They threw everything they had into this season to try and prevent this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They know the game is up, whether we finish the fixtures or the season is ended on a points per game basis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Therefore they are desperate to have the season declared null &amp; void to achieve stopping 10 in a row.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However COVID-19 has provided them with an opportunity of a backup plan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Null &amp; void.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However they know null &amp; void is not a likely outcome. As we all know, it has been written about extensively, Sevco are in serious financial trouble. I believe we would already have witnessed an insolvency event if they hadn\u2019t deferred their players wages for 3 months.(Remember players wages deferral is a debt which will have to be paid regardless of any insolvency outcome if they want to restart in football).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They are currently engaged in a false dispute with the SPFL based on fake evidence. It\u2019s that fake that it doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They are demanding that senior SPFL officials be suspended without any evidence of malpractice being produced by them whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In other words they are playing the part of a jury demanding the judge incarcerate them without ever hearing the evidence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They are backed in these claims by a compliant SMSM who are acting as the PR Dept of Sevco.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is especially the case of BBC Sport Scotland, who have agreed to do so in return for access to SEVCO especially to Slippy G.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why have they decided on this ludicrous policy?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is my contention that they are on the scorched earth policy because they want to have other clubs suffer insolvency events.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If they can achieve this then the SPFL can be persuaded to suspend all penalties involved with clubs coming through an insolvency event, namely points deduction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An insolvency event for Sevco will be bad enough but the points deduction would be disastrous. Can you imagine trying to sell Season Books to the Sevcovians where they would be already in a financial deficit to Celtic and then knowing they would be in points deficit before a ball was kicked?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If they can achieve undermining the SPFL they can also have their friends at the SFA move in and takeover the running of the leagues in the aftermath of their scorched earth policy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Only one problem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The SPFL and the clubs are not playing ball. Their scorched earth policy is doomed to failure. They will use this refusal by the SPFL to wage a war of attrition by claiming to their hoards that they have been cheated, hoping that the hoarded back them through insolvency.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line is reality wins in the end.<\/p>\n<p>If they do survive an insolvency they will do so as a much reduced entity without the resources to compete with Celtic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For me a happy ending would be if they didn\u2019t survive an insolvency. However in these extraordinary times I\u2019ll take what I can.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jelly and Ice Cream all round.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Timposter looks behind the bluff and counter bluff to examine a possible motive at Ibrox &nbsp; &nbsp; So what are Sevco up to? &nbsp; First&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":15627,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/766afd90656ed41073e1b71de08852a5.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2J7If-442","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15626"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15626"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15626\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15628,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15626\/revisions\/15628"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
