I would have preferred for season to be completed but it was never going to happen. Even the new season for most us is a long way off. A vote of all clubs was taken and the season was ended. There may have been some behind the scenes shenanigans but that was the democratic decision. Can't see them winning and as said money for the lawyers pockets.

Democratic vote? Oh yes, that was when Dundee voted Yes, then voted No, or was it the other way round, whatever it was a farce.

Thistle have far more cause for complaint than Hearts. They were relegated by 0.04 of a point, had a game in hand, had played one more game away than at home and were shafted by Dundee.
But I can't see them winning in court. It will probably end with an out of court settlement, with Hearts and PT accepting 'compensation' from the SPFL with no admission of liability.

Hearts and Partick have now landed themselves in bother by starting legal action against the SPFL this breaches the SFA Articles of Association
From the sun
THE Scottish FA are set to intervene in the Hearts and Partick Thistle row after the pair breached their articles of association by pursuing a £10million legal case against the SPFL.
SunSport told you yesterday how the joint papers lodged against the SPFL by the two relegated sides at the Court of Session explicitly challenged the promotions of Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers - the three clubs who would benefit from their demotion.
Hearts supremo Ann Budge wants to halt promotion
The Tynecastle side are pursuing compensation claims of £8million and £2million respectively if they cannot be re-instated into their respective leagues.
They could also seek an interdict to halt the start of the new Premiership season on August 1 - threatening the Premiership's lucrative new broadcast deal with Sky Sports.
Article 99 of the SFA constitution - which governs 'Resolution of Disputes between Members' - insists that all disputes go before the governing body for arbitration rather than taken into the law courts.
Breaches of the articles could be punishable by 'suspension' or even 'expulsion'.

Compliance officer Clare Whyte is likely to write to the two teams in question in the first instance as the governing body ponders its next steps.
Any three clubs could also launch a members' resolution at the SPFL to proceed with potential expulsion of clubs from the league, although that process is far from straightforward.

The relevant section in the SFA rulebook reads: "A recognised football body, club, official, Team Official or other member of Team Staff, player, referee or other person under the jurisdiction of the SFA if found to have infringed the Articles shall be liable to censure or to a fine or to a suspension or to an expulsion or to ejection from the Challenge Cup Competition, to any combination of these penalties or such other penalty, condition or sanction as the Judicial Panel considers appropriate."

Stramash doesn't cover it Grant. I like to avoid the use of the word crisis and avoid dramas but there is no getting away from the fact that Scottish football is in a crisis. At a time of national emergency brought on by Covid19, the game in Scotland should have been pulling together. Instead it is pulling itself apart. The original title of this thread is reconstruction. While I have nothing against looking at the reconstruction of the leagues I would suggest that this would be the very worst time for change as at the moment we don't even know when our league will start or whether it will be behind closed doors. I don't envy our board's task in these times as it is almost impossible to make plans or set budgets. All they can do is sit tight, keep their eyes and ears open and make the right decisions for the future of the club when a picture of what next season will look like emerges.

Good to hear that the court has rejected the challenge and told the clubs to let the SFA arbitrate. This would seem to make it more likely that the clubs will be in soapy bubble for going to court in the first place.

Dundee United, Raith and Cove have asked the rest of the clubs to help pay their legal costs including 1000 each from second division clubs. Clubs are battling to survive. Get real!

There’s a GoFundMe page too for fans to donate which already raised £18,633.

Maybe it's because I've been enjoying some of my liquid birthday presents, but's what's the point of a sugar daddy if you need to set up a GoFundMe page? (I'm looking in the direction of Altens ...)

Do you really think they will win when a vote of all clubs was taken within the rules?
