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.

Although I fair 😉 Adams pain.
The huns discovered last night the difference between champions league qualifiers and Europa league qualifiers.
For all the talk about Slippy not losing a Europa qualifier, his European record lies in tatters this morning.
That’s the harsh reality when you get beaten home and away by Malmö while having a man advantage at home.
Big Jimmy hope you are well Amigo.
Well done on the auld Malmo bet, think its every 10 years Malmo beat some sort of Hun infested mob.
I will put in my Diary for 10 years time.

………….
Cheers mate and thank you for your kind words.
I try to enjoy life as much as I can…but Ive got a HEAD START on any Huns……Im a CELTIC BHOY !
HH Mate.
Well done to TOM McLaughlin on here and any others who backed MALMO to beat the Huns…as for those who were bumping their gums on here before the match of how the Huns would win easily….
HaHaHa…
Yer boys took one hell of a beating….CHUMPS !
MON the auld Leather Belts.
Malmo want to play the Hun CHUMPS EVERY Week !
LOL
The Huns had a full hoose of support, they scored the 1st FLUKEY goal, they faced a Team with only TEN Men for 45 minutes..
So they had EVRYTHING going their way and STILL get GUBBED Big Time……MAGIC !
HH.
I’d imagine your average Sevco supporter would have had mixed feelings last night.
They saw their team totally outclassed by ten men.
But, given their love of all things military, I expect they enjoyed seeing Malmö park their tanks on the pitch.
All well and good except it doesn’t leave much room for Murdo Fraser’s tanks?
THE FOLLOWING QUOTE MADE ME LAUGH
“If Jon Dahl Tomasson isn’t throwing £50 notes at people in his
post match interview I’m going to be disappointed”
Based on very little evidence, just a few games into the season, I suspect the main challengers to us for the title will be Aberdeen with Broony purring along in the midfield.
BTW: I saw he was subbed after 44 mins in the weekend. Hope it wasn’t a serious injury. As I want him to be playing against them.
@ JHB
glad to see so many call you out. not about your miserable posts but the kind of person you are.
Im a drug addict/alcoholic, but pigeon hole myself as just ‘drugaddict.
FYI had a 2 leg multi
Celtic to win 4+ against Dundee @$5.86 and MalnoFF @$5.32
$10 @ $31.17 for a quiet $311.75 $AU (also picked up $255 on the dundee game)
Among the many on here who know the zombies are mince! and bet with hope in our heart.
PS been clean since 2013, one day at atime. live for the moment.

Genuine request to the more affluent in the CQN community ………
…….. if you have a spare pot to p1ss in
.. would you consider donating it to Sevco?
BIG JIMMY
Cheers mate. Great to hear of other Celts making money on the back of a hun catastrophe.
PARKHEADCUMSALFORD
That’s incredible. The morning after Celtic’s defeat to Mitjylland BBC Radio Scotland had a 5 minute analysis of the game and its consequences, every 30 minutes.
Their pain is our joy.
It’s quite remarkable……in shortie’s appraisal of last nights hun humbling, they mange to drag us into it…….
they also deftly introduce the possibility that the result might represent a “blip” of some sort…..kinda short-term………..whereas with us, it was straight to ” catastrophe “………………..
Aye!
( still laughin’ )
:)
Post-match press conference was notable last night for Seethin’ Gerard’s appearance.
He was sweating profusely and looked unkempt and stressed.
Trouble at mill !
Good morning to all Celts around the world.
Good to see Big Jimmy back making CHUMPS out of bookies and Huns alike
Across this and other Celtic fan sites I saw various people commenting they would help themselves to some 5/1 over 90m about Malmö, the 9/2 seemed more widely available, Evens ‘to qualify’ best on offer
Malmö cards and Hun corners was my chosen route so well done those on Winners Row this morning.
And to any Hun lurkers
GIRFUY HA HA
turned on the Malmo game just after half time (3am here) score 0-1 . 5 minutes later. 2-1
had skin in the game a watched it all.
Thought that el buffalo ‘s yellow was a red! wasnt a late tackles, he just kicked him in the shin?
the club formally known as Malmo FF will now be know as Malmo GIRUY
ParkheadcumSalford …..
There will be more long faces at Pacific Quay this morning than you’d find at the start line of the Grand National.
A penny for your thoughts Mr Wilson?
;0
Here’s a question. Would you rather Sevco sell a few players and weaken them severely this season or struggle to shift the players, making them stronger this season but the crash bigger down the line?
When you look at how hard it’s been to sell Eddie, I don’t think it’s an easy market to sell in – not for the kind of money they want.
Interesting times…..
BADGERHC
Brave post!
I really wish you all the best!
Take care and God bless.
You won’t be surprised that shorties “round up” of SMSM gossip, has only 3 negative Celtic stories;
Thomas Henry has many suitors
Eddie willing to go on a free, (c) bigbhoy
Celtic lose out on Buta as he’s going to Everton
‘‘Twas ever thus
GIRUY
Morning happiness vibes all over Celtic minded this morning, and so it should be.
As PCS stated radio shortbread oblivious to sevco’s exit last nite, expected and typical.
As mentioned this morning, the short term Strachan appointment worries me greatly. Why are we even entertaining this particular strategy? AP to consult with a part time consultant shuttling from Dundee!
Wake up Dom and hire a DOF pronto to join the journey.
HH
Jablonec game completely sold out. Can’t wait. Going to be a truly joyous atmosphere.
Congratulations to the punters who betted against the huns last night.
But were these not a bit of fun, consolation bets rather than genuine forecasts of the outcome?
And if not why were the sums bet so modest?
TOM
Is it on the telly?
I think the beeb screened the game last week because they expected us to get pumped.
There expectations this week may be different.
How is it that Midtylland go right into the Europa group stage, after losing to psv, while the likes of the huns have a playoff? Just as I write, I realise the psv v midtylland was a play off. Anyway, it gave me another reason to think about the huns last night 😂😂
How long have they been trying to punt Fat Charlie?
Years……….
Does embdy in the scoddish meeja ever refer to the bulky, sulky, shot-shy powder-puff as a “Wantaway” ???
Naw?
Funny that………….
Aye.
:)))))))))))))))))))))
BADGERHC
All the best 👍🇮🇪🍀💚
ERNIE
Does it matter?
Really?

Lots of talk about Eddie downing tools but I thought the fat Colombian was excellent last night which suggests he raises his game for the European matches. I’m sure Sevco and Morelos were hoping for the Champions League shop window too.
Hopefully, now he’ll revert to type – sulking in the stands while piling on the pounds (weight, not value).
PHILBHOY on 11TH AUGUST 2021 8:43 AM
I think most of us thought the huns would go through last night. Betting an insignificant amount of money against them is not evidence you weren’t of the same mind.
Aye awright.
