They will have been contracted to a certain amount of games in a season. If they don't get all the games they have signed up for, then they could withhold a proportion of the cash in the contract. What doesn't change a thing in the TV companies favour is calling the league void or calling it early and naming a champion. Either outcome still means that they have not been able to show the number of games in their contract. Like I said, if the do not have the relevant force majeure/pandemic clause in their contracts they don’t have a leg to stand on. Of course you are entitled to your opinion.

Colin Traive 22,716 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 13 minutes ago, mitre_mouldmaster said: Sorry but this argument does not stack up. The breach of contract is about the number of games played and shown by the broadcaster. It makes no difference if we end the league now and call it null and void compared to ending it now and declaring a champion. In either circumstance, the broadcaster has been able to show X number of the contracted Y games. Down south, they are talking about making up the number of games next season, so sky are being given the number of games they paid for. If we end the season early then our contract is has not been fulfilled. Calling the league null and void does no more harm to the contract with the broadcaster than calling it early and naming a champion. 100% Early on Liewell made a statement about decisions with serious implications, suggesting Null and Void would mean paying back gazillions when in fact there is no difference between declaring or null/voiding in terms of games played or rebate due. Still gobsmacked at how readily this option is being ignored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Remember Mr Park's statement,wherein he stated he'd shown some evidence to other clubs with which they had agreed. We're not on our own in this imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spfl rules has a Force Majeure for an event, which is determined by an Appeal Tribunal to have been unforeseeable and unavoidable. The reason they can’t use is is that it’ll prevent the gifting of a title for their football team. This vote shouldn’t of even existed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negri's lovechild 13,843 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 We aren't going to go in the way we have unless the evidence we have is substantial. We will be making sure all our ducks are in a row and talking to the other clubs who are with us before a statement is made. There will be lots going on in the background, any further public statements will have to be legally watertight too, so I feel confident that our patience will be rewarded. Also, an extra bit of squeaky bum time for the spfl and other teams is never a bad thing. They can scurry around, get their lackeys to make statements rounding on other teams but that won't matter a jot if the evidence and the number of teams with us is conclusive. The truth will out.

Tero Penttila 425 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 What I find most striking is the silence from the paedos. They’re never slow to get on the front foot as far as PR is concerned and tend to go in aggressively early doors. Now though, you can’t move for tumbleweed. Certainly makes you wonder whether they’re nervous about something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Ladbrokes have a guy called David Macdonald who is head of media and promotions or some shite, He took to Twitter yesterday and made a cunt of himself, Basically said ICT CEO Scot Gardiner was being unprofessional by releasing what should have been confidential information and was only doing so for his own ends by trying to enhance his own standing in Scottish Football, Anyway turns out The Bold David is a Tarrier, Who’d have thunk it 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
