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.

The UK was the first Western country to instigate a mass Covid vaccination program. Now 75% of the population of the UK has received a double-jab.
And how many died prior to vaccine introduction.it is an impressive stat.
it omits The vaccine will never be a contra to the thousands who perished through ignorance and gross neglect.
-it does not cover the corruption and cronyism with wifes,girlfriends and even michelle mone who have made fortunes out of covid- rancid rancid tory unionist skanks
and as you will go on to suggest ticking out future generations is not on.in
The death cull continues and delay in a public enquiry are noted.JHB you can gargle boris’s chunks.
keep flegwaving
Boris saved no one,is currently privatizing the nhs by debt stealth,
Britain on my reading last week was not even
in Europes top 10.
An astounding achievement!!!!!

i think it makes sense.
Celtic Football Club is delighted today to announce that Gordon Strachan will be joining the Club on a 3-month consultancy project.
Gordon will spend his time looking at our activities within our Football Academy, our Women’s Team and newly established B Team, with a view to providing recommendations to Chief Executive Dom McKay on how we can develop these areas further, feeding into wider work ongoing across the Club.
Under Chris McCart, Our Football Academy continues to operate really well as it has done for a number of years, delivering quality players who have ultimately contributed so much to the Celtic First Team. Currently, the first team squad features players such as Callum McGregor, James Forrest, Stephen Welsh and Mikey Johnston who have all come through the ranks.
Likewise, our women’s team goes from strength to strength, achieving Champions League status for the first time this year, under the fantastic stewardship of Fran Alonso and our B Team looks towards a bright future.
Celtic Chief Executive Dom McKay commented: “Like all high performance environments we never stand still and always seek development and improvement and I look forward to working with Gordon over the next three months, utilising the extensive expertise and knowledge he has to the benefit of the club.
“Gordon brings with him a wealth of experience in the areas of football development, from both his previous time here at Celtic and from the many roles he has held within Football, including as our National Team Manager.”
“Gordon achieved great things for Celtic as our Manager. It goes without saying that he has a really close connection to Celtic and of course a tremendous affection for the Club.”
Gordon Strachan added: “I am really looking forward to returning to the Club to assist in these areas. The development of young players and seeing them improve and grow is a real passion for me and I will do anything I can to support the Club in these areas.
“Great people at Celtic always do great work. I look forward to building on this work, liaising with Dom and all our Celtic colleagues once again and hope we can work together for the benefit of the Club and these teams so they ultimately can develop further and bring Celtic success.
“I also look forward to continuing my work at Dundee FC where I have established a great working relationship and close bond with the Manager, Managing Director, staff and coaches.”

Rangers are subject to the same restrictions as Celtic in order to provide a bubble for club players & officials.
WISHAW TIM on 10TH AUGUST 2021 7:12 PM
Trying to avoid a political debate because it acts as a distraction.
I presume from your comment at 7:00 that you think the Scottish Government are responsible for the Huns having a full crowd tonight.
I think you’ll find that responsibility was passed in this case to Glasgow City Council to make a final decision on numbers allowed.
Is there not some vacancy for Gordon’s wife and daughter. ? Possibly Celtic travel, or something ?
This is the era of equality after all.
The only change I see is NFL has left the building and we have a direct replacement.
HH. Back to the future.
So WGS is looking forward to continuing his work with Dundee.
Surely there must be a conflict of interest there. ?
Maybe Scott Brown can organise our youth team.
WTF is happening
Morally wrong.
Squire! nope ! sorry for not making it clear ! Burnley 78 was slating Bojo about the vaccine roll out ! was just wondering if Nicoliar and the SG were maybe using a different one !
Get Connie McLaughlin tae…on Ctv then moonlighting tae Premier.
Not for me
Just put a bet on Malmo @ 5/1 over 90 minutes. Never know.
Is tomket tires a conflict of interest with Parks who sell cars with tires ?.
😂
Olympiakos fighting off the advantages Boaby Midden gave the Bulgarians last week. Wonder why? Oh! Yes – the winner could play the Huns. Greeks 1-0 up away from home and 2-1 on aggregate.
Old foes Cluj in same situation, 1-0 up away to Young Boys and 2-1 on aggregate. Omrani scored, the lad who impressed against us.
C’mon the Olympiakos,(no betting interest)
They are the insurance policy against the monkeys.
