court. Look who works for Shepperd and Wedderburn, another weird coincidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird concept for scottish football but rules in place so clubs wouldn't even need to vote could be revolutionary😁 Never catch on mate, Where's the Excitement in that Ffs 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting rules in place that means any chance of is winning a league is not part of the agenda. That's what they're trying to do when rules can and should be set, and the conditions they're activated, prior to a ball being kicked. It honestly shouldn't be that difficult, if they wanted to.... 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 42,452 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 If Hearts and Thistle win this it easily opens a massive gateway for other clubs who missed out due to calling the league early. In particular us, we had the chance of trying to win the league taken away from us, which was still mathematically possible. Could easily seek damages of league winnings and champions league earnings. As I said this could wipe out the whole SPFL if they lose this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont go like that, the SPFL would stick null and void on the table and use last seasons finishing places for euro places, then we'd need to accept that or look really fucking stupid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder who is paying? Our friends from the East End? Hopefully the club ask to see the books to clarify where exactly the monies for tge defence came from.

Fuck knows. Just that if the total damages that are eventually paid out are bigger than the pot then it's done for.

We’re not willing to quote you a price and, to save us the hassle your fussy cunt of a neighbour gave us, just hand over your keys and we’ll let you know when you need to move out.

They've tied their name exclusively to the SPFL product and are watching it tear itself apart. They'll have to be careful or money they have paid already will disappear with nothing for it.
