The sheer cheek and temerity of this fuckin Club knows no bounds and the mere fact that Hearts and Partick Thistle are perfectly right to challenge the ruling legally seems to be lost to Thomson. If ever a Club should be boycotted it's this fuckin shambles of a Club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hedgehog 10,673 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Part 1. Dundee Utd on Friday 3rd July Dundee United, Cove Rangers and Raith Rovers are pleased with and welcome Lord Clark's decision to refer the dispute, raised by Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle, to arbitration. Whilst we remain very disappointed and unhappy at the fact that we have been drawn into this dispute, we will continue to defend our clubs’ interests. The parties will now prepare for arbitration and we very much look forward to an early resolution to allow us to fully focus all of our attention on the new season ahead. Part 2. Dundee Utd on Monday 6th July On the day that the SPFL have released the Premiership fixture list for 2020/21, which is scheduled to start on 1st August, instead of looking forward and planning for the forthcoming season, the executive team and Board at the Club are embroiled in preparation work for the SFA arbitration process that starts this week in respect of the action raised by Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle. As confirmed in our joint statement on Friday, we, along with Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, were pleased with Lord Clark’s decision to refer the dispute to arbitration, however we remain incensed that we are having to devote considerable time and incur significant legal costs in defending this action. Together we have already incurred costs of over £50,000, and face further legal fees for the arbitration process that could take the total bill to over £150,000. Given the serious financial implications of these escalating legal costs for Raith Rovers, Cove Rangers and ourselves, the three clubs have considered withdrawing from the arbitration process and allowing the expert panel of arbiters to judge the case raised by Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle without any submissions from us in defence of our case. However, we believe (and our external legal advisors have confirmed same) that there is too much at stake to not defend our position against the Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle petition, which is seeking to reverse a decision that was made by 81% of the SPFL member clubs. If successful in their action, in our opinion Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle would compromise the sporting integrity of the SPFL with clubs having been declared champions of their league not being promoted. Having won the Championship by a considerable margin, and invested substantial sums of money in preparing for next season in the Premiership, a decision to overturn the SPFL resolution that was supported by 34 of the 42 member clubs would be ruinous for us and our fans. Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle could also be awarded significant sums in terms of compensation. Their compensation claim is for a total of £10 million. For the SPFL and its member clubs this would have potentially catastrophic consequences, with any compensation payment made to Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle being paid directly out of SPFL funds that are distributed to all clubs each season as prize money. It is with these factors in mind, that, along with Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, we are reaching out to our fellow member clubs for support in defending this action, which has not only potentially grave consequences for us, but every SPFL club. We also intend running a crowdfunding campaign to raise money to help fund the huge legal bills that we face. We hope that as well as our own supporters, fans of clubs across Scotland will see this as a worthy cause to get behind in that if Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle are successful in their action it could have serious ramifications for the whole of Scottish football.

esquire8 42,763 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The fact the United lawyer tried to get Hearts and Partick thrown out the league says it all. Cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I think they’ll be desperate to prevent that vote getting held to legal scrutiny hence a deal with Hearts /Thistle is their only option to prevent it. Pay £10m, league reconstruction or grant them their wish and remove the additions regarding promotion and relegation. The easiest one is the latter, maybe explains Dundee Utd desperate statement.

Trooblue 1,973 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 It's been a long wait since 2012, but very enjoyable nonetheless to see Scottish football start to tear itself apart from the inside, while we watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 42,763 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 With the SPFL and Dundee Utd/Raith/Cove sharing the defence would they 3 clubs know about what the SPFL have on file about the resolution? Maybe the facts in them files have put their position in major jeopardy and now they need backing from the majority to over weigh them files? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
