He'll stroll League 1 for you lot, he has even strolled through some championship games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, his management team is a complete failure and if we do go down, he has to lose one of them as we cannot afford to have 2 assistants. Bye Archie. I agree but, presumably, the management team have lengthy contracts. Unless there are relegation break clauses, the club will have to pay them. As the SPFL has relegated us before the end of the season, the relegation clauses could be challenged legally. We've got 19 players under contract for next season. Most are on Championship deals. We will need to get rid of a few if relegation is enforced. Edited April 15, 2020 by Bishop Briggs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just sloppy. Or the tenuous comparison to the US election in 2000? That's utterly random. 2/10 Mr Murray needs to try harder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Doc won’t be at Somerset next season. He’ll honour his contract with Partick regardless of what league they’re in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah, because the remaining 8 League One sides are going to vote to move themselves into the bottom tier of Scottish football - where they are only 1 Brechinesque season away from footballing oblivion. Cove too, will be delighted to vote themselves back down to playing all the same teams they were playing this year... Honestly, where do people get this nonsense? The only one that has the slightest chance is the 14-10-10-10 option because there are enough sides who are neutral in that scenario who may be persuaded to vote for it. But even then, the 11-1 voting structure in the Premiership will wipe it out. The Premiership will vote for anything if it involves more cash for them. That is where the focus will be from this task force. It will be the only way they will vote for it. Bacause there is More cash from Sky it should be possible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFFC1938 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 A shocking decision to relegate Partick Thistle and I hope you guys can mount a legal challenge! Good luck and all the very best 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really should get his facts right otherwise it diminishes his point. He's an MP so I guess the truth is too much to ask for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo83 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Very harsh decision on you guys but the show must go on.You have 2 very capable league 1 players in Blair Lyons and Big sena who we had on loan.Two very good players we had at Montrose it's a pity we will see them in the same league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colliedug Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I can be critical of the board at times but I will take my hat off to them if they go through with the legal route and show all the FA's throughout Europe what a shower of crooks the SFA / SPFL all are but I've still got the feeling they will squirm out of this.I for one won't be going to any away games next season whenever that is but will still show my full support for my club outwith that.C'mon the jags 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going down the legal route will be very expensive with no guarantee that they will win . It is harsh to send Thistle down but they have been bottom for a while now I am just glad that Queens managed to get a draw in that midweek game never realised then how crucial it was not to lose that game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
