League Reconstruction 20/21 season


Recommended Posts

Hearts already receive “Compensation” in terms of the parachute fee.  Your solution is literally the least likely of all possible outcomes.

A point I repeatedly make. 

 

 

They should not get a penny more.

 

If any clubs deserve compensation it is those who gave up the chance of promotion when playoffs were cancelled

Ann Budge FFS. Old Abraham Lincoln got it wrong where Hearts supporters are concerned. Apparently you can fool all of the people all of the time. 

Beg to differ. This looks very much like a 'some of the time' affair. There was already a bit of a Budge-oot movement before the lockdown, which stalled because her fighting words kept the moonhowlers onside. If the relegation arbiitration deliberation gives Hearts an unfavourable determination, I can well imagine that there'll be a lot of voices calling for an expeditious termination...

I imagine what will happen is that clubs & spfl will be told what's happened but it will embargoed until a statement is released,
then quickly followed by follow up statements from clubs?

Aye, one day....

A parachute payment isn't compensation for the season being terminated early, it's a payment that clubs always get when they're relegated and is therefore essentially part of the prize money for finishing 12th. Clubs who were in the play-off spots also got their usual compensation for finishing in those spots, so why would they deserve any extra?

The way things are going, I'm not even sure we'll complete this season, now. I can see a lot of games being postponed due to Covid...

Hopefully teams will take it much more seriously now, I'm sure everyone let their guard down a bit as the weeks have gone by. Maybe it's best to have these issues now so they review the procedures and tighten them.

Could be that the BBC are getting ready to try to be first to report the result. Brian McLaughlin seems to have a holding place ready for it on the website, this page originally had Hearts and Thistle insignia at the top, now replaced with "dsfas" whatever that means, probably "leave this alone, incoming".

FWIW, compensation at a fraction of what is being claimed, to Hearts & Thistle is an entirely fair outcome to all of this and would hopefully allow people to move on.

 

A signed copy each of Neil Doncaster's autobiography hopefully.

Most coherent thing the BBC have written on this, tbh. 
 

(“dsfas” is either an advert for a sofa company,  or just a standard mashing of the keyboard).

This is common practice for the BBC and other sites, and also provides fuel for conspiracy theorists because of the fact it has a timestamp. "How can they have reported this at that time when it hadn't even happened yet?".

It's not about haggling over compo you either think think that the reconstruction saga went according to SPFL rules or not, I don't see why my club should finance successful business woman Ann Budgies (below left) attempt to save face with the Hearts support for her miscalculation back in April - I'll bet your club  feels the same!maxresdefault.jpg
