Some sympathy for Stewart Robertson

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I know lockdown is causing much anxiety, but can you imagine being in Newco chief exec Stewart Robertson’s shoes these days?  He must have known the gig was up when he decided not to release his ‘evidence’ before clubs were able to send proxy vote to block his EGM resolution.

I’m sure he hoped the SPFL would announce they have enough votes in the bag, allowing him to flounce off, instead of substantiating his claim, but those he wanted sacked at the League will want to see this play out as much as the rest of us.

He even has Graeme Spiers calling him out as the weakest man he’s met in football.  For a man in his position, “weak” is the most damning word, it will resonate with those whose support he relies on.  And let’s not forget, he has tens of millions to find to continue trading though next season, by comparison, this SPFL mess is like a July Walk on the Queen’s highway.

From what I hear, Stewart is a decent bloke, one made for less complex times.  His strings are almost certainly being pulled by some sinister Geppetto character.  If he fails to produce his ‘evidence’, this afternoon’s Premiership club meeting will be an excruciating, if not humiliating, affair.  It will all be over soon, Stewart; you hang in there.

I’m sure we would all like to congratulate PSG on winning the ninth title in their history and seventh in eight years yesterday, apart from that Neymar character, of course.  The story for Scottish football in how the French league finished is the third place finish of Rennes – who could only manage a fourth place finish in the Europa League group Celtic topped.

While we are not in PSG’s class, we more than held our own against a French and Italian sides in the Europa League this season.  Like Celtic, Rennes will enter the Champions League qualification round next season.

    I would rather be cheered up than be made sadder but that `cartoon` makes its point in an instant.

    Just read the Tom English `article ` on the BBC site. Very poor stuff.

     

    I believe he has the talent to be a good journalist but his lack of integrity moves him into the `controvery is better than truth `faction.

    A fine piece . Proper journalism.

     

     

    Even in a serious article, Mr McKenna shows there is still room for humour:

     

     

    `The concept of taking pride in patriotism is absurd. It’s like getting weepy about having hair.`

    That has got to be a rollover in SWEEP.Who would have picked him.

  32. The Battered Bunnet on

    Tom English gets a lot of stick from all comers, which is generally a decent weather vane for impartiality. (The bigoted shite he takes from some Celtic ‘supporters’ is shameful)

     

     

    Objectively, he’s the best writer currently working in Scottish sport. Admittedly, and regrettably, that’s not a high bar, however he is in my view very good, regardless of the poverty of competition.

     

     

    His current position on the whole SPFL/Dundee vote malarkey is quite curious. He’s a dog with bone, only the bone – if it exists at all – is buried in the garden. It’s referred to widely and there’s talk of it being unearthed ‘soon’, but as yet it’s unsubstantiated. Some believe there’s a bone buried in the garden, others believe not. It’s all a matter of belief, not of fact

     

     

    Meanwhile, whether there’s something buried there or not, the house is being demolished. Coronavirus is sweeping through the finances of football clubs as readily as it is sweeping through our communities and care homes. Of all the topics to be vexed about, the matter of the SPFL’s voting seems strictly immaterial.

     

     

    In that light his championing of the issue is difficult to understand. It crosses my mind that he has either seen the ‘evidence’ for himself, and appreciates its importance, or otherwise trusts that the evidence is as damning as Sevco wish us to believe.

     

     

    Alternatively, he’s lost professional judgement and is in danger of losing his professional reputation.

     

     

    Must say, if I was to stake my reputation on a venture, I’d need a little more than a nod and a wink from those running PR at Ibrox.

    It’s not journalism, it’s punditry.

     

     

    Cheap and easy to produce, that’s why it’s so prevalent.
