This may have some way to run folks. Well that shows that one of Brechin's main sponsors knows that the fix isn't in at SPFL board level and casts a new light on Ken Ferguson's departure. A move like this was to be expected. If I were a Brechin fan I'd be asking whether a bit more effort on signing players would have been a better use of his finances and energies.

LongTimeLurker Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I was thinking quality as well as quantity when I wrote that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie king mvp Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It would be embarrassing if we put up a legal challenge. I’ve said it before but I’d rather we just got relegated than go through all that. However questionable it is to be declaring champions after less than half a season there can’t be any doubt from our side where we deserve to be. And it’s the decisions of the people running the club that have got us there. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware Mackie once sponsored Dundee and don't want to blame him for supporting his local club (he's born and bred in Brechin I believe), but as with last season I am very much against teams crying about getting what they deserve through legal means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It would be embarrassing if we put up a legal challenge. Have to agree, for the sake of your club and it’s supporters, I hope you don’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I have it on good authority that Kevin Mackie is preparing a “robust” challenge to the decision to crown Kelty and Brora as champions of their respective leagues. This may have some way to run folks.Embarrassing if true. He'd be better putting his money towards the inevitable rebuild required for Brechins promotion push from the Highland League. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far be it from me to tell a successful businessman how to spend his money, but 100% endorse this post - if relegated need to get back up first time, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELE Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 If Brechin do end up in the Highland League, would they not have more chance of winning that than if they were in the Lowland League (I know they don't go to the Lowland League before anyone states this). There seems to be more teams with money behind them at the top of the Lowland League just now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I don’t think Brechin are in a position to try and win a tier 5 league next season. Stopping the rot will enough of a challenge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Feet Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Yep and because of our standing in the game we got the European elite to release plans for a super league as a smoke screen so we can sneak through a 'whatever' to avoid relegation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Feet Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I certainly hope there is no legal challenge. I do think we have been embarrassed enough over the years. I understand that you have to try your best for your club and to a degree appreciate the effort. However I think take whatever medicine is coming and invest to rebuild. SPFL may decide today and it would be Bora and Kelty who might need the legal action. Either way if decided off the football pitch it will be a mess! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
