Michel Platini’s Financial Fair Play initiative at Uefa has been one of the more inspiring developments at the top of our game for decades. It brought spending into line with income throughout the English game and punished what Platini called financial doping.
It has been so effective, Platini now promises to relax the rules. The blame does not all sit with Platini. Uefa are dealing with 10 legal challenges to the rules, with complainant clubs citing European Law in their defence. The big football powers are split. The English appear in favour of FPP (Manchester City aside), while many stressed clubs across Europe are in opposition.
The concept of living within your means is still resisted in our game, not just in barred hold-outs in Scotland.

Spend what?
If it were ever needed, today’s SFA statement is yet further proof that the administration of Scottish football is performed solely and openly for the benefit of a single club.
This was a comical pretense of an investigation.
Raspberry …. not sure they would even need them … they could put out 11 juniors and you can bet that the first time we face them in the league (which will be the first time ever in the league), they will get 3 penalties, at least 2 celts sent off, and and too many fouls called/not called (to help the zombies) …. and if that isn’t enough to ensure they win, the next game, it will be 4 penalties, and 3 sending offs…. and so on, until they get the result they want/need.

An appropriate, short musical interlude…

17s V Hearts at Barrowfield ko is at 7pm not 6
There’s a perfect symmetry to this.
A broken organisation has sanctioned a broken businessman to run a broken football club.
Better and better, every day.
the new theme music for Scottish Football …

Except for the old saying …. you sleep with dogs, you get fleas ….
at some point, being associated with this crap is going to start tarnishing and diminishing our club …

My thoughts exactly

Raspberry …. as well you should …. and as we all should
its not an either/or situation …. we need people who can laugh at them…. but we also need people like Neg and Canamalar, who maybe dont laugh so much, but do an important job by putting t their and our board’s feet to the fire ….
both do an important job…
I do worry that our board are selling us down the river, but, for now, I am happy to join you in laughing as DK steals their last pot to piss in..
Can I Have Raspberry On That Champions League Ice Cream
And Greeninbingley
They will be promoted
They should have went out of business last year there still ere
I’ve no doubt they will find funds
Devastated that Dave King has been appointed hillbilly #1
…have they not been punished enough?
I see the SFA have never heard my mam say “when you are in a hole stop digging”.
The Corrupt cabal on the 6th floor of Hapden have just lobbed to big “square mouth” shovels into the hun pit, their aren’t many I would rather be at the helm of Sevco than the “Glib and shamless liar”.
Big Mash will be pleased :))))))
Let the fun continue CSC
Well once again corrupt Scottish football finds in favour of the deed club they have found the lying King fit and proper to be the Chairman of Scotlands establishment club.So will things change in Scottish football and a level playing field be introduced absolutely no chance.The fans of clubs other than the Ibrokes mob will find cheating as normal is the rule of the day and they will pay there money to be cheated as per usual.I think many decent fans will walk away from football rather than give there hard earned cash to see the team they support being cheated.H.H.
Laughing stock of world football.
It was always expected though, as the governing body in scoddish football are suspect to say the least.
The Corrupt cabal on the 6th floor of Hampden have just lobbed two big :((
till later all
ps i know huns who will be gutted at the news that the “glib & shameless liar” has been given the nod by our glib & shamless administrators
Another ristretto and San Pellegrino frizzante break.
To quote my PTFC pal –
” Anybody who entertained the possibility of a -No – clearly knows SFA re the SFA.”
Back to work CSC – way down south.

Campbell Ogilvie might just step down now his work is nearly done.

How can someone be convicted by a judge of 44 counts of tax evasion, fraud and racketeering, and in so doing be called “mendacious, a glib and shameless liar” by the same judge, yet be considered “fit and proper” by the SFA?
Dead simple.
By the SFA’s own standards anyone is fit and proper.
Dave King of Africa….The new Cecil Rhodes.
Fit and Proper.
Highly amusing.
No surprises there.
Its the old entitlement revived…i.e…Let us Cheat, or else.
Proud hun tradition of cheating and corruption, its what they are all about.
Watch them bend the rules now.

Evening Burgas,
The world isn’t interested. Scottish football doesn’t resonate.
As usual. Celtic will have hee haw to say about it.
Roll on the bigot pound.
SDB @ 16:53,
Agreed, most times it’s just best scroll by – sometimes I like to put the nonsense in some sort of perspective. Waste of time I know.
Still nice to know the man-with-the-plan is on Board down Ibrox way. Let the fun begin….
Again….
Hail Hail
The pot has just called the kettle fit and proper.
I Couldn’t give 2 hoots about King or Rangers or Sevco.or whatever they are called .Celtic Football Club is all I’m interested in.on and off the park.
DBBIA.
Beautiful Americana – recently reissued.
Kenny Knight – Crossroads ( Paradise of Bachelors CD / Lp..)
A gem – well worth a record token.
I think we should now invite Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac onto our board and see if Madoff fancies a job too.In all honesty, this sets a precedent that means no one can possibly be considered inappropriate to run a Scottish club, ever.
Hearing that Nick Leeson and Bernie Madoff (both pre-approved) have applied for post of Financial Director of TRFC, and that Max Clifford front runner for PR Director.
Also Harold Shipman, Joseph Mengele and Dr Cripin are being considerd for post of Club Doctor. Seems that being a deceased mass murderer still does not disqualify them from being Fit and Proper according to SFA spokesman !
It changes nothing.
We know the SFA are corrupt.
We know King has no money.
We know Ashley is the only one making profit.
We all know Rangers are dead.
We know Sevco are next in the common grave.
You really do have to wonder what you’d have to do to be barred by the SFA… Murder someone?
South of Tunis- will check out.
Currently gettin’ my head round news that bloke from Shangri La is winchin’ wee Taylor S.
Quite right TIMbhoy.
Who cares about a division one side?
The SFA is indeed the football equivalent of a “rotten borough”.
Am I alone in thinking that it’s all soooooo feckin’ funny?
Here’s the official document
From the SFA.
