Abject failure of leadership

1038
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

After they hatched their plan to blackmail Scottish Football League clubs into voting Newco into the First Division, Stewart Regan, Neil Doncaster and David Longmuir might have paused to wonder what reaction they would receive.

You better believe they didn’t anticipate the reaction today from Clyde and Raith Rovers.  Rovers chairman, Turnbull Hutton, told BBC Scotland’s Jim Spence, “If we are at the stage of bending rules and accommodating, threatening and blackmailing, we want to give it up.”

“Bending rules… threatening… blackmailing…we want to give it up”.

Hutton went on to suggest heads should roll at the SFL, SFA and SPL.  He’s the first from within the football establishment to call for sackings but he’ll not be the last.

An extensive statement by Clyde FC concluded, “The papers include a proposal to allow a Newco to enter the 1st Division. This is contrary to the rules of the SFL and nothing within the papers justifies this proposal.”

Regan, Doncaster and Longmuir will now be contemplating that their bully-boy tactics will fail. SLF clubs will vote against their recommendations and SPL clubs will not stop promotion from the lower leagues based on merit.  It looks like abject failure of leadership.

    My point was that our squad is currently no more bloated than WBA’s, Roy Hodgson’s old team, because it includes a lot of under 21’s int he list, unlike the EPL equivalent.

     

     

    Nonetheless I think the EPL rule on limiting a number of senior pros, they set the limit at 25, would leave more room for youngsters to be blooded. we did well last year in seeing players like Forrest, McGeoch and Watt make significant contributions to what was already a young squad. We now need to leave room for Ibrahim, Twardzik, Toshney and some surprise packages to get their chance too.

    Superb.

     

    Have we ever seen a more undignified

     

    collapse as this.

     

    Have they no self respect left.

     

    You can’t wait for the next eejit to step up

     

    proclaiming how they are going to save a dead club.

     

    Bring on Gaza.

    It’s a good point.

     

    Hopefully next season we can see some of the young Bhoys getting game time. Not becauses of a lack of competition, but because they are worthy of the jersey.

    True, and it needs to be proved.

     

    And from what I’ve just heard tonight, Monday may be even more interesting than I had thought…

     

    —————————————————————————–

     

    I’m an ex member of the SFA’s technical association and if what i’ve been told tonight they are up shit creek on this issue but contact not sure about what can be proved. apparently Gordon Smith and Petrie very concerned whilst Ogilvie remains calm.

     

    We’ll soon know! one way or he other.

    This is getting a bit strange.

     

    Bobby could pass a ball but not sure

     

    if he could it as accurately as Pirlo.

    bjmac,

     

    I dont understand you insistence that I justify my decisions to you,

     

    or that it is even your concern, I said earlier I did not know how I would reach my decision.

     

    Unless there is an overt outright decleration from the board, I’m still no sure, but I note that is one post you refuse to take into account.

     

    For some reason you think I find it easy to deny myself going to see the team I love, the only one hurting here is me. You refuse to admit I might actually be simply what I say I am, a Celtic supporter who feels disenfranchised by the boards actions since the old firm joint sponsorship and subsequent treatment of the support which I feel had been particularly shoddy to say the least, very Celtic minded of you.

     

    The only reason I can come up with, for you persistent attacks is I once had a go at one of your pals in the peewee supporters assoc, as I’ve noticed an increased hostility from you and quite a few other members of said clique.

     

    Well that and the fact you appear to have no principals whatsoever, your happy to be treated like an insignificant money pig with no rights to object, you’ve bough the ticket and will countenance no discussion that the board have acted in any whay but honorably, denigrading anyone whose opinion differs, especially mine, hence my drinking partner analogy.

     

    Now your playing the most juvinile game of the lot, the last word.

     

    As for my refusal to accept MWD’s apology, I thought I made my reason quite clear, obviously not clear enough for you, however MWD got it, strange that, no.

     

    Now I’m quite happy to carry on this wee war of attrition if thats what you want, but suggest you put it behind you and move on, maybe even try and find common ground, I doubt that will happen. so happy to call it quits, but available for any way you want to play this.

     

    Now you dont remember me apologising, I dont think you will need to ask too many people, even in your own clique for witnesses for my contrition.

     

    Now if your memory can stretch as ar back as october, can you remind the blog who stood up for the manager while all around he was being scapegoated for all the ills of Celtic, I’ll give you time on that one, then repeat your charges about my lack of love for my team.
