The whole voting fiasco and the misleading / missing information clubs received beforehand should have seen to that.

It's all the other clubs who are keeping him, and the rest of the SPFL cabal, in a job! they want the cabal to continue destroying Scottish football. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,254 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 The letter sent out today by the SPFL shows things are getting desperate. If court action goes in favour of hertz & partick thistle it’s difficult to see how the SPFL could survive. I would like to think the SFA are planning for such a scenario. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more like: as long as it is not us that suffer, we don't care. Only when they suffer, they howl at everyone and the moon how this can happen. Scottish clan-mentality. You would have thought the embrassment of the vote would push something into motion, but ... ... and even Hearts left it late with all this reconstruction mumbo-jumbo that was doomed for the very reason above. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,409 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Dear all A number of clubs have asked whether we can provide them with copies of the petition lodged by Heart of Midlothian PLC and Partick Thistle Limited naming The SPFL Limited and the companies owning the three promoted clubs (Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers) plus Stranraer FC Limited, as respondents in the action. Several clubs have also asked us to provide the answers (to the petition) that we lodged in court yesterday. There is one set of answers for the SPFL and another joint set for the three promoted clubs. We and the three promoted clubs have been advised that there are sufficiently different interests between our respective positions that to lodge consolidated answers is not possible. Unfortunately, we have also been advised that it would not be appropriate, and arguably unlawful, to make available to non-parties the litigation copies of the pleadings lodged in court. This includes the petition, the two sets of answers and the documents (ie productions), lodged in court by the parties. We have been advised that such items, when lodged, become the property (or at least under the control) of the court and that parties to a litigation are not permitted, subject to potentially severe sanctions, to circulate copies of such material to non-parties. If SPFL Member Clubs wish to receive copies of the documents lodged, then it would be necessary for each of them to apply to the court to become a respondent in the action and to lodge its own individual (or potentially joint) answers, or at least to formally associate itself with the existing answers of the three promoted clubs. If any Member is considering doing so, then it should contact Rod McKenzie and he will be pleased to advise on the required procedure and the options available. It is appropriate to observe that copies of the petition are circulating (although not through any act or omission of the SPFL) reasonably openly on the internet. There will be a first hearing in the Court of Session, provisionally scheduled for Wednesday 1 July at 11.00am. The principle issue for discussion at that hearing is likely to be whether the petition procedure in court should be sisted (suspended) whilst the issues in dispute are determined by the Scottish FA arbitration.

Gonzo79 13,584 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 One would hope that the court proceedings commencing this week result in a few serious problems for the accused. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,234 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The question remains: what are Hearts and Thistle looking for exactly? Challenging their "relegation" or indeed challenging the vote to end the season? If it is the former, I hazard a guess that somehow the court will leave it as it is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
