"Hot off the press" - arbitration goes against both footie clubs and bad news for the Jags and Hertz fans to mull over!! Even any form of compensation is doubtful and the words "force majeure" came to mind from the very beginning when Budge and Deans started whining about all the issues that were not Budge's or HMFC's fault!! Force majeure normally applies to contract obligations or insurance policies that can be declared void due to unforeseen natural disasters/crises. These clowns should have read the rules from the very beginning incl going to arbitration instead of a civil law court! I suspect they may get some form of compensation out of leniency rather than any formal obligation to do it. However, they may be forced to pay the costs of such a flawed exercise in which they just "didn't do their homework" in gleaning the facts as well as alienating many people in Scottish footie.
