East Kent Jag II Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 According to The Edinburgh Evening News, the RR chairman has said that the three promoted clubs will be represented at the Arbitration Hearing. This looks like going ahead next week. I hope that their QC is the man with the boring voice. I'm not sure whether or not they are contesting both strands of the Thistle/ Hearts case (i.e. relegation/ promotion and compensation), or just the relegation/ promotion issue.

I really don't see why the SFA should fund a clubs expenses to travel to Champions League games. Imaging how you would feel if they announced they were paying Celtic's fees. Fantastic news that they have the financial backing of Mr Anderson though. Great to see a club that is independent of any men's football club making it to the quarter final of the Champions League.

It does seem odd that they are planning to finish in Edinburgh. From a fundraising point of view I would have thought it best to do it in the other direction.

I disagree BB - there's a huge difference in the green filth going on their CL travels and scooping £xx millions from UEFA in tbe process & the GC team trying to fund a European trip (possibly for up to 10 days if they progress) based on a couple of hundred attending home ganes up petershill park and scraps from the men's game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The compensation strand of the case is a proposed alternative remedy to annulment, is it not? They’re mutually exclusive.

East Kent Jag II Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Yes, WJ, they are fighting both. I've just seen that in another RR chairman interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 So, does the case start over again, just behind closed doors and in a different venue? If a judge rejected the 3 clubs petition is it open to be raised again at the arbitration hearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm thinking about sporting integrity. Put it another way, would Hibernian, Spartans and the other women's teams not be aggrieved that GC would be getting additional funding from the SFA?

East Kent Jag II Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Scotty asked if the case starts all over again, behind closed doors. Yes, with the three members of the Arbitration panel adjudicating. My understanding is that the relegation / promotion question will be considered, and if rejected, the compensation question will be looked at. Lenziejag asked if the three promoted clubs should bother going to the expense of being represented. In view of what's at stake particularly for Dundee Utd financially, their legal advice is that they should be there. They could have left it to the SPFL, but probably run the risk of getting demoted, rather that promoted, knowing that lot! Only joking!!! Does anyone know if Hearts get an automatic parachute payment, or was that discretionary? Not been mentioned at all. It may be included in their £8 million, though.
