Bud the Baker Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 SPFL statement... Quote Monday 27th July 2020 SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP ARBITRATION PANEL HANDS DOWN UNANIMOUS JUDGEMENT MONDAY, 27 JULY 2020 SPFL Chairman Murdoch MacLennan said: “The formation of this SFA Arbitration Panel was an important step for Scottish football and one which enabled a minutely detailed examination of the entire process of ‘calling the season’. “Directors and officials from the SPFL co-operated with the panel to the fullest possible extent, during which they were subjected to forensic examination by QCs, all under the scrutiny of a Senator of the College of Justice and two experienced Sheriffs. “No-one should be under any illusion about the rigorous and challenging nature of this process. I would fully expect all those involved to agree that no stone was left unturned, no allegation left unanswered. Every aspect of the various arguments put forward by both Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle was examined minutely, with full access to all relevant documents, records, emails and telephone logs. “The panel heard from many witnesses, including senior figures from across our game and three members of the SPFL executive team. Thousands of pages of evidence were considered. “I’m therefore very pleased that the tribunal unanimously held that the challenges to the written resolution of 15 April 2020 failed, and that the SPFL were entitled to pass, and give effect to, the written resolution and all that flowed from it. “Throughout the process, and whilst under the most severe pressure, criticism and media scrutiny, the SPFL has followed appropriate legal guidance and acted in accordance with the best interests of the SPFL as a whole at all times. “It is regrettable that the league had to be concluded in the way that it was. However, despite calls to the contrary from some parties, subsequent events, including the virtual shutdown of our entire country for months, confirm that there was no viable alternative. With contact training only being allowed to resume on 29 June, it was simply impossible for games to be played or for Season 2019/20 to continue. “I want to make clear that it is unfortunate the early curtailment of the season relegated Hearts, Partick Thistle and Stranraer. However, in circumstances where reconstruction was comprehensively rejected by SPFL member clubs, there was no viable alternative. I sympathise hugely with all three clubs, but given this clear and unequivocal tribunal decision, it is imperative that everyone accepts it and works together to ensure that our game can move forward and tackle the enormous and continuing challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.” SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “This is a clear, comprehensive and unanimous decision. “I am absolutely delighted that our approach has been vindicated throughout, following an intense period of legal scrutiny and review. “It has been a very demanding process, but I had complete confidence in the actions and decisions of the SPFL board and the SPFL executive team.” BACK TO NEWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Monster Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hearts and Thistle relegated - just confirmedHearts & Partick Thistle each fined £2,500 for starting court battle - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53677459Can't see them appealing that. Certainly at the lowest level of punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfellow Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 The Aberdeen postponement is going to be the first of many due to Covid this season. There is no way this league will be played to a finish. The SPFL have crammed in even more fixtures than necessary including deciding to play the league Cup. There are very few free spaces to play postponed games. The obvious solution is to call the season now with us finishing equal third. Excellent season.

With an extra Champions league spot next season, I'd maybe hang on a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland also has an extra Europa League place next season so we should be looking at finishing,at worst,5th.Failing that I’d take a 10th place finish and the Scottish Cup. 🏆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
