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.

Sionnaigh,
If he wants to go – fair dos, he seems ideal for Ange’s way of doing things, he is letting them be as expressive as possible. Sunday was Fantasticque and he disnae even have his squad yet.
I’d go back to the J-Leauges for 1 more 1st teamer and perhaps an up and comer. As Everyone saw, Kyogo is gonnae be a Massive player for Celtic.
Abada has started well too and he is just a whuppersnapper at the mo.
I think we have a Very special Manager in charge.

No disrespect to you but I’m sick fed up reading this pish. Most quality transfer window signings (players with a sell on fee) go right down to the end of the transfer window, unless you have a PSG et al bank balance.
Now there’s a blast from the past

Celtic40me,
I thought the only thing keeping Gerrard here was Champions League football.
Now it’s gone what are the benefits to him staying?
The club will probably have to sell players and if he wins the league then it’s not seen as a big deal as we are going through a transition period…
He can’t really improve his reputation unless he wins the Europa, or takes them into the quarter (minimum) or semi finals.
It’s absolutely brilliant 😂

All I know is he’s been buoyed (as apposed to bhoyed) by the interest in him and a close eye is being kept on by would be interested parties.
Either way, we wont lose out (financially), but it will probably go to the deadline wire. Ed’s not too happy about the prospect of Southampton and is also holding out apparently.
MAJESTIC – cheers – I just watched some Tube highlights and thought the lad was indeed Innocent for his second booking where Goldson conned the ref.
BTW guys, which broadcaster had the official game last night where Craigan was co-commenter?
The main commentator didnt even hide his energetic pro-Gers bias saying ‘this is the noise WE wanted to hear’ after it bounced in offa Alfie’s neck – mibby that was TRFC TV or summit??
Well on the good news front, mibby Everton will target Captain Tav for RB leaving us to bring Buta in to see if he can wrest the shirt from terrific Tony R !

QUADROPHENIAN
Before it bounced in off Alfie’s neck, he clearly pushed the defender in the back, sending him to the floor. He does this repeatedly, and rarely gets called for it. That was their first slice of luck, or result of brown envelope transfer. The second was the ludicrous sending off of Innocent.
They contrived to waste both. That’s what makes it so sweet!
McGregor has always been prone to mistakes, & shit games – hes had a few great games over his career and some big saves in big matches but every single season he’s good for a handful of howlers – made all the more entertaining with his mad stupid ragin antics

Want me to post my family chat thread? Think one or two of them stated “this implosion is going to be epic. Sit back.”
So away ye go. Many more said it on here, they will get found out. We unfortunately helped them not being found out but found out the faithful knew they would be and they were.
What’s the big hold up getting rid of Eddie , is no one really wanting him . Terrific player that he was by his attitude he is no longer any good to us which Is a great pity . Watched a you tube piece on the boy Henry , looks the type we are calling out for , But probably be like others fitting the bill we will lose out . Sweet dream for us all tonight HH
Off to watch Celebrity Masterchef because……..Bez.

To be fair quality players get angrier the more mistakes they make, especially the older one gets. McGregor’s a gold mine for us this season so long as he sticks it out.

JHB on 10TH AUGUST 2021 9:58 PM
Totally surprised and delighted. Malmo were tremendous – deserved to go through.
So many ‘sweetie wives’ making the same point. No one would have predicted this result at the start….and less than no one at half-time.
…………….
You are WRONG yet again. I took Malmo to win last night as a SINGLE Bet but I got the ” Correct Score ” wrong as I took MALMO to Win “3-2″, but I was STILL MORE Right than you were in your Favourable Pre Match Predictions…HaHa.
I havent read back fully yet, but I can read/see that the Poster ALSO backed Malmo to win……so you were/are WRONG AGAIN when you stated that ” NO ONE would have predicted this result at the start”….
I think that I can safely assume that there was many Celtic fans who ALSO backed Malmo to WIN….
You MUST be STILL be Sick from last night……
LMAO
” Sweetie Wives” on here ? You wouldnt call me that to my face…or anyone else’s and you KNOW it !
The Huns scored Two goals against Malmo in the two games…The first was the heavily deflected injury time goal in Sweden, and as for Morelos last night…The ball hit the BACK of his HEID…and he knew little or nothing about it….
The huns Two goals were Flukes.
Im STILL Laughing at those UNIONIST Huns ( especially) on here and the 51,000 angry MUGS who were at Ipox last night…I suspect I will be laughing for days to come ?

TOM MCLAUGHLIN on 10TH AUGUST 2021 9:51 PM
3 defeats in a row? Bet they’re glad they’re playing Dunfermline on Friday.
Then again, maybe not.
£50 in my back pocket. Thank you Malmo 😎
……….
Well done Tom…I also backed Malmo….AND I won another £40 on the Jockey Willliam Buick last night as he won THREE races.
According to that CHUMP ” JHB”…and I quote…” NO ONE would have predicted that result”…yet again the so called ” EXPERT” on here was 100% WRONG….again !
LOL
HH.
Stevie Gerrard your team took one helluva a beating and
against 10 men
Just cant get this smile off my face this morning
wonder why

JHB I thought you claimed you never abuse anyone?
Familiar with the term pot and kettle? Ya pathetic, boring tory hun.
………..
You are CORRECT TIMMY BHOY..
The BEST that this HUN Chump ” JHB” can come up with is that we are ” sweetie Wives” and ” Pathetic Bores”…becxause we simply pointed out how WRONG HE was again with his pre match predictions.
The chump MUST have lost Two Bob on the huns last night…and is STILL Greetin this morning.
LMAO.
HH.
My friends in Celtic,
Much as I delight on the huns latest defeat, I am more interested in my club.
A 3 month consultancy appointment is an absolute joke. After all our talk, is this seriously the best we can do ?
How can a Technical Director of an SPL club work for another SPL club without a conflict of interest ?.
The timing is also an insult to the integrity of our game. After Sundays game, If I were a Dundee supporter I would be asking moral and legal questions
Who appointed WGS ? Who is he answerable to ?
Was AP comfortableand agreeable to this board oversight
Only my opinion, others may disagree but I think it stinks on so many levels.
HH..
Radio Scotland managed to avoid mentioning THAT football match last night during their sports bulletin. You couldn’t make it up.

Good to see you back on here again in recent days.

Agreed, I love GS but that’s a bizarre appointment, who is making these decisions and what overall strategy are they based upon?
Congratulations Big Jimmy love seeing tims taking money from the bookies.
Wiggy Smith on radio 4 – “now have to get a good run in uefa league, we made about £27 million there last year”. What f#*#*#*cin planet is he on!
Shortbread last night had four ex huns as the punditry team commenting on the sky TV coverage. Do you think r5 would have a similar approach for an English team? Not a fecking chance.
