Eye’s oversight

596

You could be forgiven for losing track of Scottish football issues of governance, accountability and oversight, there are so many fronts to engage on. On the heels of CQN approaching Private Eye on the subject of Resolution 12 (granting of licences to participate in Uefa competitions), the newspaper today wrote about the recent Offshore Game Report on the SFA’s dealings with oldco Rangers’ tax affairs, the SPL Commission into Rangers, as well as the awarding of Uefa licences in 2011.

This is what functioning oversight looks like. Organisations with a platform to analyse those in power do so. In the Scottish goldfish bowl, we import oversight from London, which makes accountability difficult and, ultimately, makes governance ineffective.

No review of the Nimmo Smith Commission will take place until the Supreme Court has had their say, but any hopes of accountability you have at that point will rest in interest in the matter from London. We simply don’t have the structures in place here.

    I know it’s all a matter of opinions but I don’t rate Izaguirre anymore. In the last 2 games of the season the difference between KT and Izaguirre (when he came on) was huge. I think we can get a younger player that we could bring on as back up to KT.

  9. Sorry but I have missed the information on how Wullie Currie passed.

     

    May God Bless his Soul and may he rest in peace.

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!
