If Hearts & Partick Thistle are successful in court then the SPFL is finished. The SFA would need to take over the running of the leagues and reinstate both hearts & thistle in the premiership & championship. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleam 5,358 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 So, and this is a serious question, with a £10M plus costs civil action in the offing, just who call(s) the response at SPFL? -The Hired Help? -The Board? -The Member Clubs? De facto, we suspect, it will be Pederasts Inc FC which will have the say, but de iure, who will be responsible, and, presumably, liable, when the Court decides against the League? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Leslie Deans the action would be served against the SPFL but the members would be liable for any financial court awards. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,087 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 SPFL is a private limited company so I assume the Board of Directors will instruct the defence. If Hearts and Wraggs win they won’t get very much for their decree. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you pointing out the blatantly obvious but I understand why you’ve written it the way you have. Can you imagine similar restraint from a dark side blogger? Hell, they have former captains coming out saying there is a conspiracy against them, the team who have engineered to be awarded 8.5 consecutive titles and several cups! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both these make me wonder 1) If member clubs are required to pay the amount of any compensation does that mean the clubs are employed by the SPFL and have a franchise to run a club as a Ltd. organisation within the SPFL that is also a Ltd.organisation which to me is weird. 2) If this is a legal situation does it mean that any limited company can pass the settlement of a damages claim etc. to their employees/franchisees?. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
