Some sympathy for Stewart Robertson

728

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.

  1. Thanks CRC for the quiz earlier. It was great fun.

     

     

    In the interest of fairness and transparency I was on a video call with a friend of mine when we decided to do it together.

     

     

    We still came far from first…!!!

     

     

    I would recommend it for others. ‘Twas great fun.

  2. Scottish media dont understand difference between a loan and an advance? These guys attend university?

     

     

    Advance payment is getting money you have earned

     

     

    A Loan is money you receive from other party which you have not pay back

     

     

    If league is not declared, it did not happen and so there is no league placement, prize money and so you cant give an advance. In order for an advance payment to be make the spfl need to know the league has been completed.

     

     

    clubs got an advance in 2017 because of short term cash flow issues, there was no doubt about the league being completed.

     

     

    Context is everything and sadly the media and sevco etc are trying to spin it as if the situation is like for like, it is clearly way different. That is no smoking gun it simply proves the spfl able to understand context and sevco and hearts are not.

  3. I’ve read the last couple of Tom English articles on the BBC with astonishment until I remembered that he was still doing interviews with Craig Whyte long after everyone else realised what was going on.

     

     

    So the question is, is he really that thick, or does he think it helps his career?

     

     

    The last 2 articles would have been laughed at if they appeared on Follow Follow

  4. in other matters.

     

    the miss world competition started in 1953.

     

    the year i was born.

  6. Folks: On movie contributions.

     

     

    gonnae no dae that gonnae no? I cannae get to sleep for laughing.

  7. Message to Tom English: An investigation into inappropriate or illegal activity is initiated AFTER evidence is presented to justify such an investigation.

     

    You do NOT launch an investigation simply because the delusional accusers happen to reside at Ibrox.

     

    As Donald Findlay so eloquently put it, that’s not how Rangers used to behave (he left out the bit about Rangers being deid and all that but he had mentioned that previously).

    thousands of ventilators short and hundreds of I c u beds short, can I just ask where this info comes from as the current data seems to contradict this, with spare capacity in beds and ventilators being reported by Scottish government

     

     

    Hi mate that comes from a wee procurement project I am in run by dept of health.if we had been hit by virus by pre lockdown number/r =3 then we would have been flattened totally by covid19. There but for the grace…will haver more bout it over a beer but both wee Nicholas and the Eton dolt were v lucky and will surf that luck til a vaccine.

    It has to be said, Tom English is a coward and a chancer.

     

     

    He ignored the biggest scandal in Scottish football (“bring me the evidence” being his chant) whilst now seems happy to accept the inane ramblings of a dysfunctional board. Positioning himself as some bastion of virtue?

     

     

    Tom, yer an arsehole

  10. It has to be said. ‘GG, Thank You.

     

     

    Duck Duck Go….
