The business model of the SPFL’s new sponsor, cinch, is to sell cars directly to the public, cutting out the dealer network. Newco’s chairman owns a large car dealership which sponsors Newco (although it is not a shirt sponsor).
Newco have refused to comply with the SPFL contract by adding the cinch logo to players’ sleeves and elsewhere. They claim compliance would break an existing commercial deal, presumably with their own chairman, but have refused to provide evidence of any existing deal to the league.
League and club sponsors often conflict. While the SPFL was sponsored by Ladbrokes, Celtic had Dafabet blazoned across their chest and Newco had their own gambling partner. Newco’s position appears to be that any club with a pre-existing agreement with any one of its partners can veto a league sponsorship deal. Quite a thing, with 42 clubs, some of which have 20 commercial sponsorship partners.
It is always possible that the SPFL’s rules are poorly drafted on such matters, the SFA were able to exploit what appeared to be a clear rule before, but the League have examined their position and have escalated the issue. Yesterday, chairman Murdoch MacLennan wrote to all 42 clubs, stated the league’s position and informed clubs he had referred the matter to the SFA’s arbitration process.
If you think this all seems a bit contrived, you are not alone. Why stand and fight on such a puny hill? Newco are not the private fiefdom of their chairman, he is not Cnut (be careful), able to turn the tide against cinch, so why antagonise every non-compliant club in the league?
Newco want rid of MacLennan and especially SPFL chief exect Neil Doncaster. Neither will do their bidding. If the club can find a contractual oversight, it gives them grounds to call for their resignations, again.
There are other mattes at play; step forward Malmo manager, Jon Dahl Tomasson, who yesterday alluded to the matter we discussed in our State of the Club blog 10 days ago. Newco need Champions League money more acutely than oxygen itself. Should the wheels come off the white charger tonight, you can expect conflicts on every corner.
I never get what is it about people who think they are too special to follow rules. There is a want about them. Are we going to see pyros from the Newco directors’ box next? Seems logical. Fight The Man, even if The Man is just a salaried someone, responsible for converting advice or strategy onto structure.

Just to make it that little bit sweeter, if they had only won this round they would have been guaranteed a minimum 5m just for losing the CL play-off round.

Brilliant. Pure Dead Brilliant.
Goodnight Bhoys!
Sleep well!
If Carlsberg did Tuesdays…….
There’s definitely something going on behind the scenes it’s exactly like when we returned from dubai. I’ve heard through the grapevine that goldson and Barisic were pulled apart before the game in Sweden last week.
Oooohhh Matron.
Hankray, I thought they were limited enough as a whole but with some decent quality and a really good defensive shape.
The boy that got sent off for me was their weakest link. Gave the ball away a number of times in both legs.
But overall it shows what decent coaching, good fitness levels and tactical awareness can do without breaking any banks. I hope sevco don’t catch on to that idea. That has always been my concern about them – that they might develop sine humility and mot pander to the entitlement mentality. Last season was exceptional. They happen. But they aren’t often repeated.

JHB I thought you claimed you never abuse anyone?
Familiar with the term pot and kettle? Ya pathetic, boring tory hun.
Utter delight – just sitting here with a stupid grin on my face.
3 defeats in 3 games for crisis club Sevco. Another signing to rub it in please
Tomket Tyres Castore 32 red. Seko Vitality Bitci your Huns took one helluva … erm,
Thrashing from 10 men………. A Card game takes more than one player Dave……
Unless your playin patience…..How’s your House???
The only issue here is that we should have buried them, not relied on Malmo again…Our board have given them this chance, thankfully they messed it up :-) :-)
If “Rangers” need money maybe they could ask Charles Green for a £6..3m loan. I’m sure that he would oblige……. for auld times sake.
Fair brightened my night that did.
What a mental week… Sevco have absolutely collapsed… JHB- Stay in touch… Tell them to send someone better over next time.
This is, financially, 2 broken legs for them.
Plus, even their slower fans, will start asking why they can’t buy or sell players.
What a week and i reckon the noise at CP in Thursday will be like a message to the rest of Scottish football that last year was a blip.
We are Celtic supporters faithful through and through

Hopefully Tav, Goldson and Kent are the first to go.
B,bbbut BBCpunters telling us all they are brilliant.I am confused.
After the Hearts game I read here that Sevco were nailed on for Group Stage & also to win SPFL, there was going to be a 60/80 million swing to them & they would dominate us for years.
I also read from a different scribe that Ange would be gone by September.
Great result for us tonight, the Financial loss to them is huge, they were Banking on that money.
Celtic need to redouble efforts to strengthen team.
They are wobbling now, go for it Celtic.
The fans made all the difference.
They will be begging for the Cinch money now
I know it’s not Friday yet but does anyone mind if I play a wee tune?

Celtic crash out Rainjurz parachute in.
How long before the party pooper comes on and questions why?????
Everyone posting is Happy tonight?? lol..
From FF:
“F%@/in hell were going to end up with Derek McInnes as manager if this pish goes on.”
“ would not fck about any longer get the malmo manager in”
“ Will take some stick for this but I don’t care. James taverneir led us to 55. He can cope with a league set of games. He cannot deal with games under pressure. League cup/Scottish cup/champions League/Europa League. He was the captain when we did 55 but he’s absolutely not my rangers captain.”
“ Preseason – shambles.
Start of the season – shambles.
Transfer dealings – shambles.
Contract side show – shambles.
That crap was well worth the wait of standing in a queue for an hour because the shitey ticketing system doesn’t work.”
