That decision in Belgium makes things interesting. Probably doesn’t have a great effect on what an English court would do, as they’re more likely to take the approach of Scotland and decide it should be determined out of court. What happens with the Hearts/Partick case north of the border will be more influential, but don’t know when that is expected to resolve.
I agree that Mark has some difficult decisions to make in the best interest of the club. The EFL has washed it’s hands of any responsibility for our demotion, if they’d offered something by way of compensation, it would have been something. As they are taking Parry’s approach that our situation is all the fault of the virus, it seems that the only way we would get anything out of them is by initiating legal proceedings. If they go against us that will be at significant cost to TRFC. Who’d be the Chairman of a football club!
However, it does feel like we are already behind in preparations for next season, which could begin as early as the end of August. Again, it’s not without it’s difficulties as we don’t know what league we’re playing in and are now without a manager. While Mark’s moratorium on contract renewals and signing new players made sense a month ago, things have moved on and a number of the L2 teams have been renewing contracts and recruiting.
