Another year, another damaging SFA leaked email

361

The Scottish FA has an interesting history of leaked emails.  I hear.  Today’s presentation, by that persistent thorn in the side of those who would rather awkward questions were not asked, Alex Thomson of Channel 4 News, is surely a contender for Leaked Email of the Season.

The critical words, written by SFA chief exec Stewart Regan on 23 June to various people, read:

“In parallel to the above, could Rod Petrie please brief Charles Green confidentially..”

So on 23 June, Petrie and Regan were on the onside with a plan to “gain buy-in to the plan” from SFL clubs to parachute Sevco into the First Division, and the SFA chief exec had instructed that the chief exec of Sevco was “confidentially” instructed on this plan.

On 24 June Rod Petrie’s Hibernian took plaudits for their statement of intent to reject Sevco’s application to the SPL, adding that “This re-affirms the view of the Board that the sporting integrity of the SPL is of paramount importance”.

Petrie and Regan are on the main Scottish FA board, along with former Rangers director Campbell Ogilvie (president), Alan McRae (vice-president – although I don’t think that means he is in charge of vice), Ralph Topping, Tom Johnston and Barrie Jackson.

It is no wonder our earlier calls for resignations have been echoed by SFL chairmen today.  Sack the lot of them, I’d say.

  3. So there we have it, Div 3 for 2012-13, then shoehorn into SPL the following season.

     

     

    But how can they without a football club?

     

     

    My condolences to the other clubs who have been trying legitimately to gain entry to SFL3.

    Jason Voorhees rises out of the lake, drags “Rangers” to the bottom with great justice. (thumbsup)

  8. Given the level of opposition to Doncaster and regans plans it would be incredible if they were both still in a job come November and have sufficient power and leverage to force the changes they are suggesting

     

     

    Well done Scottish football

  11. Condolences to all teams in SFL3 who will now need to fund extras for paramedics, stewarding and policing, toilet facility maintenance, increased insurance, additional physios, and enlarged bloated squads to help cope with the significant increase in career threatening injuries coming their way.

    This is the weekend that Kano is on his first holiday since falling ill. I’m not sure what access he will have to the internet but I know that Ramie will phone him any news.
