The club will appeal the £15,000 fine imposed by the SPL on Wednesday over the signing of Hassan Kachloul. And Flynn blasted Dundee for their conduct over the relegation issue and demanded they accept the drop gracefully.
He said: 'Michael Jackson was given a fairer hearing than we got. We were given advice from the SPL and the SFA and they have conveniently forgotten that. If I am going to be called a cheat my accusers better have their facts right.
'The SPL told us to give Hassan a commercial job because that was the advice they had given to Kilmarnock when they signed Simon Ford on an amateur contract.
'If we'd been told it was acceptable to register Hassan as a professional, that is what we would have done.'
His outrage extended to Dunfermline chairman John Yorkston, who asked for a probe into the signing of the Moroccan. Flynn, speaking on Radio Clyde last night, said: 'Yorkston wrote to the SPL saying we had bent the rules but he bent the truth.
'He was raging because we beat Dunfermline on April30and they went bottom of the table that night. That's when he became self-righteous.
'I don't care what plans Dundee have over an appeal against the SPL's decision to fine usand relegate them.
'It's all bull **** because their only interest is in saving themselves.
'The SPL process in arriving at their verdict was a circus. I don't know what my club has been fined for doing.
'The idea of Livingston being made a scapegoat is unacceptable to me, but it won't divert us from our course.
'We'll be signing new players next week and now that the legal process is over I won't stay quiet over the matter of this fine.'
