Dave King’s self-flagellation

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Self-flagellation:

SPFL: “Rather than attempt to communicate through the media, it is far more appropriate that any substantive issues are presented to the SPFL board for careful and detailed consideration, based on a sound legal analysis of the facts.”

Translated: Whip.

SPFL: “To date, there has been no such representations to the SPFL board and it notes Mr King’s statement of 30 May.

Translated: Whip.

SPFL: “In its statement of 29 May, Rangers FC claimed “a business relationship”, existed between the SPFL chairman and minority shareholders in a SPFL club, despite no evidence of such a relationship being presented. There is no mention of the previously claimed “business relationship” in the 30 May statement.

Translated: Whip.

SPFL: “In the 30 May statement the central allegation has now become that “there was non-disclosure of the conflict that immediately arose when the SPFL chairman accepted” his appointment as a non-executive director of International News & Media PLC (“IN&M plc”). As with the 29 May statement, no detail was provided to support this allegation.

SPFL: “Within the space of about 24 hours two different and very public allegations have been made against the SPFL chairman without, in either case, an approach first being made to the SPFL with concerns or seeking clarification.”

Translated: Whip.

To you or me this would be embarrassing.  The SPFL know the rules.  In fact, they wrote the rules, so if you are going to go off like a paranoid loon, know your territory, get it right, be consistent, remember what you wrote yesterday before launching into another issue today.

The days when the likes of Jim Farry (or the many who followed him) ran Scottish football are over.  There are professionals in place now.  Murdoch MacLennan has been a senior executive of large companies for decades.  He was a member of the Commission on Scottish Devolution, is an Honorary Professor at the Glasgow University Business School.

Unlike Dave King, he has no criminal convictions.

I would also like to point out some of the reporting on this:

“Record Sport broke the story Doncaster would be standing by MacLennan, despite news emerging of the 69-year-old’s links with Desmond and fellow shareholder Denis O’Brien.”

Ask yourself this: on what basis could the SPFL act against Murdoch MacLennan?  It would be more accurate to say “Neil Doncaster and others on the SPFL board have no choice but to stand by MacLennan as no evidence of wrong-doing whatsoever has been presented.”

And, no evidence of links with Dermot Desmond or Denis O’Brien have been provided.  There are no such links, only innuendo.   King may as well have said, “They go to the same synagogue” [they don’t, of course].

Stay classy, Dave.  I’m sure outbursts like this are a sign that your troubles are all under control, but stop this self-flagellation nonsense.

    Just attempting to understand you’re rationale on it but none the wiser I’m afraid.

    Gerrard is away ‘scouting’ … isn’t he actually doing his coaching course, and isn’t he a year away from finishing that?

     

     

    Does he not need the badge to be a manager?

     

     

    Genuinely don’t know the answer.

    I can really do without conflict now but. Brendan was uber professional in Israel.

    I will take the hint and leave it be but do me one favour, ease up on you’re pro Israel posts.

     

    Given recent events in Gaza I find them insulting to be honest.

     

    I’ll give you the last word on it if you care to do so, if not it’s fine by me.

    I was responding to you’re post in which you stated you’re love of Israel, you brought it to the blog.

     

    Don’t be daft

    I dislike the SNP Big Time.

     

     

    I dislike those that are working through secretive means.

     

     

    I Really Dislike those that…. you know the jibber jabber, if not you should by now.

     

     

    Group sh!t is horrible in my view.

     

     

    Thats why I am who I am…… Certainly not the Lunatic Lucifer who uses capitalised I AM to capture innocents.

     

     

    I hope Tony Ralston can step up this coming Season.

    GUYFAWKESAFOREVERHERO @ 10:23 PM,

     

     

    It’s easy to make a knee jerk post, we all do it…

     

     

    Obviously you have a point but compared to say TSFM it’s fairly mild on here.

     

     

    The fact is we should be talking more about Celtic, the Rangers “obsession” is dysfunctional but as long as they’re getting away with it the fact is Scottish Football is dysfunctional.

     

     

    Never let your heart felt feelings and contributions be undermined – unfortunately there are too many ready to do just that -we’ve lost too many good ghuys because of it…

     

     

    You are 100% on the PL podcast and Celtic, we have more than enough good positive things happening a Celtic to fill the blog…

    I don’t LOVE Israel

     

     

    I do support 100% Israel’s right to exist

     

     

    I do understand the argument for Zionism

     

     

    I do support the creation of a Palestinian state

     

     

    There is no good sides or bad sides just millions of threatened and frightened people

     

     

    I understand that this insight makes the solution no more likely

    Good morning friends.

     

    I read in the online press (so it must be true) that the primary reason for Stevie Gee being in France at the moment is that he’s still studying for his UEFA Pro-Licence, hoping to get his licence next Summer?

     

    Now, according to ole Wiki, “A UEFA Pro Licence is required for anyone who wishes to manage a football club in the top tier of any European nation’s league system on a permanent basis, i.e. more than 12 weeks (the amount of time an unqualified caretaker manager is allowed to take control). Such a licence is also required to manage in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.”

     

    Hmmmmmmm
