On the day that the SPFL have released the Premiership fixture list for 2020/21, which is scheduled to start on 1st August, instead of looking forward and planning for the forthcoming season, the executive team and Board at the Club are embroiled in preparation work for the SFA arbitration process that starts this week in respect of the action raised by Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle.

As confirmed in our joint statement on Friday, we, along with Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, were pleased with Lord Clark’s decision to refer the dispute to arbitration, however we remain incensed that we are having to devote considerable time and incur significant legal costs in defending this action. Together we have already incurred costs of over £50,000, and face further legal fees for the arbitration process that could take the total bill to over £150,000.

Given the serious financial implications of these escalating legal costs for Raith Rovers, Cove Rangers and ourselves, the three clubs have considered withdrawing from the arbitration process and allowing the expert panel of arbiters to judge the case raised by Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle without any submissions from us in defence of our case. However, we believe (and our external legal advisors have confirmed same) that there is too much at stake to not defend our position against the Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle petition, which is seeking to reverse a decision that was made by 81% of the SPFL member clubs.

If successful in their action, in our opinion Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle would compromise the sporting integrity of the SPFL with clubs having been declared champions of their league not being promoted. Having won the Championship by a considerable margin, and invested substantial sums of money in preparing for next season in the Premiership, a decision to overturn the SPFL resolution that was supported by 34 of the 42 member clubs would be ruinous for us and our fans.

Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle could also be awarded significant sums in terms of compensation. Their compensation claim is for a total of £10 million. For the SPFL and its member clubs this would have potentially catastrophic consequences, with any compensation payment made to Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle being paid directly out of SPFL funds that are distributed to all clubs each season as prize money.

It is with these factors in mind, that, along with Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, we are reaching out to our fellow member clubs for support in defending this action, which has not only potentially grave consequences for us, but every SPFL club. We also intend running a crowdfunding campaign to raise money to help fund the huge legal bills that we face. We hope that as well as our own supporters, fans of clubs across Scotland will see this as a worthy cause to get behind in that if Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle are successful in their action it could have serious ramifications for the whole of Scottish football.

Get it right fucking up them. They are but mere poodles yapping at Lawwell's leisure.

 

[bearspakora]

I thought their owner was some billionaire Yank ? Why are they begging for money ?

 

[Super Ally Does It Again]

I mean they actually used the term sporting integrity just wow.

They were all warned so they can all burn.

 

[OZ1872]

That's actually embarrassing from them...

 

[bkerr72]

Sporting integrity line is my favourite as they were promoted via vote where is the 'sporting integrity' in that? They could have voted in favour of the independent investigation that we offered to pay they voted no. Good luck finding the money to pay your costs...

 

[SuperGers07]

Make no mistake. Let that club burn

 

[Jedi]

To hell with them, I hope Hearts and Partick win and cause that horrible little club as much pain as possible.

 

[EH47]

Hopefully hearts and Partick win the case demoting them back down. They wouldn’t last more than a few weeks with their debt.
I would travel all the way from Edinburgh every week just to shop in the new Tannadice Tescos.

I would be astonished if Hertz and thistle win this TBH, even though I firmly believe they are the wronged parties.

 

[ItsInTheNet]

 

[Calvinist]

Oh the irony of them calling for sporting integrity while being quite happy to relegate a team with a game in hand.

spot on . Happy to relegate thistle who were 2 points behind with a game in hand and then block reconstruction keeping Dundee fc down , who had voted to hand United the championship and they celebrated by drinking corona beer

Scottish football is a hate filled cesspit

 

[turps100]

Celtic publicly stated that the SPFL did a brilliant job. They should pay the legal bills. This is where the clubs who have done their bidding find out the snake they have been dealing with.

 

[Kilwinnin ranger]

Fk Em.... lol

 

[Bounty Hunter]

Sporting integrity. Like it was written by Peter himself

 

[eeboh]

Sporting integrity of the spfl ?!!? Oh my good God.

 

[Marvellous Marvin]

I will donate the steam off my s**te.

 

[nublu2u]

Smell the fear in that statement. Advised to be legally represented at the arbitration, lovely!

 

[Gauche.]

You won nothing and from me you shall receive nothing.
Sporting integrity means victory fair and square, not being gifted success by corrupt officials.
Your manager and sporting director celebrating a unearned promotion with a Corona on a day when almost 800 people died in the UK is a measure of your morals, yet you seem oblivious as to how your begging and patter about integrity will rightly be questioned.

 

[giogaddi]

Have to say the line "ruinous for the club and its fans" has turned me on.

KARMA, Luvvin it I Hope the Dundee celtic go bust

 

[GourockBlue50]

They didn’t win anything...

By any margin. What a total spin. Liewell must have written that for them.

 

[RobbieRFC]

“Having won the Championship by a considerable margin, and invested substantial sums of money in preparing for next season in the Premiership, a decision to overturn the SPFL resolution that was supported by 34 of the 42 member clubs would be ruinous for us and our fans.“

Leaving aside the fact that they never won the Championship how you do invest substantial amounts of money in less than 24hr’s?
I’m being generous with 24 because it was a lot less than that before the vote turned into a total shitshow.

 

[KGR98]

Love some fucking Arab tears hope it's the end for them and the damage to Scottish football is irreparable

 

[nublu2u]

I'm sure Dundee Hibs legal team have realised the SPFL have made a right arse of this and there could be serious consequences. Magnificent.

 

[jim_baxter1960]

Sounds like the fat Japanese has told them they're doing it then dumped them.

 

[Mview83]

We should bid the £150k they need for Shankland as a piss take

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

#GERRITRIGHTFUCKINUPYEES

 

[Baldrick]

 

[giogaddi]

Have they been spending money they don't have then?

 

[Hank]

I know where my £500 Covid payment is going.

Not those cu.nts, that’s for sure

 

[El Bufalo]

Don’t really see what the %^*& Hearts and Thistle’s case has to do with those fuds.

 

[Gary]

 

[otherworld0101]

How embarrassing.

You’d chuck them a few coppers into their bowl and the cunts would be saying.... can we have some more please.

What a brass neck.

 

[SB·]

"in our opinion Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle would compromise the sporting integrity of the SPFL"

Ah yes, because the original SPFL decision was just dripping with sporting integrity. Drenched in the stuff.

 

[superallythe2nd]

Yassssss

Possibly the greatest GIF ever.

 

[si72]

Hurry up and die ya dirty scummy bastards.

Am sure uncle peter will help them out! Some money and couple of players on free loan.

 

[Baba Booey]

If only someone like big, bad Rangers would offer to pay for an investigation into the goings on without ANY cost to teams like Dundee Utd. Oh wait...!

 

[Going456]

Well one club has access to a potential 30m - they should be Utd's first and only call

It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if an offer came in from them.

 

[Brahim Hemdani's Granny]

Imagine the brass neck talking about sporting integrity when your team has just been promoted without earning that right.

Absolutely shameless

 

[Ardsman]

Pathetic club. It’s hilarious.

 

[Mview83]

Have they not just agreed compensation for their new manager?

[Trueblueal]

We considered pulling out of the process and not paying the lawyers the £150k they'll earn but when we asked the lawyer's who are due to skin us for £150k they advised us we should definitely pay them £150k.

They can go and take a flying f*ck to themselves. Wankers.
