Still no one has pointed out anywhere in the rules that something couldn’t be done about players. What is it that propose be "done" about the players incidentally? Championship level football isn't being played until October if all goes well. Are you seriously advocating that last season should have been finished then? With players forcibly retained for an extra 6 months or so presumably and the following season not beginning (at any level because the Premiership can't start until promotion is settled) until say January? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be good to know how clubs would pay all of their players/staff with no money coming into the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting to that but waiting for him to insist that they do first. I want to know how he intends to force players to stay where they are for a further 6 months even if they've agreed contracts elsewhere, how he intends for clubs to pay these players and how he intends to deal with making the Premiership idle while they wait for this completion. Completing the season was clearly completely unrealistic and that's why it didn't happen, not even at the top level when they are intent on restarting in August. The options on the table were call it as it stands or void it, in which case for Hearts and Partick Thistle, getting irate and taking legal action read Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers. Plus there were other commercial ramifications for declaring it void which meant it was a non starter anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has someone explained to them that the SPFL is a members organisation? If they win is it not the other clubs who suffer to cover their compensation through reduced prize money sponsorship etc. However, they aren't acting out of self interest. Absolute charlatans and a real parcel of rogues. Edited June 17, 2020 by Trogdor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 When will people realise and understand why clubs and fans are crying - IF the season had been allowed to finish, then ALL the team's at the bottom WOULD have turned a miraculous corner and STAYED UP ! That's why we have to go to the court of Human rights, someone please help we beg you, we are desperate. Almost like a boring charity case. Players out of contract WOULD have played for nothing, I know they would. Season over. GIVE UP ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Any chance the court cases could be on TV , bit like the usual crap shown on daytime tv. Sure the American audience would like to see our justice system at work. Bit like trying to prove a mass murderer is really innocent I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I know it’s standard to ask for more as a starting point but that’s absolutely incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
