SpoonTon Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Bit confused as to how Falkirk fans could take this as any sort of a win. It's a pretty damning report on the way in which people at Falkirk and McKinnon conducted themselves. The only club that have been as naive or malicious as to act in this way since the early 90s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, exactly. So in future clubs will be less like to be underhand rather than just paying the compo in the first place. A deterrent if you will 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost so far is 3k in charges to the beaks at Hampden. 'haha we can appeal the decision haha' Terrific stuff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deterrent if you will No I for one would far prefer the cash going to some SPFL trust than one of the other sides in our league so would be more inclined to go about it this way than the other. Morton would've probably come out of this with a few quid if your chairman had simply said aye give us 40k and you can have him instead of the way he handled it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The Falkirk fans with about as much comprehension of legal matters as their board and their clown of a manager it’d appear. This is one issue sorted, and we’re now entitled to a significant enough compensation amount. Pretty bizare to be championing this as some sort of victory, complete minter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claiming otherwise is merely ignoring evidence to bolster a weak point. At least Dundee Utd accepted that Falkirk should be compensated. From the point of the tribunal, they had to look back to the Tommy Burns case for something to draw upon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United did exactly what we did except instead of whining to the league at the time we took the compensation on offer and moved on. If the morton chairman hadnt come out with some ridiculous compo wish of 100k for a guy on a 40k 1 year contract who no longer wishes to be there then a nominal fee for compensation would've been agreed and this wouldnt have dragged on and on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty big leap from anything that Falkirk have stated. It's quite clear that they never at any point had any intention of offering any compensation. Indeed, Falkirk initially demanded 10 times what Dundee Utd wanted to offer for McCall and they managed to come to an agreement in the end, so I don't think there's any reason to believe an unrealistic demand was the reason why no compensation was given. Falkirk simply never accepted that they had done anything wrong or had to pay anything at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this not put it in that area: Accordingly, we consider that the appropriate range for an immediate financial penalty should be in the general range of the basic figure for the contract of Mr McKinnon, on an annual basis, which net would be in the region of £40,000, and we consider that to be an appropriate figure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
