Is there anything to stop Hibs (or others) from proposing a reconstruction of 12-12-10-10 starting 1 Aug for the prem (which is unchanged) and starting this October for the other 3 leagues?
It would make all of Partick's troubles disappear & resolve pretty much all sporting integrity issues (hearts were relegated fairly by their own vote) while not stuffing up the top flight, where many teams have enjoyed record season ticket sales & great trophy wins in recent years.
So, could Hibs propose 12-12-10-10 to save Scottish football?

Sporting Integrity, old chap.
Plus it removes any allies Hearts might have had in their squabble with the SPFL. Which most likely means less money paid to them in compo, which means less money taken away from the other SPFL members to pay for it...including Hibs.

The legal case is nothing other than a childish distraction. Football in Scotland could effectively die off and we are talking about Partick and Hearts...baffling...
Hearts' control of the media is quite impressive though I must say. Control over narrative is very powerful.

Very true especially when the vote was 26 - 16 yet all the media momentum seems to be with them.
I don't understand why someone in the press or media looks at this from a different angle really digging down in to the story.

There is still time for Partick to propose 12-12-10-10, given that the lower leagues won't start until October.
There's no reason for the top league to oppose it as there will be no effect on any of its clubs.
The problem I'd have with backing them is that they've decided to join Hearts in declaring war on the SPFL for having the temerity to respect the democratic wishes of its members. And that could cost them vital votes.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

It’s the same as Hearts - if it had been QotS at the bottom, we wouldn’t have heard a peep about ‘how unfair it all is’.

Patrick have made their bed. I just hope they realise what they are doing and the consequences.

League reconstruction is done. Partick have got into bed with Hearts. Hell mend them. Only club I'm interested in helping is Hibs.

Presuming the same guy who helps Hearts has is helping Partick?

What's more, their challenge is doomed from the very start.
This will be an extremely expensive affair for the philanthropist.

I’ve never bought in to the love in for cuddly wee Partick. But I can find a good reason to dislike every club that isn’t Hibs.Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

I get the sentiment but it sounds a wee bit Jambo

Bet they don't find 1 team that voted for reconstruction as it was the "right thing to do".
Hibs lost £125k out of ending the season early. Don't hear anyone sympathising with us.

Appreciate the replies here, but really, Partick's situation is a million miles removed from hearts.
Partick were asked to postpone a league game (their game in hand) to help the league manage someone else's fixture congestion.
Hearts on the other hand were terrible for 18/19/20 months & at 4 points adrift with 8 games to play were likely to finish 8-10points adrift in bottom spot.
Partick's league may choose not to play at all in 20/21.
So I would personally support 12-12-10-10 to support them in this.
Their fatal error was hitching their skirt to hearts 14-10-10-10 that was a **** idea.
But 12-12-10-10 rights every single wrong.
Hearts fans may cry into their cardigans but 12-12-10-10 gives everyone what they actually deserve

Everyone seems to agree with the Thistle plight, and I fear courts will see that too!!!

No - it’s about putting self interest aside at this time of crisis.

I get that this thread is about having a dig at Hearts, but there’s still a need for re-construction IMO. Now isn’t the time to do it as there’s more pressing things to focus on like clubs surviving and getting people back into stadiums etc.
However, when things begin to settle again I’d like to see proper reconstruction talks. Here’s what would be on my agenda:
• 16/18 team league
• SPFL run independently from the clubs (Maybe we could then listen to people like Barry Hearn, who knows how to sell a product)
• Change to voting rules
• Financial fair play introduced
• Quota of homegrown players (think Holland has a gentleman’s agreement on this
* Review of prize money distribution

His family still have all the money and are presumably minded to continue their support?

To get all that, it would first have to be voted through by the SPFL, with 11 votes in favour.
The Old Firm will vote against, so it will go nowhere.
Remember to thank Aberdeen for retaining that scenario.
