Surprised that have the begging bowls out and quite a riddy to be honest. I may be completely wrong but, as far as I know, the 'fat lottery winner' only put money into their academy. Now that he's passed away, I doubt that his family will want to throw any more cash away? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeville Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 We can all speculate on what will or won’t happen with the season. One thing that won’t stop us completing the season is player contracts. The clubs and the authorities can sort that easily. Unfortunately we can’t control covid-19. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he bought the club for 2.5 million so that's no just academy investment is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's quoted but it should have come out via FFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Gary Deans actually sounding quite well for a member of our board and for once seems to be a bit of leadership from the club on this: https://www.falkirkherald.co.uk/sport/football/falkirk-fc/work-together-get-through-falkirk-chairmans-message-2494378 See Raith have launched a crwodfunding appeal to help them raise 25k to help the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hearts asking players and staff to take a 50 percent pay cut. What a complete riddy. Have they not shafted their staff enough over the past few seasons. Club is obviously being run in a way that sees no money reserves being put aside for emergency purposes but is instead living on the edge of the brink. Shambolic stuff from budge who couldnt run the proverbial in a brewery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This financial fall out from this would be horrendous. League sponsors & TV companies could demand refunds or withhold final payments, loss of revenue from gates & hospitality, and legal action from clubs that have suffered by not going up. Then of course there is the Celtic factor. Not a decision to be taken lightly and for the reasons above I think it won't happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Tuesday Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I think its correct we keep the communication alive throughout this from the governing bodies, however lets see how many teams we have left after this has peaked and make decisions from there, because I'll be stunned if every team makes it out the other side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
