EdinburghPar1975 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Does the Wigan situation finally end the argument that there was a possibility the league up here could've been completed? The costs of bringing the players back, testing and playing games with no income (and at least 6 still to go) shows that unless the clubs have seriously rich owners and very small wage bills then there's a good chance this will not end well for quite a few teams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fair! ...and they cheated so well that the 'wronged' team took their manager off them just to get them telt! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of absolute bollocks!! I'd say it's more like... Hearts have been found to have been shite at their job, incompetent & just not up to standard. Due to circumstances out with anyone's control they were unable to let Hearts finish their probation and they were let go a bit early. They could have turned their performance round but unlikely. Dundee United have been given a job as they proved very good at interview & now Hearts want to stop them being employed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top league could have been finished , maybe not the lower leagues . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Wigan into administration. I wonder if the Championship restarting has played a part in that (i.e. they had to take players/staff off furlough six weeks ago + costs of testing).Probably something to do with their 169% wage/turnover ratio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare Dundee United win more games than any other team in the league! Still, this means that United have finally done over Hearts, much like their pals across the road. A Dundee Double you could say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a Championship club is almost always a terrible idea, but there's always some mug who thinks he'll make it work. Especially as a lot of them will be being given away. I wonder what the average cost would be for buying promotion compared to one year's minimum Premier League money? Huge gamble of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge gamble of course. Aye, that's the temptation. The podcast discussed something similar to that recently. I think QPR and Fulham were given as the two recent-ish examples of clubs who spent their way up by blowing so much cash that when they went back down they'd still lost money on the whole adventure despite their short-lived Premier League tenures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully two Glasgow clubs buy Championship clubs and f**k off down there to the League they always wanted to play in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The SPFL case is to sist (suspend) the court case while it goes to the SFA for arbitration. I think the trio's case is to throw out the case, and go to arbitration. Could be wrong, can't listen in at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the trio's case is to throw out the case, and go to arbitration. Could be wrong, can't listen in at the moment. That's pretty much exactly what the SPFL boy said when he started speaking. He's a lot more fluent than the Dundee United guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
