Where's the 500k or whatever parachute payment earmarked for Hamilton if they'd gone down via a playoff they luckily avoided by voting to avoid it? Just pocketed? Why hasn't that been offered. You do know that part of the parachute playoff payments come out of the revenue from the playoffs, don't you? It hasn't been offered because it's still in the pockets of Inverness and Accies fans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghPar1975 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Have the SPFL and Hearts chosen their arbitrators yet? I can't remember seeing anything but thought they wanted to move quickly? Am i correct in assuming that once chosen they'll be discussing the case for a few days with the QCs and we'll just find out the outcome as opposed to any snippets being leaked? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts would probably have accepted a million or so and probably still would. At the time that amount was mooted, Hearts and PT were possibly looking at NO football next season - ie demoted to a league not running - as clubs in the lower leagues were talking about not being able to operate at all. That's now sorted so I'd imagine our expectations have been lowered. I don't know. A bit extra compensation for having to play 27 games only and lay off staff seems fine. Something for the Scottish cup nonsense of being put at a disadvantage compared to the other teams and missing out on a European spot potentially. I've always thought the parachute payment was silly, rewarding teams for getting relegated so I wouldn't expect anything in a normal season. When you lose the arbitration case you will need to cover all costs: Dundee, Raith, Cove, Spfl, Sfa, is going to be at least 500k. Hope you've got it. Could be a poinding outside Budge's townhouse.

You do understand that the euro spot went to 4th BECAUSE WE CANT PLAY FOOTBALL AT ALL AND NEED TO TELL UEFA BY A PREDETERMINED DEADLINE WHICH WE COULD NOT MEET. Sorry for shouting, but given you have been told this already I assumed you missed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Sheridan made sure that we could all safely refuse to pay our poll tax next time round... Good man. Has kind of become a parody of his former self. If the OF* derby ever needs to be settled by other means, I would propose these two gentleman as proxies of their respective clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 There was nothing stoping the SPFL getting all clubs together ages ago if calling the league early really was the only route they wanted to go down and coming up with a compensation package. At that time Budge was talking 3m and probably would settle for half. Instead they didn't even mention the relegated clubs in their announcement after the resolution was passed (eventually). From the start the SPFL has set the tone of this. They've used the media to say they have no money, ie no compensation for you. This basically meant take it to court or nothing and forced Hearts and Pt's hands from the start. They didn't take control of the reconstruction process. They didn't take control of anything to be honest. Club chairman have been all over the papers spouting all sorts of nonsense. Now very quiet all of a sudden - why's that? Nothing to gain for them I suppose. They've set clubs against clubs. In social media the open misogyny has been absolutely disgusting, also from a couple of club chairmen in the press one in particular I can't remember his name. Do we honestly think one of the boys club members would have got this level of stick? Now they're promoting a tactic of actually encouraging open warfare between clubs. I only see this as helping Pt and Hearts but it's an absolute car crash and it's all on the SPFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Tommy Sheridan is as full on in person as you'd expect him to be. Not that he isn't a nice enough bloke, I should say. Lots of energy there though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
