Hearts get a massive compensation claim that the SPFL can’t afford then tell all the other clubs “it’s coming out of all your money”. The other clubs then realise what they have been part of and start opening their mouths. Hearts get relegation deemed illegal and it opens up a massive can of worms for a good few other clubs. What a mess the corrupt bastards have caused just to get Torbetts 11 a tainted un-won title. Popcorn at the ready.

The cabal knew this (bullying) and hoped they could ultimately buy off Hearts, who can afford it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwaysblue 709 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 No lawyer but given this a little thought. Going legal is sometimes a gamble even when you seem to have right on your side. From the outside looking in I would think Hearts have a very strong case. They have explored every avenue open to them and not been seen to have received justice. The SPFL is essentially a trade association albeit run slightly differently. The role of the CEO or Director is to guide the board by giving them the necessary information, let them debate the options and then send it to the members for voting with recommendations. What the SPFL didn't do was submit ALL the options to the members. Therefore they are guilty of maladministration. I would not be surprised if we furnished Hearts with a lot of information that would be more than useful to their cause. Bottom line, Hearts have been looking at this for a while. They will know the risk and possible result. They are not going into this blind. I would think they will win plus a lot of information will become public. Looking like a good news day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears r us 30,810 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 1 hour ago, British_Empire said: This is the problem. There's no trust. The writing was on the wall when the SNP done away all the different Police forces, merged it into Police Scotland with one handpicked chief of Police that will dance to the SNP's tune. We've seen Derek McKay grooming a kid with no charges, Alex Salmond walk free with 9/10 women essentially labeled liars, Craig Whyte walk free from court after a fradulant takeover of us, Police Scotland mysteriously losing evidence from the Green.B with Protestants hanging from the stands, and a couple of years ago a judge jail a Rangers fan for singing the Billy Boys yet the same judge, same court and a week or so before letting a peadophile walk free despite him having thousands of images on his computer. Don't get me wrong, in any country you could pick out errors or injustices like that - but in Scotland this stuff is so ingrained and run by a tarrier/Nationalist cabal who all look out for each other. There's every single chance the person responsible for making any ruling in a Hearts case could be someone that allows his heart to rule his head and not even subconsciously - he sees it as his duty irrespective of evidence or obligation. Excellent post mate and broadens out what my short post was getting at. We can only hope because this will not involve a jury (I assume) it might have a better chance of a fair judgement. Jury trials in Scotland I believe if it involves SNP people or football people the chances of a fair trial are not high. No selick fan was going to convict Whyte, no Nat supporter was going to convict Salmond. The SNP are destroying our wee country and I have no idea where it will end. Sorry for taking this a bit with my earlier post, but I believe it is relevant to this situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hedgehog 10,673 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 In my opinion Hearts would win their case in court based on the fact the SPFL are duty bound to act in the best interests of ALL 42 member clubs. They have blatantly failed to do that, you cannot expel any team from a league unless it’s totally merited, which in the case of Hearts, Stranraer and Partick Thistle, it isn’t. No team should be rewarded or punished unfairly during these unprecedented times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board Update – 15th June 2020 Monday 15th June, 2020 at 4:14pm Partick Thistle is neither shocked nor surprised by today’s announcement. It has been clear for some time that we were to be sacrificed for the alleged greater good of the Scottish game, but it is still sickening now that it has been confirmed. In recent weeks, we have gone over the limited options open to us in this situation. Court action is our preferred route. However, the reality is that the cost to do so is prohibitive for us and it comes with no guarantee of success. To raise an action would cost the club a six-figure sum, indeed it would mean effectively using the incredible six-figure sum raised by our fans to support the club through this difficult period. That is the equivalent of monies to bring three or four new players to the club to get us back on track next season. That has to be our priority and what we believe a majority of our fans want too – building the strongest possible squad to win matches when football returns. Therefore, the Board will not pursue legal action at this time but reserves the right to do so should circumstances change. We know that some may disagree with that decision. But, with no guarantees, we can’t risk monies in this way if we are serious about getting back to the Championship at the first opportunity. We are entitled to feel rage about this injustice, but we should channel that anger and use that money to deliver our own justice in the form of a club whose only stated intention is promotion next season. That’s where our focus must now lie, beginning with a demand for a start date for the new season from the SPFL. We cannot be stopped from playing and clubs in our league have indicated they are able to play. League One MUST start in a similar timescale to the Championship. The SPFL has no reason to further harm our club by delaying the announcement of our fixtures when announcing other leagues. As a member of the SPFL, we feel badly let down especially by its Board and Chairman. In allowing harm to be done to some members, as they have done, can the SPFL really still be regarded as a membership organisation that works in the best interests of all its members, one that genuinely acts on behalf of the membership as a whole? In all of its actions of recent months, the SPFL has shown it is not fit for purpose. That must be addressed, claiming to only do what members tell them is an assertion that has now worn thin. Finally, what has also been made clear today is that, despite this being the worst of times, a majority of Scottish football wasn’t prepared to stand by its own. There are a number of honourable exceptions, who know who they are – to all of you we say thank you, we will not forget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
