Brechin never threatened anyone. Whether or not any threats were made by any SPFL member is a different matter. The SPFL categorically deny any such conversation and the LL chairman watered down his initial statement and finished with the words , make of that what you want. ..........which is hardly conclusive. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry? In what way did the LL decline to hold a play off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So changing a rule half way through a season Is acceptable? Why did Ken not propose this at the start of the season, is it because his club were in the shit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be that it was only put to the LL mid season when it became apparent that Brechin were going to be bottom . Only a suggestion as to state otherwise is pure speculation . I personally don't think it is acceptable to change rules mid season but don't see a problem in asking the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference between asking the question and getting your SPFL pals to threaten the LL. This actually did happen and if as you say it's only speculation where is the official denial from the SPFL? Not one person has come out with a statement countering the claims made by Kelty and backed up by the LL Chairman. If it didn’t happen as they have described do you think for one minute they would just sit in silence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your actually trying to misrepresent what the LL chairman said. He clearly stated threats were made, nothing was watered down, bullying was then mentioned and that is where the comment ‘make of that what you will’ was made. Who from the SPFL is categorically denying it? Wouldn’t be Ken by any chance? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoriginalhedge Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 It appears we will never get to the bottom of what actually happened as there have been so many tales of deception and double dealing through this whole murky affair. Who do you trust? Who's story is genuine? Is anyone genuine? Is football getting used? Can football ever go back to being about the football? Was it ever just about the football? The only certainty is that if and when football does start , it will be a much more hostile environment than it ever was before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
